Stella poked her head out of Vurs snout. Wind blew past her face, causing her hair to wave in the wind. She turned around and waved. Vurs golden slit eyes narrowed and focused on Stella. Whats up? he asked.
Nothing really, Stella said and glanced at the Recordkeeper, who was sitting on Vurs head. I was just wondering if it was a good idea to leave Tafel alone with the cursed dragons.
Vur blinked. Shes not alone, he said. The phoenixes are with her, and Ramon and Leila arent cursed dragons.
Stella frowned. Thats not what I ant, she said. She scratched her head. I an, is it okay for you to travel around with the Recordkeeper by yourself?
Vur furrowed his brow. Im not by myself, he said. Youre here. He rolled his eyes up to glance at the Recordkeeper. After staring at her for a bit, he rolled his eyes back down. Even if I were alone, I could still easily beat her. She cant do anything to .
Thats not what I ant, Stella said again. She shook her head. You know what? Never mind. I think I was thinking too much. She snapped her fingers at the Recordkeeper, causing the winged woman to tilt her neck downwards.
Snapping is a rude way of attracting soones attention, the Recordkeeper said. If you want to pay attention to you, call my na or wave at . When she was done speaking, the Recordkeeper raised her head and stared at the clouds in sky.
Stella sighed before placing her hands on her hips. Recordkeeper.
The Recordkeeper lowered her head again and nodded at Stella. Yes?
You know things, right? Stella asked. Whats a way to make a genie grow faster after hes granted soone a wish? Is there like a special water or so type of soil that can speed up the process?
The Recordkeeper stroked her chin and furrowed her eyebrow. Let think.
Do you miss rvin? Vur asked and tilted his head, causing the Recordkeeper to shriek. She flapped her wings and clutched onto Vurs scales to prevent herself from falling off. Vur righted his head and continued staring at Stella, pretending as if he hadnt almost lost his passenger.
Stellas face flushed red, and she glared at Vur. I dont miss him, she said. I was just wondering, jeez. She dipped back inside of Vurs snout, hiding from view. After a minute, a portion of her head poked back outjust enough for her mouth to be exposed. Well? Is there a way?
The Recordkeeper exhaled. Theres a way, she said. Genies grow faster if the soil theyre planted in is soaked in armadillo urine.
Stella blinked, and her eyes rolled down to observe Vurs expression. Lets say, uh, theres a genie planted in Vurs soul, she said. Do you think armadillo urine will still work?
Sure, the Recordkeeper said. As long as you find a way for an armadillo to urinate inside of Vurs soul, I dont see why it wouldnt work. As for how youll manage to do that, theres no records about it. Vurs soul is a huge anomaly, and youre an expert in that field compared to .
Stellas arm rose out of Vurs scale to scratch her head. So, Vur, what are your thoughts on
Im not drinking armadillo pee, Vur said, glaring at Stella.
The fairy queen coughed twice. Thats not what I was going to ask, she said. I was going to ask if you wanted to eat an armadillo. Speaking of which, whats an armadillo? Where do they live?
They used to be widespread throughout the western continent, the Recordkeeper said. But after it was discovered that eating their flesh could improve ones health and strength, they were hunted to near extinction. You can search the western continent for them, but honestly, I doubt youll have any luck. A lightbulb appeared over the Recordkeepers head. Although, there is an auction being held soon where rich people et to buy and sell things but mostly to make connections and stroke their own egos.
An auction? Stella asked. She glanced at Vur. Do you have any money? Lets go ask Lindyss.
Vur snorted. Deedee can grow money out of the ground, he said. We dont need to bother Auntie.
Thats not exactly what I do, Diamant said from the runes on Vurs leg. Unfortunately, he was too far away to be heard.

Lulu frowned and rolled her eyes up to look at Lindyss. Is this really necessary? the holy dragon asked. There was a large chunk of ice placed in the middle of her forehead, and Lindyss was sitting on top of it.
Its absolutely necessary, Lindyss said. I dont want to be tainted by whatever youve got going on.
Lulu snorted. I already stopped the spreading with my holy magic, she said. My head is cold.
Dont give that nonsense excuse. You live in a frozen wasteland, Lindyss said. Even if you say whatever you have isnt spreading anymore, Im not going to risk it. What if I turn green as well? I have a lot of outfits, but none of them are ant to be worn by a green person.
I really do get cold! Lulu said. Our ho might be located in a frozen wasteland, but its warm on the inside! Youve been there. Is my health really less important than your fashion?
Absolutely, Lindyss said. Under normal circumstances, Id prioritize your health, but you brought this upon yourself. Who told you to ss with things that have obvious warning signs around them? If sothing is sealed, dont you think you should leave it sealed?
I was curious!
You know what they say about curiosity.
That great discoveries have been made because of it?
Lindyss expression darkened. Unless you want to greatly discover what if feels like to be beaten by your mom, youll shut up and fly.
Lulu grumbled and gave Lindyss a dirty look. Are you sure Grimmy can solve my problem?
Grimmy is great at creating problems, Lindyss said. The only reason he isnt dead is because hes equally as good at solving them.
