Hey it is an actual fully edited work and not the Sandstone Army draft that is barely readable.

Sylph discovers that she can do far more than just get wet and gets offered assistance by an odd couple of servants. "Okay, Sylph, need anything? Soap, snacks, me, him, us?” Elina talked fast and a lot, while Biscuit did not even open his mouth.

Sylph stayed seated on the rough stone. “I didn’t come all the way to request permission for basic needs.”
Nahana’s eyes tightened even more as she glimpsed over her shoulder. “Your rights come with experience. If you stop acting immature like this, that is.”

Synopsis:
In the opinion of the common storyteller, Sylph did not exist.

Frustrated and deceived by her mothers hiding the truth of her parentage, young dragoness Sylph heads out looking for answers along with a childhood friend, a young human alchemist. From the sky high walls of Carthia, through the winding, lively streets of Halfhill, her journey leads her all the way up north to the picturesque nightmare of snow where she hatched. And yet, the answers lie buried in the desert sand on the other side of the continent.

In a world of cruel slave traders and a ruthless, self-proclaimed queen, Sylph uncovers the answers she seeks and realizes her grave mistake of ever leaving home. A singular misstep in the hostile city means death, or worse, and the guards are hot on her haunches after blundering her way through the gates.
