Harry Potter: The Last Exodus

Settling in Eldoria

The morning sun warmed the grounds outside Harry's mansion in Eldoria, casting a glow over the central meeting tent where the UK community had gathered. With the other groups dispersed to their own continents, the question loomed—should they stay here in Eldoria, the heart of Mirithis, or set out to establish their own homeland?

Harry looked around at the familiar faces, each person considering the question that had been circulating quietly among them. As he stepped forward to start the discussion, he could feel the anticipation in the air.

"Alright, everyone," Harry began, "I know many of you are wondering if Eldoria is meant to be our permanent home, or if we should start a journey of our own to establish a separate UK community continent. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this."

Hermione nodded, and she was the first to speak up. "I think we need to ask ourselves what our goal is here in Mirithis. Eldoria is special because it's the heart of this world, a place where each community can come together. By staying here, we're part of something larger and connected."

"But wouldn't we also be stronger if we built our own identity here?" Ginny asked, glancing around the room. "I mean, look at the other communities—they're establishing their own territories, their own cultures within Mirithis. Shouldn't we do the same?"

Molly Weasley raised her hand gently, her voice thoughtful. "You know, dear, I think there's wisdom in waiting. We've seen so many changes since arriving here, and Mirithis still holds a lot of mystery. Eldoria has everything we need for now. Perhaps if we stay, we'll gain a better understanding of what's really needed, should we decide to build something new."

Justin Finch-Fletchley chimed in, looking pensive. "And staying in Eldoria keeps us connected. If we're going to have a presence here in Mirithis, we could learn so much from the other groups as they come through. It might give us insight into where our place really is."

Daphne Greengrass leaned forward, her brow furrowed. "But won't we always be a bit rootless if we don't establish our own land? Isn't there something to be said for putting down new roots?"

Ron shifted uncomfortably. "Look, I'm all for a bit of adventure, but Eldoria feels like home to me. We've got what we need right here. Why rush to start over?"

Arthur, who had been listening intently, finally spoke. "Mirithis is a world in progress, and we're still learning how it all works. By staying in Eldoria, we're in a position to contribute to the development of this entire world. We can help influence the balance and relationships between different communities."

Minerva McGonagall nodded in agreement. "And let's not forget, as Arthur says, that Eldoria is neutral ground. We are leaders in the central government and it's important for us to stay connected here, to understand what each community is experiencing."

Harry could see the growing agreement, but he wanted everyone to be certain. "If we stay, we're committing to being at the center of things. Eldoria will always be a gathering place, and we'll need to be prepared for the responsibility of helping lead. Are we ready to take that on?"

After a pause, Hermione spoke with a decisive nod. "I think we are. We're building the foundation of Mirithis, not just for ourselves but for every group that arrives here. That's a responsibility worth taking."

One by one, each person in the room began nodding, their doubts settling into a sense of purpose and unity. Eldoria was more than just a place to live; it was the heart of their new world.

Harry smiled. "So, it's decided. We'll stay in Eldoria, at least for now. This is our home." The group murmured in agreement, a new energy filling the room as they felt the importance of their decision.

As the meeting came to a close, the UK community left with a renewed commitment to their role in Mirithis, ready to build their future right here in Eldoria.
