Goddess Illyia replied, "No, the Purelands are my country, and this country is very neutral in its affairs. There is an empty seat in one of the nations where the so-called seventh Goddess lies. We don't know where that Goddess is, though. We hope to find her soon."
Ethan then asked, "Your country? So there are other people that I could meet?"
Goddess Illyia replied, "Yes, there are other people you could meet. I could take you to the capital city if you want."
Ethan said, "Yes, please! Take me to the city!"
Goddess Illyia responded, "Alright then! When we get there, I will take you to a special little place of mine."
Goddess Illyia then used her teleportation magic to transport them instantly from one place to another.
[Later...]
[Purlinda.]
They arrived at Purlinda, the capital city of the Purelands. Purlinda's cityscape could only be described as absolutely beautiful, hosting many waterfalls, tall buildings, and other fancy things typical of a fantasy town. Interestingly, it seemed like this country had developed advanced technology similar to Ethan's world. Goddess Illyia took him to a local shop, and they walked in.
[Shop...]
As they entered the shop, Goddess Illyia introduced Ethan to all the people inside. The locals were very fond of Goddess Illyia, as she had ruled the country for a very long time. This country was known for being economically prosperous and rich. There was a rich Minum mine within the country. Minum is a rare magical ore that allows the processing of magical trans (magical power similar to superpowered electricity). Goddess Illyia ensured that the amount of minimum being extracted was balanced with what was being exported.
A woman named Catrina walked up and said, "Hello there, Ethan! The Goddess has been expecting you!"
Ethan said, "The Goddess expected me?"
Goddess Illyia responded, "Yes, I knew you would die that day. People like you are going to be useful to our cause. We want to stop all aggression within the EtherDawn."
