Sealed Memories

Inside the rusty cottage, 

on the bed, a woman was asleep. It was as if she was resting ever so peacefully. The rest she always struggled to have. Her eyelids fluttered slightly, indicating that she was about to wake up. 

After a minute or so, she finally groggily opened her eyes.

'How long have I been asleep?' Ting Boazhi thought to herself. She felt as if she had slept for a long long time. The last thing she remembered before falling into a deep sleep, was the glittery potion. right! The potion. Did it work? She indeed felt as if she had a much milder temperament now. Does that mean she can go back to the palace now? 

She looked around, trying to find the old woman who brewed the potion for her.

"Childe, you are awake." An amiable voice floated to her ears.

She turned only to see the old woman from earlier entering from outside of the cottage. She had a basket of flowers in her hands.
