Hey, Tafels back!
Tafel flinched and furrowed her brow. All she had done was push open the door to the smithy, and the person at the counter shouted loud enough for all the smiths to hear, even those located in the far back of the workshop.
Welcome back, Tafel, a smith said. Ive brought plenty of unrefined ores with me for you to use as practice today. A large grin appeared on the mans face. In fact, we all did! The smith laughed and turned his attention back onto his forge. When I finish my work, Ill be right over.
Alright, Tafel said and went up to the person at the counter. Is Pan here?
Pan? the man asked. Yeah, hes in the back. Before you go, can I ask you something?Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
Tafel raised an eyebrow. What is it?
Were you on the fifth floor today by any chance?
Oh, yeah, Tafel said. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised her voice. The dragon who beat the lords is my husband.
What? Youre married to a dragon? someone asked as they walked over. But arent you a phoenix? I was under the impression dragons and phoenixes got along like cats and dogs.
Kim Hajun sniffed in hard, the sound akin to a small cough.
Tafel blinked before asking the approaching blacksmith, Pan?
You remembered my name, Pan said. Im surprised.
What? Tafel asked, raising an eyebrow.
Pan made a strange expression. Is that, uh, bat skeleton supposed to be there?
Tafel reached up and touched the space above her head, her finger bumping into something pointy. Since it didnt make a sound and was as light as air, she had forgotten the bat skeleton was still there. Oh, yeah, the demon said with a straight face. Its my chaperone.
I was concerned when I thought it was just a fashion statement, but now Im even more concerned, one of the blacksmiths whispered, his voice still loud enough for Tafel to hear.
A dark expression appeared on the demons face. Couldnt Auntie have sent a ghost to monitor her instead?

Lindyss raised the finished sweater by its shoulders and spun it this way and that. After inspecting it, she nodded and stuffed the sweater into her pocket before placing her knitting supplies inside as well. The cursed elf climbed to her feet and walked over to Vur before knocking on one of his scales. Hello. Is there anyone home?
In response, Vur let out a little snort in his sleep. The blue runes on his back lit up, and a blue boulder formed on the ground by Lindyss feet. Mistle looked up at Lindyss with her sapphire eyes. Were you looking for one of us?
Thats right, Lindyss said. I need you four elementals to help me. It wont be strenuous work or anything; in fact, I think youll find it fun.
Three more boulders, one red, one green, and one brown, appeared on the ground by Mistle. The elementals stared up at Lindyss. What are we going to do?
The Light Lord and Wind Lord went to get the rest of the lords information, Lindyss said. But theyll probably bring back the lords themselves, and when that happens, I, with the help of all of you, am going to intimidate them.
But why? Sheryl asked. Didnt Vur beat them enough?
Vur only hurt them physically, Lindyss said, but thats beside the point. Were not just representing ourselves, but all of Erdewhat we do here will affect how the residents of the tower treat the people of Erde who come in the future. I have to show the lords whos the boss.
