"If you don't take your arm off me right now," she hissed quietly enough so as not to wake the sleeping women around her, "you won't have it for much longer." Benderast froze. "I just thought-" "You thought? Is that so?" Shaelith turned her head just enough to give him a withering look. Her lavender eyes shimmered dangerously in the dim firelight. "I doubt it. What were you thinking? That it was a good idea to get it on with me in between a dozen traumatized women who have just been rescued from a goblin…-

Chapter 14 – The Long Road Home
The first thing Shaelith noticed was the unfamiliar smell. No sweet mushroom scent, no phosphorescent spores, but pine scent and damp forest soil instead. A rough blanket scratched against her skin. Right. Still not home. She tried to sit up and that proved to be a mistake. The world tilted to one side, and her stomach immediately rebelled.Mana exhaustion. The aftereffects were almost worse than a proper moss wine hangover. They had set up a makeshift camp.The rescued women huddled together in small…-

The armored figure stepped fully into the light and the massive macesparked on the stone floor. Up close, the crimson armor seemed to pulse with a heartbeat of its own, as if it had not been forged but grown from coagulated blood. "The Princess and-" The voice sounded almost bored, but beneath it lurked something unsteady, almost crazy, like a string that had been stretched too tight. "Aah, how interesting. The Hero. Both already in one place." "Ha! He knows me!" Benderast grinned broadly. "Seems…

Chapter 12 – The Hero
That's Ben, I swear to God. It's definitely Ben. But how? Since when is he- Shaelith forced her racing thoughts to a halt. The grotesque absurdity of Ben Blomquist, standing in front of herlike some hunk from one of his Isekai animes,had to wait. Getting out of this mess had priority. Later. I can think later about why Big Ben Blumpkin now looks like the cover boy of a bodybuilding magazine. She made the decision in a split second. Whatever had brought him here, however this fucked-up situation…-

Chapter 11 – Caged
Shaelith didn't know how long they had marched them, stumbling, until they arrived at the goblin lair. It felt like days. The world seemed to consist of nothing but musty darkness and the stench of unwashed goblin bodies. Shaelith stumbled forward, blind beneath the stinking sack, her bare feet slipping over damp ground.The background noise around her was overwhelming, hundreds of goblin voices screeching, laughing, arguing with each other. Somewhere, meat sizzled over an open fire, the smell mingling…-

Chapter 10 – The Ambush
The first arrows struck them like a hailstorm full of sharp teeth. Shaelith reacted instinctively, activated her defensive glyphs and just the blink of an eye later purple energy danced across her skin and formed a shimmering barrier around them. "Shields up!" the guard captain yelled, but his order came a second too late. One of the arrows with the strange glowing crimson runes managed to penetrate the magical shield and a Shaeravyn guard staggered back while staring in disbelief at the shaft sticking…-

Chapter 9 – Wartime Diplomacy
The first thing Shaelith noticed when she woke up was the unfamiliar scent of pine resin and damp forest floor, and it was cold, at least relatively. Right. Sylvyn border fort. Not at home. Beside her, Ryzinre was breathing evenly, even though her face was half covered by her long silverish hair. The young woman from a minor house associated with House Vyrnara, who was one of the servants accompanying Shaelith, had proven to be a pleasant traveling companion. She was uncomplicated, loyal, good in…-

On her bed, between the spider-silk sheets, lay a breathtakingly beautiful male Shaeravyn. He was naked, with shimmering purple skin, well-proportioned muscles and long silver hair. Next to him was an equally naked woman and the messages braided in her lavender hair made Shaelith blush. Both of them looked up expectantly. "Luminous Shaelith," the man purred, rose up on one elbow and let his muscles flex in the soft glow of the mushrooms. "Happy Birthday! We are your present." Despite the moss…

Chapter 7 – Birthday Eve
His mother's words still echoed in Jacob's head, three days after they had fallen. Grow up, Shaelith. Soon. Tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday, or rather, Shaelith's eighteenth birthday. The date was basically meaningless to the Shaeravyn, but eighteen years in this body, as Shaelith, was a strange milestone for him. It took some effort to push those thoughts aside to concentrate on more practical concerns. The birthday banquet tomorrow was largely a purely political event. Too his great relief…-

Chapter 6 – The Presentation
When they could see again, the purple fire fizzled out with a final, defiant hiss against Jacob's protective shield and the corridor smelled of the burnt mycelium of the smoldering walls. Amateur. Whoever wants me dead definitely paid too much for this lousy job. House retainer Haeliz, who had been a part of Shaelith's escort, lay in a spreading pool of blood. A crystal shard from one of the goblets the supposed servant carried had been caught in the blast and severed his carotid artery. A quick…-
