Temporary Separation

TO SAY that Nia Moonchester was surprised when she woke up in an almost empty house would be an exaggeration.

Aside from the Supreme, the Black Serpent, and the children, everyone was gone. The Red Phoenix, the Golden Tiger, the former saint, and the former Black Serpent and Red Phoenix Knights had all vanished.

They probably left the North last night.

And she didn't even feel or hear anything. She fell asleep early and had a good night sleep. But that was the strangest thing. Whenever she was in the Royal Palace, or the temple where she was "locked up," she would always wake up even with the softest thud. She was pretty certain that her food didn't have any "sleeping potion" on them though.

Is it my room? Did they put a calming spell in my room so I wouldn't wake up?
