I'm a Cetra. We have a stronger connection to the planet than a human would, and we can interact with the lifestream. They wanted to know how they could use that to their advantage.
More like… to find a way to keep using the planet’s energy even if it’s all dried up. To get what they want with no consequences. They’re not gonna find a loophole, though. When the planet dies, so will they.

[He takes out his magic pen, the green gemstone fitted into it glittering in the light.]
Meanwhile, the flowers were made of a material called Mysterium - a metal that can be manipulated with magic. Both were plentiful in Briarland, so people really went wild with the designs.
A long, long time ago, humans discovered the wealth of materials available in our lands. And so, despite our every attempt to prevent it, they came and took the land for themselves.
Not just our home. Our queen and her consort, as well.
It was a complete and utter loss. [And, with a soft laugh:] I may have formerly acted as general, but officially, I have no titles. There is no mention of any "Lilia Vanrouge" in my nation's textbooks, either.
But it's likely for the best. Slowly but surely, humans and fae are learning to exist in the same lands together. So, at the very least, our world isn't under as much a threat as yours.
[Humans come and go so quickly... so long as the fae don't mention it, their human counterparts have no knowledge of the war their kind once waged against their current neighbors.
If it means keeping that peace, Lilia is content with being forgotten by history.]

[ Her smile turns a little sad, though, given the topic of their conversation. ]
Does anything like that still exist back home?

To have lost your home like that… I can’t even imagine.
