Teriel stretched up from her bed. Her long white hair puffed and wavy like a sheep with fat hair that was never cut. After her short time in the hot springs, she felt so much regenerated with so much energy she could fight her way through the entire army of the Commander to come face-to-face in the throne of the King himself.

She felt so happy when the dawn came to her and her new life under a new roof. She slept through the day she came to the cabin and spent the entire night in the same room she chose. She only escaped when she sensed her brother's mind coming to a terrain of hot springs. She used a teleportation spell to teleport her way to the other side of the boulder Tereus leaned his head against.

It was a relaxing time for her to enjoy since she traveled on griffins in flight. She hated the air travel with no stops, due to a large army that may follow closely behind her.

Now with all the air travel out of the way, she could keep her feet solid on the ground instead of gravity taking hold of her. She didn't have a fear of heights, but a fear of falling. She didn't know what kind of landscape, rock bottom, or canyon she would strike if falling from a great height. So, she intends to stay on the ground instead to go flying off into the horizon.

She rolled out of her bed to deal with her wavy hair. Against the wall, a single mirror on a small table with a few drawers with a comb, makeup and everything stood. Teriel had everything she needed for Teriel had everything she needed to show her beauty, but her focus was her hair; she didn't see any more accessories to show her beauty due to her being the Yang Goddess.

She looked at her hair and face that reflected of her pale, white hair. She pulled opened to find an oil-based product made for wavy hair like Teriel's hair. She opened the cap to pull a think, clear liquid and lots of it. Her hair was long and wavy, so she squeezed a handful on her open hand.

After getting a full handful, she placed the product, which was a small container, on the tabletop. She rubbed the liquid with both hands and spread across her hair, getting it moist and wet.

After a few minutes, she tossed her hair and saw it dragging down over her shoulders and back. "That's better," she said to herself.

Then she exited out of the bedroom with her new shiny, glazing hair. The product was a self-absorbent hair cleaner now she didn't need to take the time to take a bath to wash her hair and just go out to enjoy what time she had before coming to think of what to do next of her future.

She walked out of the log cabin to see the plants, the forests, and the mountains. But once she got outside, she forgot to look at something: her clothes. She looked what she was dressed in the same ones from the city her escape, but she waved her head in a manner of saying, "Whatever!" She didn't care what she was wearing as long she was wearing something.

Teriel took a stroll through the woods to see the plants the Sun had to offer, and it was just the typical green flowers and sunflowers to catch her eyes. Squirrels brushed against the tree branches with their tails banging against the bark. A fawn frolicked with the mother doe.

After seeing a few animals, Teriel made her way downhill. She walked the blossoming of the trees. Soft, mellow winds blew through the treetops, with leaves falling from the smooth breeze.

She traveled about ten miles away from the cabin to come across an open terrain through the mountains' forest. An open valley of long grass filled with blossoming roses and flowers. A few lakes reflected copies of the snowy mountains far behind them with small rivers flowing from the mountaintops.

Most importantly, she could see what lies beneath the sun and she could tell what the sun reflected through her mind. With the power of the sun at her side, she could tell what places was within ten miles from where she stood. Teriel could see everything the sun touched beneath its blinding light.
