Chapter 198: Griffonpeak.
Pardon me, would it be possible for you to fly around the city for a tour? Eine opened a small window in front of the carriage, asking the coachman for a sudden change in ns.
A tour? Madam, the pce has ordered us to fly the carriage directly to the instructed address. Changing it would be inconvenient, especially for the griffon.
Our carriage wasnt driving on the ground, on the contrary, we were flying through the sky inside it while a griffon was carrying it through the sky. At first, I thought it would be a bit too heavy for a griffon to carry around, no matter how strong they were, but I vastly underestimated them. The ride was as stable as flying in an airne.
Two people were driving the carriage the coachman was responsible for rying the wishes of the passengers to the griffon rider. Griffons were supposedly intelligent enough to act without a rider, but since having a rider prevented any incident of the griffon panicking and dropping the carriage, riders were a necessity. Speaking of intelligence, I think the griffon also gave me the stink eye when it saw me, simr to how Count Helvass griffon and Sir Antonios hippogryph had behaved. These birdbrains dont like dragonewts, apparently, well, I guess they wouldnt like all types of dragonkin.
After Eine gave the excuse that I was a VIP foreign noble, the coachman relented and moved ording to Eines n. Considering how pushy she was, I wondered if she was alright or not. Before we talked, she activated what seemed to be a silence rune, meant to prevent sounds from escaping.
Jeez, I thought runes were just a dwarven thing. Its everywhere. I heard enchantments and alchemy were more Artoriass forte since they werent as specialized in runecraft, unlike the dwarves. Eine had a simple exnation for my question.
It is, Hestia. I believe it is incredibly rare to find a human as proficient with runes as dwarves like Master Grimnir. Master Grimnir told me dwarves in general arent very fond of sharing their craftsmanship secrets to the other races, and if they did, they would only teach enough for you to have a basic understanding. I am honestly lucky to have a dwarven master teach me to be a mana engineer, although his notes belong to his deceased cousin Eine gave a small prayer to Aurena and Ilsaphone. Due to their history, the cksmiths in the Groushia Duchy could learn under the tutge of a dwarven master, although the runes they could create are more focused on utility thanbat. Better than nothing, right?
Progress cant be made overnight. While Artorias is at its core still a medieval kingdom, signs of technological advancement are evident with the amount of manatech in use, the sewage systems in Cedaraille and, presumably, Griffonpeak, and their educational level amongst the nobility. The noble districts were usually clean and modern while their mansions and pces, at least for the wealthy nobles, were well equipped and decorated.
Unfortunately, the rest of the city was neglected in favor of the nobles. Even now, looking out of the carriages window, I could see a stark difference between the noble andmoner sides. The difference was like night and day. Still, the generalyout of Griffonpeak was different from Firwood and Cedaraille, and I would need more time to actually see the intricacies.
I was wondering why Eine suddenly asked to give me a tour, but Ill enjoy it first before questioning her. I was interested in sightseeing in Griffonpeak, since it seemed far more interesting to me than Firwood and Cedaraille.
The first destination seemed to be the entrance to themoner district. First of all, the walls of Griffonpeak were huge, something Id noticed when I first flew over them. Both Firwoods and Cedarailles stone walls were nice to see but they were mostly what you would expect from a medieval civilization. Griffonpeaks wererger and thicker, with round za areas where hippogryphs and griffons were resting. Monuments of griffons and arvisian warriors were spread around the wall, boasting to the world of their architectural feats.
Some farms and smaller viges could be seen ced outside Griffonpeak, where I saw peoplemuting from their homes into the city. The walls did tower over the houses by a bit, but that didnt mean the residential houses of the citizens inside the walls were small. In fact, it looked cramped down there.
The streets were filled with people but wide enough to amodate carriages. ording to Eine, most of Griffonpeak was considered the middle district, as the slums were ced outside the city where the viges and farms were, to prevent refugees from the Atadoro Kingdom from entering the city.
Refugees? I asked. There werent any wars going on, so I wondered where these refugees came from, but I forgot wars weren''t the only reason for immigrants.
The Kingdoms of Atadoro and Artorias are like two sides of a coin when ites to two certain policies treatment of beastmen and very. Those unhappy in Atadoro and freed ves usually make their way into the Duchy of Lecartiglio first. If they are unhappy there, they move to Griffonpeak, since its simr to a white ray of hope for the refugees. At least, that is what I learned from the academy. Eine then pointed at the snow-covered tip Griffonpeaks mountain and the white citadel of the royal family. I was already enamored by it under the moonlight, but the citys beauty shined even under the sun.
Shouldnt there be a slum inside the city? Look, that area over there looks more decrepit than the rest of the city. Where there is wealth, there are also those less fortunate. The nobles segregated themselves from themoners by walling off their district from the rest of the city, and the same case applied for well-offmoners and criminally-inclined ones, except they just moved away from those areas instead of walling it off.
Thats Expressing disgust, Eine paused before forcing herself to speak the rest of her sentence. I believe that is the red-light district. I havent visited that area yet; if I had to visit the lower city, I usually stayed around the merchant district. I heard criminals and those who want to leech off our capital live there. I admitw-breakers exist in every facet of society, but these people are urgh.
Setting aside Eines own sense of justice, I do believe we would do best to avoid that area of the city. Hopefully we wont have to go there, but I also didnt know of any reason that could make us go there. Still, for a red-light district, it was smaller than I would have expected, making me wonder if there was an underground area or not. Considering Eine confirmed Griffonpeak had a sewage system for the lower city, it would make sense for there to be people living in the sewers.
Without stopping, the griffon carriage continued the tour, moving us closer to the merchant district. That was when I noticed the biggest difference between thest cities I visited and Griffonpeak. While Firwood and Cedaraille split the noble andmoner districts in two, meaning they had an outside entrance for both, Griffonpeaksyout made it so that the noble district was centered around the pce.
Since Griffonpeaks citadel was built on the mountain, numerous other noble-rted facilities were built on the mountain as well, although on a lower level. For this reason, the noble district was elevated from the lower city, making it literally the upper city walled off from the rest of the city, with only a single pathway connecting the two parts.
Still, the lower citys merchant district was nothing to scoff at. Even Eine, a noble, admitted to visiting it with her former friends and acquaintances, as it was the point ofmerce and culture for many of Griffonpeaks citizens. The upper district was a ce for rxation, education, and home for the nobles while they used the merchant district for shopping, visiting the opera, and temple visits. Since the children of merchants and wealthymoners hanged around here, nobles began to call visiting the lower city flying down to mingle.
Flying down to mingle? Thats so pretentious! I called the statement out.
Y-Yeah, I can agree on that. The royal academy is built on the mountain, above the noble district. Since the grand bridge was broken during the war, we students could only use the flying carriages or our gargoyles to move around the city. Why not fly down for the day? is ng for visiting the lower city, Eine exined. But I suggest we visit the merchant district once we have settled down, Hestia. Unlike Cedaraille or Firwood, it is an area a princess wouldnt need to worry about her safety.
Due to the area bing the downtown for nobles, an order building for the Knights of the Lionheart was built there to act as security. Guards and knights patrolled around the area, making it probably the fourth most secure area in Griffonpeak.
As I said before, this was also where the temple was situated. Right next to the path leading to the upper city, the temple had two entrances meant for nobles andmoners respectively. Designed like a gothic temple and arge enough interior to fit in a lot of worshippers, the temple stood out quite a lotpared to the aesthetic choice of the rest of the merchant district.
Wait, is that a colosseum? I pointed at arge stone arena ced a bit away from the merchant district. Although it was maintained well, a few parts of the colosseum were a different color, as if somebody switched the rocks with new ones. Why are people putting banners and other festive decorations on it? Eine, I didnt know Artorias was into blood sport!
I had seen it before during my first inspection of the city, but I gave it little attention since I was searching for the temple at that time. Eines safety was all I could think about back then. Now that I saw the colosseum again, I was surprised to see Artorias liking diators and blood sports.
Noticing my incredulous tone, Eine began waving her hands rapidly, as if she was trying to protect Artorias reputation. No, no, no, no, Hestia! You misunderstand. The colosseum is simply a remnant of our past. It was built during the time of the Leosfalt kingdom.
Back when the Atadoro and Artorias Kingdom were still part of the Leosfalt Kingdom, it would be an understatement to say they just hated beastmen. The reason why very was forbidden in Artorias today was in no small part thanks to their predecessors willingness to enve any beastmen in the name of the Goddess, thinking they might cure their unholy bloodline.
ording to Eine, during their reign, the Leosfalt Kingdom was a vassal kingdom of the Folschreck Empire and constructed the colosseum as a way to entertain their empire guests, who loved spectating warriors. Beastmen ves were turned into diators, forced to fight each other for nothing but their lives. It also became a prime source of entertainment for themon folk.
After the War of the Fae, the colosseum was devastated by the elven invaders. When Artorias was formed, ns were made to remove the colosseum, but due to objections frommoners rioting to prevent the destruction of more historic buildings, the royal family and seven dukes vetoed the idea. As Artorias had to remain a vassal of the empire to prevent retaliation, the colosseum was renewed to entertain their guests.
Ah, I just remembered this, but in three weeks, on the fifth of SpringBloom, the kingdoms founding will be celebrated! They must be preparing for the festivities, Eine informed me, reminding me of what the king said.
Wasnt there supposed to be a ball on the 1st of SpringBloom? To celebrate Saintess Eshe and the other empire visitors? Will there be another ball or feast on the fifth?
Yes, most likely. However, if I could hazard a guess, I believe the king wishes to use the celebration of our kingdoms founding to wee our guests from the empire. The celebration usuallysts a whole week with various festivities like a colosseum battle, an opera, and whatever themoners decide to do, Eine then paused for a moment to think before continuing. The academy also celebrates this founding by having a ball specifically for the students to join. The whole week will be just a huge week of socializing. Social season has opened up again, urgh.
<em>Opera, huh? Really want to join that. Still, what is happening at the colosseum?</em>
After I asked Eine about it, she replied, Nowadays, our colosseum is used to celebrate certain events. Like the kingdoms founding, the announcement of the grand dukes, or to provide an outlet for the rivalry between the knights school and mages university. Tournaments are hosted to witness powerful warriors and mages fight, jousting events, andpetitions between the mages and knights. Hopefully, without casualties, of course.
There is a rivalry between the knights and mages divisions? I asked.
Yes, but it isnt too important, really. There are even rivalries inside the two factions since they are split up between the duchies responsible for them. Groushia and Lecartiglio for the knights school, and Morgiana and Myrrdin for the mages university. These two factions belong to the royal academy and its a part of our education. Well, that was the short summary, but I dont think I need to exin more since we wont be involving ourselves with them, Eine said.
She will be leaving the academy soon and I dont think anything interesting will happen there, so I wont have any reason to visit it.
After we passed the opera and royal academy, I began to wonder why Eine was doing this. I then asked Eine a question, now that we had spent some time on the tour. Is everything alright, Eine? I agreed to the tour, but why did you suddenly suggest it? Shouldnt your parents be worried about you at this very moment?
With how much concern her father showed when Eine was unconscious, I thought it would be better to quell his worries. Her parents even visited the pce to bring her some clean clothes.
Eines expression distorting, looking conflicted at what to say. I think I wanted to collect my thoughts for a moment before I met my father and mother again. You still know I wish to be a griffon knight, correct?
I nodded.
You told me father carried me to the pce, correct? After you were arrested? Well, after seeing me in that feeble state, I dont think my father would agree to be my sponsor. Without a sponsor, bing a squire at any knights order before I graduate from the royal academy would be a faint dream, Eine contemted her situation. I need to find a way to convince him first before I confront him.
Have you? We had spent quite some time on this tour.
I mean I gave it some thoughts b-but, uhm. Well, I think I have something but Im not so sure. You know, to persuade him, I-I need to show him something, to make him believe that Impet-
[Why not demonstrate to him your new-found powers, dear?]
A chill rushed down our spines as we trembled for a split second. Eines hand snapped upwards, showing us the two eyes upying the gemstones of her spell rings. It was our newest, but unwanted, party member, the Demon of Lust, KleaHatma.
What do you want? I scoffed at the demons sudden remark, showing how irritated I was at her speaking out.
[Come now, Hestia, nobody can hear what Im saying. This is all kept private, after all. No need to be shy~] The constant innuendos are making me want to puke. Still, it is true if we kept the telepathic link between us, nobody could hear the demon. [All I am suggesting is to have Eine show her dear father what she can do now. Simple.]
I will not use you before our preparations are finished, demon, Eine spat out. The Goddess has given us clear instructions. You will not tempt me.
<em>At least, Eine is cautiously hostile and not actually corrupted by that thing.</em>
[Come now, you two, I do like it rough but constant rejections do hurt eventually. We are a team, no? Shouldnt we be more friendly towards each other?]
No, why should we? I replied harshly.
I have no reason other than to use your powers, demon. Eine made her intentions clear.
[Certainly, the youth these days. Hmph.] KleaHatma pouted. [Anyways, do what you wish. I simply wanted to give little Eine a confidence booster. You have a new strength, dear, so be more decisive and show it to your daddy.]
And I already told you I am not interested in using your powers before Hestia is finished with the preparations. Do not think you can tempt me to use your powers, demon. Eine was steadfast, rebuking anything KleaHatma wanted to do, not letting the demons honeyed words move her. But what the demon said next caused her to be speechless.
[I am not speaking about my powers, obviously. Letting something inside your body without protection is just being a fool, child. Instead ofining about me all the time or dying the inevitable, how about you just go to your father and show him your progress? How long have you been traveling with dear Hestia? I dont know. Regardless, you should have learned something if you were even remotely interested in proving your worth to people. Anything is better than nothing. Goodbye~]
We didnt expect to be lectured by a demon. Speechless. We were both keeping our mouths shut as the carriage continued moving through the skies before eventuallynding at Eines home in Griffonpeak. Marianne, Eines mother, immediately charged out of the mansions entrance and gave Eine a hug as soon as wed left the carriage, giving me little attention except for a courtesy greeting. I hope she isnt super angry at me.
Svena?! As we were escorting into the mansion, I suddenly noticed a familiar face. Svena, the temporary maid House Helvas assigned to me when I was staying in Firwood.
I wee you to Griffonpeak, Lady Hestia. It is good to see you in great health, she curtsied. House Helvas has assigned me once again as your maid, if you would ept me, of course.
I could not reject her. Having somebody familiar was wonderful, especially somebody who knew what I liked. Speaking of maids, somebody else was diligently waiting for Eine.
Josine! Eine called out after she was released from her mothers embrace.
Holding back tears to appear professional, Josine, Eines personal attendant, bowed to her mistress. It is good to see you, My Lady. I am very ddend to see you unharmed and healthy. Wee back home, Lady Eine. It was very likely that Josine had heard news about Eines arrival and injuries from Count Helvas. I could only imagine how worried she was.
Reunited with our maids, Eine and I were escorted by Marianne and the maids into the mansion. While we walked, I asked Svena if Barathan or Manue were around but she informed me they had to remain in Helvas County and the Helvas mansion in Firwood, respectively.
We were led into an office room where Count Helvas was waiting for us. After all the butlers and maids, including Svena, left the room, I immediately went ahead and apologized to both the count and countess.
I am sorry! As the leader of Aurora, I had a responsibility to keep my party members safe, including Eine. Im very sorry for worrying you, Eines parents, so much due to my ipetence! I bowed deeply, surprising the two older nobles of my sincerity.
Lady Hestia, please, there is no need to bow! Marianne expressed her opinion loudly.
When I stopped bowing, the two exined that they werent angry at me, as bing an adventurer was Eines choice. Rebelling and joining me before Eines officially took a break from the academy, which had caused a ton of rumors to be created, annoying her brother Jonathan as a result. The fact Eine did not arrive in Griffonpeak at the beginning of the month did make them angry, but their focus was directed at Eine alone.
Eine, dear, maybe joining Lady Hestia now is too early? her mother stated with a wry smile, causing Eine to frown, looking conflicted like a little sheep. There is still time, right? You havent graduated yet, and if you would allow me, I could help you with your magic. Educate you on how to be a proper adventurer.
Fighting monsters ispletely different from fighting other humanoids, Count Helvas began to speak. Learning how to duel another human or beastman is something youll learn well as an alumnus, whether as a knight or mage. However, one issue with the academy is that they do not teach you how to fight against monsters. Monsterse in far more different forms and sizes than beastmen. The amount you need to prepare as a normal human being to adapt to every single threat is maddening. That is why adventurers above C are worthy of praise, as they have years of experience under their belt.
He then bent his body forward, telling Eine to look him in the eyes before continuing, I admit, I trust Princess Hestia to keep you safe, regardless of what happened before, but you will keep worrying everybody around you if you cannot see your own limits. You insult our houses name and your own, Eine. You would do best to
I wish to be a griffon knight! Eine finally let her thoughts out, shocking her parents like a thunderstorm.
Why? Count Helvas looked at his daughter incredulously, speaking in an irritated tone.
I-I am not useless, father. I-I have found a master who will train me into bing a proper artificer. I have reached D rank as a hunter. I-I met an experienced fighter and asked them to teach me the sword. I even reached level 58, Eine tried to persuade her father with every feat she could think of, but her father remained unimpressed.
And? What does this have anything to do with you bing a griffon knight? Eine, the Order of the Lionheart is a prestigious Knights Order for those strong of will and body to tame a griffon. You know the initiation process. Do you think you can survive alone on Avitor Peaks? Without Lady Hestia or herpanions? I think not, Count Helvas harsh words stung Eine, causing her to waver. Besides, you are naming all of these as if they are your own feats. If I had to guess, they are not. While I am surprised to hear you are level 58, what does a level have anything to do with this? Your level is irrelevant if your skill is below average.
<em>Skills and training over stats. Its always been the case.</em>
You cannot persuade me with these lukewarm arguments, Eine. You are a daughter of House Helvas, an aristocrat. As a retainer, you will not shame yourself in front of your mistress!
I wanted to say something, but I had enoughmon sense to read the atmosphere. There wasnt any way for me to speak my opinions without making it awkward. This was Eines battle. If I had spoken up, I would have proven Count Helvass point.
Eine needed to stand and fight.
Then let me show you my progress, father. Although she looked nervous, Eines trembling eyes looked directly into her fathers as she spoke.
How? Are you suggesting a spar?
Eine nodded. I want to show you my conviction. I want to show you my wish to be a griffon knight just like you. I want to experience the same tales you told me when I was still small, I want to fly as high as you and mother. I want to be somebody you can be proud of, just like my brother. I want to finally be a person who can proudly call herself an Artorian, somebody who doesnt continuously shame her house with every single breath! I want to stop feeling only bad for myself, father!
Count Helvas took in a deep breath before speaking his next words, Very well. Come with me to the sparring grounds, we will use a sword there.
Andre?! Marianne looked at her husband in horror, but he simply waved his hand in dismissal.
I will not hear yourints, Marianne. Our daughter has picked up the sword, and, as her father, how can I refuse her challenge? I will see for myself why Lady Hestia praised her fighting ability. When he walked past Eine, he continued speaking to her. Shiver any more and you will lose your chance, Eine. If you wish to prove yourself, then show me the courage you have gained through your small-time traveling. Come in a gambeson. Your armor is a gift from Lady Hestia, it will not truly prove your new strength.
Hope and determination were filling Eines every step as we walked to the sparring grounds. Eines father wasnt wearing his armor, only a gambeson like his daughter. The moment they locked eyes, Eine gulped and began to shiver again. The thought of fighting her father caused her to remember when he stopped her sword training, telling her it would be better to pick up magic.
Dont worry. You fought against giant spiders and lizards. You can do it, Eine. With one final push, Eine clutched her sword and the fight began.
At first, due to Eines levels and using SP to buy stat growth skills, Eine was able to keep up with her father. Marianne gasped as she saw her daughter keep up with her husbands movements, and Count Helvas even praised Eine for training well. Eine was able to show her father what she learned from Yorshka, showing a more unorthodox sword-fighting technique using magic and [Dragoon Jump]. Well, unorthodoxpared to her fathers prim-and-proper sword fighting.
Count Helvas wasnt a strong mage, something Eine told me once. When he defeated his brother for the mantle of Count Helvas, he defeated him not with magic and the sword, but the sword alone. Her time sparring with Yorshka wasnt much, but she was able to improve her footwork and stance to the point it wasnt amateurish. Still, what kept this fighting on the edge was Eines use of her superior magic.
She has already reached the advanced skills for wind and earth magic? Marianne showed a faint smile, clearly proud but baffled at what was happening. She then turned to me. Is this part of your gift to my daughter, Lady Hestia? And truly chantless casting is beyond what a normal mage should be able to do. [Chant Revocation Lv. 10] is reserved for the mostmitted archmages.
I nodded, causing Marianne to sigh deeply. Considering how long she must have spent training her arcane powers, I could guess she was a bit envious.
As Eines wind and earth spells devastated the sparring grounds, the tides finally turned the moment Count Helvas used his first ability. <em>Gale Steps,</em> the same footwork ability Saori learned from Gael, elerating the users speed for a short burst; with this ability, Count Helvas slipped through Eines spells like the wind.
As her father advanced forward, Eine found it hard to weave her spells without a skill like my [Parallel Thoughts] nor an especially high level in [Concentration]. Count Helvass sword swings forced Eine to dodge around, making it harder for her to keep shooting out spells. As she tried to escape with [Dragoon Jump], the count used [Calling Winds].
Just like the time that Farron used it on me, Count Helvas swung his sword downwards in an arc, causing the winds before him to get sucked towards him. Eine, surprised at this move, was pulled right back into closebat. The Count, nowpletely serious, did not allow Eine a single opening. Without showing leniency, Count Helvas aggressively continued his barrage of attacks, ending this battle after unarming Eine.
Count Helvass ability to chain his sword abilities over and over again was too much for Eines still blooming sword skill. She was able to give a good enough fight at the beginning, but Eine was still a mage at the end of the day.
Do you understand now? You need more training, Eine. No dream can be achieved without the strength to push yourself beyond your current state! You may have a higher level than the average aristocrat of your age, but you do not have the strength to do so. Do not be arrogant, daughter. Harsh words spewed out of his mouth like fire after brutally putting Eine in her ce.
Biting her lips in frustration, Eine nodded. Yes, father.
You will go back to the academy to dismiss those crass rumors created in your two weeks absence, yes?
Yes, father
Good, then we are in agreement. Tomorrow we shall continue your training. Prepare yourself, for even if you are my daughter, I will train you as if you were a normal squire.
At the unexpected statement, Eine snapped her head up, looking at her father with a quizzical face. Her father, however, simply stayed stoic. You made your vow already to be Lady Hestias retainer. Will you break this vow and dishonor yourself even more, Eine? Do you remember what God Kargryxmor represents? He is the God of Dragons and Oaths. I hope you didnt even think of breaking this oath with one of the dragonkin, especially Lady Hestia. I cannot stop you from going, but I will make sure you will leave the nest with the strength to achieve your ambitions.
Reaching his hand out to help Eine up, the Count finished his speech, It took me too long to understand my role as your father, Eine. You have proven yourself to me, a knight alumnus of the Order of the Lionheart, so I will sponsor your initiation once you have finished my training. As your father, I ask for your forgiveness, Eine. Allow me to rectify my neglect for your training, simply because I underestimated your determination.
Speechless at what her father said, Eine clutched her hands into fists, grabbed her fathers arm and stood back up. With a resolute, Yes, father! I wont fail you! It seemed our time in Griffonpeak would take longer than expected.
After everybody took a shower, we all went to the dinning room for dinner and supper, where the Count and Countess informed Eine and me about the Sarlenzia Trading Company suddenly receiving arge supply of fulinoe leaves, Belzac herbs, and other Belzac nts or herbs.
Theyined that they werent able to purchase anything since they were sold out immediately. Mariannes family in the Morgiana Duchy managed to buy a few, even gifting some leaves and herbs to her, but the Helvas couple were still distraught at missing this golden moment. They even became silent after we told them we were the suppliers for the Sarlenziapany.
After dinner was done, Count Helvas suggested to Eine to reenter the academy next week, in four days time. This was the time needed for her to catch up on the materials and homework she had to do.
As all students of the academy lived in the institutions dorms, Eines brother Jonathan hadnt made it back home yet. The count suggested to surprise him the moment Eine could make it back, telling her to make it as explosive as possible, although I didnt understand how. The countess could only sigh as Eines training began.
We also took this time to share the demon secret with her parents, considering this was something they had to know. They were mortified at first but slightly calmed down after I told them Aurena agreed to it. It went without saying that once they had a discussion with Lust, all they could muster was a disgusted face with all her innuendos.
Three days. It took three days for Saori, Tasianna, and Grimnir to make it to Griffonpeak and Helvas mansion at the highest speed the garms could drag the RV.
During this time, I was finally able to finish my newest song-spell. After exining everything to Saori, Tasianna, and Grimnir what happened when we were gone, the tests could officially begin. Inside the basement, Eines parents and Aurora were waiting for the debut of my newest song and the unveiling of Lust.

<strong>Bio:</strong> Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I''m just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.
I eventually found out that I''ve been spending a bit too much time with building, nning, and researching for the story, that I''ve decided to just share it with others.
Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.
I''m also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn''t mind you pointing it out though. Achievements
