The meeting concluded with a sense of mutual respect and a shared goal. Varok, still nursing his wounds but now fully convinced of Canna's intentions, watched as Kael took the lead in finalizing the details. The atmosphere in the hut was one of cautious optimism, a stark contrast to the tension of the earlier confrontation.
Kael spoke clearly and confidently, outlining the terms of their agreement. "In exchange for guiding us to the forest where the Verdant Wardens reside, Canna will leave Vorgrim here to assist with the village's protection. Vorgrim's presence should deter any potential threats, ensuring the safety of your people while we are away."
Liora nodded, her expression thoughtful. "This arrangement is acceptable. Tiberius will guide you through the forest. His knowledge of the terrain will be invaluable."
