A month has passed since Rya started practicing water magic as well as Fire and Wind magic. It was weird to her that she had a connection with all of the major elements. Everything happened so fast during the battle of the Roses, that she didn't realize that Nils literally meant she unlocked all the elements to her. But she didn't go into detail on how to use them like earth and void healing magic.
But thanks to The Mage's Guild's library Rya was able to learn how to use those elements from to old tomes of the lost languages. She was surprised by how easy it was to cast new incantations. So, the Mage's Guild, along with the help of Master Hajdah, did everything in their power to allow Rya to practice her magic.
She learned from the ancient tomes that she could use her magic in different ways than what the other mages were doing and that she could not only create magic but enhance it. Stunning the mages' world when word started to spread about this new young mage who was the Agon's only known healer.
And what excited Hajdah and the other mages was Rya's breakthrough in enhancing the three elements of Fire, Wind, and Water.
With Fire, she found out how to strengthen the spells into blue flames. Making them more powerful and allowing her to have more control over the heat. This helped Hajdah to become the most respected Archmage in the land, making him most likely to become the new Grand Master in Fiafyr Kingdom's Guild.
With Wind, she found out how to make it stronger and able to move around the area with ease and was able to glide around almost like she was flying. She also was able to learn how to use wind magic to create lightning by creating wind friction, ionizing the particles in the air. Which needed far less mana to cast compared to Razor-phoon. This helped wind mages from being mostly support mages to allow them to become main players in battle. This made Akashia the Wind Mage ecstatic that she could team up with Suhail who was the Lightning Mage.
With Water, she found that she could generate powerful waves which allowed her to swim faster and further. And learned how to cast ice magic. This helped Mystic Laika become known as the Ice Dwarf of Ironside.
And it mainly was the help of her unique gift from the Dark Elven Goddess Nils. Which allows her to read dead written languages from all of the ancient tomes that were in the Mage's library.
This was something no other mage had ever done before, so they started calling Rya "The First Mage".

Rya also found a tome on time magic but she never was able to cast it no matter how hard she tried.
'Hmm? I guess I have no affinity for time magic. I guess when Nils said "I unlocked all elements," that didn't include time magic. Whatever! I have more than enough to do whatever I want.' Rya thought to herself as she paged through the Time Tome.
After learning about her new magic. Rya decided to train herself harder and improve her skills as an earth mage. She got better at creating her golems and she was able to create some a little bit of clothing for them. So they were no longer running around naked, even if they were only in bras and panties. But it was better than nothing. Then her biggest breakthrough was getting her golems to almost speak. They could do simple few-word sentences. Just enough to get their point across.
While training herself she took up slaying skeletons of the fallen Mercenaries that came back from the dead. Thanks to a blood moon that raised one night and casts negative mana onto the dead and reanimated them into skeleton warriors. This would be Rya's duty to kill the undead skeletons in the name of the Fiafyr Kingdom and strengthen her mana vein.
And while her golems were out on patrol they found all the materials she needed to create the Seer Stone. Most of the materials were easy to find but the bain of her existence was looking for a crystal called the God's Tear. Which is a crystal that falls from the sky like a falling star. And the tricky part is they disintegrate if exposed to the sun.
She spent weeks searching for one and lucked out after three weeks when one of her golems finally found a rock that resembled a God's Tear just before sunrise.
So her golem named 2E secured it and brought it back to Ironside Palace.
***
The palace seemed quiet as dawn was about to break in the next hour or two, though there was a bit of activity here and there in the city. The morning birds were singing their songs when the night sky started getting a warm glow over the eastern horizon. And a figure that looked like Rya was running full speed towards the Baron's Palace.
Rya was sleeping in the arms of her fiancee, Prince Quinus. He was combing his figures through her long white platinum hair as he gave her a kiss.
"Good morning," Quinus said with a smile.
Rya blushed and smiled back, "Morning... I'm sorry for being late last night."
Quinus laughed, "Well, you've been busy of late. I'm assuming your golems have been running around everywhere? I haven't seen any of them lately."
Rya nodded, "Hmm. Yeah, I wanted to make sure none of those skeletons were around the roads that lead out of the city. And 2E sent a message to me in the middle of the night. I think she found the last material I need to complete the Seer Stone."
Quinus' eyes lit up, "Really?! So, your golem found the God's Tear? Do you think you can create that thing? I wonder if it will function like the book says it will. You know people are going to get the wrong idea when they see you reading from a demonic tome, right? We can't let the people use this against you."
Rya shrugged, "Oh please! I should have never told you that the tome was written by a Demon Sage. If you are going to act like this then I should have kept it a secret so you wouldn't make such a big deal out of it!"
Quinus smiled and grabbed her chin, then turned her towards him.
"You don't need to be alone anymore. I'll be there for you always, babe," Quinus said as Rya saw his two golden eyes up close and it made her heart raced every time she looked into them.
