Decree of Absolute Trust

Astratis was taken aback by Izroth's sudden agreement. However, from what he's seen of Izroth's character thus far, Astratis could not help but shake his head and release a small sigh.

"I have underestimated your sincerity, Izroth," Astratis said as he stood to his feet.

He then continued, "In truth, it is still a mystery to me as to why you have decided to assist us. You have even gone so far as to go against people from your own world in our aid. Yet, I still held onto the slightest suspicion towards you and your companions. I am deeply ashamed."

In Astratis' eyes, Izroth and those who accompanied him were anomalies. And, when he fought side by side with Tal'Nis, Astratis could not help but secretly manifest some doubts.

What if there were more powerful figures like Tal'Nis back in the place they called the Mortal Realm?

What if after Izroth's return those powerful figures chose this opportunity to attack while their forces were weakened?
