Amara's POV
They had gone on their mission for more than three weeks now, my birthday is on the next day. My aunt stopped my training so I have sufficient time to prepare for the rite. The reality is I never had a chance to prepare since I don't know what do I need to become ready. My friends occupied my mind. I felt so forlorn since I haven't seen them for a long time now. I spend most of my day at the forest entryway and the gazebo. Most of the time Serpentina and Tina accompanied me, but there is a moment I want to be alone.
