Point of View: Lilia Greyrat The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

Central Continent, Asura Kingdom, Fittoa Region

It had been exactly one year since the birth of my daughter, Aisha Greyrat, and Zenith's daughter, Norn Greyrat. A year, and I still wondered how much my life had changed in such a short time. I, Lilia Greyrat, the woman who almost ruined the Greyrat family's life, was now a part of it, and everything I did seemed tied to this strange twist of fate.

He forgave me. After everything I did, after who I was, he forgave me. I didn't know how to process it at the time. I couldn't understand it, but I knew that something in me, something in my heart, had shifted.

Rudeus. That boy who had always made me uneasy, who frightened me with his intelligence since birth, a mix of innocence and wisdom, had saved me. Saved both me and my daughter. That boy, whom I believed incapable of understanding the world around him with those enigmatic eyes of his, became my savior. I owed him everything. Of course, I also owed Zenith for allowing me to stay, and I would never forget that either. What they did for me, for Aisha—it was as if they had granted me a second life.

From that day onward, I made a decision: I would raise my daughter to serve him. After all, she wouldn't even exist if not for him. She was still young, yes, but she already displayed an intelligence I hadn't expected from such a small child. I worried about it a little, knowing that Zenith's daughter, Norn, didn't share the same vigor or curiosity. I felt it was my responsibility to teach Aisha to respect her sister, so she wouldn't grow arrogant.

At that moment, the two of them were seated at the table, eating porridge. Aisha, always lively, was more focused on playing with a toy that, without my noticing, she had stolen from Norn. "Aisha, you must treat Miss Norn with respect!" I said, taking the toy and returning it to Norn, trying to maintain authority. Aisha looked annoyed at my scolding but soon sighed and gazed out the window as if wishing to escape the situation. I followed her gaze, distractedly, toward the sky.

It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining and a gentle breeze in the air. But as I kept looking, I noticed something strange. The sky in the direction of Roa, the city governing the Fitoa region, was growing darker. Sinister clouds were forming, spreading in vibrant and bizarre colors across the horizon. A tightening sensation gripped my chest. I didn't know what it was, but I felt it wasn't normal.

I grabbed Aisha and Norn, holding them close to my chest, trying to ward off the growing sense of dread. Aisha seemed excited by the sight, captivated by the sky's strange movements, but I was uneasy. It was a bad omen—something terrible was about to happen.
