A week had passed. It had been a long week of recovery, but now it was finally over. Well… technically it had been closer to nine days, but who was counting? In the days since Valentina's creation of her new named spell, a fair amount had been done and it was safe to say that, even if it was time spent remaining within the Lukreshian ruins, it was not time wasted.
For Valentina's part, the rest of the days had been largely spent recovering as well as re-learning how her aspect worked. As it turned out, while her new form came incredibly natural to her, the same couldn't be said for all of her existing spells. With attributes shifted and her mana now behaving different from how it did before, everything the Archduchess had become familiar with now felt slightly off.
