Main Street

You said you weren't related to Lilia by blood, and that there was no other reason for him to be responsible for you. But I imagine Lilia feels much the same way. |
 |
...What? |
|
Human lives are incredibly brief compared to those of the fae. Perhaps he believes you shouldn't have to spend part of your fleeting human life looking after a feeble old man. |

Father... Why...? |
|
...... There's something my Grandmother has often talked to me about. It's the reason why our family, with our draconic lineage, is so exceptionally powerful even among the nocturnal fae. She said it's to ensure that nothing ever diminishes the happiness of our people in Briar Valley. Yet here I am, incapable of dispelling the sorrows of father and son alike. What good does all this magic do me? ...I'm completely powerless. |

Flashback End
|
Yes... Of course. Of course! That's it! Haha...Hahahahahahaha! How did I miss something so very simple? I have it. I know what to gift Lilia. |
|
Malleus...? |
|
Come, Silver. Let us go see him. |
|
Huh? Whoa! |
