Isabel suddenly let out a sigh of relief and opened her eyes.
She held her forehead and slowly came to from the soft feather hammock.
"Awake?"
With her back to her, Yanis was painting in Isabel's bedroom and cheerfully said, "How was the ritual experience this time?"
Isabel turned her head and saw a brilliant sunrise.
Above the glittering lake, the newborn red sun seemed to set the entire expanse of water ablaze.
Below were red and gold, above light blue and deep blue...
This strange and beautiful scene reminded Isabel of 'Fox' Mr. Aiwass's eyes when resonating with the Path of Devotion.
"Hmm, why aren't you speaking?"
When Isabel's reply hadn't come for a while, Yanis turned curious, jokingly said, "You didn't fail to advance, did you?"
"...No, I succeeded," Isabel said softly.
"You actually succeeded?" Yanis said in a tone of surprise.
"Mrs. Yanis, why are you so surprised?"
"Because I really did consider the possibility of you failing to advance."
