Rya, Dalia, and Nieren were walking down the hallways of the palace corridor towards the stairs that lead to the basement.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Please! Alpha, I'm sorry!" Dalia said as Rya pulled her ear again.
"Are you going to behave yourself? Or do I have to drag you around again?" Rya questioned as she walked beside Dalia.
"I'm sorry, Alpha! I promise to behave," Dalia replied as she stared up at Rya with her pathetic, sad, puppy dog eyes.
Nieren smirked while Rya finally relented with a sigh.
"Ok, but don't make me regret this," said Rya as she let go of Dalia's ear.
"Geez! Why are you so aggressive today?" Dalia asked as she rubbed her sore ear.
Rya stopped and turned to Dalia, abruptly stopping her in her tracks. "...2E, she found the God's Tear," She said with a coy tone while trying to hide her excitement.
"What?! So, you are saying?" asked Dalia as she quickly moved in closer to Rya to hear her whisper.
Rya broke into a lopsided smile, "We're making that damn stone. And I need one of my best friends to watch my back. So you will be coming with us."
"So, you think you can assemble the artifact? I thought you needed an Artificer to create it?" Nieren inquired curiously.
"Turns out you just need three different sources of mana to start the process of making the artifact. The Artificer just focuses and makes sure that all the mana interacts with all the correct materials in the right order and... BAM! Brand new artifact. So, I have you and Nieren. And the demonic tome has all the information on going through the process." Rya answered with a confident smirk.
"Well, if you say so, Alpha... But that demonic tome gives me the creeps!... The stench of demons is all over it." Dalia said nervously.
'It sucks that they can't read the old tome like I can. Lord Grazon has a good sense of humor in his writing... Hehe... Should I spook Dalia and Nieren?' Thought Rya as the urge to tease her friends for fun started to take hold.
"It's just a book written by some dead old demonic sage. What's the worst that could happen?" Rya shrugged as if it wasn't that big of a deal while she made her way to the basement.
Nieren looked anxious and quickly interjected, "I-I wouldn't say that last part out loud, Rya... A lot of people have been cursed by these old demonic tomes. But I choose to believe in you."
"Oh? Oh, yeah! I was wondering why there was some weird page in the tome... There was something about getting turned into a frog or something if you do the combinations wrong. I'll just double-check before starting the incantation." Rya said as she recalled the passage in the book while holding herself back from smirking.
"H-How about you triple-check it!?" Nieren suggested with a panicked look.
"Y-Yeah! I agree with Woody... I don't want to be a frog!" Dalia added with a scared expression.
"Ladies!... Ladies..." Rya said while putting her arms around Nieren and Dalia's shoulders, pulling them into a reassuring hug. "I promise to you two that nothing will go wrong. Besides, don't you two want to know what type of mana vein you have?... Come on... Have some faith in me. I'm not going at this half-assed. You have my word."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Nieren and Dalia were starting to get uncomfortable as Rya continued to squeeze them, but they both slowly nodded their heads.
