(After lunch was over, Alora went to Lydia carrying the hope that atleast this time, she'll be adopted and find a home.)
Lydia: Hello there, little one.
Alora: Hi! Is it possible to take me with you?
Lydia: I was about to ask the same question, would you like to go home with me?
Alora: Home? (Her eyes sparkled at that word.)
Lydia: Yeah, home, with me!
Alora: Yes, I want to!
(Alora went to hug Lydia, Lydia bent down to embrace Alora who was whispering in her ears:-)
Alora: They told me that no one would adopt me! See, you proved them wrong!
Lydia: Aww, you're such a sweet kid.
(Lydia directly glanced at Mary as if telling her that no one would even like to imagine the hardships they put Alora through.)
Mary: Ms. Johnas is the one in charge of that branch, she seems to have fled.
Alora: Of course she fled...
Lydia: You needn't worry, this empire has a law not to abuse kids, she'll be caught and will have to pay.
Alora: Ohh, that's a relief, no one would go through the same pain as me.
Lydia: You can call me 'mom' if it's alright with you?
Alora: Yes, mom!
(Lydia and Alora were sitting on a carriage opposite to eachother, Alora felt comfort for the first time, she never rode a carriage before so this is her first time on one..Perhaps bearing it by yourself was too overwhelming so she decided to blurt it all out..It's not what her mind wanted but it's definitely what her heart wanted.)
Lydia: What!? You can see the time people die and the cause too! And you can see ghosts too!? That's insane, child. I knew it from the moment l saw you, you are a born golden prodigy destined to save the world!
Alora: Umm, mom, what do you mean by, "To save the world"? Is the world in danger right now? Forgive me, I know too little information about the outside world.
Lydia: Don't ask for forgiveness for silly things, afterall, I am your mother.
(Alora knew that she could find solace in the presence of her mom..Maybe god already planned this for her..)
Lydia: Yeah, the world is in critical danger right now, child, do you know about demons and monsters?
Alora: I've heard of them, nasty creatures who like to hurt people.
Lydia: 'Kill' people to be exact, such a malice to the world, we are born with special powers to save the world known as hunters, hunters are classified into mages, archmages, mechanaries, priests, healers, sworsmen and alchemists.
Alora: Mom, what's your job?
Lydia: I am an priestess...
Alora: So cool, you're a hero!
Lydia: I don't save people but l do help people.
Alora: Will I be an 'hero'?
Lydia: Certainly if that's what you want.
(Everything semt perfect, Alora was about to see her own home where she'll be staying...Before she knew it, she was fast asleep..Lydia sat with Alora, gently placing her head on her shoulder..)
Lydia: She must've been so tired...
