The morning light bled through the curtains. Its rays were so bright and it was obvious that it wasn't the early hours of the morning. I slept heavily last night.

"Come in."
She came inside, and I rose to my feet, brushing the wrinkles off my dress. I stepped into the bathhouse and got ready in less than five minutes.
"You don't seem to be yourself." Jada said as I combed the last part of my hair. Her eyes flicked over me, noticing my uneasy movements.
"I'm fine," I smiled faintly. "Let's go."
We settled in the library and the book of seers was placed on the table.
