When they finally catch up with the giant snake it lies exhausted, its mouth forced wide open by a giant magic mirror. Aria tries talking to it, but the poor thing can only think of how tired and hurt and hungry it is. So they try to remove the mirror as gently as they can, Aria opening the snake's mouth just a little further while Tora tries to push the mirror out sideways, but her grip slips and they touch the reflective surface and -
These aren't exactly dinosaurs. They're horned, partially covered in what seems like white stone, and their eyes are very human. There's people gathered in a sort of saddle on their backs, and they're calmly walking along the road.
Tribbie is there, standing next to a white-haired man holding a sword and looking around.
"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Phainon from Aedes Elysiae, and you've met Tribbie already."
"Hello." Her second Beastspeak of the day on Tora, this seems like a good time to use it. What magic can she see about Phainon and the horned people?
What a nice person, who talks to dire tigers when he meets them instead of assuming they're dumb animals!
...although here there may be no animals left. That is so terribly depressing. (Are the horned ones animals? She doesn't know their kind.)
"It's nice to meet you too! We were hoping to talk to people on the way to Okhema, but when we realized the land was so - desolate, empty except for plants - we came back to the road to meet you."
(Phainon won't understand her unless he has translation magic of his own.)
"I could prepare another Share Language like I gave Tribbie," Aria offers, "so that you can understand Tora, but only one more today and I don't know which of you to give it to. Or I could translate for her." (She does this.)
His clothes and sword are magical, in slightly less layers than Tribbie, but still a lot of separate auras.
The mounts don't have magic on them.
"The world has been approaching its end for a long time now. You probably won't meet anyone in the wilds who it would be a good idea to talk to."
"We can be the ones translating for everyone. We've been translating for the titans for a long time, and this is no harder!"
"Then we will walk with you to Okhema, if it is agreeable." Hopefully they won't be the first to tire, she needs an hour to prepare new spells with more Lesser Restorations. She can keep up in the air, or just perch on someone as a little bird, but that would exclude Tora from the conversation.
"Of course you can walk with us! You're probably too big to climb onto the dromas though..."
