Old Man

A few moments ago, Uoiea jumped out of her room, careful not to be seen by anyone. She drifted on the wind before hiding in the posts, playing hide and seek with the knights guarding the palace walls.

After several attempts at sneaking out without anyone noticing, she succeeded in doing so.

"Finally out!" She exclaimed in satisfaction, though her voice barely a whisper.

The city was buzzing with activities; there were merchants several meters away from the palace walls while street performers stole every child's gaze. Uoiea couldn't help but smile upon seeing the blissful status of her place. However, the content of the letter from earlier erased the amused expression on her face.

'What will happen to these people?' She pondered, halting in her tracks.

Then she looked in the direction leading to the Celestial Seer's place. She wanted to meet her to know what the letter truly meant.
