The atmosphere inside the house slowly settled after the initial chaos faded, although Ragnar still looked at me like he was debating whether hugging me again or punching me through the wall would better express his feelings, while North stayed close enough that every time I glanced in her direction I could still see the lingering anger beneath the relief in her eyes.
Eventually everyone gathered around what remained of the sitting area after Silver repaired most of the damage caused by Ragnar's aura, and once things calmed enough for an actual conversation to happen, I finally began recounting everything that had happened inside Oriel.
At first they listened with curiosity, but the deeper I went into the story, the quieter the room became. I explained the reincarnation world, the wars between believers and defiers, the conquest of the empires, the Divinity gathered from the worlds, and finally the Crimson Treasury itself along with the treasures I obtained there.
