After some walking, the clouds had drawn dangerously close dangerously quick. Everyone seemed to be going for cover, or pulling out umbrellas...but the umbrellas looked like they were made with both advanced technology, and also enchanted. The King and his forces seemed to be a bit concerned, but when they reached the Governance Palace and entered they were a lot better.

"To think, Magus Weather again this day...it must be getting near a period of intensity".

After he said that, they then led the group towards a large meeting room. Zakar then told the servants to bring some drinks.

"So, shall we get started then? Welcome to the planet of Origin, this is our home Hayslem City. What brings you here? Could it be, you may be searching for refugees from your nation or something? I know with the recent wars, the number of refugees has been going up coming to our planet, who refuses to get involved with those intergalactic scruffles".

Indeed, on the way there, many refugees from all sorts of races could be seen...but they did not appear to be in poverty or need, and many were entering apartment buildings that had appeared to receive renovations recently.

Zakar meanwhile looked out the window. "Just as we thought...it was an intense dissolving rain".

Dissolving rain. One of the strange types of weathers that occur on Origin. Although most of the weathers held no actual magic in them, they did get influenced by the mana in the air and could produce strange effects. Dissolving rain was pretty bad. Although hard objects, like stone, wood, and even the special, albeit not flexible of comfortable, cloth they used for banners and covers could sort of resist it, it would bypass any barriers for some reason, even magic ones unless heavily reinforced, and dissolve anything "soft"...and not just clothing, but after clothing it would be skin, tissue, and eventually internal organs. Thankfully, it dried off incredibly quickly, and no floods had ever even been possible, but still. Furthermore, it could burn even if blocked by armor by its reaction of being absorbed, so it was generally unpleasant. Those umbrellas were one of the few designed things people could use.

The more intense, the worse it would get.
