When she came in, Madame Lei thought she was in another land. She could see the moon above giving light to the plants and trees the same as anywhere but there was something different in the atmosphere but could not pinpoint what it was.
A nightingale, Kuaille, flew to her and pulled her sleeve… and brought her to a cavern. Inside, she saw a crystal bed with a blanket and pillow prepared for her.
Being in a new place perked her adventurous spirit, but exhaustion told her to sleep tonight. She needed the rest after days of travel, the fights with the black men, running after the man she thought her enemy turned out to be a friend, and the cliff that made her doubt the legacy. Her body was so tired and slept after her head hit the pillow.
The next morning, she woke up and stretched out but stopped halfway when she had a clearer view of her cabin. She couldn't believe what she saw because the whole room was anything but ordinary.
