"Keeliai is the size of many cities on Earth," Raven observed. "And food is transported in from farmlands and other regions, and other countries as well."

Having to explain this strikes her as odd so she ventures more information. "My name is Raven. You're from somewhere called... Berk?"

"That's the name of the island," Astrid explains with a shrug, helpless to offer a better explanation.

"And the village. Where are you from?"

[zinthosmantra]

Raven nods as though conveying that the description was enough and pondered her answer for a moment. "I've been living in Jump City," she answered. "But I'm from a place called Azarath. There are things in Keeliai that remind me of both places so it's been... interesting."

"How are they different?"

Astrid assumes Jump City is a bit like Keeliai in being a large city, but that doesn't leave much comparison for Azarath.

[zinthosmantra]

"Azarath is peaceful," the purple-haired teen answered easily. "Jump City... is anything but. Some of the architecture here reminds me of the monk's temples, but the level of technology here in Keeliai is more like Earth. It seems to be a blend of science and magic."

[its_communication]

"I'm guessing," Astrid says after a moment's pause, "that the temples are an Azarath thing?"

Some things she needs spelled out.

"We don't have either. I mean, I can't tell at all what's magic and what isn't, even though people keep saying there's a difference."
