thanks for the chapter!!
i dont like that spirit
the ENTITLEMENT
! i really dont like how she almost ordered lerunda to help her when she is an innocent vulnerable child
i find the whole thing really evil
she first made the elves lose all hope so that they would be desperate, then she said to them "BUT WORRY NOT LERUNDA IS HERE AND
WILL SAVE YOU!!" so that they'd put all their hopes onto the poor girl, and only THEN did she (fakely) ask lerunda if she indeed would help, without giving her a way out....
how could lerunda refuse?
and it exhausted her!! the dark circles beneath her eyes clearly proves how much of a pitiful state she is in
of course the spirit entitled like it is dont give a FUCK about lerunda's health
i mean maybe i read too much into this, but words have a meaning
spirit and elves are often portrayed as egoistical (when it comes to their forest) and entitled in other stories so it might be what the author aimed at
and i find it clever if he did!! it shows the personality of the spirit subtly^^its not too obvious but still enough for the reader to at least feel uncomfortable
this being cleverly done aside, i really dislike the spirit lol not as a character, but as a being in the story's setting
like, fuck off from our lerunda!!
