Scourge of Evil
"Oh, for sure!" Alunya confirms with an eager nod of his head. "I mean, where do I even start? Back at home, our village was always protected by a guardian deity named Hylicia. Now I might have had some disagreements with them..." Antares snickers in the background as Alunya pauses. "But as far as the the village goes, they kept it safe with their divine barrier. Thats why everyone was safe there! Now if you ask me it was dreadfully boring that way, but I guess that's how most of those folks preferred it."
"And besides" Alunya continues. "If I never developed sorcery, then I probably wouldn't have gotten blamed for the storm! And then I wouldn't have gotten exiled, and Antares wouldn't have felt bad about it, so if you think about it magic is the only reason that Ares and I made up!" Alunya announces their convoluted chain of logic cheerily and with utmost sincerity.
"We've seen all kinds of things since we left." Antares picked up. "But what has always been the most amazing to me is what my little brother is capable of. He uses magic to look at how living creatures are put together, and just kind of... tweaks it here and there. He's the reason that the two of us look like this, and not..." Antares shudders at the thought, seemingly normal maturity and aging was an uncomfortable topic for him. "Its truly amazing. He knows so much about the natural world just by using sorcery to look at how things work. Muscles and sinew and hearts and lungs..." Antares trails off, while Alunya blushes a little as if embarrassed at the praise, or at least what he interpreted as praise.
"Anyways. Divine creatures are a big group. We end up not getting along with alot of them but, well, thats partially just because we're pretty aggressive, ourselves! Plenty of them- even the mean ones- are very helpful to the right people. Even the ones that demand human sacrifices, at least protect their people from other events. Magical power is just the only real way to live out here, one way or another." Alunya affirms. "Besides, you would not believe how tasty divine beasts are when you grill them up. They're not made of normal flesh and bone, and the 'meat' lasts a really long time. Helps alot with fending off starvation in the winter."
"Actually, magic is pretty helpful for that in general." Antares continues Alunya's thought. "Our sorcery makes it easy to start fires, cut firewood, melt snow, and the like. And Alunya tells me alot of ecosystems out here wouldn't function at all without magic. The whole place would be a whole lot less lush and filled with life if there wasn't a good number of things that were able to supplement their diet with Resonant Energy." Antares then pulls off his helmet, forged of a glittering, platinum-white metal. "And this here, our armor and weapons, those are magical too! Forged of metal from a lunar meteor we found while exploring. Can't count how many times this has saved my life."
