The next afternoon, the train arrived on schedule in the eastern, or “forest,” capital, the linchpin of the kingdom’s eastern territories. The air was clean, and the weather, fine.

I led the charge onto the wooden platform. A sparse crowd of other passengers walked off toward the station building while I levitated our party’s luggage out after me. That done, I offered my hand to the scarlet-haired noblewoman hampered by her hat and dress. Despite reverting to her usual attire that very morning, she had changed for the occasion.

“Lady Lily, if I may?”

“Why, of course, Allen. This job has its perks!” She giggled and gently took my hand, descending onto the platform. The Great Tree, symbol of the city, towered behind her. A flock of sea-green griffins winged through the air.

Oh, it feels good to be home!

While I waxed sentimental, Kifune clambered onto my right shoulder and let out a meow.

Whoops. That’s enough of that. I’m not here on vacation.

While I searched for our welcome, Tina disembarked wearing her Royal Academy uniform, complete with beret, and carrying her rod slung on her back. Rill came with her, dressed in a borrowed set of Tina’s everyday wear. The pair took up positions on either side of me as though nothing could be more natural.

“Oh-ho,” Rill was saying. “So, you use a glass conservatory to grow fruits, vegetables, and other flora even in your snowy home. You have a good head on your shoulders, even if you are small for your age. Compared to Stella—”

“Leave my height out of this! Anyway, you’re even shorter than I am!” Tina snapped. “And don’t think I didn’t see how you snagged the seat next to Mr. Allen at breakfast!”

“You’ve quite a tongue too,” Rill scoffed. “It feels like eons since anyone has dared find fault with me.”

They had already become fast friends. Tina had always had a good heart, and despite Rill’s antiquated speech and odd familiarity with historical details, she didn’t seem a bad sort either. I’d enjoyed the legends she’d shared with us yesterday, about the “wyrms” that had inhabited Lalannoy in the distant past. Her digressions about the great spells had also piqued my interest. “The Hero’s Thunderbolt came first,” she had said. “Resurrection, I know not. The great spell of fire sleeps in Lalannoy. That of earth was hidden. Wind, the Dark Lord keeps. There is no great spell of ice—it would violate the Star Oath.”

The whereabouts of Blaze of Ruin, Quake Array, and Dividing Wind came as news to me, but I had no way to confirm them. I couldn’t explain why Rill hadn’t tripped my detection spells either.

Really, who on earth is she? She had a ticket, and even a spare for Kifune, but... Hmm.

I pondered the question while I helped Stella, also dressed in her school uniform, down onto the platform. Just then, I heard running feet, and a familiar voice cried, “Allen!”

I broke into a grin as I spotted a tall, handsome young man dressed for sorcery, with a pale-violet streak toward the front of his light-blond hair.
