Perhaps it would be easier to conjure Light and Nature Element spells from now on.

As of now, Light was the hardest because I don\'t have a skill in my Skill List that could let me conjure the element automatically, like Agriculture or Ember. With that, I have to learn it from scratch. Then again, I\'m getting pretty fine at it if I do say so myself.

"You like it?" mother asked as she watched me wear the ring.

"I do! It looks as pretty as your eyes, mommy," I said in response.

"O-Oh my… Really? Fufu…" My mom, flattered by my words, giggled adorably.

My mother was indeed a beauty amongst beauties when I saw her more closely… one would grow used to their parent\'s appearances after growing up, but comparing them to the many people I meet in my previous life was very hard. The two of them were just incredibly beautiful.

This makes me, once more, wonder how come there\'s only pretty people in this world? Everyone\'s just pretty… I guess except for Furoh… but he\'s beautiful inside.

"Now you really look like an elven princess with all those accessories," Nepheline could not help but say with a giggle.

"R-Really?" I wondered.

"Yeah, you\'re ready to inherit the elven kingdom now and sit on the throne! Hahaha," said father with a chuckle soon after.

"I-I will do my best!" I replied.

"Wait! No, don\'t try to do that… don\'t joke around with stuff like that, Allan," Mother sighed.

"Oh… S-Sorry." Of course, father quickly apologized.

"What\'s so wrong with the kingdom?" I asked.

"Well… This is… hmm. It\'s complicated…" mother could only say that.

Ah, I better not follow up on this. I don\'t want to bother my mother.

I better ask her some other time. Today\'s my birthday after all.

Zack suddenly walked near me as he looked at me shyly. For some reason, he suddenly grew red as a tomato.

"I-I couldn\'t find anything as great… as you. Nor something really deserving… but I made something with the help of Ninhursag…" he said.

"Ninhursag?" I asked.

Zack nodded as he took out a bracelet from his pocket. It was made of the leather and scales of an actual Thunderous Tyrannosaur. It even had small fangs and markings engraved on it.

It was quite finely made for something he crafted with her. Though, it was quite surprising that both of them would join hands to gift me something.

I wish Ninhursag could have come.

"This is so pretty… thank you, Zack! I will make sure to also thank Ninhursag when I see her," I said as I wore the bracelet.

"Ooh, it\'s pretty. I can also detect some magic on it," said my mother.

"Yeah, good work, Zack," said Nepheline as she gave a thumbs up.

"I\'m glad you could make her something. Next time, don\'t shy away from asking for our help as well," said Shade.

"I used to wear leather and fang accessories back then as well," father could not help but add something to the conversation.

"Good work, I guess," said Aquarina while blushing a bit.

"Haha… I-I didn\'t expect that it would be so accepted… Ninhursag told me she enchanted it with the power of the forest… she also told me that it might also resist lightning," Zack added.

"Ohhh… I see! Thanks a lot, Zack!" I replied as I hugged him tightly and petted his head.

"W-Whaaaa?!"

He cried in surprise as he got all stiff and became even redder than before.

I think this was the first time I showed him this affection, but he was honestly a good boy and I wanted to hug him to thank him.

"I also want a hug…" murmured Aquarina.

"But I already gave you a bunch!" I said in response.

"M-More!" she said.

"Aquarina, don\'t be too spoiled, alright?" her mother could not help but say with a sigh.

"Good job, Zack," Shade said soon after as he petted the boy\'s head.

For a moment, I was certain I saw Zack\'s ears release steam. Plus, he seemed to avert his gaze from me every time he could… I shouldn\'t have hugged him. He\'s way too shy sometimes…

After the gifts, we decided to eat cake. I was waiting for this the entire day. After all, I loved my mother\'s cake the most. The cake was soft and not that dry. Plus, she used fruit juice to make it moist. The cream on top of it was also milky and soft, so good… also, the fresh fruits between the layers were wonderful as well.

The combination of flavors really hit the spot! I ate at least five pieces myself until my mother stopped me and told me to wait for tomorrow\'s breakfast.

The night was already pretty late, so my parents told us to prepare to go to bed.

I was also tired and wanted to sleep on my bed for the rest of the night…

The exhaustion was taking over my body. After taking a warm bath, I jumped on my bed.

Aquarina and Zack were given beds at each side of my own, so they were sleeping in my room.

Aquarina wanted to come sleep on my bed all the time, but I told her that she had to sleep on her bed.

"I wanna cuddle…" she muttered.

Sigh… after acting so mature and cool earlier, she went back to her baby mode.

Well, she\'s technically still a baby girl, so I can understand that.

"Aquarina, stop being so clingy. Let Sylph sleep on her bed by herself," Zack told her.

"S-Shut up…" replied Aquarina.

"Come on, don\'t fight now… I\'m so tired… I\'ll sleep for now, alright? You two also close your eyes and sleep!" I told them.

"Okay… good night," replied Aquarina.

"I\'m tired too…" muttered Zack.

As I closed my eyes and slept, I found myself inside my Soul Scape.

In there, something was happening.

A large mass of purple mist and black darkness was emerging atop the skies of the grasslands…

Naturia, Ignatius, and Furoh looked at the skies with me.

Alice was by my side as well…
