Gorgon Empire, Flying Fortress of Nestamaath, Capitol of the Empire.
In the days following Windfell's threat, Solus had saved most of her energy and avoided using magic whenever possible.
Now that she kept her ring form most of the time and with the vigorous flow of world energy from the control towers surrounding Nestamaath, her energy expenditure was minimal.
While waiting for the city to fly over a mana geyser, she had Tista carry the stone ring while she visited the city. This way, she would still enjoy her life as a tourist and watch Tista's back at all times.
She still assumed her human form during the meals. Eating was the only pleasure that she wouldn't give up.
During that time, Solus would ask Dawn for advice about how to put a healthy distance between her and Lith while the Horseman listened to Solus' past mistakes and planned to use that knowledge to bridge the lack of trust between her and Zepho.
