"I'm so sorry Aisha but you wouldn't shut up and I had to do something about it" Yukio whispered as she watched the attendant leave.
She gave her checks a soft slap when she remembered Rudina was more important than anything at the moment.
"Ring the bell" she whispered again.
Rudina turned around on her bed looking for the bell as she scratched her skin away. Where had she put it? She remembered placing it behind her pillow but she couldn't find it there.
In annoyance and fear that she would scratch her body forever Rudina threw and her pillow to the ground screaming.
Ding!
At the sound of the bell everywhere became white and Rudina was suddenly in a strange place. She looked around wondering where she was.
She could have sworn that she was in her room just a moment ago with her body itching her so bad it hurts. 'My body!' She raised her hands looking at herself but there was no mark in fact she looked more better than she had ever looked.
She remembered feeling her skin fall off as she took off her clothes and she remembered how she felt her nails peel off her skin as she scratched her body.
Was it all a dream? She asked herself. But she knew it was too vivid to be a dream. She remembered the feeling of a thousand needles being pierced into her skin continuously, she remembered everything.
"What is going on?" She whispered, flummoxed.
"Nothing" Rudina heard a voice whisper.
She stopped, surprised. What was going on? She was the only person here so who was talking.
"Over here my child" The voice whispered again.
Rudina turned around to find a lady standing behind her. The place that was white changed into a little garden with a waterfall in it.
The lady who was talking was sitting beside the waterfall with two white wolves beside her. She held a cub in her hand while the other wolf Cubs played with the two wolves beside her.
Her face was covered with a white veil and a golden crown was at the top of her head, which held the veil in place. She was wearing a white gown that was adored with golden jewelries all over her body.
Rudina couldn't see her hair very well but the part of her Rudina could see was as white as snow. Rudina stared in awe. Yukio-Sama's hair was nothing compared to this.
"Purity" She whispered remembering when Yukio told her about Purity.
"Purity? Are you talking about my hair?" The lady asked with a soft voice.
"Yes" Rudina whispered back.
She giggled "I see Yukio is teaching you"
Yukio hadn't thought Rudina anything related to her changing colors except from what she said on the first day. Throughout the time Rudina had spent with Yukio all she had learned was how to take care of herself but Rudina wasn't going to say that. She smiled.
She laughed silently "That's part of learning My child"
"Eh?! Did you just…." Rudina pointed at her surprised.
A tale has been told from time past. No one who stepped into the garden of Leto had been able to come out alive but after her family was attacked, Rudina along with her friends left with nowhere to escape, ventured into the garden and there, they stumbled upon a shrine where they got separated. No one had ever seen the goddess of Leto and Rudina had no idea she would be in line to be the next goddess. After years of training, she comes out stronger and fully ready to save her people. But then, she meets someone who the previous goddess requested she meet.
Along with her friends, she would find the truth behind why her cousin was present the day her father died and why those behind his death knew the secret passage.
