Two days of intensive learning had passed, and it was finally time to bid farewell to my enigmatic mentor. As I stood before him, gratitude and determination filled my heart. I gave him a quick but heartfelt hug, expressing my thanks for the knowledge he had bestowed upon me.
"Thank you, Ghodja, for everything," I said, trying to convey the depth of my appreciation.
He smiled warmly, his eyes reflecting pride in my progress. "You have grown in ways you can't even fathom, Saika. Remember the price I demand from you: stand atop the peak, never looking down. Be safe on your journey."
With those parting words echoing in my mind, I turned and took my first steps towards the path that lay ahead. It was time to continue my search for a Spiritmancer, the one who could unlock the secrets of my past and the true extent of my powers.
