Lily was arranged a house for herself which had a large garden all around with a large fence. Simon lived in the house on the right and the place was part of a huge mansion. They were greeted by everyone who worked there, and they looked at Lily curiously. There was a white fountain of a meadow child in a small area of white gravel and there was also a small flower bed. Lily was glad there was water because then she could create more horses if she needed to.
When they were standing in the garden, she looked at Simon and said, "Thank you very much but I just needed a bed."
Simon smiled and said, “You've fixed a drought that none of us could so I'm the one to thank.”
His eyes fell on her right cheek which still had sand on it, and he moved closer to her and wiped it with his left hand.
Lily was startled but when she saw him so close, she noticed that he was a godly handsome man and if she didn't already know he was a saint she would think he was a god. Her cheeks blushed and her heart beat faster. She hurried to shake the thoughts away because he was ancient, and she was not into old men, and she also had Eco, William, and Ace in her heart. There was also Damon whom she liked very much.
"Your skin is dirty now because of me." she said looking at his hand.
Simon chuckled and sat down at a table and said, "Tell me how you ended up here."
When Lily heard the words, she knew he had an idea of how she could get home.
She sat down at the table across from him and didn't know what exactly to say and looked at him but only saw a friendly face, but she had been cheated by that before.
She bit her lip and looked down at the table and began to consider her words.
“There are parallel worlds as you may have noticed. It looked like you knew Celestia.” Simon said suddenly.
“I have been taken advantage of by two-faced deities before.” mumbled Lily.
"I’m not a deity but a saint so I hope you can confide in me now." Simon said.
Although if he wasn't a deity, he served them since he was a saint so he couldn't fool Lily.
When Simon saw that she still hesitated to answer he said, "If I'm going to help send you home you have to tell me something."
Lily sighed and knew she couldn't get home unless she found a way out and she thought the dragon lord had one.
She told him how she had been stabbed in the stomach and ended up here but still had her abilities from her world.
"It sounds like you have offended a god." he said.
Lily had offended many deities but no god yet, so she was confused by his words but took them to heart. She thought of Grimwald who served the gods and when she insulted him, she surely also insulted the gods he served.
“There’s something about your words. I may have offended too many.” she said and pouted.
Simon chuckled and told her that there were a lot of ancient scrolls that could send her home, but she had to collect them all. If they were combined with each other, they could summon a portal to her world. They had been lost for many years and no one knew what had become of them and they had also been split up over the years.

Lily didn't have time to look for scrolls and said, “It will take forever. I have important people waiting for me at home.”
“Did you notice a lot of stars falling down?” Simon asked.
Lily nodded and replied, "I thought it was a comet."
“A scroll has been found and the dragon lord is looking for them all. They say he comes from another world and is therefore looking for a way home. You two could do well together.” Simon explained.
“How long has he been the dragon lord?” Lily asked.
"Before I was born so many years." replied Simon.
To Lily that dragon lord sounded like a god if he had lived for so long but if he was looking for a way home, he would have ended up here against his will just like her.
Simon said that there were others who were looking for the scrolls because they wanted to invade other worlds or explore them, which he was against. It would create chaos and balance in all parallel worlds and the gods would punish them severely because it was something they had built up for many years. He wanted her to find all the scrolls and at the same time look for the dragon lord so she could get home.
Suddenly he took out a silver ring and placed it on the table and Lily thought she was being proposed to and her cheeks blushed.
"The necessary things have been packed here for your journey. The faster you find the dragon lord, the faster you can find the scrolls.” he explained.
He said that if a person touched the scrolls the dragons could track them as they were connected to them. If she could find a dragon it could trace the scrolls for her, but the dragon lords controlled them all so that would be impossible.
“Where do I start?” she asked.
"There’s a steppe area here where some tribes live whose ancestors created one of the scrolls." Simon explained and took out a card and rolled it up and put it in the space ring.
Lily wanted to take a quick shower and get ready, leaving Simon here as he wanted to send her off. When she had showered and got ready and came out into the living room, she got a huge shock of fright because Celestia was sitting on the couch talking to Simon.
When Celestia saw her, she immediately stood up and walked over to her and bowed humbly and said, “My lady. I hear you're looking for the lost scrolls. My family happens to have one.”
Lily really didn't want to have her clinging to her, but she needed that scroll and considered her words.
Seeing her reaction, Celestia said, "I was being honest when I said I could warm your bed and serve you."
Lily didn't need servants even if it was this woman and even if it was the same person, they didn't have the same personality. So, in this world Celestia submits when she sees someone better than her but, in her world, she tries to get revenge and kill her.
"What has become of the world, though." she said, looking at Pegasus who was standing in the garden.
"My lady. I know my world and have access to everything. I promise to be useful to you.” Celestia said not giving up.
Lily looked at her and threatened coldly, "If you cross me, I can make you suffer worse than death."
Celestia nodded and said, "Of course my lady."
They said goodbye to Simon who gave Lily a small white stone to contact him if she needed him.
She remembered that he didn't know her name and said, "My name is Lily, but you must call me Valerie in public," she looked at Celestia, "that goes for you too."
She had nothing to give Simon as a farewell present and suddenly her eyes fell on the fountain and she got an idea. She walked over to it and took out the trident and pointed at the water creating a white unicorn with wings.
She walked over to Simon and said, "This is my gift to you in case we don't see each other again."
"Thank you very much. It's hard to be impressed by something when I've lived for so long.” he said and walked over to the unicorn.
Lily really didn't know if they would see each other again and walked up to him and hugged him. She gave him a kiss on the left cheek and smiled at him.
"Do not forget me." she said.
She looked at Celestia and asked, “Do you have anything faster than my Pegasus?”
"I don't know, my lady, as you are strong." Celestia replied nervously.
"Eco." Lily said and Eco jumped out and landed on the ground.
He grew very large so that there was room for all three of them. Lily, Celestia and Pegasus sat down, and he flapped his wings and they took off Lily looked down to see Simon holding his cheek as he looked at her smiling. It was just a kiss on the cheek, so she hoped he didn't take it seriously like in the old days when it was like one's first kiss.
As they flew off Celestia suddenly said, "Master Simon has never fallen for a woman before and that is clearly infatuation."
Argh, Lily took her words back and now regretted kissing him on the cheek.
