▬▬▬▬▬ㅤ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐍 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐄, although not by herself, managed to change the past━ well, it wasn't exactly her fault that it happened, but Solamon Izzet's, the one from the timeline they were in.

ㅤㅤㅤAh, past Hisirdoux had a point, Sol didn't know it was possible to agree him him on something, but time travel was very confusing.

ㅤㅤㅤShe began forcing herself to pay attention on anything the king or the troll were saying, but it was hard when her head was filled with questions she made to understand what happened to herself before━ the old Hisirdoux had explained to them, minutes ago, that her family actually came to get her, which technically also confirmed that in the past Merlin and king Arthur were saying the truth, but she preferred not to think too much about that, it would give her a headache ━a worst one, that is━.

ㅤㅤㅤShe didn't notice how Hisirdoux stood behind her, trying to spy ahead to see how the conversation between the humans and the trolls would go, she didn't notice how one of the trolls took a rock from the ground, ready to prank one of the knights, and she didn't notice the suspicious glances Claire was throwing her━ obviously because of how Hisirdoux was standing close to her so casually all of a sudden.

ㅤㅤㅤIt was all a bit overwhelming, to think that just by being there she managed to change her own past so drastically. Because of how that version of Sol lacked the hesitance she had to leave Camelot at that time, her wings were still intact. Solamon was on edge, almost expecting her wings to grow back in a second, even when she knew it wouldn't happen.

ㅤㅤㅤAnd as much as she tried to avoid it, a stronger headache hit her head like a rock against her iron helmet.

ㅤㅤㅤNo, wait. It was a real rock.

ㅤㅤㅤTurning her head, Sol glared sharply at the knight who stood by her side, but they raised their hands to show their innocence. If they were faking it or not, Solamon didn't care.

ㅤㅤㅤWhile out of her thoughts, Sol finally managed to catch Douxie, Claire and Jim trying to overhear the conversation and frowned, using the spear she was given to push them back as gently as possible.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Hey, hey, hey." she alerted in a whisper. "Don't do that, you'll get in trouble." Hisirdoux raised his hands in mock surrender and shrugged as he gave a few steps back, pulling Claire and Jim with him so they could talk about the matter in whispers.

ㅤㅤㅤSol watched as they talked to each other for a while before the three of they walked away with Merlin. Solamon had to stop herself from following her friends━ it was a habit she had created after they got stuck in the past. It was odd noticing that just now, she was more used to being followed more than anything, Sol had been a teacher to four human children, after all.

ㅤㅤㅤThen, when she turned back to the two leaders of the trolls of Dwoza and humans of Camelot, they shared a nod and walked together to the entrance of Dwosa. Some of the knights, including Sol, pushed the trolls back to give the leaders some space to walk through.

ㅤㅤㅤThen, Solamon finally had an excuse to follow her friends. And that's exactly what she did.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Wizard..." king Arthur spoke as they approached Merlin and Sol's friends. She stayed behind by Ezekiel's side as the boy played with his sword's hilt to cope with his anxiety━ there was a war coming soon, it was impossible to stay away from the fear, and the last thing Ezekiel wanted was to be on the wrong side of the war━ the losing side. "we've reached an agreement." the king continued, both Merlin and Hisirdoux visibly became less tense at that. "Now you must convince the crowd."

ㅤㅤㅤAs Merlin walked by the king's side to go back inside, Ezekiel ran to Steve to check on the boy━ as much as he was an idiot, he knew a war was coming, and surely he must've been as scared as Ezekiel because of how new all of that was.

ㅤㅤㅤ"What did the king and Vendel say? How did they come to an agreement?" Hisirdoux whispered to Sol as they followed Merlin and the two leaders. The fairy thought for a moment━ what was it that they were talking about, again? She had heard something about equality and also living together at peace... oh, yes! Yes, that was it.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Well..." she had no idea how to phrase the five words she managed to catch from their discussion.

ㅤㅤㅤ"You weren't paying attention, were you?" Hisirdoux smirked, already expecting that by the way Sol seemed so lost in her own thoughts when he last saw her inside Dwoza.

ㅤㅤㅤ"No, I was not." she admitted with a sigh, holding back a smile after Hisirdoux laughed at her.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Trolls of Dwoza!" Vendel's strong call ended the whispers of confused trolls around their home, making them turn to their leader as he raised his left arm. "Hear us now!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"As we speak," Arthur stood by his side, and Merlin stood by his side. "death comes for us all! But we bring an offer of hope."

ㅤㅤㅤ"Here comes the light show!" Hisirdoux left Sol's side, a smirk on his face as he opened Merlin's projector and watched as the small object worked on its own to put one round glass above the other, reflecting the image of the familiar amulet in the air so that everyone could see.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I've designed a grand weapon," Merlin spoke as the familiar blue gem with an iron protection and gears surrounding it appeared in the air. "an amulet which will choose the greatest warrior among you━" an image of the Killahead Bridge appeared by the side and the amulet floated to the center of it, a perfect fit. "━to banish the GummGumm menace from our realm and become the Trollhunter!" golden figures of imaginary GummGumms were pulled by the portal the amulet had opened, and the Trolls of Dwoza watched in amazement.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Troll...hunter?" a blue troll, with big horns and a rectangular shaped face glanced around his peers to see if they believed in the wizard━ if they did, then so would he.

ㅤㅤㅤ"The amulet's power will activate Killahead Bridge," Arthur continued, gesturing with sharp movements that seemed to mesmerize the trolls and give them some kind of hope by his confidence on that amulet. "once a border between our worlds, turning it into magic prison for Gunmar and his brood, trapping them in the Darklands and ending this war!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Wow." breathed another troll from behind the blue horned one, seemingly as amazed as everyone else with her wide purple eyes and small smile. "We would finally have peace? No more bloodshed, no more dungeons..." that thought brought a hopeful shine to her eyes. "The Trollhunter could save our kind━"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Stop gawking, outsider." the blue troll turned, frowning at her as he spoke. "I, Draal, Dwoza's strongest, shall be chosen for glory!" Draal spoke with confidence, raising his stone chin and smirking as the green troll behind him narrowed her eyes at him, mouth pressed in a straight line.

ㅤㅤㅤ"The battle will not be easy." Vendel warned. "While the wizard builds this am-yoo-let," he visibly struggled to say the word. "the king's men will train our bravest."

ㅤㅤㅤ"Indeed." Lancelot spoke from his place, by a corner near the entrance. Steve and Ezekiel stood by each side of the knight and Sol was not so far from them. "I shall guide the trolls to be true warriors and prepare you all for war. And I wish for the help of my best knights," all of Camelot's knights stood straight, a bit nervous after sir Lancelot's phrase. "sir Steve━"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Yeah! Let's go!" the boy cheered, punching the air as he jumped in excitement. Ezekiel had to turn to the side to hide his laughter at Steve's reaction.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Sir Ezekiel," Ezekiel stopped laughing. "and sir Callum."

ㅤㅤㅤWho━?

ㅤㅤㅤOh.

ㅤㅤㅤDamnit.

ㅤㅤㅤSol's eyes went wide, almost flickering to their original shiny color, and she cleared her throat, carefully slipping the voice sphere inside her mouth before she spoke.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Okay." it came out quiet, far from what she wanted, but she didn't repeat herself.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Then we ride for Killahead to draw Gunmar out!" the king finished, and most of the trolls cheered, confident that this would be the last time they would have to fight to live at peace.

ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤ"𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋," Archie sniffed to fix his glasses as he walked side by side with Hisirdoux. "it seems we may have a shot at surviving this, after all."

ㅤㅤㅤ"One shot is the best I can offer." Merlin mumbled, frowning ━as always━ as he stopped near Claire and Jim to talk to the group. "When Killahead activates, it shall unleash a surge of magic across the realm." he straightened his staff on the ground and the gem on its center shone a wave of green light, Hisirdoux had to look away because of its brightness.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Just enough to power the Heart of Avalon for a trip through time." he connected the dots, gesturing with his hand as he glanced at each of his friends.

ㅤㅤㅤ"But only one," Merlin pointed, warning Hisirdoux sternly. "which means everything must go accordingly to my plan. Hisirdoux, with me." he walked away in fast steps. "I need your assistance."

ㅤㅤㅤHisirdoux turned to Sol, who still stared at Merlin as he left.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Do you want to come with m━ with us?" he scratched the back of his own head, a worried frown upon his face. "It seems like a lot of pressure━ to train a whole army, I mean."

ㅤㅤㅤ"It's nothing I can't handle." the ginger smiled, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder and shaking it a bit. "I'll be alright, just stay safe, okay?" she pat his shoulder awkwardly, avoiding eye contact as she did so.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I will." he smiled, putting his hand over hers before he walked away in a hurry to catch up with Merlin━ he was rather quick for an old man.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Oohhhkay," Claire raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms as Jim watched with an amused smile. "You're gonna tell me everything after we're back. And I mean everything." she warned, pointing at Sol as the fairy backed away with an innocent smile.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Don't know what you're talking about." she sang, stomping back inside and ignoring Claire's giggles.

ㅤㅤㅤ"All right, men━ uh, trolls. Trolls!" Lancelot frowned as he glanced at each troll, trying to analyze what their respective strengths were so that he could find the perfect position for them in the formation. "Warfare is both art and skill."

ㅤㅤㅤ"You can deal with the smaller ones," Sol mumbled out to Ezekiel, who stood by her side, quietly so that she wouldn't interrupt Lancelot with his whole monologue. "I can handle training the bigger ones."

ㅤㅤㅤ"Shouldn't training the trolls be a team work? There are so many of them!" he mumbled back, frowing as he tried to count them all.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Please," Sol snorted, amused. "you really think Steve is going to be of any help? The boy barely has any muscles himself. And if Lancelot had to ask for the help of his youngest knights, then that means he doesn't want to do it himself, I doubt he'll raise a finger to help us." she gestured to each of the men she spoke of with her head, giving them a glare while she was at it. "It's up to us, Ezekiel." the boy gulped, but nodded anyway, breathing in and out slowly.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Listen up, rock-jocks!" Steve interrupted sir Lancelot and Sol sighed, already expecting that to happen. "Class is in session for Steve's Knight School of Hard Knocks and Rocks!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Yeah, yeah, okay, that's enough!" the fairy put a hand over the boy's head, pinching her frown with the other one. "Steve, you can train the... gnomes, or something, just leave the rest to me and Ezekiel.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Huh? Why?" he visibly saddened up at that. Lancelot wasn't even there anymore, far away from them doing whatever━ Sol already expected that, she decided to just ignore the man for now.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Because the gnomes need training too, and no one could do it better than you." she smiled━ clearly a forced one, although Steve didn't seem to catch up on that, as his smug smile and confident stance was back in a second.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Yeah, alright. Good luck, Sol, Zeke!" and then he was gone.

ㅤㅤㅤThey were both silent for a moment before Sol snorted and Ezekiel sighed.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Zeke━"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Stop that."

ㅤㅤㅤSolamon laughed before she approached the bigger trolls, ignoring how they tensed up, to begin her training.

ㅤㅤㅤIt didn't go so well.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Try again, you have to reach that horn or I'm not letting you go, you understand me?!" Sol pulled on the red troll's left ear to scream directly at it, making him flinch as his ear went deaf for a long second.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Yeah, yeah, understand!" he cried, glancing up at the horn on top of a very tall pile of rocks.

ㅤㅤㅤIt seemed as the threat worked, the troll managed to touch the horn, but it tired him out quickly and Sol had to wait until he regained his breath to continuing training them.

ㅤㅤㅤIf they were to stay in that same slow pace, they were sure to lose the battle before it even started.

ㅤㅤㅤSol had to try a different approach, but she couldn't think of a better one━ although they didn't have much time, training was supposed to prepare them to be actual warriors, and that would take too much time, Sol was unfortunate enough to catch up on that a little too late.

ㅤㅤㅤA high pitched whistle made her head throb in pain for a moment, the fairy turned with a frown to catch Steve in a higher ground than the others, holding a dirty sock in his left hand and a determined expression as he forced the little gnome he was training to try and reach the sock with his mouth by doing pullups.

ㅤㅤㅤ"C'mon! C'mon!" he encouraged again and again until the gnome managed to get the sock and fell back to the ground, a big, toothy, smile on his face. "Yeah! That's right little dude, you did it!" he cheered, joining the gnome on the ground to shake him in excitement.

ㅤㅤㅤSol thought for a good minute, looking at the boy and then at the trolls behind her.

ㅤㅤㅤShe could only hope to not regret that decision.

ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤ"𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, Sol?" Archie asked her as she sat by his side on a rock outside of Dwoza━ it was still night time and the chilly weather made her shiver for a moment as she sighed in exhaustion.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I'm okay, no need to worry, Archie." she smiled minimally, scratching the cat's ear for a moment before stretching herself until her joints cracked━ she was beginning to grow uncomfortable inside that armor, being forced to stay that stiff for so long was tiring her out. "Training trolls is harder than I expected, is all. I left it to Steve and Ezekiel, they were doing a better job than me, anyway."

ㅤㅤㅤ"Hm, I can only imagine." he answered with a soft laugh, laying back down in the rock after a moment. As she took her helmet off, fixing her hair with a simple shake of her head, Archie stared at her in worry. "Sol... do you think we have the chance to actually win this war?"

ㅤㅤㅤThe ginger looked over at him in surprise for a moment before her gaze softened. Sol was silent, trying to think of an answer to calm his nerves a bit, but she couldn't find one.

ㅤㅤㅤThere was no good answer to that.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I don't know." she sighed, rubbing her tired eyes ━still full of magic powder and still quite irritated from it━. "But we'll do our best to ensure that."

ㅤㅤㅤArchie nodded slowly, taking in her unsure answer with a saddened look. The cat shivered, only now taking notice of the cold wind passing through each crack on the rocks ahead, and jumped on Sol's lap to make himself more comfortable. The fairy smiled down at him and took him in her arms to make him as comfortable as he could get there, gently patting him ━Archie noticed how she struggled to be gentle, she wasn't like that with any animal, not even with her own familiar, who she was accustomed to share aggressive affection with, so it was possibly something new for Sol━.

ㅤㅤㅤThat simple, silent moment made Sol miss her familiar. Although together they weren't very calm like this, she still felt at peace with him, and, somehow, she knew the crow felt the same. Sol wondered if he was safe ━she didn't doubt of his capacities to protect himself, but the bird was a bit too chaotic for his own good and that was enough to get him in trouble very often━, if he had found her past self or his own, or if he even left her side, if he just stayed observing her at all times while hiding from everyone else to keep her protected like he always did.

ㅤㅤㅤFor nine hundred years, that damn crow was her only company, and she missed him in the one week they spent apart. Sol became attached to the bird and she didn't even know it until now━ she'd been so ungrateful mourning for her family that she forgot who she had there, by her side, in the present.

ㅤㅤㅤIt was funny ━not a good funny, far from that━ how she only ever missed people after they were gone. It happened with Hisirdoux, and with her family, and now with her familiar.

ㅤㅤㅤSolamon Izzet was never one to know how being attached to someone works, and now she was almost crying because she spent three days away from a crow. The fairy felt lucky to have someone with her at the moment, if not, she would've already had a breakdown at that point just from loneliness.

ㅤㅤㅤAnd as Sol kept Archie from being cold, he kept her from being too lonely.

ㅤㅤㅤIt was only silent for a minute, though.

ㅤㅤㅤCommotion began from inside Dwoza, Archie perked up in worry and jumped to transform into his dragon form, waiting for Sol to put her helmet back on before they both ran in to see what was happening.

ㅤㅤㅤMost trolls were surrounding a single one who stared wide eyed at the blue amulet as it called her the trollhunter again and again. The troll's magenta eyes were somehow familiar to Sol━ she shook off the deja vu feeling, it was not important at the moment.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Ignore them!" Merlin insisted after the trolls started to argue that Callista ━the calamity itself━ was not fit to be the Trollhunter who would save them all. "Accept this honor."

ㅤㅤㅤShe was hesitant━ Callista was hopeful that she was truly fit for the title, that she could save her kind, even when they did not see her as such ━she's basically a fleshbag, they said━, but she wasn't. She was nothing.

ㅤㅤㅤShe was nobody's savior, Callista was nobody at all.

ㅤㅤㅤ"No, they're right, I'm not a hero." she sighed. "I'm not even good at being a troll." she dropped the amulet to the floor and ran out of Dwoza, staring at the floor in shame.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Go on, say the words!" Merlin still insisted, shocked that she didn't want to accept his blessed amulet and the big responsibilities that came with it.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Cal, wait!" Jim called, although he didn't step forward to follow her━ the only ones who did were Merlin and Hisirdoux, who stopped by the stairs as she ran out.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I... I can't do this!" she kicked the amulet after it followed her in the air, doing her best to stay as far as possible from it.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Is this some sick human joke?!" Vendel got in Merlin's way before he could go further on following her, scaring the wizard enough for him to step back in surprise. "I believe you fleshbags have done enough damage."

ㅤㅤㅤ"We're doomed!" a troll cried.

ㅤㅤㅤ"GummGumms are coming for us," Draal approached the humans, a frown on his face. "and we've wasted time with your silly games!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"We must hide!" another troll was quick with the idea.

ㅤㅤㅤ"We all must fight as allies." Merlin protested, turning to Vendel to try and keep his encouraging flame lit.

ㅤㅤㅤ"You think just because your king gives us a shiny toy, you can buy our loyalty?" Vendel frowned, waving his free hand to make the humans back away. "Leave, and take your trinkets with you!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"This creatures will never trust me..." Arthur stared at his feet, a disappointed look on his face, as Vendel walked away with the trolls. "Why should they?" he sighed heavily and turned back, leaving with his chin down in defeat. "This was a mistake."

ㅤㅤㅤFinally, Archie flew closer to his friends and Sol ran up to them with a frown on her face━ something seemed to have gone wrong, which wasn't ━and shouldn't be━ a part of their plan.

ㅤㅤㅤ"The amulet chose Callista?" Archie tried to understand why that was so bad that all trolls were mad at the amulet and the humans who brought it, sitting on a rock by Claire's side as he glanced at her with confusion.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Woah, woah, woah━" she shook her hands, worryingly looking at Jim just in case she was wrong on the information she was about to share. "wasn't Deya the first Trollhunter?"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Either way, without one, Killahead will be a bloodbath." Hisirdoux shivered just thinking of the scenario, and his tense expression made Claire cross her arms in worry and Sol play with her fingers in pure anxiety.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I think I know where Callista went." Jim tried to ease their concerns. "Claire?"

ㅤㅤㅤHis girlfriend nodded and turned around, waiting for his command to know where to create a portal to. After they were gone, Archie stood from the rock and looked over at Hisirdoux as he approached him and Sol.

ㅤㅤㅤ"What about the king?" he reminded them of even more people to worry about, raising his eyebrow in curiosity. "Doesn't history need him at Killahead as well?"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Don't worry, I'm on it!" he turned and gave a few steps to the entrance of Dwoza, then hesitated and turned back with a grin. "But, before that!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Hisirdoux, I think you should hurry," Sol frowned, raising her hands before he could approach them again. "we have no time to waste━" before she could even think of worrying about the time passing, Hisirdoux took a staff out of his bracelet by magic and swirled it around to show off. Now wide-eyed and smiling stupidly, Sol ran up to him and grabbed his staff, almost expecting it to turn into smoke in a less than fun prank. When it didn't, she gasped and turned to Archie, who was as shocked as her. "WHAT."

ㅤㅤㅤ"I know, right? I can hardly believe it myself!" Hisirdoux giggled and let Sol take hold of his staff completely, he watched with an amused smile as she turned it to analyze all sides of the staff.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Ahh, Hisirdoux!" Sol jumped over and over out of excitement ━Hisirdoux wondered, for a moment, if she had reacted that way when she gained her own staff━, then hugged him strongly and lifted him from the ground, shaking him around like a doll as he laughed joyfully, forgetting, for a moment, about the war that soon would come━ it didn't matter now, all that mattered was that Sol and Archie were happy for him and he was proud of himself. "Congratulations!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"You deserve it, my friend!" Archie joined in, finding a way to land on Sol's shoulder to then jump on top of Hisirdoux's head and mess his hair up.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Thank you, thank you!" he tried hugging them back, but his hands were stuck under Sol's arms as she still lifted him up ━and goodness gracious, either that fairy was strong as a brute or he was way too light for it to be considered healthy━.

ㅤㅤㅤHe was happy that the news of him ━finally━ being turned into a master wizard could ease their fears for a moment, Hisirdoux didn't know what would come to be after the battle and he was more than scared to find out, but ━if any buts were even capable of alleviating his own apprehension━ he still had all his friends with him, and that's all that mattered for now.

ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤ𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐗 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑'𝐒 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓 ━and Sol had to applaud him for that, because the king was as stubborn as a rock━ they were all standing in formation; Sol, as asked by Lancelot himself, stood in the front lines along with Ezekiel and Steve, the two boys stood side by side, as always, and she stood with no horse, but only a silver sword that she did not like and a clenched fist.

ㅤㅤㅤSol's anxiety was now caused by all the fairies that stood on the other side of the battlefield, surrounding Gunmar as if they were his shield and nothing else.

ㅤㅤㅤWhat was causing her even more anxiety was that she saw herself in the middle of the flock.

ㅤㅤㅤAlthough, now, at least, she knew who to fight first━ the false knight was hoping that, by knowing herself at that age, she would be capable of making past Solamon Izzet change sides, like it should be.

ㅤㅤㅤAs she planned how her own personal fight would go, a clumsy black bird with a single cat eye searched for its owner from the skies, than made his way down until it launched perfectly on a ginger's face.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Ow! Wh━" the fairy cut herself short when she saw what was now in her arms, smiling widely and hugging the crow. "You! Oh, how I missed you, dear friend."

ㅤㅤㅤ"Eh??? Sol?? Sol missed me?? Sol sick. SoL SICK! NOOO SOL IS DYING OF SICKNESS!" it worried itself━ oh, how Sol missed his exaggerated shouts. She kissed the top of his head, his beak and the feathers on his back lovingly.

ㅤㅤㅤ"I'm not sick, there's no need to worry! Now stop shouting, you stupid bird, you're calling too much attention." although mad at him, she couldn't help but to giggle. "Oh! I missed you very much!"

ㅤㅤㅤ"Yes, yes, I see that." he seemed to roll his uneven eyes and sigh. "Now STOPSTOPSTOP I HATE THIS MUCH AFFECTION COMING FROM YOU! IT'S WEIRD, STOP." she ignored the crow.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Can you give me my bracelet? I might need it now." she shook him off her arms and he landed on top of her head, searching for the marble on his stomach in silence. As she waited, Sol took one of her gloves off to be able to use the bracelet.

ㅤㅤㅤShe wasn't as worried as before, Sol knew she had her friends, and her familiar, and Hisirdoux by her side. Sol had people with her, she was far from being alone.

ㅤㅤㅤAnd she was ready for the battle.
