Fallacy walked through the gate to encre's home. She still wore what she had been given on the last day during her personal ceremony. It was heavy and she noticed how she grew weaker by the minute due to the lack of magic in the air. She would soon be unable to move due to the heavy jewels she wore. She knew where the jeweller was in the castle and knew she had to race against the clock to get down there. Hurrily walked through the corridors of the castle people started in shock unable to recognise her even her dog, who came running the second they found her smell. Even they doubted for a minute if it was, in fact, their owner. At first, no one stopped her thinking she was there to see encre, but soon they didn't stop her because her dogs were walking with her. But then again it wasn't like they could stop her since they were too exhausted from the blood moon to move at her speed. She eventually came down to the jeweller's workshop startling him and panting almost as fast as her dogs as she bent over holding her knees to support her weight. He scrambled and looked at her shocked. It took him a few minutes to recognise her as he took in her decorated form and the beauty of the garments. but he had to do a double take when he looked at her face.

"Please get the jewels off of me. They weigh more than me and we have to cut them off," She said through her pants. He looked at her surprised then went to examine the jewels.

"I didn't realize it was you, Fallacy," He came to a realisation as he took a metal cutter and made an opening behind her neck getting off the jewels. He called in two guards who hurried in and helped.

"How could you walk with this?" One guard asked huffing as he had to use all his strength to lift them even with the help of another guard and the jeweller. Fallacy looked at him visibly exhausted a small bead of sweat rolling down her forehead.

"I'm more interested in why and how they were welded onto your body. I've never met anyone capable of that," The jeweller said as he cut another chain. They got it off of her completely after that and it now lay on the floor in its full glory.

"I think that is the biggest amount of gold and gemstones I've seen in one place, " The jeweller said. Fallacy let out a dry laugh as she took a purse that was fastened to her waist with a silk belt.

"Then I have a surprise for you," She said. The purse fits comfortably onto the palm of her hand and she opened it. She could fit her entire arm into it as she rummaged through thought and took offerings from the fourth day. She grabbed a basket filled with gold ingots and pearls. The basket was bigger than the opening of the purse yet she got it out to the horror and amazement of the jeweller and guards.

"Wh-what? How?" the jeweller asked. Fallacy looked at him and took out more of them making the purse so much lighter but the room filled with luxury goods. She even took out two bones with dried meat and gave each of her dogs a bone. They took it and waited patiently for the command allowing them to eat.

"I won't tell you where I spend the last week but just know I am not a commoner even though I prefer their way of life," She said and got up with ease. Though she was tired and it started showing. The jeweller looked at her bewildered.

"What do I do with all this?" The jeweller asked. Fallacy just looked at him exhausted.


"For now, store it, please. I will take care of it tomorrow," She said and walked out with her dogs in toe. She walked down the hall wondering where diaran was but knowing the bird, she was probably flying over the castle. It preferred to live in solitude and only show up when needed. It was noon on the day after a blood moon with a solid layer of snow outside. Bloodmoons rarely happen during the winter, but this one did. Encre had just gotten up and walked through the halls to see the state of his home. Thought he was pleasantly surprised by his love. He looked at fallacy saw the beautiful clothing she wore, what appeared to be drawn patterns on her delicate face, and noticed that her bones were darker than when she had left. The scar that he had given her over her eyes was almost gone and now looked like a birthmark. Overall she was visibly healthier now. She yawned her eyes almost closed, and he managed to catch her before she fell on the floor. He smiled softly at her looking down as he pulled her closer to his chest and picked her up in one swift movement. He carried her to his room and placed her beautiful and small frame on his comparably ginormous and soft bed.
