I have been looking at the community more now, and I wonder: does anybody travel? And if so, where have you visited? I ask because I have been a wanderer for about ten years now, and I have seen much of my country. I was curious about other countries and worlds.

I've never done very much traveling but I have been able to see a few different places. The home I have now is very different from the town I grew up in and the community has shown me a lot, too.

I think I enjoy having a home more than I would enjoy always traveling. Is there a reason you do it so often?

That does sound wonderful. I am glad this community can offer such a chance.

I fought in a war ten years ago, and when it was over, I swore that I would do some good in the world without having to resort to bloodshed. So I have wandered and done what I can to help people still trying to live in a changing world.

I'm glad too. It gives us a lot of chances we'd never have without it. [You know, along with the viruses and spying posts.]

You were a soldier?

Well, I'm travelling in another world right now. I don't think it's related to the community, though.

I was a swordsman fighting for the Emperor's forces. I believed then that I was bringing about a new era. Now, I realize that I cut down many of the people who should have helped usher in that new era.

Oro? What is it like?

War does make people do a lot of bad things. Sometimes, living with it is one of the hardest things to do. I'm very glad you've changed your mind about it all.

Maybe one day I will learn to forgive myself for all that I did, but I am at least learning to move beyond it.

You can forgive yourself and still try to make a difference. War is a horrible thing, I'm glad it's over for you.

I haven't traveled as much as some people, but I've been to a few fairy parties, as well as the Isle of Mannon and London. I'm from Edinburgh, of course, so you might consider me traveling right now.

There are still people who are having trouble in this new era. So I have decided that I will help and defend them.

That sounds nice all the same. How is England?

I'm pretty much always traveling these days, since I'm in the army. We never go anywhere that interesting, though. Just lots and lots of border patrols!

It may not be interesting, but it is better than having to fight. Maybe you can at least see some interesting scenery.

Huh? No way, fighting's much better, it's tons of fun! It's what I joined the army for in the first place, y'know! I could go sightseeing by myself!

What army are you part of?

The Plegian army! I don't know if you even have Plegia in your world, though, so that might be meaningless to you!

No, I do not believe we do. I am from Japan.

Oh, I met some other people from there too! We don't have any place called Japan here, so I'm kinda curious! What's it like?

It is a beautiful land. In my time, we are in an age of transition. The old samurai--the warrior class--no longer have the power they once did, now that the Emperor has been restored to the throne and common people have more control over the government.

It's very different. There are monsters here, and the climate and culture isn't like it is back home. But it's also really interesting! There are all sorts of things that have never existed in my world.

What sort of things? Beyond the monsters, I imagine.

Well, right now we're travelling to visit an augur. There are people who really can see more things than ordinary people can, and even predict the future, and the augur is one of them.

Oh- the Warriors probably count as well. They have special powers, things like creating and controlling ice.

I have heard of warriors and monks who can manipulate their chi, but that kind of power is amazing.

It's nice. The air isn't as clear as Scotland and there aren't quite as many fairies out and about, but there are a lot more people as well.
