What if, in theory, we propose peace, to get the kelpies to lower their guard? I have considered this idea years before, but frankly, there poses some merit.

After all, they have to be just as tired of fighting this war as we are. It doesn’t matter how hardened they are. Our interrogators have found out that although kelpies tend to be quite stoic, they just need the right… motivation in order to speak to them… crack like melting ice so to speak.

And Tethys can’t really pass up this opportunity. Obviously she wouldn’t trust us at first. Tethys is far too smart for that, but we really can’t pass up this opportunity either. We need to learn how kelpies live now, how their society is structured, basic things like this, in order to understand their mentality.

Admittedly, only I and some of my most skilled hydromancers can visit their homes, which I suspect are buried in caves on the deep sea floor, but we need the opportunity to do so.

So a ceasefire… could go well, if say the kelpies are amenable to actually submitting under my rule and … okay, starving until I can find a solution for their condition, then all the better. If not, then… we can retaliate when they are off guard and wipe them off the face of the earth.
