Summary
“A curse.” Wriothesley’s brows furrow. “But that would mean a spell has been cast on you. Who would be powerful enough to do that to the Hydro Dragon Sovereign?”
The little Dragon Sovereign shakes his head. “I do not know, but the Mage who wove this spell upon me knew what they were doing. I just do not know who it is that did this, and as such, I do not want to risk looking for a Mage and finding the one who did this to me. There is no telling what they would do to me in this state to ensure they keep my power to themselves.”
“So you come to me,” Wriothesley says slowly as he catches on, “Because I know Magic and the Melusines trust me.”
“Precisely,” The Hydro Dragon responds.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When approached by the cursed Hydro Dragon Sovereign Neuvillette, Wriothesley, a humble Artificer, must help the Dragon regain his full power and break the curse laid upon him. This story follows their attempts at doing so and the bond that forms between them.

Summary
After a wretched morning, Wriothesley knew his day would get worse. Yet, he never would have imagined getting heartbroken by gossips while waiting in line for his Welfare meal. Determined to get over his long lasting pining, he decides to do the brave thing and ignore Neuvillette and his newlyfound "lover" until further notice.
But if Neuvillette has, of course, no lover, the Duke has a stalker, who is determined to jump on that blessed opportunity.

“Wriothesley. This is bullshit.”
“If it’s bullshit, why the concerned look on your face.” It wasn’t a question.
She averted her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose.
“Because there’s nothing romantic to it, but the guy indeed moved into Neuvillette's apartments.”And of course, he couldn’t breathe. Of course, his gut spilled. Because loving from a distance someone who doesn’t wish to experience love is one thing, but loving someone who loves someone else is another. It’s harder. It’s personal. You are not loved back, because it wasn’t you. You weren’t meant to be. And that hurts.

Summary
Neuvillette turns up his nose slightly at the thought of walking amongst the newborn race. Had the Cataclysm not just happened? Had these creatures already forgotten that they lost Egeria to the desert in the south? How can she easily ask him to walk amongst such arrogant creatures?
But then, his memories brought forth a smile; a smile so gentle and kind despite the life it had lived.
A life it will live.
Ah, this really is fate’s works in motion, he thinks somewhat bitterly. Whether he wants to or not, he has to accept Focalors’s invitation to the city and become their Chief Justice. It’s the only way for the future to unfold and for him to understand why he did what he did. It was a promise after all, the first he’s made.
For Fontaine to stand where it is, Time has decided to grace her powers unto Wriothesley by throwing him a thousand years into the past. After all, the Hydro Dragon must first understand humanity in order to pardon their sins, and who better to convince said Dragon to accept the position of the Iudex if not the one who will eventually hold his heart?
