New Beginnings

Soon, we were back at the palace.

Lumera was already removing the broken wand tattoos from what remained of the Anti-Magic Mages, firing laser-like beams with focused precision.

Devran was lining them up like a military officer with a personal vendetta.

As the doors swung open, the shadows I once used to guard the palace slithered back into their corners.

The palace workers bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesties," they chorused. "Thank you for your grace."

I nodded, though my gaze drifted to the courtroom—scorched ceiling, broken artwork, a missing chair.

It looked like a dragon had hosted a dinner party in here.

I smirked.

"Yeah... we should look into that," Scarlette said beside me, grinning.

"And we should also build a space for training," I added.

"And how do you propose we do that?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

But I was already on it.
