"Adjusting oneself? This truly is a judgment upon oneself."
Shard murmured softly, picking up the cat from behind his head and letting it rest on his lap. Mia lazily squinted her eyes, it was unclear whether she was dozing or had fallen asleep.
"Did you try it?"
Luviya asked again, while Iluna sadly shook her head, her brown hair swaying slightly:
"I had intended to spend some wealth to try and make the scars on my arm disappear. But the court requires three people to use it, and one of them must possess the 'Balance' Spirit Rune."
In Iluna's core Spirit Runes was "Balance." It hadn't been there before; it appeared suddenly on the second night after she became The Chosen One. This was also the first case Shard encountered where one could obtain core Spirit Runes even after being appointed a Circle Sorcerer.
