(Dear) mundane;

[unreachableutopia]

You and your friends should cease with your mockery. I neither possess a "collection of princesses" nor I seek to obtain one [ A collection of lions, on the other hand... ]. Helping distressed ladies because their princes are absent is an obligation I have as the King of Knights. It's only a coincidence they happen to be princesses or hold that title somewhat.

I feel that I am being slandered by your presumption, so stop. [ Obviously, she can't take a joke. ]

Ah, I see! How wonderful, to have such a thing codified.

That's rather the norm, where I'm from. At least in the Kingdom of Sindria.

[unreachableutopia]

I have never heard of your kingdom before. Where is located?

[king_of_sindria]

We're a prosperous island nation, and the spear-head of the Seven Seas Alliance. We're actually considered quite a progressive nation, to those with an enlightened mind-set. The weather is always fair, the men and women are joyous, and natural walls provide a normally impenetrable defense.

Granted, we could always use a few more magic users, but we're working on it.

[unreachableutopia]

[It isn't recognizable so she blames SECOND MAGIC and moves on.]

It sounds like a paradise. If it has strong natural defenses, then it is difficult to invade.

Magi are rare?

[king_of_sindria]

Even if they could, we're no pushovers.

Talented magic-users are a small group. Many are born without truly knowing their own talents. Some go their whole lives without really knowing what they are. It's a shame there are still those who fear them so.

[unreachableutopia]

Understandable. Magi have always been small in number, but they have their own organization in more modern times.

[Not in her time since the magic users were more common.]

[king_of_sindria]

There's a city composed of them, in distant lands. Though recent events have left me rather terse at them.

Magic is meant to be used to benefit mankind, not selfish reasons. Those who think otherwise destabilize the world.

[unreachableutopia]

Terse? You should take an immediate diplomatic approach if your relationship has worsened.

...This is what their rulers believe? Magi in general, except for a handful, have always been selfish and dedicated to their own research. That is how it is in my world.

[king_of_sindria]

Then I pity your world, if such a thing is true. The magoi that flows in the world is composed of the life force of those before us. Our magi use that magoi, and that within themselves, to cast spells. Doing so opens you up to their lives, their stories. You feel the hopes and dreams of others flowing through you.

[unreachableutopia]

Magoi? Is that a familiar?

[king_of_sindria]

It powers magic.

[unreachableutopia]

What can a magi do without them?

[king_of_sindria]

You need magoi for magic. Without it, there is no magic. A fire can't burn without fuel.

[unreachableutopia]

I see. It must be similar to "magical energy" or "prana".
