This may seem like an odd request, but are there any nearby forests I can burn? If not, a large field would suffice. A very... very large field. Preferably one with no people around for reasons that I hope should be obvious enough.

It's something I have to do. Really.

[a small cough. silence. the people here seem open-minded enough, so explaining her circumstances shouldn't be an issue. but still... uhhhhh what else-]

... So, I've been reading a lot of books at the library and couldn't find anything on Manakete. Ma-na-kete. Is anyone even familiar with the word? There was plenty of information on dragons in general, of course, but not a single mention of Manakete specifically.

[another pause. if her kind doesn't exist in this world, doesn't this make her an endangered species or something? suddenly Nah has a vague idea of how Yarne felt. huh.]

Er, thank you for your time.

What's with the forests of this world, anyway? People have been saying there isn't much left.

There is much that is destroying them, humans being the primary and the main cause for said destruction. They consume forests for various reasons, either for what the forest has, either for the space the forest is located at.

And they reached a point they have consumed so much that the balance of this world might be at stake.

What— that's awful! How could humans destroy their own homeworld like that?!

Re: [Video] it's alright!

It took them too long to realize their mistake. They didn't assume it was a mistake, at first.

They try to remedy, but in fact, humans have reached a level of development in which they will always need more than what they have.

So there's no helping it? Is that it? They're going to keep slowly destroying their world?

They are learning. Learning to respect the world they live in, their balance. It's something it takes time.

But by the time every last human knows better, the world could be unsalvageable.

Many are already fighting to protect it. Maybe it's not too late.
