Chapter 50 - Divine Rings

Two pairs of tiny little steps sounded out from the hallway, together with children's laughter. They burst through the door to the living room with tiny wooden swords in their hands.

“Mommy! Laise found a froggy!” the red-haired boy announced, pointing at his companion.

Lilly furr...

Chapter 49 - Second Date

The two girls were walking side by side down one of the many familiar streets of Thundrel in silence. Their hands were intertwined, both wearing rings that shimmered beautifully in the evening lights.

Lilly wore the same dress she had been wearing last time, the red one that once belonged t...

Chapter 48 - Bennu

Thundrel looked exactly the same as it did before Lilly left, only covered by the dark of night. The glowing crystals normally illuminating the roads were dimmed, giving the city time to sleep.

Lilly descended right next to Eolande’s home and greeted the two guards taking the night shift....

Chapter 47 - The Divine

Lilly flew through the air on her way back to Stort City. Everything that had happened in Dortfell still felt unreal, but she knew it wasn’t. The ruby in her pocket told her that much.

She had received some unique clothes that were slightly too loose for her, but she preferred that over h...

Chapter 46 - Circle

Goddon studied the dent in the slab of dragon steel with an expression of intrigue mixed with annoyance. “Ahh, this will take some effort to fix. Ignus isn’t very fond of repairing stuff… Perhaps I should have enchanted it after all.”

Lilly was curious about who Ignus might be but h...

Chapter 45 - Phoenix and Titan

A solid granite slab floated up from the hole in the floor Lilly had created as she entered the room and landed in front of the throne. It slowly morphed into a square table perfectly suited for arm wrestling.

Goddon rose from his newly created throne and approached it, removing the robe on...

Chapter 44 - Throne of Rock

Lilly was disappointed that her attack had been stopped, but she didn’t get the feeling of being outclassed. The defensive maneuvers to save the king had only narrowly managed to save his life.

She considered the words of the old demigod carefully, deciding to stop her attack momentarily....

Chapter 43 - Chain of Command

The castle approached at a terrifying speed, but Lilly felt prepared. Her momentum and force should be able to penetrate any barrier trying to stop her, so she simply kept the target in her sight and kept accelerating.

A crash could be heard as some invisible force attempted to stop her, bu...

Chapter 42 - The Hero’s Journey

Lilly felt her heart pounding in her chest. Even the planned attack tonight had made her nervous, now she was expected to end this war on her own?

“I… But…” 

Her words failed her. Of everyone in the room, she felt like she was by far the least fitting for such a task. Thr...

Chapter 41 - Mass Destruction

Hearing that Selene was in mortal danger, Lilly didn’t care about the rest of Rantas’ words. “Where is she now?” she asked, as controlled and concise as she was able to.

“The infirm–” was all Rantas managed to say before Lilly flew directly out of the window, breaking the glas...

Chapter 40 - Return of the Army

Lilly found her way to where the army was returning with a worried heart. She had faith in her friends, but she knew nothing was certain in war.

Her first sight as she arrived, looking from between the citizens cheering for their return, was of a tired Dahn leading the battered soldiers wit...

Chapter 39 - A Long Way

The door to her room opened, revealing a tired-looking Eldrin. He had always looked tired, but never to this extent, as far as Lilly knew. He seemed to be in good spirits, though, smiling warmly despite the circumstances.

“Lilly, it’s good to see you again. I was wondering–”

H...

Chapter 38 - Goddon

‘No. No, no, no, no. I really don’t want that to be the case.’

Lilly immediately understood what the book contained; information about the demigod from the Skyloft Mountains. The son of the Divine Titan.

Roald must have noticed her worried expression. “You’ve already heard o...

Chapter 37 - Stort City

Lilly and Dahn exited the teleportation gate in Stort, one of the cities closest to the border. It had been used for several defensive battles already but still stood proud.

“Here we are! Let’s go find the general stationed here,” Dahn said, walking ahead out of the room they had arri...

Chapter 36 - On the Western Front

Holtar glanced to his female advisor when the subject turned to the war. “Fria, you’ve got a better understanding of the current situation than me. Tell them the situation.”

The blue-robed lady nodded and walked a few steps forward. “We are currently holding them back by fortifying ...

Chapter 35 - Dahn

The dignified elf was sitting in nothing but rags, stripped of his enchanted items and armor. But it was easy to see he was a warrior. His body was incredibly athletic, with muscles that seemed like they could pry these bars open on their own. He was more rugged than any other elf Lilly had seen,...

Chapter 34 - Fallen Crown

As she sat there on the charred stone floor, only covered by a blanket and holding around Eolande, Lilly sent a furious and tear-filled look toward the king.

King Holtar sat with his hand covering his forehead, looking defeated. He noticed Lilly’s stare and sighed heavily.

He left t...

Chapter 33 - Royal Audience

The king was not alone in the room– he had two older looking people there as well that Lilly assumed were advisors. One man and one woman, both a decade or two older than the king.

Lilly stood still, wondering if she should start speaking about the letter or if she should wait. She didn�...

Chapter 32 - Royal Castle

The magnificent royal castle was visible for most of Lilly’s trip through the city, giving a sense of anticipation to all its visitors. Great spires and halls of white stone, decorated by large windows and flying buttresses, could be seen from all angles.

Lilly had never seen anything qui...

Chapter 31 - Eldhaven

After rushing back home to get ready for the trip to the capital, Eldhaven, Lilly found Mia trying to put a hat on Beak’s head. She looked surprised to see Lilly and quickly hid the hat behind her back.

“Lilly! Back already? How did it go?”

Lilly was in a bit of a hurry to get g...

Chapter 30 - Dining Hall

Looking at the finished letter, Lilly found the dichotomy between the flowery language and the ineligible handwriting to be quite poignant.

Her hand was still holding around Adelia as she wrote, in the hope that it gave her some strength.

“What do you think?” Adelia asked, turning...

Chapter 29 - Royal Letter

A few minutes later, some guards had arrived and put chains on Victor before bringing his personal guards to the dungeons for imprisonment.

Now the three of them, Lilly, Adelia, and Victor, were sitting on the two couches while Claude was standing behind Adelia.

Adelia looked pale, ev...

Chapter 28 - Hostile

Lilly felt her skin start crawling the moment she realized how Adelia had learned the supposed truth. The scale had been flipped in her mind, making the doubt heavier than the trust. Cold sweat ran down her back, and her hands started trembling.

‘Is that why she left? Because I would be l...

Chapter 27 - Coincidences

The next morning, Lilly was headed for the barracks. She had been notified earlier that day that Victor had finished most of his investigations and that he wanted to speak to her again.

‘I really hope he’s sensible enough to get to the truth, and not twist it in his favor,’ Lilly thou...

Chapter 26 - Experience in Love

Lilly poured the tea into each of the cups before sitting down on the couch next to Mia. “I’m a bit surprised you didn’t bring Claude with you today.”

Adelia seemed slightly uncomfortable with the subject, biting her lip once the question was asked. “Yeah, I’ve… I think we nee...

Chapter 25 - Royal Visitor

Mia still hadn’t returned when Lilly came back to the house, so she started baking for the evening. Her culinary skills hadn’t deteriorated much, but she still felt nervous baking for a princess.

‘I hope she’ll be able to genuinely compliment my cake, or at least that she doesn’t ...

Chapter 24 - Invitation

Lilly heard the worry in Eolande’s voice, thicker than ever before. “What happened? Is the general in danger?”

Eolande nodded rapidly. “This amulet lets us know a few things about the other wearer. It’s a rare enchantment from the– No, I really have to go, Lilly! I have to help ...

Chapter 23 - Red Amulet

The day passed without any more enchanting, and so did the night. After a good night’s sleep,  Lilly woke up feeling fresh, but the exhaustion of the day before still weighed on her mind.

‘I can’t limit myself to only making a few enchantments a month, so I’ll have to deal with...

Chapter 22 - Strong like the Wind

Lilly stared nervously at Mia, who was busy putting on the finished cuirass. It had taken her a lot of effort to finish, even requiring the violet crystal in the end. 

Lilly felt her nerves needed at least a few hours of rest before she could work on the last two enchantments, and she ...

Chapter 21 - Test Subject

Mia was moving around slowly, looking frustrated. “Damn, this steelwood is really hard to move in,” she said slowly, needing time to pronounce every word. 

Lilly thought Mia looked funny, but she was slightly worried for her heart. “You need to tell me if you feel sick. It should...
