Rain thundered over Light. Nature was healing itself after the fight. The mosses and ferns were everywhere around the academy. Shannon walked up a hill with her umbrella to watch the rain when she heard a dog barking.

She turned to see a black Labrador retriever dog with a letter clutched in its mouth with the help of his teeth. Shannon stared at the dog with an uncanny look. She found it extremely odd to see a dog carrying a letter in its mouth. And it was standing near Shannon without moving.

The dog simply stared at her with its golden eyes. Then he gently placed the letter under the shade of the umbrella and ran away barking.

Shannon looked at the letter stunned. She had never received a letter from a dog. She picked the letter up and tore it open to read.

Dear Shannon,

Congratulations on your victory. I hope I was of some help to you. Today you must be having a lot of doubts about who this Mrs. Nigel you met was. For the time being, I can only tell you, I will be there to help you.

When the time is right, the right person will send you to me. You should know, in the future. Certain things are going to surprise you. Sometimes there may be more to people who you thought were your enemies.

You should try to be wise and understand who is actually deceitful. Otherwise, you may make the wrong judgment. Apparently, it's not about waiting for the storm to pass by. But learning to dance in the rain that matters.

Now, as I told you. We will meet when the time is right. Until then goodbye.

By yours,

Mrs. Nigel.

Shannon read the letter over and over. Now, the question of who Mrs. Nigel was getting more and more suspicious to Shannon. She tucked the letter in her pocket. Then looking at the rain Shannon asked herself what Mrs. Nigel meant by 'it is not about waiting for the storm to pass by but learning to dance in the rain that matters.'
