Zel'eon also set to work understanding the recipes he had taken from the Purists' offices, eventually finding out how to manufacture alchemists' fire in his lab. He created a few vials of this, loading it into his arm launcher to prepare for any fights ahead. Additionally, he began research on trying to create a sonic bomb that could fit into his arm launcher.
## Arche's Birthday Celebration
-
- On Ruatis, the 12th of Lunaris 1892, Arche wakes up in her room, realising its her birthday. She thinks back on her childhood, remembering how her parents used to value her birthday, and grows a little sad, thinking about how she has not celebrated her birthday properly in about a decade.
-
- Arche gets up from bed, stretching out the sleep wearing her all blue moon pyjamas. She looks around her small bedroom, seeing her sword leaning against one wall, her armored bodysuit draped over one of the chairs, and her plastic gun made for her by Zel'eon on her desk. She blinks the sleep from her eyes and begins to head downstairs.
-
- As she descends the staircase among the rays of morning sunlight, she is caught off guard when she hears the voices of her friends singing happy birthday. Saziver stands in the middle holding a cake in the shape of the moon that they had baked for Arche.
-
- As the song wraps up, the four head to the kitchen island, where Arche takes a better look at the cake, that has patterns and craters on it just like the moon.
-
- As the group hears a door open upstairs, they watch as a box floats down the staircase as Senzorin uses his telekinesis to retrieve his present for Arche from his room.
-
- Arche opens Senzorin's gift to find that it is a roughly disco ball sized full moon made fully out of steel that Senzorin had learnt to forge with the Avjarn a few weeks back. Arche, tearing up a little bit, pats Senzorin on his head and says "Thank you.". She immediately runs up to her room and hangs up the moon on her ceiling.
-
- She decides to open her next present, from Zel'eon, which is in a large rectangular box. Revealed is an ornamental rapier, made by Zel'eon in the Avjarn's forges, inscribed with the elvish symbol of the moon. Zel'eon warns that it isn't for combat, just for display purposes, but Arche thanks him nonetheless, stating that it is beautiful.
-
- Lastly, Saziver pulls out his tablet and asks Arche, "Do you have your tablet with you?" Arche nods, and as Saziver types a few things into his device, Arche's device vibrates slightly. As she begins to examine it, she notices that Saziver has coded a whole new theme for her device that is just like the moon, with widgets that show the current phase of the moon and moon icons for the apps among other things.
-
- The group begins to tease Arche, asking her to pick a favourite gift, but she says she can't choose between such wonderful gifts given by her friends, and begins to get emotional.
-
- After they finish the cake, Arche begins talking seriously, telling her friends she might need their help with something later. She tells them about Anderson Ortlinde's rally later in the day, and that she wants to go and reconnect with him, despite running away a few years ago.
-
- Her friends obviously agree, and plan to meet at the rally after school.
-
- They finish up their breakfast, and head to school at the Arbalest Academy, Arche still buzzing from her first birthday celebration in years.

The sun crept over the horizon on Ruatis, the 12th of Lunaris, 1892, spilling golden light into the cozy confines of Arche's small bedroom. Arche stirred beneath her covers, blinking groggily at the reality that struck her like a bolt of pure magic—today was her birthday! But as the realization washed over her, a shadow crept into her heart. Memories surged like waves at high tide, flooding her mind with visions of laughter, of decorated cakes, and of parents who had once cherished this day. For a fleeting moment, she felt the weight of a decade's worth of missed celebrations.

Slipping out from the cocoon of her blankets, Arche stretched, her blue moon pajamas striking a playful contrast against the muted hues of her room. Glancing around, she took in her surroundings: her double bladed sword leaning against the wall, her armored bodysuit draped across a chair, and the plastic gun, made for her by Zel'eon, sitting on her desk. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she padded down the staircase, as the morning sun streamed through the windows of the stairwell.
+
+
As she descended, a sudden choir of voices caught her off guard. Her friends had gathered to serenade her, singing her happy birthday loudly and off-key. In the center of it all stood Saziver proudly bearing a cake shaped like the moon.
+
+
The unmistakable sound of a door creaking open echoed from above, and a box floated down the staircase, suspended by Senzorin's telekinesis, coming to a stop in front of Arche.
+
+
She unwrapped the box, and saw Senzorin's present for her: a disco ball-sized steel full moon, forged by Senzorin in the forges of the Avjarn. Tears misted Arche's eyes as she reached out to pat Senzorin's head, her gratitude spilling into words. “Thank you.” Overcome by emotion, she dashed back upstairs, securing the moon above her bed.
+
+
Next up was a rectangular box from Zel'eon, carefully wrapped and waiting eagerly for her touch. Inside lay an ornamental rapier, also crafted in the Avjarn's forges, bearing the elvish symbol of the moon. Zel'eon cautioned her against using it for combat, but Arche thanked him nonetheless, stating that it was beautiful.
+
+
Saziver decided to finish the celebration with his own gift for Arche. “Do you have your tablet with you?” he asked, his fingers already dancing over the screen of his own device. Arche nodded, not knowing what to expect. A moment later, her own tablet vibrated, and she discovered Saziver had crafted an entire new lunar theme. She saw that Saziver had added widgets showcasing the moon's phases and little moon icons for each of her apps.
+
+
Once the cake was devoured, the atmosphere shifted. Arche cleared her throat, her smile fading slightly as she glanced at her friends. “I might need your help with something later,” she began, telling them about the rally for Anderson Ortlinde for his upcoming gubernatorial re-election. She planned to use this public appearance to reconnect with her estranged father.
+
+
Obviously, her friends agreed to help her, accompanying her to the rally, which was to be held after school. After a quick breakfast, the group headed to school, planning to meet straight afterwards at the rally.
