You’ve been a great help to Tuldarr, and you’re free to make any selfish demand you’d like.” The meetings and proposals to draw up the new parliamentary system were proceeding apace. She was currently shouldering a third of that work as well as her regular duties. It was an awful lot to hand off to Legis. Still, the young man was steadfast. “Don’t worry about the workload. While I’ve been very fortunate to have your help all this time, it’s no hardship at all if you hurry your abdication along. I wish for nothing more than for you to be safe and to forge a bond with Farsas.”"
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Tinasha: Despite Legis’s somewhat droll tone, Tinasha crossed her arms and frowned. What he was saying was entirely correct. He was capable of handling things going forward as king. And while Tinasha’s power gave Tuldarr an advantage, it also put the nation at risk. “You may be right. And since completely unpredictable enemies may keep showing up as long as I’m here…I suppose I’ll prepare to abdicate once my wedding attire is ready. Is that all right?”"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Legis: “Of course it is,” Legis replied. A fleet of artisans had begun crafting Tinasha’s bridal attire a month ago; it was set to be completed in three more. Should everything go smoothly, she would vacate the throne half a year after her coronation. Her reign would be exceedingly short, but not without precedent. About five hundred years before, there was a king who ruled for a scant two months before stepping down."

"value": "Legis: Legis and Tinasha went on to review several other things. While most were resolved by immediate agreement, Legis raised an eyebrow as he made one last inquiry. “What will you do about that magic orb? Will you transport it to Farsas?” He was referring to the magical item that could send the user backward through time, an enigmatic artifact that had the power to remake the world. Certainly, Tinasha couldn’t leave the matter as it was, yet she had no idea how best to handle it. At the very least, there was Valt to contend with, a mage who knew much more about the orb than she did. The sphere had a twin, and the pair were collectively known as Eleterria. It was Valt’s mission to obtain both."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Tinasha: “Yes, that’s a good question. Valt knows that Tuldarr and Farsas each have one. I’ve sealed off ours, but I also need to do the same for the Farsas orb."

Most captivating was her aura of mystique. Noticing him, she turned around, and the man could not help but gasp at her beauty. She stared at him hard enough to bore holes through his skull. \"Are you the owner of this place?\""

All she did was sing. The people who listened to her tune may have perished, but no one could prove she carried any culpability. While Clara reassured herself of that, she was unaware that Simon, who stood behind her, was watching Tinasha with the gaze of a man resigned to his fate."

People who couldn’t see the future made their way in the world with ignorance as their salvation. But he, lacking that escape, had no choice but to cling to a single hope.

Farther beyond was a gigantic pillar that caught Tinasha’s attention. It was about as thick around as a dozen adults holding hands in a ring.

He zeroed in on the flying thing. \"Nark?\" It was certainly shaped like the king’s dragon, though the coloring was entirely different. Its body, large as a hawk’s, was gray as stone. While he had no idea what it was, he cast a spell to bring down the creature as it flew overhead. However, it sensed the magic, quivering in midair before reversing course and flying away. \"Hey! Stop!\" Whatever it was, he couldn’t let it escape. He swiftly cast another spell and released it. This magic would paralyze the flying thing for just a second and slow its movements. The bird stiffened when the spell hit, but it did not fall. It zoomed away on unsteady wings. Then a white light from out of nowhere engulfed the gray bird.

So many people have died, yet we can’t find any commonalities between their deaths… Some perish out of nowhere, screaming and vomiting blood, while others are discovered with their heads stuck in water jars.

The mysterious, unexplained deaths one after another in the east. Oscar suspected that the very first casualty was the mage who fell to his death at Minnedart. However, something had occurred before that in the vicinity of the fortress—the Ito riders’ extensive raiding and subsequent capture. It probably got released in the aftermath of all that. Something dwelled in a place sacred to the Ito. Valt had read about it in one of his ancestors’ journals. It had to be the exact same thing that the ancient spirit sorcerers fled Tayiri to escape. The stone birds were created to patrol for it. “So it was…Irityrdia.” The thing that made mages lose their minds, sent their magic running haywire, and wrecked their spirits and life force. A force of nature also known by the names World-Splitting Blade and Sleeping Paleface. Irityrdia—Tayiri’s one god—was the true form of what was sealed away inside Tris. Long ago, a mage’s body was used to seal it off when it caused havoc. Someone who knew of this must have placed Irityrdia within Tris."
},
{
"from": "human",

Everyone who died either had magic or was otherwise affected by magic going haywire.” According to the legends, the presence of Irityrdia rendered mages insane in both mind and body, a danger to themselves and others. Irityrdia must have awakened in the aftermath of the battle with the Ito, slowly made its way toward the castle city, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake…and gotten captured along the way."
},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Doan: Doan let out a heavy sigh. \"It looks like it was Savas’s intention to bring Irityrdia into the city.

},
{
"from": "gpt",

He must have been used as a puppet, since mages can’t get close to Irityrdia. One of Leonora’s underlings or someone else must be responsible.” Fortunately, even a plot like this hadn’t destroyed Farsas. The situation had been resolved in only a week."

Admittedly, it would’ve been difficult for any ordinary person to lay the groundwork on such a massive scale. We drew up dozens and dozens of spells so small you wouldn’t notice until the very last minute, and then we connected them. Oh, but it did make us uneasy when someone discovered a half-finished spell once and tried to use it.” Valt explained blithely, though the level of spellwork here was anything but normal. To have come so far with such a massive, forbidden work required vast reserves of magic, exceptional spell-casting ability, and fierce tenacity. And not only that…"

Here it was again, targeting her anew, but knowledge of this magic should have perished."

The next heir can’t awaken to their powers until their predecessor dies. The only thing we know about the other heirs, past and future, is their names. Everything else we must relay via journals and memoirs. It’s an inconvenient, lonely existence.” Valt said bitterly, his face conveying only sadness and gloom. But then his enigmatic smile returned. “It has taken more than three months, from the time we began laying the groundwork for the spell up until the finishing touches. We had to be exceedingly careful not to trip Tuldarr’s surveillance network and alert you. Ironically, you would have noticed if we’d prepared this in Farsas. Considering the scope of this spell, it is constantly emitting low-grade magic. However, Tuldarr is a nation of mages. The faintest trace of odd magic wouldn’t give you pause, would it?”"
