I uninstalled Queen Gil while I walked hand in hand with Elfman; the foliage around the village slowly gave way to a desert landscape, with rock formations and mountains, sparse cactus and bushes at first. But at least, we were on the road, far from the village and the crazy sheeps in it. The People we grew up with had tried to kill us because my sister was a Satan Soul take over mage, no amount of explaining what happened in that church would have convinced the mob that had formed around our house.
Before this could get to my big sister's head and turn her into an emo, Lisanna bought us some time by telling the villagers how horrible they were, Fairy Tail style; me? I was tempted to install one of my Servants to burn this entire place down, but no, I was better than this… better than them.
But I currently have Queen Gil equipped and she might overdo it. Speaking of my magic, I retrieved the memories from my previous life. Basically, I died; then some random R.O.B looking like BB from Fate promised me power and adventure, for the sake of amusing her. She had been really accommodating and wanted to send me into the Fairy Tail world and give me 'The Gamer' system, but I had refused part of the offer as I wanted a system customized for my own needs. She let me choose what I wanted: access to the Throne of Heroes and a gamer-like system that would let me install servant-like class cards. A mix of Take Over magic with the card class system from Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya.
R.O.BB modified the gamer system to allow me to interact with my future servants within my mindscape, a bit like a personal reality marble. They could be stored and live in comfort until I equip and install them. I wish that I had an inventory though, I would store all my and siblings luggage if I could, but R.O.BB took it away and told me it was an incentive to learn space-time magic to have my own inventory space.
I vowed to learn requip and space-time magic as soon as possible. My feet hurt and the travel bag on my back was too heavy.
"Sis, look, the village is so tiny." Lisana said as she pointed her fingers at the small Hamlet.
The hamlet was located into a valley, the farming fields surrounding it were clearly visible; it looked beautiful and idyllic, hiding the ugliness of its inhabitants. "Yes, just as tiny as the minds of those ass-"
"Roxy! Language!" Mira shouted at me as she looked pointedly at Elfman and Lisanna.
I rolled my eyes, and walked to my little brother and sister, hugged them and said to my motherly big sister, "You can't coddle them all the time, Mira. We are homeless now, they need to know that life isn't going to be fair. And it starts with me being able to curse all I want now."
"Rox, what happened to you?" Mirajane looked so sad that I relented in my plan to toughen her up.
"Nothing much, sis." Just got the equivalent of thirty years of a previous life dumped into my brain. I was still Roxy Strauss, my personality wasn’t overwritten by the memory capsule module, but I remembered being an older woman from France in my previous life, I had been a big fan of the Fate series and other anime and games. I also remember being excited to be reincarnated here and to be able to use magic and now look at me, I’ve become all jaded by the burden of knowledge; but I won’t let it get to me, I had a family now, people who loved me.
I hugged Lisanna and Elfman a bit more tightly, the little girl looked at me and hugged back. Surprisingly, Elfman decided to defend me, "Mira, leave Roxy alone, she saved us! Those people… they tried to burn us alive in our own home." There was a lot of hate in my little brother's voice, so much so that I recoiled at it.
It was Lisanna’s turn to take my side. "Yeah! Roxy went all gold and then went pow and boom with the mob!"
I cringed at that, Gilgamesh had let me use her power again but she acted all high and mighty-like and sounded so edgy... Fortunately, this time I had more control and we just scared off the villagers. After they tried to burn us though, we decided it was best to leave that hell hole. As I watched Mira, she was getting all sad again and looked at her right demonic arm.
*Nope, I won’t let her become a Sasuke or Scott Summers!* I decided to reassure her by doing a magic cantrip.
I focused on my core and externalized the mana (or what the local mages call it, Ethernano) and willed it to make a ball of light. Any mage could do that, and I was only able to do it because of my meta-knowledge of this world; it was gold in color, I think my equipping Gil was influencing me. "This is magic, the two of us are mages." I pointed a finger at me and at Mira.
Her blue eyes focused on her black and purple right arm, then back on me. "How sure are you of that? I mean look."
I put a hand on my chest and smugly said without hesitation, "Certain, but You'll see, I heard that the two of us are what you call Take Over mages. You can obviously do this with demons but because you cannot control it, your arm is still in that state. If you learn more about that magic, I think you can dismiss the demonic arm and get back your squishy human one."
Mirajane smiled, it was visible when she decided to trust me when she came and hugged me too. "T-that's reassuring, thank you, Roxy."
I patted her back. "You're welcome, Mira."
The other two kids joined the hug as well, it was good, no wonder this place was all about love and friendship and magic. My eyes fell on Lisanna’s hopeful face. "Do you think we can use magic too, big sis?"
Letting go of everyone I put a hand on Elfman and Lisanna’s shoulders and said with conviction, "Why the fuck not? I mean we are siblings, magic is possibly genetic given that Mira and I use the same type. I think our parents didn't tell us everything about themselves..."
Mirajane took on a contemplative expression and nodded. Yeah we were going to have research to do about our parents. But first we needed to find shelter in Fairy Tail. I knew they would accept us, but we needed to survive first to get to Magnolia. My rumbling stomach made itself known, like clockwork, those of my siblings followed.
Closing my eyes, I called on my magic and focused on my inner-self. <Hey, um, your Majesty, can I have a bit of your time?. I have a favor to ask.>
I was pulled into my mindscape, it was really beautiful, I was in a valley reminding me of that forest I saw in the Lord of The Ring movie, Lothlórien. I was in a treehouse overseeing the entire forest.
"That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring and the new green opens do they fall, and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden, and golden is the roof, and its pillars are of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey." It described well what I was saying.
Gilgamesh in a golden dress made her regal presence known, she was on a golden chair, legs crossed with a wine glass in her hand filled with a ruby red liquid. [Speak, mage. I don’t have all day, so far, watching you interact with those weaklings you call family has been boring.]
I kneeled before her and spoke in a deferential tone, <Forgive me, your Majesty. I shall find more entertainment for you when me and my family are safe.>
[Very well, this Queen shall hold you to your promise. I suppose that by your earlier comment that you wish for me to help you in your travel?]
<I see, Nothing can escape you Your Majesty.> I wasn’t surprised, even though Gilgamesh had a bothersome personality, you couldn’t deny that she was fucking brillant.
But as usual, fate wanted to put a damper on my hopes and dreams. Queen Gilgamesh opened her mouth and said, [I can’t.]
Gilgamesh drank her wine as she looked at my face going slack at her denying me. Was this a sadistic glint that I saw in her eyes?
<What?! Why?> I asked completely not anticipating this, without any training we might starve, me and my siblings.
[You’re not strong enough.] Then Queen Gil disappeared in motes of light in the direction of another big tree house; it was the tallest in the realm with golden leaves.
I stood back up, surprised at what just happened; but in effect I shouldn't be… Gilgamesh is extremely manipulative, egocentric, and selfish. Even more so as a female, She is unable to acknowledge anyone’s authority. There’s something that bothered me, even with having a connection to the throne of heroes, how do I enforce my will on them? I don’t think I can.
Looking into the blue sky overhead, I cried a bit. <What am I going to do now?> I said with a sniffle.
Was I really unworthy of help like Queen Gil said? But she helped me two times to save the lives of my siblings before, why won’t she help now? Should I ask the help of another servant or just go back and try my luck and forage in the forest for food? I wiped my tears and raised a fist to the sky. <But I can’t give up! Mira, Elfman and Lisanna are counting on me.>
It was at this point that I saw an opening in the sky ten meters from me, it was as if a black hole had suddenly appeared. Slowly, something exited from it, and I noticed that it was someone gracefully floating down. The silhouette was covered by darkness, but I could see that it was a woman because of the curves she sported.
She landed soundlessly before me and when she planted what she held in her hand into the ground, the shadow dispersed in motes of darkness. I recognized her! The red eyes, auburn hair and the slutty warrior outfit…
<Scáthach?> I said in awe.
She smiled at me and gripped her long red spear. [I arrived from the land of Shadows. I am Scáthach. Shall I call you Master?] The Queen of the Land of Shadows asked me.
I nodded mechanically at her question. It was all I could do to not faint at the utter relief that I was feeling right now, Shishou was there! When I was in despair she appeared.
This must have been etched on my face, because she answered to my inner thoughts, [I’m responding to your will to survive, I heard that you seek training?]
There must have been tears in my eyes as she reached for my face and wiped them.
<Can you really help?> I didn’t want to assume, Gil rebuffed me when she had helped before. I couldn’t take the people in the throne of heroes for granted.
She took her hand back after patting my cheek. [I sure can, little one. Since I arrived and awakened into this world I learned about how ill prepared you are to face even the littlest of threats. I will definitely train you, but…]
I perked up at this, that was the best news I had received as of yet! I didn’t like the hesitation in her voice though. <But?>
Scáthach took my chin in her hand and said with a tone that brokered no ambiguity on her part, [There will be no slacking allowed.]
I gulped at that, and laughed nervously. Then I calmed myself down, I was getting what I wanted, but would I survive the experience? This is the teacher of heroes, the Witch of Dún Scáith, Lord of Spirits. Something snapped in me, and my resolve firmed. I looked up into Shishou’s eyes. <If I can save my family, I would go to the depths of hell if I have to.>
She nodded. [Hnn, you sure have a good expression on your face. Alright... shall we do this?]
At that, I opened my eyes to my Lisanna shaking me. “Roxy? Roxy, why are you spacing out again?”
I put a hand on my little sister's head, patting it in reassurance. "I was speaking with the spirit in my mindscape and she promised to help us by teaching us how to survive outdoors."
"What's a mindscape?" My little brother poked my sides, prompting me to look at him.
I sighed, I didn't have time to teach them the intricacy of the magic and its wonders. All I knew about it was what I gleaned from the Fairy Tail, Negima and Fate series wiki. I should be able to come up with my own magic in this world, but it was going to require a lot of experimentation. Time that we didn't have right now, we needed food.
Combing Elfman's hair with my hand, I told him, "I will explain later, Elfman." My brother leaned into my hand by closing his eyes, then he nodded to me.
I turned to Mira. "Mira, do you have a knife?"
From her black cloak, Mirajane took a big knife sheathed into leather. "I have our dad's hunting knife. It's a bit dull, though."
I smiled at her and let her keep the knife. "Excellent, it doesn't matter if it's dull, we will be able to prepare the game we will catch."
It was time to go look for food!
×-X-×
Like I anticipated, Shishou materialized out of my mindscape and stood next to me like Queen Gil had done earlier. The woman’s beauty was noticeable despite the black mask covering half her face; she wore a full-body outfit that highlights her perfect curvaceous body, with metallic shoulder pads. Her long purple hair flew widely thanks to the breeze, and when at last her crimson eyes fixed upon me with an appraising gaze; I felt myself being judged and analyzed thoroughly.
For a long moment nothing was said, my sibling and I were standing in a circle. My brother and sisters were looking at me as if I was doing weird stuff, waiting for me to explain myself. Scáthach looked around, seeing the woods and when she lifted her head at the sun. I don’t know what she was thinking at all, her face was blank, devoid of emotions.
“Today, I will teach you how to make a bow.” Shishou finally said.
“First, we will gather the materials.” The tall woman stared at me placidly and asked, “Do you have a fresh piece of cordage, a sharp knife… ah your sister has it.”
“Mira brings me Dad’s knife, Elfman the toolbox!” I called out to my sister who had the knife in hand. While Elfman ran to one of the travel bags.
I unsheathed it, it was dull as expected. Elfman came back with a large wooden box and put it on the ground before me. “Here Roxy.”
Elfman, sharpen this for me, there should be a whetstone in the box. The little boy smiled, content that he was being given a job. “Sure, Roxy!”
Scáthach said, “While he does that, let’s look for some wood, preferably a sapling or green tree.”
She was already moving, not waiting for me and I followed her in the woods. There she taught me how to choose the wood, that green trees ash or oak were the best for crafting a bow. After that I returned to camp to find that my brother had finished sharpening our dad’s knife, then I went to work under the instruction of the God Slayer and started to craft the bow.
It took a large chunk of time to do it, but I crafted a bow and three arrows. And it was afternoon when I finished. Mirajane had distributed sandwiches to everyone when it had been time for lunch.
I was so happy that I showed it to Shishou who looked at it with a critical eye. "Hmm, it's adequate."
My eyes widened. "Adequate? It's perfect, teacher!"
My siblings looked at me as if I was going crazy. Lisanna asked, "Who is she speaking with?"
"I don't know little sis." Elfman said while Mirajane looked at me speaking alone.
This was inconvenient, no one could see my Heroic Spirit. Shishou harrumphed at me. "I've seen better."
I glared at her for that, I took my bow and showed it to my siblings. I let Mirajane take the bow in her hand and pull on the bow string. As she inspected it, she kept looking at me as if in a new light.
"Wow, how did you build that? This is the first time I saw you make something like that." She asked me by passing the bow back to me.
With a ‘Fufu’ laugh, I boasted, "My teacher, who is a spirit, told me how."
This was my third try and I was satisfied with it. Carving wasn’t my forte, but I could do a decent job… I hoped to get better tools in the city; there was no way I would just be a mage. I wanted to be an innovator and inventor here. That Engineering degree wasn’t going to be wasted.
Mirajane looked around, trying to see Shishou. "She's here?"
I sighed and lamented the fact that no one could see my Heroic spirits again. "You can't see her, only I can."
Lisanna the cutie patootie, shouted, "Thanks teacher!"
Scáthach nodded at the kids, shit was this a smile I’ve seen in her eyes? This showed me that she was more human than I thought. "She heard you." I found myself saying to my cute little sister.
She must be embarrassed because Scáthach said, “Now I will teach you how to hunt. Follow me young one.”
She turned heel and left toward the woods again. “Wait, teacher!”
“Elfman come with me, you’ll learn too!” I took the quiver I’d made and placed the three arrows I crafted in it. And Followed her, my siblings hot on my heels.
Elfman shouted, “Yes!”
Mirajane was holding onto her little sister who looked at her. “Why just him?!”
“Stay with Mirajane, Lisanna.” Elfman said smugly before leaving after Roxy.
Mirajane looked at Lisanna, crossed her arms and puffed up one of her cheeks to pout. “Don’t pout, we’re going to make the camp.”

(Elfman Strauss)
His big sis was trying to be silent. But didn’t seem to succeed at all at that; however, as the first hour passed without catching anything and hearing his sister argue about how she was doing her best with someone he couldn't see. Her movements sharpened and she became more silent while holding onto her bow.
They were on an animal track they'd found not too long ago and listened to their surroundings. They heard some flapping sounds coming from afar, something had just landed. "Elfman." His sister whispered.
The woods were silent, there were birds singing afar but not near them, as if something had spooked them.
"Yes, sis?" He mimicked her, lowering his voice.
"Look at my feet, try to copy what I do. And keep your voice down, okay?" She looked into his blue eyes.
"I will try…" He murmured.
Roxy shook her head. "Don't try, Elfy, do."
They walked upon a big brown bird with a green head. They just found dinner, he saw Roxy with a dead serious expression, looking at the animal like… like a predator. She took an arrow and nocked it, the bow string was taut and she whispered a litany, "Take aim and fire."
The arrow flew toward the brown bird and hit smack dab its chest. The bird didn't scream as it fell dead, but it convulsed momentarily and then it stopped.
“Gotchu!” Roxy pumped her fist in victory.
“You killed it sis!” Elfman raised his hands in the air.
Roxy laughed and caught one of his arms and pulled him toward the dead bird in the clearing. “Let’s go look for it before something steals it from us.”
And this trend continued; they hunted while moving stealthily, Elfman helped take out a huge rabbit. The thing was white with a matte pelt. It actively ran away from them, but before it could get into its burrow Roxy sniped it, hitting its flanks. And with the arrow in its body, the animal couldn't enter the hole in the ground. The animal had red eyes and it persisted in trying to flee in its hidey-hole.
The two siblings waited for it to die, it didn't take much time as it bled out. Elfman watched as Roxy began speaking with her imaginary friends again. "Teacher are you sure?"
Roxy bobbed her head in assent. "Okay, we will bleed them first."
Roxy pulled their dad’s hunting knife from its sheath and looked at Elfman. "Watch what I am about to do, little brother."
He liked this, Roxy was treating him like an adult and teaching him things, Elfman couldn’t wait to go on the next hunt with his big sister. Looking at his sister's movement as she sliced through the rabbit's throat with a disgusted expression on her face; he watched all her action. Roxy then took a vine from one of the trees and wrapped it around the rabbits legs and put it upside down.

4 hours later
It was night and we had found a clearing facing a hill. The fire that Lisanna and Elfman had prepared was crackling while Mira and I cooked the rabbit and bird I had caught. Hunting with Scáthach was a tiring experience. First she had made me craft a simple survival bow and arrows and taught me how to use them. She was a patient teacher, and often corrected me with my stance with the bow.
I tracked game the rest of the time. We had luck on our side and killed a pheasant and a big rabbit in the second hour of our hunt. I was happy to not have killed the rabbit before my little sister, Lisanna, liked cute animals.
We mostly stripped the rabbit of its fur, cut it open, deboned the carcass and buried its organs in a hole in the ground so as not to attract predators from the woods. Then we put the meat on pointy sticks that I cleaned with magic. Magic was mostly intent and image from what I understand. This must be how primitive mages must have made their spells.
I knew how to attain the effects that I wanted but it took a lot out of me somehow. My magic container was supposed to be as powerful as the Grail from the Fate series, but it seemed that my body should get used to channeling that much power. From my estimation, I couldn't sustain the take over for more than twelve hours at this point.
We were all sitting on fallen tree trunks that we had pulled around and placed before our fire. I smelled the meat that was cooking and I deemed that it was ready to be ingested. Mira and I handed a stick with a lot of rabbit meat on it to the two other kids. It was with relish that I looked at my little brother and sister eating the rabbit meat, I then turned to Mirajane who had the same expression as I sported. Well she was my twin and our priority had always been the kids since our parents died. I took the pheasant meat stick that was finally done cooking.
Thank the gods that we took everything valuable from our house in the village, that includes the seasoning spices from the kitchen. I took the meat in my mouth and pulled it from the stick with my teeth and chewed. It was delicious! I started to really go down on the food… Damn I was really hungry. The meat stuck in my throat and I choked on it, not good. Mira, the gods bless her soul, handed me her waterskin and I took a swig of water, enough to swallow the meat more easily. We were fortunate enough to have found a river with drinking water, to either bath in or fill our water containers with.
Forty minutes later, we were all watered and had our bellies filled. We all went to clean our teeth near the flowing river and when we were done, me and Mira decided that it was time to speak about what we were going to do. We argued for over five minutes between ourselves about if we should tell the kids anything and let them follow our plans. Mira wanted them to just follow and wander the land until we found a place to live and then learn magic as we go to get control over her own powers.
But I had other plans for us. “No, Mira, they need to be on board. We can’t shield them from everything.”
What I wanted to do was train while we were on the way to Magnolia, teach my siblings some magic to be able to defend themselves; I had Shishou as my servant for my lancer class and I intended to use her hax skill, the Wisdom of Dún Scáith to learn about all the interesting B to A rank magic in Earth Land.
Mirajane crossed her arms and glared at me. “Watch me, Roxy. I sure can. Mom and Dad asked us to protect them when they died, and I intend to do just that.”
It was at this moment that I remember myself folding under her authority when she spoke about what our parents told her when they died. I couldn’t let that happen, Elfman and Lisanna needed to be strong independent people, unlike what I’d seen in the anime in my previous world.
I strode to her and put my hands on her shoulders and looked into her blue eyes. “Yes… I know that we only have each other now.” My hands tightened on her shoulders. “But what happens if the two of us die? How are they going to handle life if you coddle them too much?”
Mira’s eyes widened, she tried to say something but nothing came out of her mouth and she lowered her eyes. With my right hand I lifted her chin and said, “Elfman and Lisanna need to know a certain degree of autonomy and have a hand in deciding their futures as well. Smothering them and not letting them grow as people is doing them a disservice!”
We stared at each other for a long moment before she smiled at me. “Okay, we will do that and ask them their opinion…” It seemed that Mirajane was seeing the wisdom in my advice, so I sighed in relief. My sister then asked me, “Since when are you so wise, Roxy?”
Letting go of Mira’s shoulder, I asked, “What do you mean, sis? I’ve always been this smart.”
Mirajane sighed, looked down to order her thoughts and then looked back up with a frustrated expression upon her face. “I know, I know… but, normally I always take all the big decisions, and you follow my lead, but right now you aren’t.”
I shrugged. “We can’t afford to make any mistakes, Mirajane. If we were safe and under a roof, I would let you decide everything, but… but look at where we are, sis.” I said as I spread my arms and showed her the clearing where we were camping.
“We are in a precarious situation. We must be united and take advantage of everything we have to survive. Elfman is strong for his age and smart, he read dad’s stuff about trapping. And Lisanna, did you see how she had defended you from the ignoramuses in the village? She’s such a good girl, and always following and mimicking us. We need to be a good example for them.”
“Fine, let’s do it your way.”
And this is how I won my first argument with my elder sister. We siblings gathered around the fire and Mirajane spoke about her plan. She wanted us to go join a guild somewhere and learn magic from it. My plan was similar but I told them that we all could learn magic right now on the road, that one of my spirits from my Take Over magic could teach me how to wield my power and maybe teach us some basic magic for us to survive. Then I said that Mira’s idea about finding a guild was a good one.
“We should join Fairy Tail, it’s a guild in Magnolia.” I said to my sibling as I took a stick and began drawing a rough map of Fiore on the ground.
My siblings looked at the map.
“See here?” I pointed at what I think is our location from my memories. “We are in the forest near Mount Hakobe,” Then I wrote the name Magnolia town that is located in the southeastern part of Fiore near Hargeon town. “It's really close by train.”
Elfman looked from the map to me, then had a thoughtful expression. “But we don’t have any money to take the train.”
At that, I smiled and took something out of the Gate of Babylon; yes, I could manifest it and store stuff, but not touch Queen Gil’s stuff. “As a matter of fact we do, 150 000 jewels. But it’s not enough to buy train tickets for all of us.”
I showed the roll of bills to my siblings who looked at it as if I’d just taken out a gold ingot. Well, we were poor villagers originally, so this was the most money they had seen in their lives. Mirajane asked me with a glare, “How did you get that much money?”
We never had this much money before, she was obviously suspecting me of having stolen it. She was right, and I decided to be honest with her. “I stole it from the Village Chief’s wallet.”
Mirajane stood up, eyes wide. “Roxy! That’s stealing!”
I shrugged, it’s not like the asshole needed it with how he squeezed the life out of everyone and sat on his fatass doing nothing. “So? They wanted to kill us, the guy was fair game.”
“We need to have a talk about this later, Roxanne Strauss.” She crossed her arms under her budding chest.
*Uh-oh, my full name…* That wasn’t good at all.
We stared into each other’s eyes for a long moment. Lisanna and Elfman looked at us two, a bit worried by our behavior.
I knew that she wasn’t going to budge on the theft. And I nodded my head and said, “Fine.”
“Fine.” She nodded as well.
Lisanna and Elfman spoke about wanting to follow my plan about learning magic and to Mira’s to eventually reach a guild. Then they asked me questions about Fairy Tail, I told them about how Fairy Tail was described as good and helpful people that will surely take us in. I was sure about that, Erza, Grey and Natsu must already be there.
We decided to go to sleep for the night after that, of course, Mirajane scolded me profusely when the little ones were completely out of it. Next we decided to take turns guarding the camp, Mira decided to go first; this was three hours of sleep for me, and it would let me decide what to do next. Tomorrow was another day, I would teach everyone how to use magic. We had time to become really awesome mages.

Quest 1: Going the distance
To become strong, you’ll have to train! Get the Queen of the Land of Shadows to train you physically, and in magic.
Reward: ?, ?, ?
Failure: Disappointing Scáthach and making her triple your training.
Ah great, now I got my first quest. Scáthach appeared next to me and looked at the blue window; then she started smiling like the scary God Killer that I knew… she closed her eyes, as if she was deciding something.
“Excellent, we will have time to train with such means to speed up your growth, Roxanne. I’ve used my clairvoyance and understand how this works.” From the placid expression of earlier to the joy filled one she sported right now, I understood that this was going to hurt.
With crimson eyes looking down at me, her hand tightened on the red spear. “You better prepare yourself, I’ll not tolerate any argument.”
With a big gulp, I nodded. “Yes, Shishou.”
She stood at my side and she put a hand on my shoulder. I felt its weight… “Let’s go while your siblings are sleeping. I am aware that you already know the spell to create the Reality Marble.”
I raised a hand, searched for the sensation of my magic flowing inside of me. Countless red lines suddenly appeared on the surface of my skin and I chanted. “ID create, training Marble.”
Then the world stilled and a new chapter began in my life.
