To Rephe's question, Valerie shrugged. "The girl herself said it was quite normal where she came from. She was fundamentally not made of magic, but now she is. I see no problem with this at all. Even if the veil was crossed, it only happened once in thousands of years."
The white dragon shook her head and gave Valerie a wry smile. "You can always be so carefree, but no matter how strong you are, there will come a time when you seek help from others. It has already happened, no?"
Bery wondered what Rephe was talking about and why the dragon was looking at her specifically.
Rephe took a sip from her wooden mug. "You haven't told her anything about yourself have you?"
Valerie sighed. "I have told her things when she asked for them. It's not like I want to hide my past from her, but I can't force topics that don't need forcing. Isn't that what led you to your own desolation?"
