-- To my surprise, I woke up not in the heavenly halls of Grevan, where hot forges are lit and heroes set off to battle monsters. No, instead, I learned that higher powers completely unknown to me had intervened in my fate. Upon learning the reason for my presence here, I gladly swore loyalty to my new liege, Her Highness Naria, to whom I owed my salvation. From Her, I learned that my new world is called Anuzish, possesses life and will, and is under an existential threat due to the intervention of otherworldly gods, some of whom are known for a fact to have ruined their own worlds and now wish to make another, hitherto prosperous one, their battlefield. Thus, my current mission is to prevent such a negative outcome.
-- I will not call this mission particularly noble, for there is no nobility in a guest providing support and assistance to their host, or rather, the ruler of this world, who was so kind as to feed and water me all this time, and bestow various other blessings upon me.
-- As for the rest... Well, according to the mandate, I must confess, and although such a ritual does not exist in the spiritual practices I previously knew, I have had time to familiarize myself with the rituals of Anuzish. In theory, I should criticize myself, and objectively, there is something to find. For example, I tend to give myself too strongly to my hobbies, and I sometimes think that the people surrounding me are often more empathetic than I am, which sometimes leads to wrong decisions, -- here Erefir remembered how she allowed Raphael to recruit the dangerous Metarma into the squad instead of simply pitying the actor and establishing a strict ban for his own good.
-- But also, contrary to tradition, I want to praise myself for the fact that I do not engage in propaganda and do not cause any other form of cultural harm; moreover, as far as I know, no god of my world is engaging in expansion into Anuzish: which means I carry no dangerous seeds hidden from myself. Additionally, I try to make my own positive contribution to the world even outside of my main work: I think some inhabitants of Margel can confirm this through their acquaintance with me.
-- This... Your Holiness, apparently, is my not-so-short "short" story, -- a light smile.
