Learning Alchemy!

It has already been two weeks since we saw Katarina go off in her own. By that time, I had told her to take good care of herself while I gave her a big Wolf Monster Undead to carry her around the world. Since then, every week, she had sent me a magical message through the device I gave to her, a small crystal ball attached to a necklace she had as my parting gift.
"Just yesterday I got inside a port city named Belle, where it is not so cold anymore! Me and Darky are going to go off to another continent now. I've lived my entire life in Midgard, but I really want to see what other places all are about. Thanks to your help, I don't even look like an Undead to other people, so this is like my first time being treated like a normal person as well… Thanks a lot for everything you've done for me, Maria! I guess I can already forgive you for killing me back then. I'll come see you one day, maybe!"
