55 Chapter 23: Gloria of Rebirth

Mana Stood up from the fountain, and the garden was empty as both Sunflower and Rose are occupied elsewhere. She stepped through the Long Halls that are decorated with Tapestry's of her Children, The One's who descended into Godhood that is. She glanced at Peony's finished

Mana Pinched her face.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Gloria pouted at her check being pinched like a child.
