"No particular reason. I just wanted to know how this land is shaped, and how far we have come. Thank you." Anik said.
"It is good to know these things, just to feel more safe. But you say that there are more mountains ahead? Are these of the same size, or do they look different? Some connection to the ice fields, perhaps?"

"Well, the island is roughly shaped like a water drop. It's mostly mountainous, especially in the southern parts of it. Most of the settlements that aren't along the coast are also near there. If the map is drawn to scale, we should be... halfway across it, roughly estimated.
As for your question, the seem to be smaller in size, but I can't say that for sure. There is more space between them, however. As such, I do doubt there is a relation to the ice fields."
"These world wars were started because there was at least one faction that wanted to take control of the world. But it was through the combined efforts of other nations that repelled this take over. For instance, world war 2 was started by a coalition of the countries Germany, Italy, and Japan. Each of them had their own malicious prospects. Germany was headed by leader known as Adolf Hitler, who led a campaign to wipe out all those he saw as imperfect. But the cost of this take over was too great for him and even his followers. Long story short, Adolf died, his followers (known as the Nazi regime) collapsed, and Germany's capital, Berlin, was split into two halves for decades. But there was no complete destruction of Germany when the rebelling nations forced the Nazi regime to fall. And even after the atomic bombs fell on Japan, there was never a complete invasion of the country. And the reason is because enough is enough."
"I know I shouldn't draw a comparison between Nazi Germany and the Calibethian Empire, even though world take over was in both their views. But even if you were to go to war with the Calibethian Empire, what will be the extent of the invasion? Will all the cities be destroyed? Will this be a complete ethnic cleansing of human life? You're talking about civilians who might be killed during the invasion. People who might have had no qualms and never wanted war."
She sighed.
"Look. I know that I'm not a very good historian, and I'm not a politician. And even though I am not completely understanding the conflict here. I just wanted to understand it. That's my mission as a scientist. I have evidence of the sky metal that fell onto Calibeth; The fragment of the sun that fell. It's recorded in my data banks. It's the one other thing that I have as evidence other than the map of the ruins and the pictures of the weapons that were being manufactured."
She banged her head against the wall.
"But I don't even know if that matters at this point."

"I said he has no loyalty. He's selling there because business is good. I have no doubt he would happily expand here if he thought he could."
Even though she did not ask for it, Anik appreciated Timea telling her more about what was on the map. She answered: "Alright. So it seems we still have a long time to walk until we arrive at the ice fields. I hope we don't need to cross some of these mountains, though.
But what about settlements in the north? Are there some, or do we basically have only one goal? ... And what is drawn on the map about where we need to go? I know that we should not go too far off the path, as it would be too hot there ... but where doss the road lead us?"

The Doctor walked up to the wolf "But what about all the man, woman and children that live there. What about the soldiers who fight to protect them. What about your own soldiers who most likely die in the war. are you willing to throw them all away and for what? to settle an old Grudge, to become the same monsters your people die to. The Doctor told him getting increasingly more angry
Cybil, who had been in the meeting the entire time and hadn't said anything for no reason, chimed in, [color=9f2089]"Or you could just not go to war and senselessly kill millions of people. The Empire is still gonna not be a thing if you do that too."[/color]
Veketta - Day 6
"We wouldn't destroy their civilisations, no. What some people," one of the foxes began, glancing at the brown wolf as he spoke, "forget is that most of the Calibethan Empire was taken over by force. The Faotrine northerners never worshiped the sun god until the conquest, from what I've heard at least. Our issue is with the royal family that rules the empire. Yes, civilians will die, and that's unfortunate, but I feel that it's a necessary evil."
The bear considered what Robin had said, before saying, "That's less concerning, then. Not good, but less concerning."
Upon hearing the Doctor's statement, the brown wolf bared his fangs, and let out a long, low growl. He quickly stood up and jumped over the table in front of him, landing on another table and causing the clan leaders sitting at it to dive out of the way. As he charged across the room towards the Doctor, he yelled, "Say that again and I'll rip your throat out!" The wolf would attempt to tackle the Doctor and, if successful, would begin punching him in the face.
This distracted the others present, however Ferren still noticed Cybil's statement. Cybil would see him vanish from the table, and appear next to her. "What do you mean by that, miss?" he asked.

"There are numerous - I don't know how large. But I don't have any plans to visit any of them, however, not as it stands. The roads were marked on the map, which is how I know where to go. We just need to follow this road, and we would arrive at the ice fields, eventually. We'll also pass a city known as Pealenna, on the way there. If the distance between Veekhutta and there is indeed the same as the distance we've traveled before, we'll stop close by, and set up camp, there."
The Doctor jump out of the way of the wolf man. The Doctor's voice grew even angrier. "I ask this question once before." the doctor said as he look at the wolf man. "If you had a spell that would kill every person who lives in the Calibethan Empire would you use it?

"Alright. I just wondered if there was a settlement in the ice fields. But it seems just the ice fields are our goal." Anik said.
"Now that I successfully derailed the conversation, maybe I can ask you about the language. I know you have sometimes trouble finding the right words, or do not know certain words. So this does not seem to be you mother tongue, either. Do you have another, or is this the one human tongue you speak? I'm curious."
Thinking this might seem odd, her coming back to the subject of languages, she added, after thinking a bit:
"Maybe I should not try to break off all conversations about unpleasant subjects we talk about. I can't repress all the memories of my growing up."

OoC: @Kirke: Did you see my last Sam post?
"Perhaps you could talk to him? Are ambassadors and messengers for Vesh allowed in Calibeth?"

"I think we should work through these memories, at some point. I don't think repressing your memories like this is good for you. But, there is a time and place for such things. Until then, there isn't any harm in putting it off for later", Timea responded to Anik's last comments, then was quiet for a moment; both to indicate speaking on a different subject, and to think how much she should reveal.
"Either way, this isn't my mother tongue, no. My native tongue comes in two variants; vocal, which is mostly used for long-distance calls, and doesn't really have much depth, and visual. This is changing the hide to show different colours, with colour combination, the location of the coloured patch patch on the body and size of which all mean different things., she explained. "Aside from this one, I also speak other human languages." Timea was then quiet for a short time, counting the number of languages she spoke. "Eleven of them, I think. Although by now, most of them may have changed so much, I can't recognise it any longer. I also have a vague understanding of the languages of other creatures, but not nearly enough to claim I can speak them."
Cybil sighed loudly at the fight breaking out. She was already in the process of standing up and leaving by the time the man appeared next to him. [color=9f2089]"Well I mean the Sun God and all the royal family that mattered are dead. Without all that 'divine right' holding the thing together, it's pretty much inevitable at this point that the empire is going to tear itself apart. Now that its central government is weak, people will start challenging what's left for run of the place, and territories that don't care to be a part of it any longer will work up the nerve to declare independence. Going to war with the Empire as a whole might delay, or even outright prevent that."[/color] Cybil explained.

"Yes." Anik said to the first thing, glad she still did not need to talk about it.
"So these long distance calls, are they very loud?" she asked, not knowing if there was something else to it. "And visual? I can't imagine ... no, I can't even comprehend it. Is it like letters? ..." she frowned, as she tried to imagine, but failed utterly, not even understanding the concept of color. "... do you also change the texture of your skin for that?
And eleven human tongues? That is impressive. I was taught a little, but ... not knowing how to read, I could not really memorize the words. And they have changed, while you still know the old tongue? ... For a language to change, that must take eons."
"As for the languages of other creatures ... do you understand what animals are saying? I hope I do not say obscene things when I try to imitate them." Anik laughed. "I doubt humans can really understand animals ... or did you mean other beings I do not know?"
"Yes." Anik said to the first thing, glad she still did not need to talk about it.

[color=0066cc]"Well I am sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not here to chat with you."[/color] - You reply while grabbing your pillow and standing up, limping over towards the door. [color=0066cc]"Because honestly, I've got nothing to gain from it and you are insufferable."[/color] And with that, you shove the pillow into the open slot in the door.

[color=0066cc]"Well that's just great. Are you going to be any use at all, or is this just me going crazy?"[/color]

Yeager pushed the pillow back out. "Oh I'm quite aware that you're no fan of chatting. Trying to kill me without even speaking vith me, trying to figure out my motivations or anything really, likely on some vague story that I vas selling veapons. For all you knew I could have been selling daggers. And THEN you have the audacity to try an assassination in broad daylight, but don't even give me a good workout... Although, to be honest you helped my sales pitch, so I guess I should thank you... insert name here.
Anyways! You DO in fact have something to gain here. I can't speak for vhat you did in this city, but depending on how nice I'm feeling I could ask these nice guards to drop the attempted assassination charges."
