Levi nodded, suspecting that there were likely some hidden secrets involved. But it didn't matter anymore—Aya was now under his protection. With his power, he could easily shelter her as she grew. The old events, long buried in the past, were just dust in the wind, soon to dissipate.
Aya looked at the sprouting buds on the banyan tree and curiously asked, "Island Master, I remember the goddess lived here. Are we back at the Youth Grassland?"
Levi shook his head. "The goddess had to go somewhere far away. You'll understand when she wakes up."
Aya nodded, then returned to her tree hollow to arrange her cozy little space before continuing her meditation and practice.
"This little one has it good; she started her journey in Rome, so to speak. Unlike me, who had to rely on myself and the panel, clawing my way up from the bottom," Levi mused, feeling a sense of satisfaction as he watched Aya's growth.
