"Well, 'saved' you that first time is a bit of a stretch. That's when I found out how far giants can throw boulders..." he chuckles. "Without Ug, Alalla, Tulfgyr, and Maverick, both of us would have been that giant's catch." He smile fades as he remembers Ug and Tulfgyr.
Something was itching the back of his mind, however. Zenithral had seen the town from this view before, he realized. The Battle of Kuldahar. He had sent his loyal flumph familiar, Fluphy, up to see through its eyes for a tactical view of the town.
That was when he saw his father kill Arundel.
He didn't want to reopen old wounds, but Zenithral saw an opportunity here. He looks at Halla with a look that says Sorry for this, but trust me.
"We haven't told you about the Battle of Kuldahar, have we?" Zenithral says to Aribeth and Fenthick as they approach. "That was when the Great Oak was dying and monsters were venturing far further than they normally did." He continues to recount the tale of the battle, pointing to different locations and recounting what happened there, such as the barricade at the temple and Nessa's attempted illusory shenanigans at the airship, letting Alalla and Halla interject with their own sides of the story. He describes how, though great losses, they managed to save the town.
"It was because we stood together," he finishes. "We learned our strengths, but also our weaknesses, and so we had to trust each other. That's when we really started to become a team. I don't know what we'll find across the planes, but remember that." Zenithral knew that wasn't entirely true; it was much later when they really worked together as a team, but it was certainly a start and an inspiring story.
