Small crow forest…
“Madam, it’s almost eving time. The young master still sat there without any movemt. Why don’t we wake him up?” Lambu asked in a worried tone.
“Nooo… We can’t do that. He might get injured if we do that.” Mohini replied, thinking about Kt’s condition.
“But young master prepared hard for the tomorrow competition. What if he doesn’t wake up by tomorrow morning?” Lambu asked again.
“Things like awaking are once-in-a life time evts. We must not disturb the young master at any cost. It seems, he is not going to wake up soon, and you better look after him.” Mohini replied while taking out her glass orb to check out any news from her witch sisters.

As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting the “Sky family estate” in a gold hue, the anticipation among the gathered crowd reached a fever pitch. Patriarch Lysander Sky stood at the head of the courtyard, his daughter, Leona, by his side, exchanging hushed words with the faculty members of the Sky family school.
They were all waiting from a long time, anticipating the arrival of an elder from the Autumn Wind sect.
Suddly, a hushed murmur rippled through the air as a figure appeared on the horizon, riding atop a magnifict snow- parrot.
The crowd fell silt as the ethereal lady descded from the sky, her flowing garmts billowing a her like a cascade of clouds. In her hand, she wielded a long, slder staff, its ivory surface gleaming in the fading light.
Along with the mature lady, a young female, a 8 years old, descded from the parrot. She followed the elder obeditly.
As Elder Sinara alighted gracefully before them, the air seemed to grow colder, a shiver running down the spine of every onlooker as her mount exhaled a breath of frosty air. With a solemn expression, she surveyed the gathered assembly, her gaze piercing yet sere.
Patriarch Lysander stepped forward, his voice carrying authority and respect as he addressed the elder. “Welcome, Elder Sinara,” he began, his tone revert. “We are honored by your presce here at the Sky family estate.”
Elder Sinara inclined her head in acknowledgmt, her demeanor serious yet composed. “Thank you, Patriarch Sky,” she replied, her voice carrying the weight of years of wisdom.
“I came on the orders of my sect patriarch. Thank you for accepting me. She is my disciple, Zumi.” Elder Sinara spoke in an elderly tone.
As patriarch Sky turned his gaze towards Zumi, she didn’t ev greet him with a head nod. Ev though Zumi was a disciple, she ignored the patriarch Sky completely.
Covering his face with an with an awkward laugh, the patriarch gestured toward the grand trance of the estate, leading the way as Elder Sinara followed, her parrot trailing behind like a silt guardian.
As they passed through the ornate gates, the courtyard erupted into whispers of admiration and awe. All the faculty and Thea stayed outside without following the elder from the Autumn Wind sect.
“Thea, the elder from the Autumn Wind sect looks a lot younger than I expected.” Elder Cha, who stood beside Thea, spoke while staring at the leaving backs of Elder Sinara and her disciple Zumi.
“I heard Autumn Wind Sect has a natural spring pool. Water from that natural spring tastes like milk, and if we drink that water regularly, we can maintain our youthful appearance for a hundred years.” Thea replied with an vious look.
Thea always wanted to join a big sect and become a strong Maga. Due to a lack of wealthy backing, she stayed back in the silver leaf tone and became an elder with her talt.
“Thea, my sior brother is working as a personal instructor for the Gu family in Gold Bamboo City. If it is okay for you, I will arrange a meeting for both of you. How about it?” Elder Cha asked with an anticipated look.
Her sior brother Hry Cha has be asking Elder Cha for a long time to arrange a meeting with Thea. But Thea always rejected the elder Cha’s proposal.
“Leave it. I’m not interested in seeing any m now. First, I need to solidify my position as an elder in this school.” Thea replied while staring into the horizon. The image of Kt lingered in her thoughts, and a worry was etched on her face.

Inside a luxurious room in the Sky family estate, Elder of Autumn Wind Sect, Sinara, and her disciple Zumi settled down.
All the family members and the patriarch left them in peace. While Sinara was resting on the swinging wood chair, Zumi got busy arranging things for her master, Sinara.
“Master, you said we came for a disciple named Mia Snow. Instead of taking her away, what are you doing in this shabby town?” Zumi asked while removing the gold ornamts from the elder hands.
“Have some patice. Ev though we came for one girl disciple of Sky Family School, Matriarch ordered me to witness the competition of Sky Family and pick up any talted disciples during the competition.
“Master, you are thinking too much. How can this lowly place contain talted disciples? Also, our sect is a female sect. Finding a talted girl is utterly impossible.” Zumi replied with a dissatisfied smirk.
“Zumi, you should stop looking down on these small schools run by big families. Ev if there is a talted disciple in this place, with very few resources, it is very hard for them to shine and show off their skill.
Also, the disciple we came to pick up is participating in this tournamt. So, we can evaluate her strgth before taking her back to school. So, be calm and practice your snow spirit.” Elder Sinara spoke while leaning back on the chair with a relaxed sigh.
This time, Zumi stayed silt and didn’t refute Sinara’s words. She took out a small, glowing crystal-like stone from the storage pouch and sat in meditative posture in one corner.
Just as she sat down, the Sky family’s patriarch’s daughter, Leona, stepped inside the room carrying all types of delicacies.
Meanwhile, Kt still sat before the pond, ignoring the passing time. Mohini and Lambu were patitly guarding Kt in the dark night.
