indeed intact you weren't seen by the
master were you Gian nodded explaining I
hid as soon as I spotted them they shoot
and to have noticed me that s good it
spares us considerable trouble however
being seen wooden have been catastrophic
the crow trailed off I must take my
leave now if the master inquires just
tell him you've never seen me I'll wait
for you by the lake of the golden nanu
tomorrow the crow took flight to the
window sill casting a deep glance back
at Gian G before plucking a feather from
its plumage and presenting it to her
this is my most beautiful feather from
now on you shall be my master this
symbolizes our bond Gian G accepted the
feather which was the same one she had
once used to control the crow realizing
the crow genuinely wished to accompany
her yet she wondered why it could not
form a contract perhaps its identity as
a Divine bird precluded such an
agreement lost in thought she toyed with
the black feather point one by one her
classmates returned likely having been
busy throughout the night
without assistance from boats retrieving
30 sunken boxes from the seafloor was
indeed a daunting task at 5:00 Gian G
prepared to wash up and head to class
today s lesson was to be held in the
courtyard of the meowing Hall and upon
entering she spotted her three friends
all sporting dark circles under their
eyes they were surprised to see Gian
equally weary for she had already
synthesized the ocean star and
theoretically should not have needed to
continue her efforts to retrieve the Sun
boxes why then did she also bear dark
circles however this shared exhaustion
was somewhat comforting at least she was
not alone in her sleeplessness today the
master of Harmony did not attend class
instead it was s hexian who informed
them observing the quartet fatigued
Expressions he furrowed his brow and
asked what is going on were you all out
robbing last night Gian felt a Pang of
guilt as she indeed had been engaged in
dubious activities Emos sha spoke up
senior brother we ve all had pressing
matters lately with daytime classes we
could only manage our tasks at night
very well today as classes are canceled.
go rest this is the assignment left by
the master song hexian distributed the
assignments to the four casting a
lingering glance at them before they
expressed their gratitude and departed
each of them hurried back to retrieve
the newly refreshed sunken boxes from
the seaf floor hoping for peace of mind
to finally rest Gian G made her way to

leisurely fishing little black what are
you up to upon hearing gian's voice the
crow turned clutching a small fish and
approached her would you like to eat
fish my treat Gian glanced at the tiny
fish barely larger than her palm and
pulled out a prepared grilled fish from
her backpack placing It On The Ground
let us stick to mine the two a girl and
a bird shared a tranquil breakfast by
the Lakeside enjoying the shimmering
surface of the water as the sun rose
higher the gentle breeze stirred the
lake and tousled gian's hair why are you
down here so early I thought you'd have
to wait until 8 giangi inquired
curiously how do you know what time it
is without a watch I gauge it by the
position of the sun you don't know how
to do that giangi pouted if I did I
wouldn't he have asked its thanks to you
I don't know what happened but the
master of Harmony decided to cancel
class today the crow stuck out its
tongue and paced by the lake you've
become my master you're not just joking
about bringing me home are you of course
not we can return home as soon as you
wish the crow gazed quietly at the lake
and said let us go deoni gestured for
