The others were all absolute monsters on the battlefield, taking to it like they'd been born for it, even the kid Phi. The fight with the pirate daemon had left the new fire malak - Maggie, she still guessed, in her head - worried. She had to remember, if she ever wanted to make her father really happy with her. Even if it was mixed, that was a clear sign of approval, and she'd do whatever it took to earn more of it.īienfu would understand. She brightened at that, her resolve steeling. Quite an achievement, at your age, if you work hard enough for it." Continue striving, and you'll be a Praetor before long. Congratulations, Magillanica, by defeating a daemon of that quality without my aid, you have officially qualified as an Exorcist of the Abbey.

Your artes casting should not need such wild flourishes. "Better, Magillanica, but you are still thinking too much about putting on a show. Hopefully that had been a good enough display to meet with Melchior's approval this time in the two years since she'd accepted his offer, she had yet to feel like she'd really pleased him with any of her work, but this was the first time she'd defeated a larger daemon without needing him to intervene at least a little or healing afterwards. Magillanica Lou Mayvin dusted her hands off, staring at the aftermath of her handiwork, the daemon unmoving and scorched from her artes.
