[Mipha smiles warmly when the message starts up, before bowing her head politely in greeting] Hello, everyone. I am Mipha. For those who have not met me before, my people are called the Zora and I will be glad to answer your questions; however, I have a question of my own to pose beforehand.

While I was helping to put the fires out, I found a curious list. It listed the following cities: Olympia, Wyver, Stroln, Dranbu, and Nadril, with a red line marking out Nadril. Aside from Olympia and Wyver, do these other names sound familiar at all? I know it's possibly best we all lay low for now, but if anyone makes any inquires and acquires some information, I'd like to know. They may be potential allies to keep in mind.

[You know, should anything continue going south with Wyver and Olympia.

She taps her chin thoughtfully a moment before adding:] While I'm here.. If there's anyone still recovering from the riots and needs healing, please let me know. I know healing magic that can fully heal physical injuries. While I'm residing in Olympia, I'll gladly travel to Wyver to help if I can.

[Another warm smile] That's all. Thank you for your time.

Where did you find this information? Was there anything that implicated Olympia in particular?

Could also just be that there's some underground trying to oust them or.. take them out one by one. Think of that bombing that sent us all to Wyver for a little bit.. could still be that kind of thing.

Of course, it could just be Olympia too. Might be why there's such a beef between the two.

Uh... lets just say bare handed fighting isn't great on anyone's hands?

I found it in the palace while I was trying to save some art and things.

There isn't anything to really implicate Olympia, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that. I was simply speculating, since it was among art studies of the empress that I found them. The stories do talk of that hero of theirs' conquering to unite everyone. But it also seems strange to have their own city listed on here if it was their own doing.

It could be as innocent as a list of important cities just to keep track of them, and marking one that's been wiped out or downsized in some way.

Well finding it amongst that stuff doesn’t necessarily rule out Olympia either. Do you know who “they” is? Or is they Olympia? Sorry I know that’s literally one million questions ...

True. But it makes you wonder about the others we haven’t even seen or heard of yet...

Or at least I do.

By 'they' I mean Olympia, my apologies.

But yes, it makes me wonder too. I suppose they're either not terribly important, or not large enough to be thought of much if no one's ever heard of them before now. All of Olympia and Wyver's stories seem to revolve around each other and don't mention other places.

They could be potential allies for us, if things continue to go south around here.

Exactly. Makes me want to strike out of here sometime and see if we can't track down the other two.

Unless they're in a rivalry with one another too..

In which case, I'm back to making our own settlement and defending it ourselves if we have to.

Unfortunately, I fear that might end with us having more enemies than we need, if they all start to see us as a threat.

Still, I can't say I dislike the idea either. It' be nice to have our own place, but we'd need a strong defense and something to offer that would make us more ideal as an ally than a target.

When people i Wyver re trying to throw other people in to pyres as 'sacrifices' I'm already wondering if I don't have more enemies than I need that just aren't bold enough to say so in the day to day. A bit btter when you're feeling your dragons blood and alll.. you know..

Some of the people that re refugees have wild powers and the lot.

It might take a mass walk out to make them realize what an asset refugees are, but..

Also worth a shot I think.

That's true, although the most powerful ones I know have all had their powers limited. [Still, she thinks Duo's being short-sighted about it, but she's not about to totally rain on the parade. She'd rather have a place of their own they've carved out themselves too.]

It'd certainly send a message. I'm sure there might be places that aren't fond of either Olympia or Wyver ether who might be able to help us in the event they want to retaliate--'the enemy of my enemy is my friend,' I believe the saying goes?

But first we should figure out where these cities are and send a couple of people to scout them, I think. Knowledge is power, after all.

Yah, but it's better than I can do.

It sounds good in theory but what if we find these other places and they end up being just like Olympia and Wyver in the end? Bouncing back and forth between places isn't really going to be all that great over time.

Finding them might be a bigger challenge, but it'll be worth it in the end I think. Right now with Wyver and Olympia at odds they probably aren't going to share information that could let us go somewhere else I don't think. Kinda doesn't sustain the needs of whoever is kicking up all the dirt for the people rioting before.

I suppose in a lot of ways this might turn into a 'lesser of great evils' sort of thing, with regards to these cities.

But it's best not to get ahead of ourselves too much. We'll need to take it one step at a time. But it's exciting, right? I'm not sure if my position would allow me to leave for an extended period, but I'd like the opportunity to try and discover these places too, I think.

It's been a very long time since I've gone traveling and exploring.

I hate that shit. Been dealing with it my entire life I feel like and it's getting real old real quick.

New places are always interesting, honestly. I really like that kind of thing - the exploration and learning of new people and all of that. It's the kind of thing I'd hoped I'd be able to do once the war was over in my world and yet here I am. If you want someone to go out and go looking, maybe throw a bone Aranea Highwind's way. I can do some solo exploring for or with you, though, if you'd rather not.

You know I'm always ready for an adventure. :)

Yes, for everything strange and terrible that might have happened since the Storm, I can find comfort in knowing I've been able to learn and see so much more than I ever would have back home. I'm glad to have met so many people from so many fascinating cultures and worlds. Including you, of course.

An adventure sounds fun, once everything calms down a little more.

[It takes her a couple tries to figure out how to do it, but eventually she also sends a:] :)

I don't know. I'm a little annoyed I didn't get to see and learn a lot more about my world where I was from before I got sucked in to this mess. Did all that fighting and then I didn't even get to enjoy any of it really.

Then you get here and they're telling you to get out? Annoying. I'd rather be back on Earth figuring out weather there.

Yeah, let's plan on it. I feel like I'm in need of that kind of thing honestly.

Even if we don't find the other places it's worth a shot for the experience.
