"She seed slightly troubled at first, but slowly ca back to her senses, and imdiately started exploring the city. She went from place to place, admiring it all, and constantly said that I was a good King for taking care of my place." Laughed Dainn. "She was a fun woman to be around, you would never know what she would do next! Sotis I would wake up from a big explosion in the kitchen as she tried doing alchemy there, other tis I would hear the ground shake as she ended leaving a crater in the backyard of the castle for practicing her magic… Other tis we would hear her fighting dragons outside the city. She was full of surprises."
"S-She sure was…" I laughed.
To be honest, she seems like a lot of trouble! I guess if King Dainn was really grumpy, stuck-up, and boring in the past, it makes sense such an extrovert woman would bring him so much joy. Honestly she wounds quite silly… despite the air of mysteriousness she held.
"I've heard about mother's clumsiness and her silly hijinks before." Brisingra laughed. "Father has always told I had a similar personality to her, although I think I am a bit more responsible…"
"That is for sure, my dearest." Laughed the King. "Nonetheless, as the ti went by, she started helping. After my family continuously told to throw her away, and that she was just trouble, she started doing… miracles. In just a few days out of nowhere, she fixed and almost completely recreated the sewage system using her advanced magic and alchemy. Later, she repaired the castle completely and expanded its underground zone, creating a proper, magic-protected treasury to store our treasures. And then, as if she hadn't done enough, she mass produced over a million healing and mana potions, which she gifted to the royal family, they were all of trendously high quality! We still got so in our storages. She said all of those gifts were her way to repay us for all our generosity so far."
"A-Amazing… She was a genius! She could just do anything?!" Acorn asked. "I didn't knew Alchemist could do much more than just… potions and bombs."
"Of course, the Alchemy she wielded was sothing called… Ancient Alchemy? Or sothing." Said King Dainn. "It not only allowed her to excel in the conventional alchemy we all know, but she was able to manipulate anything within her range using magic, shape, transform it, and enhance it. My family quickly had to admit she was a trendous asset to the Kingdom, and stopped pestering . Although they tried taking advantage of her later, I fended them off and protected her. She was quite the clumsy woman, and lacked common sense, so she often always fell into their sches…"
"Fufu, sounds like a cute and romantic cody drama." Giggled Lily.
"Hahaha… Well, at the end, she confessed to out of nowhere, and told that she loved … She took by surprise because I was trying to muster the strength to say the sa thing! I couldn't believe a woman confessed her feelings to ! I felt like a young lad when that happened." The King laughed. "After many years with her, we ended marrying, and through the next ten or so years, we continued working together to protect our ho, this Kingdom. I always asked her if she had a ho to belong to, so place she wanted to go to, but she always told that she was "rejected" by her own kin, and had nowhere to go. She told that… I was everything she had now, and that this Kingdom was her only ho."
"Mother…" Brisingra sighed.
"After that, well, she created that magic barrier, and many other magical tools to help on our daily lives. She improved the smithies, and even created the amazing golem models we still use today. All of that through her Ancient Alchemy and the knowledge her kin bestowed upon her." Said King Dainn. "After all those blissful years where every day was sothing new… Eventually, she started growing weaker, as if from one day to the other, her energy started running lower."
"Nothing could heal her exhaustion, and slowly, she stopped making tools and helping . She often spent entire days sleeping in bed, we tried all sorts of elixirs with her, all sorts of items, but nothing worked…" King Dainn. "Yet, despite fully knowing of her fate, she held off for three more years, weak and exhausted, she gave birth to our dear Brisingra, blessing with an heir, half dwarf and half high elf, the first of her kin, she said."
"The first of my kin…" Brisingra muttered.
"She said our daughter would one day beco a great figure in this world, soone that would lead not only our kingdom, but many other people into a brighter future… She even told about the Seven Sealed Demon Kings, who she often referred as "the calamities of the seven eras", she predicted them. I was so foolish for not completely believing her, thinking she was joking around." King Dainn started crying. "My dear rcedes, in her last months of life, dedicated herself fully to craft the ring Brisingra now holds. She poured her entire soul into it, her entire magical powers, everything. She told to save this ring and give it to our daughter when she was ready to accept her fate."
"My fate?" Brisingra wondered. "I never thought… I was destined for such things myself."
"And she also told about the Legacy of the Ancient High Elves, and the tribe she belonged to… The Overseers of Ti." Said Dainn. "I don't know more than this, I never dared to ask her anymore than this, believing I would remind her of an old emotional wound. But perhaps, Queen Titania, in her ancientness, could know sothing more about these Ancient High Elves, if you truly want to find out about this, Lady Planta."
