A large and very popular spa and bath house within Myriamor. Owned by a crocodile demi-human couple named Hatasu and Turbo along with their eight children. They have separate areas for men and women to bathe in, but other areas are considered communal areas. The sauna, massage, and other pampering stations are open to both men and women alike. You can get a relaxing massage, a lovely facial, and even get your nails and hair done here as well. To top it all off they make sure all of their prices are very affordable and this is why most choose to visit The Sapphire Oasis.

After Mika had left Slick and Kuroi the day before she did end up going back to the inn and resting, but not before making an appointment at the Sapphire Oasis Spa and Bath House. She knew she’d be meeting with Princess Rosaria the next day and after travel and the events at the bar in Roshmi she needed the spa day. She also didn’t know when she’d get a chance to go pamper herself again after this especially with the decree that was made last night by the twins. They were finally acknowledging the presence of humans in this world and they were starting to do something about it. Bounty hunters would start popping up soon and it was a matter of time before her group came across one. She just hoped Slick realized the severity of the situation. She’d have to paint it out clearer to him later.

She’d also spent some time yesterday to ask around about the orcs of Dugmahord and how to maybe get in contact with their chief. Her efforts were rather fruitless, unfortunately, and it frustrated her. She did learn it would likely be more dangerous to go without an escort, but if she couldn’t find said escort then she may just need to take that risk. If she could form an alliance with the orcs there it would be a major win. The strength of the orcs was one well known and feared by many. If she had that on her side she might stand a chance reclaiming her city and helping them get that much closer to winning this war.

How was her city faring? The twins had successfully taken Roshmi over, that news made it to her last night as well. Her father actually handed the city over, the coward. It made her blood boil and it took everything in her to keep from storming back to the city and challenging the twins. Of course she knew if she did that she wouldn’t stand much of a chance. There were also rumors of the arrival of the twins to the city and the ease of them killing opposers. While she wanted to destroy them, she needed patience. Strike from the shadows where she could. [color=CC3366][i]Beware the fury of a patient woman.[/i][/color] She would take back her throne and free her people in time, this was the promise she made to herself and her people.

All these thoughts were going through her mind as she tried to relax in the sauna room and the stress of it all must have shown on her face as a little elderly mouse woman scooted closer to her. [color=CBA4DC]”You looked troubled, deary. Is everything alright?”[/color] Mika blinked as she looked at the woman, taking a moment to comprehend her words. Finally she gave the woman a kind smile and began nodding.

[color=CC3366]”Oh yes, I’ll be okay I promise.”[/color] She told the woman sweetly, but this didn’t seem to be good enough for her. [color=CBA4DC]”Oh come now deary, tell old Laverne what troubles you. Perhaps this wise old woman can ease your mind.”[/color] Mika almost laughed, but she supposed it wouldn’t hurt to lay some of her troubles on this woman. She obviously didn’t have to go into detail, but perhaps it would help to get some things off of her chest.

[color=CC3366]”I’ve just had a lot happen these last few days, as I’m sure a lot of us have. I’ve lost someone close to me, lost my home, and now I face some large decisions and I truly don’t know if I’m ready for them. I keep telling myself that the decisions I’ve made so far are necessary, but there’s a part of me that wonders…no, knows that it’s also because I wanted to run. I didn’t think I was ready for the responsibility that was about to be thrust upon me so I ran.”[/color] Her voice broke ever so slightly as she finally voiced what she was truly feeling. She was partially running from her responsibility, from the fact that she was now heir to the throne. Even though her father was handing Roshmi over it didn’t change the fact that she was the rightful heir to the throne now. That thought terrified her more than she realized.

The woman took Mika’s hand and it was enough to pull her back out of her thoughts again. She looked down at their hands before looking back up to the woman's face. [color=CBA4DC]”Remember when you take responsibility for yourself you’ll immediately gain power to achieve your greatest potential.”[/color] The woman patted Mika’s hand before standing up. [color=CBA4DC]”Don’t stress too much deary, I’m sure you’ll make good choices. It was lovely meeting you.”[/color] The woman began to leave and Mika thanked her, but then she thought of something to ask on the off chance the woman might have some information.

[color=CC3366]”Oh! I’m so sorry, but you wouldn’t by chance know anyone that could escort me to Dugmahord?”[/color] She knew it was a slim chance, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask. When the woman told her she didn’t, Mika thanked her and sighed as she slumped back against the wall.
