"Yeah," Aryan sighed heavily and long, looking down. "I have experienced a small part of it. I just don't know, will I be able to hold on until everything is done, or should I stop halfway? Who knows…"
"Hey, don't say that," said Queen Baiduri. "With your intelligence, I and we are all very sure, you will be able to make the prophecy come true, Aryan."
"Yeah, we're sure of that," Maya said, and Mirah nodded in agreement.
"Stay here for a few hours," said the queen, "you will surely be able to gain something from the nine pillars in the hall."
Aryan snorted softly, more like holding back his laughter. "Isn't that an exaggeration, Your Majesty?"
"I don't think so."
"I'm not that smart to be able to learn a thing or two in just a few hours."
Queen Baiduri smiled, she glanced at Maya and Mirah, and the two companions smiled the same.
There is one thing that may be very strange for Aryan to know, which the three of them are keeping from the young man himself.
