he soon finished.

"Hm. I suppose Nira has made a few good ones after all." The woman smiles slightly, and nods approvingly.

he nodded. *and the Siren, Ti. we met her on the way here. shes been helpful for another companion, and for gathering food. shes... blunt, at times, and may miss some cues, but she means well and is a great freind.*

She nods again. "I see."

he looked up at her for a moment and said softly, *i dont care that our races are at war, or that i wasnt accepted by the soldiers in the army. i hadnt been accepted beforehand due to my... grotesque appearance. not much changed. but i want to help people, keep them safe, and make them happy. and i did that with Kira. i want to keep doing that.*

"Then you are one of Nira's. Truly." She smiles in approval. "I'm sure she's quite proud of you."

The other two nod.

he smiled a bit. *while i thank you, im still struggling to understand your culture. what do you mean, im one of Niras?*

"She made you all to be the harbingers of power. She meant for you lot to be powerful, but to use that power to help others. Which is... not how things went." She sighs. "I've read the texts- the books she wrote to keep your kind from chaos. It disappoints me that most of your peers choose to warp her words into justification for attacking those I create."

he nodded. *yeah. i want peace. the war between our races... this isnt peace. this isnt what she would have wanted.*

She nods. "You are the kind Nira intended all arials to be. Not many share your, and by proxy Nira's, view."
