Chapter 72

Becky and Lyssa ride a guvre through stormy skies, terrified and unsure. When Becky orders a landing, the guvre flips, forcing them to fall. In a split-second rescue, Blade arrives on his dragon, Fluffy, and they land safely. Becky, shaken, embraces Blade, relieved he is alive.

Blade explains he awakened when starlight magic flooded the manor and chased after the guvre. He believes the guvre intentionally released Becky and Lyssa after seeing him in pursuit. Becky challenges the risk, but they turn their focus to Lyssa, who wanders toward an unusual grove.

Following Lyssa through glowing weeping willows, they uncover a secluded nest holding two faded, rainbow-hued eggs. Blade recognizes them as guvre eggs that will likely never hatch, given the mother’s long imprisonment. The discovery reframes the guvre’s flight as desperation tied to its mate’s captivity.

Lyssa’s hands glow silvery white, raising fears that she mirrors her mother’s magic and nature. Becky firmly reassures Lyssa that she is herself first and that they will face any magic together. Blade proposes summoning Malevolent Guards to protect the nest while they determine next steps.

Lyssa smiles through the fear, and Becky mirrors it, closing the scene with renewed resolve: they will safeguard the nest and confront the broader injustices that caused its abandonment.
