Confessions of a part-time waitress
Luna Inverse here. You know the one at whose name the notorious bandit-killer cringes. I am a waitress in a small town that can be found somewhere in Zephilia. What, you actually thought that I'd tell you the town where I live? I value my anonymity thank you very much. Being mostly unknown is a wonderful thing. No one comes to me, begging me to play the hero. There are plenty of sword-swinging buffoons out there who are more than qualified to save a village from a rampaging dragon or the odd bandit gang.
A year or tow ago, some golden dragons pestered me about going on a quest to save the world. I shrugged, consulted Cepheid, and then promptly wrote my little sister a letter. Evidently, as the world has not been destroyed yet, she must have succeeded. So I get to enjoy my simple life as a part-time waitress in a small Zephilian café why Lina goes about the place doing who knows what.
Meanwhile, letters intended for Lina tend to pile up. Everyone knows where Lina used to live, what they don't know is that I am her big sister. For fun sometimes, I read the letters, seeing what Lina has blown up this month. She almost got married to some minor noble, and then ended up in a fight with multiple sorcerers. He wants her to replace his ruined estate. Most of the letters are just laughable.
Then there are the death threats. Those, I pay special attention to. In fact, I reply to death threats, inviting them to come here and face Lina. Let's just say that assassins are quite surprised to find the Knight of Cepheid waiting for them. Cepheid approves of the way I deal with the assassins. I guess you could say I've grown beyond the rage I felt when Lina broadcast those pictures of me all over the place with that illusion spell. Learning to forgive is a part of growing up. And so I continue to watch out for my little sister, hoping that some day when she decides to stop moving around, that I will be able to protect her.
For now, I'm bouncing about a few ideas as to how I might do that. Cepheid says that there is something important brewing. The flare dragon god won't tell me what it is, however, except that it involves Lina and that I need to talk with her, alone, before he will reveal more. Ugh, sometimes being the Knight of Cepheid is tedious.
