Aurum asks in a shaky voice. "But...another Rune Core? You'll need Orichalcum for that, right?  Where will you find any?"

The room is silent for a few seconds.

"...I volunteered."

Lucida looks down, her voice quiet. "I volunteered because I already have more than anyone else as a battery for my magic. Papa will be using my extra Orichalcum until we can get some more."

"But, Lu!!" Aegis is beside her in a second. "Lu, you won't be able to use magic until you get more! How long will that be?  Dad, tell me!  Tell me, please!"

Lucida wraps her arms around Aegis with a small smile, her own voice shaky. "It's all right, Aeg! It's not like I'm dying or anything, geez!  You're such a baby!"
