"Mana Feliana," the name was not unfamiliar to Shard. In fact, all students of Saint Byrons knew of her. She was the founder of Saint Byrons Integrated Academy, one of the Three Great Magics Academies, and rumored to be the strongest Grand Witch who lived in the middle of the Fifth Era.
The Relic known as "Dream of Saint Byrons," which Shard had used upon admission to the academy, originated from this witch. Had she not lived so early in history, she would certainly have qualified as one of the thirteen Witch Empresses at the end of the Fifth Era.
Shard might have encountered someone with the same name, but when visiting librarian Miss Danester, he had seen a portrait of Miss Feliana on a book cover. Despite five thousand years passing, the resemblance between the portrait and the witch before him was uncannily high, which was why Shard felt she looked so familiar when he first saw her by the fire.
