WAS she always this small?

I had just met with my mother for the first time in years, and she was smaller than I remembered, or maybe thinner.

It had been ten years since my mother, unable to adjust to life in the capital, had escaped back to the more familiar territory where she had once lived. The last time I had seen her had been eight years ago, and only for a brief moment. It had also been around a year since I had stopped sending cards, which we would often send two or three times a year until then.

I knew why she had distanced herself, and time had passed as I tried to figure out a better way of going about it. So it wasn’t that strange when I received a letter, not from my mother, but from the doctor, sent to my boss.

“This arrived yesterday,” my boss—the prime minister—had said, as he’d handed me a letter from Dr. Reynolds, who had previously worked in the Royal Palace as head doctor.

A Spirit Caller had appeared…in the back garden of my mother’s home.

She had grievous, near-fatal wounds, but the doctor had managed to save her life, and she was now receiving care at my mother’s house. The doctor closed the letter by saying that more details would follow, and that he would explain during a future visit to the Royal Palace.

“Is this…true?” I asked.

“There’s no reason for Reynolds to lie. Not to mention that it’s a confirmed fact that a Spirit appeared in the Royal Capital Forest,” the prime minister said.

That’s true. It was difficult to believe, but it was true.

A Spirit, which rarely ever appeared on this continent, and a Spirit Caller. There had been no record of either for over two hundred years.

Spirits looked after the world. Their appearance was a blessing from the heavens. They would protect us from natural disasters and ensure that we had bountiful harvests. If we acted recklessly and angered the Spirits, they would hide themselves away and the region would fall into disaster.

They could have fallen into the same category as myths or fairy tales, but Spirits really would appear. There were even records of a country falling to disaster several hundred years ago due to a volcano’s sudden eruption. Suddenly, fire and lava had begun to spurt out of the grounds of the royal palace, and that country had been wiped off the map overnight.

Last year, a Spirit had appeared in the old ruins of the previous dynasty. The Magic Academy, which had jurisdiction over the area, had tried a variety of things to work with the Spirit or research its presence, but as expected, they were unable to do anything. Then the Spirit Caller had appeared—which was no doubt very important and required a special reception.

“This is for after Reynolds arrives, but if he says the Spirit Caller is unable to move, we’ll have to send someone to the village from here. Consider working with the Magic Academy on this matter,” the prime minister had said.
