章節 7: Golden
Day and night I would meditate. I like this refreshing feeling. Everything went smoothly. A feeling like drinking flowing water without choking or drowning. It just poured right into your stomach without making you full.
Every time this sensation happen I would uncontrollably sweat. I even resort to doing it without my clothes on just underwear, it's not like somebody's gonna see me in the night.
Maybe the Guards of the Five but meh, it's not like they would punish me because of that. Or else I would have been warned long ago.
Well, I need to clean myself I can't sleep with all this dirt.
After taking a bath, I went back to the library. I went to the corner of the bookshelves where I had been staying for the past 5 years. I hurriedly lay down lying flat on the floor.
Being excited really affects your sleep. I'm so wide awake my heart is racing. What should I do? I'll try counting sheep.
Not effective.
Sing a song. Still, not effective.
Get tired? But I'll get sweaty again.
I'll try reciting the Sunflower breathing mantra then.
As I recited the mantra while I lay flat on the floor my consciousness slowly faded from black. Then from black to white, white to different hues, then becomes purple, and finally to gold.

I must be dreaming. This place is blinding, everything is golden. Even the water rushing through the river is golden.
"It's because of the different energy flowing here."
But it's truly golden the lands are even gold. How do these trees grow?
"You're using your consciousness sight to see this plane that's why. If you use your regular eyes then you'll see it like you normally see everything. It's not really that special. It's still land that people can walk and trees can grow."
Such a fancy place. Huh? Wait how do you know what I'm thinking? Who are you?
"I am nobody. Go back to your body now. It'll be dangerous if you stay here for too long. I hope you don't wander here again."
Wai. . . . . . .
Somebody pushed me. It was probably him.

I was sucked back down by the blackness. I woke up badly sweating. It felt like I fell off a cliff, such a scary feeling.
What a weird dream it was. I should stop reciting mantras while asleep. It's not a good idea.
Oh well, now I can't get back to sleep.
Dong Dong Dong
Eh?
It's already morning? But it feels like it was just a moment. If I timed it, it was just a minute I guess.
This is crazy. Welp dreams do be like that sometimes. It's a dream, right?
Forget it I'll focus on today's event. The day I've been waiting for has finally come. Forget about meaningless distractions.
The ringing of bells signifies the start of the day and the start of checking our foundations.
We were asked not to do our daily exercise today. We just need to take a bath as per instructed by Mr. Fred.
After taking a bath and changing my clothes, I first headed to Deniesha's Spell block. When I reached the front of the block she was already heading out.
"Good morning Deniesha." I greeted, "I'm so excited yesterday that I went to sleep through reciting mantras."
"Really? You should not overdo it, Lorenzo. You might harm your body because of it." she sincerely advised.
"Don't worry. I properly rested last night just like you said. I'm just eager to prove that you're the best than anyone here." I said.
She smirked while she pushed me with her elbow, "I'm not the best. It's you who's the best among us. Who would be foolish enough to study every language? It's you."
"But I made it because of your help," I said.
"Even if I didn't offer to help you. You will still do it." she gleamed.
"I'll probably surrender when it gets hard," I replied.
"No, you won't."
"Why won't you budge? I know myself I'll really do it."
"But you never did. We even encountered our slowest progress but you still pushed through."
"Because you made it easy for me to understand it."
"No, I did not. I just taught you how it was supposed to be taught. I didn't do anything special."
"Still. . ."
"NO . . . you . . ."

We quarreled our way towards the platform. We never quarrel before. This was the first time. She was not mad though. She was even laughing when we were quarreling. This girl has something wrong with her head, she's being stubborn.
"Hey. I never had a brother before, can you be my brother?" she asked.
I was taken aback but I answered, "Yes, but you're like the older sister though. You always helped me whenever I need help."
"Eh, now that you said it. How old are you?" she asked curiously.
"Now I'm 13 years old. How about you?"
"No, it's wrong to ask a woman her age. You will not be getting any girl if you do that!" she ridiculed yet still replied, "I'm turning 15 next month. So I'm the older sister huh?"
"Told ya."
She then hit me on the head. We laughed again not caring about our loud voices.
Thud thud thud
Mr. Fred tapped his cane which made us children silent. Again, they brought the urns.
One by one the children's from each block lined up and hold the urns in turns.
Yellow, green, green, green, yellow, there were also whites.
Unexpectedly there were still black urns. And I remember some of them. They were the ones who passed out during exercises.
Next were Marco and Sheen. Their results were shocking they both have the same result, red.
They've been working hard these past few years also, good for them. I thought.
Then we got the first purple followed by a second. They came from the Sin and Spell block. The two looked like twins. This two boys move so symmetrically that you thought the other one brought a mirror.
Why do I am surrounded by weird people? Maybe I'm weird myself.
My turn then came. I excitedly hold the urn. I hope I get good results, I prayed inside my heart.
First, it changes to white, then green, and slowly turns yellow.
I looked back to Deniesha, smiling at her. I can see her look so proud.
But it didn't end at that. It went to bloody red slowly getting blacker then lighter. Now my urn's purple which shocked me greatly.
How can this happen?
Out of the blue, the purple gleamed brightly, and now it became golden.
