He wanted to join him but he was worried interfering now when it wasn't an emergency might screw things up so he could only stand by his side and take care of him.
Ji Yao on the other hand found himself in a dark space once more but this time they weren't any bright stars like before. It was just blank emptiness. While he was looking around in puzzlement he saw a familiar face, a face he had only seen once.
It was the old lady who came to his dreams before but this time she was sitting down in front of a table pouring out some tea like she was expecting him.
Her two long braids hung on the side of each of her ears and her grey hair flowed like a gentle waterfall shimmering under the moonlight.
The saffron coloured symbol on her forehead was still as eye-catching as before giving him a great sense of familiarity. "Sit," she said as she placed the pot of tea on the table before raising her head to look at him.
