Requiem

A/N: We finally got the novel a rating! Thank you to everyone who left a review. Enjoy the extra release!

As the sun eased into the western mountains, I sighed and settled back on my hands, legs tucked away to my side. The strength given me by Life's Grace had finally begun to fade, and our efforts throughout the day left me feeling slow and lethargic, but a profound sense of satisfaction filled me. R'lissea looked similarly exhausted, but a small, satisfied smile showed she felt the same.

"What are you going to call it?" Elise asked curiously.

The golden-haired princess had stuck with us all day, and even though she couldn't help with the spell, continued to support us. She'd improved her own grasp of arrays and had somehow pushed her soul to the final threshold of the fifth level. Just a little more, and she could break through to sixth.

R'lissea shot me a questioning glance, but I shrugged.
