After Noah reinforced the barrier and thoroughly investigated the surrounding area of the magical eruption, he explained the situation to Faraz. By the time Claudia and Noah had completed their investigation, the eastern sky had begun to lighten with the approach of dawn.

“That stagnant magic is, without a doubt, the result of a curse,” Claudia murmured as she stretched out on her bed upon returning to the royal chambers.

Noah sat beside her at her insistence.

“It is most likely a magic that transforms all it touches into gold,” she continued, clutching Noah’s pillow tightly against her chest. “And yet, neither when we first came to this land nor now do I sense its vile presence anywhere.”

As Claudia mumbled her thoughts, Noah silently pulled the covers up to her shoulders. Then, as though completing her unspoken thoughts, he said, “You once explained to me, Your Highness, that currents of magical energy exist within the earth, the seas, and the natural world, aligning with the paths of ley lines and ocean currents. But this magic...”

“Yes, it didn’t feel like part of some great natural cycle. It is as though it swirled unnaturally, as if the ley lines themselves had been deliberately distorted. Regrettably, the time we had to observe it was too brief.”

Nevertheless, Noah’s immediate response—erecting a barrier to contain the magic—had undoubtedly been the most prudent course of action.

The enormous body of the firedrake had served as a convenient shield, but had Noah been exposed to the surging magic directly, his body, too, might have turned to gold.

Magical beasts of great power such as the firedrake were often drawn to places where magic accumulated in great concentrations. The beast likely followed the dense magical energy during its flight over the desert.

“Even so,” Claudia said, puffing out her cheeks in playful reproach as she looked up at her loyal and courageous attendant, “you noticed something was amiss almost immediately after you teleported to the dragon, didn’t you?”

“I determined it was urgent to subdue the firedrake first,” Noah replied calmly. “I had already sensed that something was stirring beneath the sands, so I chose to bring the dragon down in such a way that its body would act as a seal over the source.”

He stated this matter-of-factly, as though it were no great feat, but the battle must have been truly perilous. Instead of scolding him for his recklessness, Claudia chose to punish him in her own way.

“I’ve mussed my hair while rolling about. You shall fix it for me using your own hands.”

“Your Highness,” Noah protested.

“Until I tell you to stop. Now, be quick about it.”

At her command, punctuated by her gentle tug at his sleeve, Noah sighed quietly before extending his hand. His fingers slid through Claudia’s hair, scattered across the sheets, and began smoothing her locks with practiced care.

“And don’t forget to request that Faraz review the findings with the conjurers who examined the barrier,” Claudia instructed as she rolled onto her side to face Noah. “There were creatures other than the firedrake turned to gold within.
