The First Cured Demon

It had been days since I sent the black pearl to Reinar and Melina for research, and we had managed to capture two more enemy camps in the desert, along with more beastkins that Vespera and I healed at night.

During that time, the prince of the Droman Empire solved the mystery of the missing letters at the same time that the prince of Aridonia found the problem himself.

It turned out that the secretaries tasked with sending and receiving the letters were cursed, and if they didn't intercept or change the messages that the rulers were trying to send each other, they would die along with their families.

We sent them both some holy panaceas to heal them and let their nations deal with the punishment.

One day, we had captured one of the enemy camps, and I received a message from Melina, who had been researching the black pearl with Reinar and told me that it was made with a material called starstone that could only be found in Kalusia.
