The High Priest's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. It hadn't expected humans to make concessions so quickly, especially on such a crucial matter as land.

The High Priest knew that human history was filled with conflicts and transformations, and each loss of territory was accompanied by pain and resistance.
However, now these humans were willing to cede part of their land; did this mean they had truly learned something from this crisis?
