Since it seems we're here for a while, I figure it might be time for us all to get to know each other... without the help of that strange AI program.

I come from a country named Ylisse. It's led by an Exalt, the current one is Chrom. We use more magic than the kind of technology that's found here. And our magic is different, but that may be true for others too. It's a normally peaceful country too, even if the past few years haven't been that way.

What was... is, your home like? And, if you have any questions about mine, I will try to answer.

I come from a star my people call 'Etheirys'. So named for its abundance of aether.

[monklookslikealady]

Etheirys. That's a beautiful name.

Aether though, I haven't heard of that. What exactly is it?

[emet_sulk]

The foundation of all life and matter on our star.

I suppose one could liken it to the 'bios' found here.

[monklookslikealady]

I see.

I don't know if we have a specific word for that back home. We definitely don't have bios, like here.

[emet_sulk]

And yet you speak of magic. I imagine it is synonymous with the foundation of that power.

Will you explain to me what an Exalt is?

[monklookslikealady]

I see. It's something for me to think about.

As for the Exalt, it's their title. The First Exalt is who first put the Fell Dragon Grima in a 1000 year sleep. They made a bloodline pact with the Divine Dragon Naga in order to do so, and their descendants have been the rulers of Ylisse ever since.

[emet_sulk]

Only a thousand years? What happened when the dragon woke up?

[monklookslikealady]

I believe they thought it was permanent, but the Grima woke back up and tried to take over our continent again. Started a war between the countries of Ylisse and Plegia.

We were trying to keep the future from happening.

[emet_sulk]

Someone foresaw it happening then? In my experience, such predictions are inevitable. But you have my sympathies regardless.

That said, if the seer did not see the aftermath then there is room for triumph.

[monklookslikealady]

It's stranger than that...

...what are your beliefs on time travel? Because it's involved in this.

[emet_sulk]

[ His expression, behind the screen, twists into one of...irritation. ]

It is what it is, and what it is is more trouble than not. Are you saying someone forced your seer's vision to come true?
