Leilana must have
read through the notes that Hinju provided half a dozen times now, and she
still couldn’t comprehend melding human emotions with magic. There was so much
about the concept that seemed off-putting. The radio on her desk was blaring,
the discussion heavy on news of the kingdom of Linmus. The details were nearly
lost before she decided to acknowledge the static-filled device.
“It
has been five days since the kingdom of Linmus was struck. No one is certain of
the circumstances, and there appear to be no survivors from the castle grounds,
with few having fled the city limits. Among the fallen are King Somano Vesarus
and Queen Rira Lurin-Vesarus. The only remaining heir to the throne, Prince
Remiel, has been declared missing-”
Leilana
reached for the dial of her pocket radio and turned it down to a lower setting,
continuing to look over her notes. She was stumped on the field of laughter.
There were so many interpretations that Hinju could have specified for his
notions, and instead, he stuck to the most literal statement.
Laughter is the expression of true happiness.
Encountering someone that may possess the totem of laughter is most evident in
how they carry themselves—they walk in the present, ignoring the past and
looking to the future with open arms.
Come
on, seriously? How many people still had reasons to laugh and be merry with war
at their doorstep? How could they live a life where the future wasn’t even
guaranteed?
Closing
the spiral-bound notebook, she turned the radio up to listen to the news about
Linmus again to find infomercials about ‘the land of sunny springs, Kinsley’
playing. They were holding a formal to shed some light in the world of chaos.
It wasn’t the first time she had heard of Kinsley, but from acquired knowledge,
it wasn’t her ideal vacation spot. Too much sun was bad for the skin.
She
laid her head on her desk, giving a passing glance to the open window, where
the school’s pride stood gallantly in the form of a mahogany tree. The skyline
reflected a melodious blend of ginger, rose and amber, the premature light
hovering over Adrylis promising a bright start to this pilgrimage she was
granted. She turned to look over her room. It was minuscule but fit for one due
to its custom options. Her floor was scattered in paperwork here and there, the
wall space taken up with quotes she had written down from her professors:
‘Inspiration is everywhere.’
‘Magic stems from the comprehension of
others.’
‘Happiness is not one note.’
Every
moment spent in determination, every step in any direction held meaning. That
was something she had come to learn through her time cooped up in this room,
bound to her elements, spending each day diligently reviewing magical spells
and the mystic word of Lasette. This would be her last time in this room as a
student. When she set foot in this tiny space she called home again, she would
be either a Warlord or a failure. She didn’t want to consider being trapped as
a lowly Arcana for all eternity. Such a fate seemed too cruel with so much
possibility at her doorstep.
The Final Lesson
The Final Lesson Book 1
"Trust none but yourself."
Leilana Erovina's got a bid for power as she takes the final test to become
one of her realm's Warlords. As such, she sets out to travel the
lands of Adrylis and log magical totems from respectful folk with
only one hitch—no ancestral help. The quest is a pilgrimage to
learn the basics of human nature. Some would call concepts like
gentleness and passion fables of the heart.

In another perspective, war brews in the kingdom of Linmus, throwing
Adrylis into chaos. Prince Remiel Vesarus finds himself in exile,
vengeance on his mind for those who tore his life asunder. His
attendant Solus Brenner at his side, they plan on restoring their
kingdom against all odds.

Fate has drawn these two parties together. Conjoined at the hip, the
