The Mira/Rima story is incredibly off. I would even say poorly executed.
First Mira warns you to not sign a "harmless magically enforced NDA (via blood contract)" with their father.
Then they ask you to get them a poison that will cripple them. because self crippling is "the only way they can ever escape their abusive father". Their plan is
step 1. poison to self cripple
step 2. get discarded by abusive father because they are useless cripple
step 3. finally be free
Then you find out this incredibly obscure poison is actually NOT a method of crippling but rather a method of death.
As in, in all of history only 1 person ever survived taking it, everyone else died.
Everyone declares "we must accept their choice".
This assumes the girls KNOW that it is actually fatal poison not a crippling poison (you didn't until talking to an expert), and also ridiculous because when someone is suicidal the first thing to do is try to listen to their problems and or therapy rather than immediately jumping to assisted suicide.
Except in this case their reason is that they are being imprisoned and abused by their father and LITERALLY EXPLICITLY tell you the only reason they want to poison themselves is so they can ESCAPE from him. They EXPLICITLY DO NOT want to die. They HOPE they survive, and are solely using this poison as a means of escaping the abusive father.
Instead of poisoning them you should be looking into methods of helping them escape their father.
Then they become the 2nd and 3rd people to ever survive drinking this poison in history of ever because their power level is above that of a god.
But it didn't cripple them because they are too powerful (even though it could cripple a god successfully).
So one of them commits suicide to cripple her sister. But for some reason it causes them to merge into one body which is healed of all impairments (one was blind and the other mute), except being magically crippled.
Then they immediately decide to come sleep over at Nefari's place (although its phrased like they are moving in. they are only coming over for a night). Then just "hit the road" the next day.
Did everyone completely forget the critically important phase of the plan where their father needs to first find out that they are crippled and discard them BEFORE they can escape him?
If they can just up and leave and come with you without even informing their father, why do they need to cripple/suicide first?
Is their father controlling THEM via blood contract? If so, why are you not first looking into methods of breaking those? why are the able to just ignore the blood contract after the crippling?
Also, I am shocked nobody thought to call mythic police in such a blatant case of false imprisonment.
Or if mythics are lawless, to just kill the father instead.
I understand the idea behind this plotline, the execution is just atrociously poor though.
