☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— It was the mission that brought about the questions I had, about the wellspring of knowledge, — said the former warrior, after the "loot" was in the raven's clutches, — victory came at a very high price. Klin and Kenshiro lost their humanity, and if the local cities are anything like those in my homeland, my companions will be unwelcome there. This will greatly complicate the execution of our mission, if not make its success an impossible dream. Of course, now it will be easier for them to travel through the sands, but an encounter with any caravan or other group of ordinary travelers could end badly for them. And no one could have foreseen the current outcome.
Alaria took a deep breath to gather her thoughts. She described only the first part of their current problem, but not the second. The second was her. To be more precise, her current state.
— At the same time, as a result of Melisar's dying treachery, I, an experienced warrior, have become little more than an ordinary person. He sealed my knowledge, skills, and memories somewhere deep within my consciousness, essentially turning me into a burden for the squad. I will be someone who will slow down Klin and Kenshiro during their daily travels through the desert. Someone who will have to look for shelter and food. Someone whom my now more gifted companions will have to protect. If I go on another journey through the desert, I realize that I will hardly survive it. And therefore, returning to Margel, for retraining or reassignment to another field of activity, where I can be of greater use to Her Lightness, seems like a more pragmatic solution for me. Unless, — the Tanar said with a barely perceptible hope in her voice, — you, o wellspring of knowledge, know ways to solve our problems. A way to quickly restore, "unlock," my skills. To make up for what Melesar stole. Perhaps even restore Klin and Kenshiro's humanity. It may sound overly fantastic, but I have seen many strange things in my life. I have even been to places like this "park." So I don't dare dismiss any possibilities.
