Welcome.
May the protection of Ariel be with you.
Hot enough for you? It never used to be like this.
I grew up here. I ascended as a Daeva about 70 years ago and left to follow Ariel's call.
But things changed. Aether became scarce. The land became arid. I came back here thinking I might be able to help.
But without Aether, there's nothing I can do. Young people are leaving. The old ones have nowhere else to go and won't accept help. I'm just at a loss.
I've been gone too long.
You see Hannet over there? And Margarro who coughs all day long? They were children when I left the village. Dellome and I grew up together.
I'm still blessed with youth, but they're all counting down their last days.
I hate watching everything I cherished fading away. It's one reason Daevas travel, I suppose--the price we pay for serving the Seraphim Lords. But it's a hard one.
