The entire Cigar Castle was filled with jubilation, and amidst their bustling work, every servant ceaselessly praised Lady Nico, the Great Tobacco Sprite.
Russell stood on the castle's grand terrace, with Nico flying beside him.
Unicorn Polly, Harpies Hape, and Ouroboros, all came to the terrace, curiously observing Nico; even the Black Oil Dragon Ross, coiled around the Dragon Coiling Pillar, had turned his head to reflect Nico's figure in his elongated pupils.
"What an interesting and magical creature indeed," Polly remarked, staring at Nico, who looked like a doll, full of admiration.
Hape said nothing but scrutinized Nico with a discerning eye.
Ouroboros swayed his tail, muttering in his mind, "Nico has evolved too. I wonder when it will be my turn. I'm looking forward to it."
"What a big horse!" Nico exclaimed as she looked at Polly and then innocently asked, "Can I ride on your back?"
"Hm," Russell raised an eyebrow.
