Towards the Magic Forest

“What did he want?” one of the elders asked Wang Ju Long as soon as Hui Yue had turned down the street and was walking out of sight.

“He came to say goodbye before leaving to train within the Magical Forest,” Wang Ju Long answered obediently. Her entire life had been decided by these elders. Although she held no hate towards these men, she felt no warm feelings of belonging either.

“What is that memory stone?” another elder asked, greedily eyeing the memory stone which Wang Ju Long held within her hand. A feeling of stubbornness suddenly was born within the heart of Wang Ju Long at the mention of this stone.

“It is a present for me,” she said as her hand gripped it tightly. “It is notes from Hui Yue on how to cultivate more efficiently, but he told me not to share them with anyone else.”
