Chapter 221 Plans To Move To The Elven Continent
Chapter 221 Plans To Move To The Elven Continent
-----
We didn't had any other option? What did they meant by this? I wonder if they're actually planning to move to the Atlanta Continent, where the Elven Nation of Evergreen is located, which is the birthplace of my mother, she's the eight daughter of the King and the Queen of that place so that would make me a princess- Ah, yeah, they just said that.
"Really?! We are going to meet my grandmas and aunties and uncles?!" I asked in excitement. "I can't wait!"
"W-Well…"
"Yeah…"
My mother and my father looked at me with a bit of pity, as if they didn't wanted to tell me the truth about something quite important because they feared they would disappoint me. I had already heard from my mother that my grandparents were not the best, but I was okay with that, as long as I could see them for once, I would be alright with that, also I got a lot of aunties and uncles there, as my mother has another seven siblings who are all apparently older than her…
There are a few that are nice, like one of her elder sisters that always sends her food and other things from that continent through a teleportation artifact back in our home… So there's definitely nice people out there as well, I am pretty sure that not everybody is just an asshole or something.
"So we are really going there?" Wondered Aquarina. "But what about Sylphy's home? She got all her stuff there!" Said Aquarina.
"I'll take a quick trip there to bring it with us." Said my father.
"Bring it with us?" I asked. "H-How?"
"Well, that's not so hard, the house is made of wood, right? Some Nature magic should give it life, a few feet, and let it walk by itself." Said my mother.
"W-What? You can just do that?" I asked.
"Yeah, you'll learn that eventually, even dead wood can be revived if your nature magic is strong enough. And you'll be able to shape it around and more…" She said. "For now, enjoy your dinner, dear, let's leave these plans for later because it is a very long-term plant we got."
"Okay…" I said.
Aquarina and Zack were obviously going to come with me at the end, because we are moving the entire Amazon Tribe with us, which obviously include them into the pack. And my parents also said they were bringing our house by moving itself? That's quite crazy to think about.
"So we are going to the elves too?" Wondered Aquarina. "I don't want to go to another continent… It is scary…" Aquarina seemed to finally show some insecurities, sometimes she acts way to calm for everything, but at the end she's still a baby girl that needs to be protected.
"We know how you might feel, Aquarina." Said Shade. "But you have to know that there are not many options. This is for your good and that of Sylphy, Zack, and the Amazon Tribe as well, this continent is dangerous…" Shade seemed to know better of the "darkness" of this continent, and was well aware that there was a certain darkness in this continent more than even in the continent of the elves.
"This continent… the continent of Galatea, despite being humans, it is dangerous. The major Empires that govern the continent are very discriminatory of wild tribes such as the Amazon, and the only places where we can hide is in the wilderness, but the more these Empires expand over the continent, the more land they conquer and the more they destroy the forests to build more farms to feed their ever-growing populations." Said Nepheline. "They treat us Amazon as savages… Even as I am a Hero chosen by the gods, they barely hear the Gods' words and only use them to manipulate the masses, Gods are obviously not discriminatory of us, but they are for obvious motives. Making a target for the hate of the people is better so the people have a group they can hate, and they stop looking at the governments which are all corrupt."
"Eh? Mommy I don't get it…" Said Aquarina.
"Ah… Never mind, dear, I guess I spoke a bit too much. It was more of an inner rant than anything…" Sighed Nepheline. She seemed to be filled with a lot of hatred against these nations, and they seem to be pretty shitty, only using the gods for their own interests, without actually representing them for real but still making it seem as if they do… Well, that's pretty shitty indeed. But this was too complicated to explain it to a girl like Aquarina.
"Yeah, don't worry about it, Aquarina, Atlanta is a way better continent." Said Shade. "Despite Elves being prideful and selfish, they actually don't target other races and live on their own, as long as they're not bothered…"
"It is part of the "living with nature" trope that we have." Said my mother. "It prohibits us from simply intervening with a whole species and do something to harm them until extinction, while humans are more aggressive and barbaric, we try to make peaceful ways to connect such tribes to society, if they're aggressive we prefer to simply go away instead of attacking them because we know we could easily defeat them."
Well, my mother is quite prideful of her race despite what she always says about her family, doesn't' she? Anyways, I guess she's really talking about this seriously. The elves don't seem aggressive against other races of people, and they let them on their own, unless these races are somehow warmongers trying to kill them, in such a case they would choose to flee and let them on their own, and if they keep insisting… well, my mother implied that it might mean total annihilation using elves' superior magic, tools, and even magic technology. It seems that the Elven Nation is incredibly strong and a superpower of the world of Terrarium
