It was bright and sunny this morning and Wei took a gentle walk outside in the garden looking for Ying Chun to find out if she was happy to stay, but he didn't need to ask. The garden had never looked so beautiful with flowers that he hadn't seen for quite some time and thought that they had died off in the cold weather. The little spirit was looking after everything, even the weeds had been moved back and she came to greet him as soon as she saw him walk towards her.
"Good morning My Lord, your garden is wonderful. It has many flowers I've never seen growing anywhere else. Did they come from the homeworld?"
Ying Chun turned away to look at the flowers behind her therefore she missed the puzzled expression on Shen Wei's face, who didn't know what she meant by 'the homeworld.' It was one of the secrets that the Black Robe Spirit had kept from him.
"Yes they are beautiful, but mainly due to you caring for them. Take some time and introduce yourself to Ava, she only remembers dreaming last night, nothing else. We won't tell her anything but I think you should. If you've seen her mind, you'll know that she's special the same as the rest of us."
Ying Chu nodded in agreement but she was hesitant about having to own up to her actions, while Shen Wei walked back towards the house with only one thought in his mind. Kunlun.
First, he summoned Guo Ying and asked him to stand guard outside his bedroom door and stop anyone from entering while he was out of touch. Ying could tell by his tone that Wei was angry about something. Very rarely did he ever show his moods at home, but he was going to talk to Kunlun, therefore his anger wasn't about anything involving the house or staff, so Ying stood guard waiting until he returned.
Shen Wei lay down on his bed and took a deep breath in to calm his mind before he closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them he was facing Kunlun who had felt his outrage as soon as he'd appeared.
The white Enigma Room had lost its brilliance and the walls were turning grey to match Wei's mood.
"Kunlun, explain, HOME WORLD."
"My Lord, the Black Robe Spirit felt that he was protecting you by not telling you everything that he knew, and the orb was lost for a long time, so there was no need to say anything. The orb is the key to open the doorway to the home world but usually only to send criminals back who are too strong for punishment here, because the humans can't contain them."
Wei gave it some thought while Kunlun watched, aware that his walls were still grey and not improving.
"Is that why the special hospital was built, to house the really dangerous criminals because the orb was lost? Because I don't think you're telling me everything. Out with it Kunlun, everything."
"Partly yes. Some criminals in the past were far too dangerous to transport and it was the only way to contain them. Their spirits were trapped up here in a different area, partitioned off with indestructible walls and the powers-at-be watched them constantly but I checked on them now and again.
