When life feels overwhelming, it can be good to take a break. A lesson Almighty Mage Siana has to learn the hard way. After dealing with centuries of humanity's problems, she's more than ready to let someone else take the lead. Something her friend does for her gladly. This is a cute, comfy short story, and the chapters are going to be shorter, bite sized lengths.
