"So, you agree to surrender?" Auriya asked.
Korrath was at a loss.
On one side was his honor as a warrior.
On the other hand, there was the fate of his people.
He felt it would be too selfish to let his people, who have utmost trust in him, accept defeat because he could not dirty his hands.
His friends and Roknar realized what Korrath was going through.
On the other side, Ragna also could feel his dilemma, and so could Arin.
Ragna again looked at Arin in the hope of him coming up with a solution.
It was evident she was deeply moved with the ogre's warrior spirit.
On the other hand, Arin did not want to win over the Ogres with such resentment.
He patted Ragna's shoulder to assure her he will sort it out.
Ragna nodded and smiled back at him in gratitude.
Arin called the three kids and asked them whether they were happy with the outcome.
All three of them said they were not, and they did not want to accept it as victory, for, according to them, it was a hollow victory.
