Zyda slept peacefully after having come from the banquet. Ari knew that Zyda's body was weak and required thorough training. While Zyda slept, Ari was wide awake, meditating. How could she sleep when there's a lot to think about. She was the only person who can save Zyda. As she meditated, she saw a vivid image of a large garden with ethereal beauty, white flowers lined in haphazard rows here and there, a pond rested at the end of the flower quadrangles surrounded by lotuses. Besides the pond sat two boys, dressed in similar clothes called uniforms. They looked happy as they exchanged a couple of hearty laughs. They occasionally nudged each other's shoulders like one would act when with his best friend. She heard their voices clearly as they conversed.
"Haha, Lin you're so good at this. I can't imagine you stole Master's tea and snacks for your lunch," chirruped a brown haired boy, his face plastered with a genuine smile.
