Nahida's True Power: Knowledge in the Irminsul The End (Patreon)

Lumine was in a state of confusion when she saw Nahida and Paimon again. To them, she was now only 1 millimeter tall. Even if they remembered that just a moment ago she had been incredibly large and had the proud height of 1 centimeter, to them it was still an insignificant difference. To Lumine, however, both Paimon and Nahida had become ten times larger. They were literally gods to her, standing miles and miles away from her.

It was astonishing how Irminsul still managed to adapt the story. While Nahida was locked in a cage, she created a tiny helper for herself to ease her loneliness. She deliberately made her small enough to be hidden between her toes if someone ever came to inspect Nahida. In this new version of the story, Lumine had become something like a small creation of Nahida. And in order to free herself, Nahida sent this tiny Lumine to seek help. That was how Lumine met Paimon in the river, and so on and so forth. The entire story preserved its causality, but Lumine played an even smaller role in it.

Hearing her new gentle command given by Nahida, Lumine looked at her feet and realized… that she liked it. It wasn't easy to remain calm while standing next to something that surpassed her in everything, both in size and in strength. She felt a sense of awe every time she looked at Nahida’s feet… and who knows, maybe it wasn’t all that bad.Lumine was no longer troubled by the concerns that plagued normal-sized people. Where to live, how to get food, and so on, exponentially. Perhaps staying by Nahida’s side like this would be a better decision for a calmer life. Lumine didn't give up; she decided that such a tiny existence was her well-earned rest. Maybe one day she would try to remind Nahida that she had not always been this small, and who knows, perhaps the Archon of Wisdom would listen to her. But for now, Lumine did not burden herself with such trivial thoughts and continued to live, carrying out Nahida’s gentle commands.
