NOW THINGS ARE REALLY HEATING UP!

And I ended up generating some ridiculously large number of flags, got carried away with the designs from Pinterest. ^_^

Does Erathia also choose the gender?

No

Although she understood Naria's feelings, Erefir felt a little sad that she had refused the gesture, but the leader readily took advantage of the offer to learn how to better perform her duties, listening to all the wisdom very attentively. This new skill... was, of course, quite expensive, as you can't just scrape together enough gems, but it was fantastically useful at the right moment.

-- Thank you, I think I understand. And I will take advantage of your offer to transfer the gift, -- she said in a bow, extending the "Drop of Magic". -- If you change your mind about yourself, or want to place an order, please remember me. I recently also received a watchmaker's certificate, so my profile has even expanded.

-- It seems I missed another important question. Has the problem with the rebellious priest already been resolved? Did he have any connection with the attacker? After this, I will not bother you anymore.

- You can be sure that this gift will reach the person it was intended for. The priest... he was never found. Unlike the boy who relied on animal instincts, in his attack and the subsequent escape, he demonstrated considerable cunning and strategic thinking.

- Фух, - выдохнула Беата, откидывая карандаш и блокнот, - я устала.
 - Да... Та ещё разминка, не столько для рук, сколько для мозга, - хмыкнул Гийон.
 - Сколько у тебя получилось?
 - Четыре штуки придумал.
 - О, я тоже.
 - Давай, жги.
 - Вот. Это Белик, как я обещала. Мне кажется, Килике что-то такое может понравиться.
 - О, и правда очень мило!
 - Да. Я думаю назвать это...

Пушистая нежность

 - Да, очень милое и подходящее название!
 - Ага. А ещё я про Эклипса не забыла.
 - Тоже хорошо вышло. Отлично передаёт, как мы тогда летели над горами.
 - Мгм, так и называется...

Чувство полёта

 - Прекрасно. Думаю, Эрефир оценит.
 - А теперь ты что-нибудь своё покажи.
 - Вот. Мне хотелось придумать что-то обнадёживающее, знаешь? Светлое и вдохновляющее. После этой истории с центром города, с Кридеаром... Я назвал это...

Новый рассвет

 - Чудесно. Я всегда говорила и буду говорить, что ты романтик.
 - Ну 😅 А что у тебя там дальше?
 - А вот. Брюлики. Они так красиво сверкают, особенно радужные, которые нам Высочество подарила. И Айко любила возиться с брюликами. И Оррос, благодаря зачарованиям которого ты завалил Безнадёгу.
 - Беат, мы завалили, мы все...
 - Но финальный удар нанёс ты, и это было красиво! В любом случае... Драгоценные камни - штука важная.

Волшебные сокровища

 - Не ярковато ли?
 - Ничего-ничего! Если краска ткань не возьмёт на такую яркость, можно будет доработать, но я вижу именно так!
 - Ты художник, ты так видишь.
 - Ага. ну да что я о себе да о себе. У тебя там же явно что-то ещё есть, показывай.
 - Ну 😅 В последний месяц мы только и делали, что читали. Книги, книги, книги...

Источник знаний

 - Мнда, Гийоша, а ты ещё на своих соплеменников ругаешься, что они душнилы и задроты.
 - Эй, ну 😅 Тебе же тоже понравилось читать.
 - Да я подкалываю. Чтение реально отличным хобби оказалось. Выматывающее, но очень вознаграждающее.
 - Вознаграждающее!
 - Ой всё. Так, а это что у тебя? Не мрачновато ли?
 - Ну... Вообще да. Я немножко сомневаюсь, стоит ли это показывать, оно слишком... Не в настроение. Сейчас хочется чего-то весёлого и жизнеутверждающего, но после всего дерьма, что случилось в последние полгода, я не могу не думать... Мне хотелось как-то выплеснуть всё то горе, все те смерти наших друзей, что мы пережили, как нас самих чуть не убили. Я не знаю... Я не уверен, что это уместный дизайн.

Помни о смерти

 - Ну, дизайн очень мрачный, но я считаю - уместный и очень красивый. Скорее всего, его оценят ребята из гильдии философов. И Гаррет. Или даже сестра Базелла. Что все мы там будем, это неизбежно и бла-бла-бла.
 - Ты права. Кто-то может найти успокоение и в этих мрачных мыслях. Кому-то даже станет легче. Ладно, я поделюсь нашими соображениями, покажу дизайн, но если Александра не примет, расстраиваться не буду.
 - Примет-примет! Я подключу весь свой шарм и красноречие! 😤 В крайнем случае, пусть не вывешивает сам флаг, а только табличку с ценником сделает, чтобы не задеть никого. Но этот флаг должен быть создан!
 - Ты лучшая. Но если что, у меня есть и более лёгкие варианты. Рассвет и вот.

Домашний завтрак

 - О, отлично! Это де по мотивам вашей с Аларией готовки?
 - Да. Что-то такое, лёгкое и позитивное, что настраивает на нужный лад и пробуждает аппетит.
 - Отлично. Ну и я своё последнее покажу. Во.

Горная охотница

 - Это очень красиво, не пойми меня неправильно, но мне кажется, гарпии выглядят немного иначе...
 - Да какая разница. Я художник, я так вижу.
 - И откуда у них одежда?
 - Сперва я нарисовала её голой, но потом решила прикрыть срам. Всё-таки нас просили оставаться в рамках приличий, да и закон этот о закрытой одежде не приняли, но сторонников у него было много.
 - Звучит логично. Ладно, пошли сдаваться?
 - А пошли.

Парочка идёт сдаваться в Орнамент.

I don't know whether to be disappointed that the Alarian tapestry isn't fire, or happy that it isn't stockings.

Great idea, I'll make a flag with stockings.

I had a couple more ideas, but I couldn't find suitable clip art, and overall, I've been working on these flags for a long time, so I decided to do it this way for now. But the harpy suddenly appeared when I was looking for a Pegasus, and I really liked this line art. As for the Pegasus, it was tough; I barely found something decent, dynamic, and not terrible. I was already thinking of creating the line art myself, I was so desperate, but what stopped me was that I'm very bad at drawing horses, and I would still have to use references and spend just as much time on references as I would on finding clip art, lol.

But the harpy suddenly appeared when I was looking for a Pegasus, and I really liked that line.

It will give bonuses against Heidi.

"Actually, I would like to ask about the uniform. I was a little shy about it last time, and I didn't have time. It looks quite unusual, even though it suits her. A colorful hospital with colorful staff. But will I distract her and myself from work with such conversations? I am a bit of a workaholic, but nevertheless. And I can ask about it during another break."

Well, I mostly just designed the flag for the Necropolis faction, having some idea of what it might look like (you thought I was joking?), and considering the flag inspired by Mysterius, we can also assume something similar for Belik. Although, a harpy could actually provide buffs against aerial units for the Sylvan faction, lol. But it's up to Reven to decide. For me, the effects of the first set of flags were a surprise, but I liked what he came up with.

- You can be sure that this gift will reach the person it was intended for. The priest... he was never found. Unlike the boy who relied on animal instincts, in his attack and the subsequent escape, he demonstrated considerable cunning and strategic thinking.

"Now we need to figure out how to deliver the gift to His Holiness. And hope that the Sovereign changes his mind about..."

"The last part sounds as if I was wrong and there is no connection between the boy and the priest, but it is still strange that the first one tries to decapitate the Church, and then the second one attacks the country itself. At the very least, we can assume that the holy man is now conducting mass indoctrination somewhere, trying to get to know adventurers, stirring them up and goading them, not hoping that they will succeed in something impossible, but simply to increase the amount of chaos. Since he is such a great strategist, this sounds like something that can be achieved with very little effort, so why not... He would probably be surprised at how effective it turned out to be, and that is bad... We would also like to have some kind of similar plan against Farrellia."

"By the way, in theory, we have dragons. The affairs of the Church are one thing, the wars in which Welfern is the aggressor are another, but we did not provoke Farrellia, will the king remain on the sidelines here too?"

Still, the fury decided not to ask any more questions, deciding to give the Sovereign a well-deserved rest.

-- Thank you, -- a bow. -- Today I learned a lot, it is time to know the limits. Now I hope to see your glorious coronation.

—You mentioned a topic that is very close to me. However, I cannot connect it with fate, as I had a rough idea of what might be discussed when I accepted the task. ...It so happened that I am from Kridar. In recent days, I have also been involuntarily raising the question of preserving memory. When a person's soul returns to the embrace of the goddess-mother, fragments of it remain on earth in the hearts of loved ones and friends, but in the case of my homeland, there are essentially none left in this world. —The knight's pale face now expressed a deep, ambiguous emotion, which obviously went unnoticed by the hostess. ...—Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't have many acquaintances in Margel about whom I could speak in this context. But if that satisfies you, I can tell you about the people of Kridar.

- I offer my condolences, Klin... Being from Margel, I cannot imagine what it is like to lose not only loved ones and acquaintances but even your homeland overnight... But yes, your offer suits me. I think these people deserve to be known and remembered.

—I'll manage,—the Tanarrian smiled understandingly,—among other reasons, that's why I decided to offer.

- Great, then I'll be looking forward to it.
Now there was enough time for everything.

The couple is going to submit their designs to Ornament.

Alexandra examined the designs proposed by the couple with great interest.
- Oh, how cute... Are you both designers by profession, by any chance?

—Thank you,—she bowed.—Today I learned a lot, and it's time to take my leave. I hope to see your glorious coronation.

The princess does not detain Erefir and allows her to return to her affairs.

Alexandra examined the designs that the couple had presented with great interest.
- Oh, how cute... Are you both designers by profession?

- Unfortunately, - Beata spread her hands. - Sometimes I think it would be great to learn how to draw, but somehow the circumstances don't allow it.
- We draw inspiration from what surrounds us and from what has happened to us; we travel a lot and have seen a lot, - Guion shared. - I've noticed that creative activity, any creative process, whether it's design, cooking, or even keeping a diary, helps to organize thoughts and cope with stress, to somehow express feelings and emotions.
- And I just enjoy it when people like what I do. I want to try hard, to continue doing more and better. I feel that... - "that I can be of some use," she wanted to say, but noticing Guion's gaze, she corrected herself, - ...that I am useful to society and make my contribution to its prosperity... And so on.

The girl leaves the villa. "Hmm, the more I achieve, the more I want. Now I want to shoot down Nephilim airships with a sword and put a priest in his place... And now I want to please the Suzerain even more. Haha, someday I'll break, or maybe I should change my approach and stop relying so much on myself." "A new phase of the war with Nephilim is approaching, and in addition to preparing myself and my squad, we may have options to help the Empire and Her Highness prepare for it. The ideal outcome for us is a quick and glorious victory with almost no civilian casualties. I'm not asking what I can do to help with this preparation; it's clear. What can the others do? Let's have a brainstorming session with the guys today." Right now, the knight goes to Carnelian, takes some Sarian furniture (she tells Kilike and Garrett why she's doing it, so they're aware of the possibility of selling the furniture), puts it on her shoulders, takes a smaller globe of Anush, and heads to the SRI.

- Alas, - Beata spread her hands. - Sometimes I think it would be great to learn how to draw, but somehow the circumstances don't work out.
- We draw inspiration from what surrounds us and from what has happened to us; we travel a lot and see a lot, - Gillon shared. - I noticed that creative activity, any creative process, whether it's design, cooking, or even keeping a diary, helps to organize thoughts and cope with stress, to somehow express feelings and emotions.
- And I just enjoy it when people like what I do. I want to try, to continue to do more and better. I feel that... - "that I am at least somewhat useful," she wanted to say, but noticing Gillon's gaze, she corrected herself, - ...that I bring benefit to society and make my contribution to its prosperity... And so on.

- This is very commendable and extremely interesting! To be honest, I'm even a little envious, because in my life, almost no interesting events happen, which means there aren't that many sources of inspiration... Unless, of course, you consider the destruction of the city center to be an event... You can't really get inspired by something like that. - Alexandra gives the couple 800 repair units. - Thank you! Be sure that your creations will adorn the walls of many residents of this city!

Kilike and Garret are told why this is being done, so they are aware of the possibility of donating furniture.

- I wouldn't mind, but I doubt I can deliver it myself... So please tell the SRI workers that if they have free hands, they can come and pick it up.

takes a smaller globe of Anuzish and goes to the SRI.

And arrives there.
