How the flowers blossomed from spring-born buds

Dedication

Laionne is the strongest witch who will ever live, and in roughly a year she is going to die. Nothing in our world can prevent this.

As her faithful retainer, friend, and former teacher, I have agonized over this for a very long time. In the end, all I can do is make her final moments as beautiful as possible.

I’d also like to preserve the memory of this wonderful girl, known to nobody but me. If it is my only legacy hundreds of years after I am gone, then I will have accomplished everything I wanted.

So, if you are reading this…

Thank you.
