"Lafia, are you sure?"
"Yes, trust me on this."
Lafia then looked at Xavier's wary posture and decided to throw her saber down.
*CLANG*
She then looked back at her teammates, indicating to them to do the same. Reluctantly, they also all threw down their weapons.
Xavier was surprised to see this. He thought he would have to negotiate for a long time before he could proceed, but this girl called Lafia hurried things up.
"Now, it's a better atmosphere to talk, isn't it."
Xavier, following suit, sheathed his sword and stepped inside the cave. He then reached for one of his pockets on his clothes and brought out an ear.
It was big, grotesque, and green, with red-colored rings marked on it.
"This is the ear of the hobgoblin chief. This should be proof enough that he's dead, right?"
