[At first there's nothing but the view of a horse's neck, nodding as it walks, and the mountain trail ahead, along with the steady crunch of hooves in the snow. The communicator seems to have been turned on unintentionally, since nothing interesting happens for a while. That is, until they reach a cliff providing a better view. In the distance, the

[ Joluk is in the same world, but in a slightly different part. It's his job to tend to the horses.]

This world has some similarities to my home too, at least the Hun part.

I haven't seen anything like that egg before.

[ He was there for the Pokémon event but he never saw any eggs.]

This is the only world I've seen so far resembling mine. [Especially the imperial palace. It's almost like the Royal Palace of Ba Sing Se, but has some Fire Nation characteristics too.] What's a 'Hun'?

...Oh. [He looks disappointed. Not one person so far has any idea what the egg could be.] Thanks anyway.

This world has two nations. You're in the Chinese part. The Huns are their enemies.

If they're anything like the Mongols in my world, they're probably mostly nomadic herdsmen and hunters.

So they're at war? Shouldn't they be worrying more about the Heartless and less about each other?

I heard the Huns have managed to get some Heartless to work for them. At least the Chinese soldiers tend to fight more Heartless than people.

That's crazy! Why would Heartless and people ever work together?

[filchedfruit]

[ He shrugs.]

Beats me.

Maybe some people think they can control the Heartless?

[ He agrees that it's crazy.]

[restorehonour]

But the Heartless are the ones responsible for our worlds vanishing in the first place! No one in their right minds would think to use them.

I don't get it, myself.
I certainly wouldn't want something that could suck my heart out as an ally. No amount of land is worth that.

[restorehonour]

All the power in the world wouldn't be worth that. The Heartless don't care about our wars at all; they just wipe out everything.

[filchedfruit]

It's not like they'll have anything left to conquer with the Heartless.

[restorehonour]

...Maybe that's the point.

[His father and sister wanted to destroy everything in order to conquer it, after all... Everything except the Fire Nation. In that light, the aims of war and the aims of Heartless go hand-in-hand.]

[filchedfruit]

That's...

[ It's horrifying and it doesn't make sense to him, but he understands. He wouldn't be surprised if the Russians pulled similar tactics.]

that kinda thing seems to happen in all the worlds.

[restorehonour]

It would be nice to think there are worlds out there without war, but...

[But, realistically, he's not sure he believes it. His own world had finally pulled out of a century-long war, the Land of Dragons is at war... And every world right now is effectively in an ongoing war against the darkness. So much for the era of love and peace he'd promised his own people.]

I guess people are the same everywhere. Maybe that's what attracted the Heartless.
