"Well Ela, what do you think?"Kataki asked me as both of them looked at me.

I looked at Kataki, then at Sir Yug'tig'tho as both of them stared at me like I was their only hope. I started fidgeting with my fingers as I hid them behind my back and started thinking. Thinking about what white aura means; thinking what light blue aura means. I just wanted to know why me and why now...

'If I won't try I won't know...'

"After consideration, I came to conclusion" I took a deep breath as I tried finding suitable words." that I will represent your brother, as his Defence Attorney, Sir Yug'tig'tho."

What happened next was one of those moments that would restore faith in humanity. Sir Yug'tig'tho stared at me like he was still processing what I said and then lunged at me to hug me, while his eyes started flooding his brown-ish face with tears of happiness. He then started chanting something repetitively and after a minute he started chanting English 'thank you'.

"Thank you!" He said for a thousandth time when I was finally able to get out of his tight grip.

"No need to."I finally said as I bowed."Wait here for a minute, I will be right back."

And then I ran toward my room, trying not to step on one of the dodgy planks. As I got in my room and made sure I locked it, I looked through my clothes to find the most formal ones I had. After a minute, I decided for a black vest with a blue blazer and light blue skirt. I quickly glanced at a mirror I brought with me to check on my hair. Still looked normal. As I wanted to walk out, I stopped and looked back; at the exact moment, my Defence Attorney badge shone on the desk, as rays of sun danced into my room through a window. I quickly got back, grabbed it and pinned it on my collar while I walked toward the Living room.

"Let's go then!" Kataki said as he noticed me.

He then quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him as I yelled to slow down or to wait for Sir Yug'tig'tho; he simply ignored me as his red coat nearly hit me few times due to the wind.

"Slow down Kataki!!!" I yelled few times but gave up as he continued to ignore me.

After giving up, I looked around as I continued to run behind him. The road was rocky and bumpy, not ideal road for cars such as Mercedes. From time to time something small and green passed my eyes, probably grass that somehow rose up between those big and heavy stones. The buildings that we passed looked old but warm. Overall everything looked like brown and grey mixed together but at the same time, looked happy and safe.

After few minutes of continuous running, Kataki finally stopped. I also stopped and grabbed my knees as I stared at the floor, trying to catch my breath.

"I'm not... the sporty kid... Kataki..." I threw out as I continued to breathe heavily.

"Well, you will need to get some cardio then!"Kataki laughed as he proudly stared at something with his hands on his sides."Hap'piraki to the High Court of Khura'in!"

I finally forced my body to look up, still catching a breath in big gasps, I quickly backed away. The building was huge! Made out of solid stone, beige bricks with grand entry, made out of same coloured stone, but polished. Small garden at the sides of entry was filled with orange, like sunflowers, flowers. Those flowers were also full of small, purple and beautiful butterflies.

"Those are Nahmanda flowers, people often plant them near graves when someone close to them died." Kataki said in a calm tone and pointed at one butterfly." Some also say those butterflies are the souls of the dead."

"They are beautiful..." I said as my chocolate eyes sparkled.

"But what's important now is inside-the trial will soon begin Ela,"Kataki said as he, once again, grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
