            "Who are you eight kids in my mansion?" Said the lady at the stairs in the room once they entered.
The lady,wearing a red velvet gown with so many gems on it,came  down with great passion." Shunkun! Are they one of your silly boys?!"

Shunkun did an eye roll,saying," Actually mom,they're just visitors here. And I think it has something to do with this red ruby promise."

"Aha! I see. You eight want to pass Ego's test,huh? Let me introduce myself, my name's Erwtiha Aroiki, Definitely Ego's beautiful and only gorgeous wife. And this is-"

"Shunkun. Blah bla-blah."
The boy interrupted.

Erwtiha cleared her throat,saying," Ahem,and I also have a stepdaughter whom my husband has now for a prisoner. Her name's-"

Before she could continue her line, a long white-haired girl interrupted her who stood before a pillar at the corner of the room." Corii, Corii Lumaili-Aroiki that is."

Gaberielai recognized her,she was the girl whom she saw standing behind the trees in the woods on their way home.
                She could not speak,but she had a thought." She's the one,she's the one. The one I met.."
She suddenly had a flashback:
         Corii (in her teen years with Gabi as six y/o) kneeled before a rose shrub.
The thorns hurt,but her heart is only moaning for something else.
       Gabi,as young as she is,plunged onto her mother's cloak.
Erwtiha and her mom had been talking for minutes. After a lengthy discussion, Gabi's mom left her with her luggage.
  Gabi couldn't take a single sight at the lady next to her. All she wanted to do now is to know the other kid better.
       
         Shunkun,who got nine years already,stared at her from the second-floor balcony.
Gabi looked back at him just as he left.
She took another path,the path towards the girl. Corii's hands were bleeding and not one tear is running down her cheeks.
   Gabi wasn't surprised,for she is often innocent and not familiar with these things.
Her eyes widened,and at last
               She slowly fell in a gentle sleep.

                                            ......
Gaberielai trembled and could hardly breathe.
          Ayissaki noticed her," G-Gabi? A-are you okay?"

    Gabi couldn't speak,but she wish she could.
Instead she looked at her and nods her head.
          Ayissaki completely understand of what she meant to say and did bother no more.
