The ship took us to our destination and back in five days. My teammates and I are certain. Those on the wagons agreed to the same time frame. [He has absolute confidence in their experiences. And yet-] If something happened… I think we may have been enchanted without our knowledge. Though when it occurred I don’t know.

[Part of him wonders if the ship and wagons were… cursed somehow. Because they lost team members and time alike. But he won’t say so; it could easily have been their destinations that were to blame. Or the sword, or any number of things.]
