☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- So, neither you nor your princesses and patriarchs even considered this, even though it's obvious that my country owes nothing to yours, and we don't care about your hopeless little dragon.
She sighed, then turned her gaze to Kilika. - And what are you doing with them? Stay home. Why put yourself through unnecessary pain?
Sitting on the floor, she lowered her head and hands to him. - Founder, despite all my love for my homeland and my boundless gratitude to you for your protection and the prosperity you have bestowed, "Carnelian" has become a second home to me, and I want to help them to the best of my modest abilities.
- That's a pity.

Kilika receives

Immunity to Air.
Reduces Despair's Dodge to 0 and Skill Points to 10 if the character with this blessing is on the map.
Nullifies Despair's Air Affinity.

- May it serve you well. That way, I'll have a clear conscience, and my pride won't be hurt.

Beata sighed disappointedly, biting her lip. Yes, a truly great, damn diplomat...
Gillon looked dejected beside her. He should have been a little more assertive. He knew that Beata was not used to talking to people of this caliber and was understandably flustered.
- Thank you for your kindness, understanding, and generosity, - Beata finally bowed, regaining her composure.
- And yet, - Gillon's voice strengthened, and he straightened his shoulders. - We are very embarrassed about this... incident. Please accept this humble offering from all of us, - he detaches "Starfall" and presents it to the tigress. - As a sign of our gratitude for your help, for your kindness. You have shown great generosity, and it is right for us to reciprocate. This unusual blade was forged from cosmic ore by one of the most talented blacksmiths of Welfern, our leader and our battle companion. It is indestructible and can be used to strike enemies from a distance with great speed.
"It would have helped us a lot against the dragon, but... it's not right. She's right. We came here, demanding something... if it weren't for Kilika..."
Beata shook her head. Gillon, you fool... But on the other hand, he's right.
- My friend has said it well, - she nodded. - Please accept this gift as a token of our appreciation for your help.
"And as payment for the trouble."
