[WELCOME TO THE AZIM STEPPE. perhaps you're there from a different ~~instance~~ timeline, or perhaps not. either way, there's a warrior of light xaela here who is sitting on the edge of the Dawn Throne, legs dangling off the cliff as she looks down over the Dotharl land. She's pretty conflicted! she also is dressed like a weirdo, and barefoot. And there's a rapier at her side, embedded in the ground so she can draw it quickly without it getting in the way while she sits.]

What a right pain this all is... They'll have the next me's head for this.

[Or maybe you're elsewhere! Ibakha the Wanderer can end up anywhere, so go nuts if you have somewhere else you'd rather she be.]

You know little, whoever you are.

[She looks this girl over, before taking in the surroundings.]

... I should not have wandered to the sea already. There should still be many malms to go. What manner of strange place is this?

Oh, I know.

[why does her face light up when she acknowledges that?]

So I must ask these kinds of questions, see? So that I can learn more.

[nope, she really is delighted by this, sincerely.]

Malm? Hmmm... No, I don't know. It's just the same as it's always been. This little town above the sea's cliffs has always been here. Well, as long as I've come here.

It should not be here.

[Her tail flicks angrily behind her.]

What is this place?

But why shouldn't it? It's pleasant here.

[she does not bat an eye, just looks confused and tilts her head]

It's a village. What else? They fish and live their lives.

There are many malms until the ocean. My feet will never lead me astray.

Therefore... I have been moved.

Malms again? But in my experience... feet can do that very easily. It's why I am here.

[she waves to indicate her wheelbarrow, dropping her hands to its rusted and sun bleached sides]

Moved here? There isn't anything to find.

My feet will not. I am Ibakha Wanderer, whose feet have touched all the land in the world.

Then... shouldn't you know where you are? If you have touched it all.

I should. Which is why I am so perplexed.

How terrible. But you've come here now.

Have you aught at all useful to say?
