"Her master also wanted to go to Red Enclave, Senior Vicente. She told me about his teachings a few times during the stories she was telling me."
"Was anyone else on that trip with them?" Vicente asked, not knowing exactly if that would help him, but valuing whatever he could get now.
"Yes, there were two other elven disciples of that man who left Amae with them and will never return."
Larissa asked, "Does the tribe simply allow its members to leave like that?"
"No, but these were no ordinary elves. Besides, the tribe has always been open to the possibility of its members exploring distant places. That's how the elven race spread to many lower planes and became native not only to Anicane but also to many other worlds," said Lyra for the first time in this talk.
"What about you?" Vicente asked the 9-Star Magus in front of him, the strongest of the three, despite appearing to be the youngest and simplest.
Vicente wasn't fooled by her appearance, however. He could feel that the bone age of the little girl in front of him was substantial to the point that he had no doubt that she was the oldest one there.
"I was born in Anicane, but my mother and father came from Polaris Realm, and I was conceived on that plane," she said dryly. "My mother died during my birth, and my father disappeared not long after. So I have nothing to tell you about them."
Vicente narrowed his eyes, looking at Garnot and the elf who had brought them there.
That representative of the tribe smiled subtly and said to Vicente, "Lyra isn't here to talk about her own relatives. She is one of the oldest members of the tribe and is a great historian of the elves' history in Anicane and the Polaris Realm."
Larissa and Vicente returned their attention to the young-looking elf, not expecting this.
"What do you want?"
"You have the same goal as them. Then take me with you when it's your time to leave Amae. I won't help your group much in terms of power, I admit that. But I'll share with your group all the information you can learn while we're together." She placed her cards on the table, showing how this exchange would take place.
"Do you want to leave your island?" Larissa asked, not having thought that someone with her background would want to leave. "Don't tell me you want to go after your missing father?"
She looked at Larissa and vehemently denied it. "That man is probably dead. That was over a hundred thousand years ago... What I really want is to see this world as it is and stop just studying it.
Polaris Realm interests me too, but I'll never get the chance to go there. In that case, I'd rather you take me to an island that I feel some affinity for. I'll explore this world before my life is over."
Leena and Tasar looked at Lyra and sighed, both shaking their heads negatively. Lyra's comment might have sounded like a woman at the end of her life trying to make the most of the little time she had left. But the truth was that, even though she was the oldest in the house, Lyra had the most vitality left.
"All right. I won't be able to take you with me for long, but I'll guarantee your safety until we find a place for you." Vicente accepted her proposal. "But before that, tell me what you know."
She smiled, confident in his word. "All right. What I do know is that you have questions about the Nine Paths, about how Polaris Realm has lost almost all its connection to Anicane, and you want to find a method that will at least allow your companions on that plane to come here more easily.
I don't know if that's possible, but I do know that apart from you and the parents of these two here, 20 other individuals who were part of or allied with the Elves Tribe had the same purpose. They all had the same profile. They came from the Polaris Realm, and when they succeeded, they left Amae in search of other islands to strengthen themselves and fulfill their
purpose.
The Grand Recorder became curious about these cases throughout his shift and made a habit of documenting the interests of those who come from other planes and intend to leave the island in the first few years after their arrival. That's why I know a lot about cases like yours."
She paused for breath before saying, "Red Enclave really is a good destination if that's what you're considering. But there's an island halfway there that you'll find even more interesting, Vicente Fuller."
