The entire forest suddenly became clear again, the dead plants and flowers began to grow back magically, white, shiny light surrounding them.
There were colorful birds singing around the forest and perching on every beautiful flowers.
A bevy of young and beautiful ladies sang and danced as they walked along the road carrying baskets of white colored flowers in their hands.
They were all dressed in white hanfus while their long hairs were styled with white colored lotus flowers.

The rest of them sang as they made way towards the white palace.
“We are free” they chorused.
“We should hurry, her highness is waiting for us” said the girl with a flute.
“Of course” others nodded in support as they began to walk more faster than they were walking before.
