The ladies were woken up by the strange voice that they both recognized. The tree had the face of a woman.
Lila helped Anaya up. The girls looked at each other before they stared at the tree woman.
" Congratulations. You passed! A very rare occurrence in this place. It has been years since anyone passed the tests.
Guess the people who passed the tests? You are acquitted to them and know them well. You two are fated to be one in this life.
They were a couple of two agents. Best friends if you would like. Rhea, and Matias. Do you recognize them?"
Lila looked at the tree in surprise. " My mother? " at the same time, Anaya voiced her opinion, " Dad?"
The tree smiled gently. " Yes! Your parents. Though they were not meant to be a couple, they had passed the tests and formed a bond.
A soul-binding knot that could only be undone in death. They became a lamp and its wick. A lamp without a wick is like a decoration in the house.
