Xinyi woke up and saw herself lying on the bed in a new set of white clothes with a skirt beautifully sewn like flower petals around her waist, but she hardly noticed the new outfit. Her mind was preoccupied with what transpired hours ago.
Her eyes swept the room and felt dismal, recalling falling asleep while embracing the late Sorceress. She shook her head, believing she missed a splendid opportunity to spend time and learn from her predecessor before the apparition vanished.
Yet, the feeling was only for a time. She breathed deep and rose from bed with eyes dazzling with determination.
I have to move on. I won't let this world die on my watch. I will do my best to bring balance in this world or die trying. This was the vow she made on that day.
