Thirty minutes later,
A girl with chestnut brown hair appeared to be outside the room. She was already walking as fast as she could, as if afraid of missing something.
I have to meet Madame Ethnia as soon as possible to convey the message I received in the dreamland. Yeah, she might feel strange, but nevertheless, it still has to be said. Maybe it could help the Healer, thought Alexa, who would soon arrive at the desired location.
A few moments later, that young lady arrived in front of the medical room. The first daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira, without further ado, knocked on the door, but she did not do this in a hurry. Meanwhile, the Healer’s assistant heard a strange sound, so she, who was in front of the altar, immediately looked in all directions to find the source of the sound.
“Did I hear correctly? I heard a sound, but where did it come from, huh?” muttered Menka, who was still looking for the source of the sound.
When the blue-eyed woman found the right direction, Menka immediately walked in that direction while Alexa continued to knock on the door, even though she had not received a response from inside the medical room. “Is Madame Ethnia away? If she is not there, shouldn’t her assistant stay? I hope she is here.”
Just as the young girl had finished saying that, the door opened from the inside, which made the girl silent. Menka was no less surprised when she saw who the guests were. “I… is Madame Ethnia here?” Alexa asked politely.
“Madame Ethnia… she is somewhere else, but still in the orphanage area. What was wrong, Alexa?” answered Menka, who knew very well who the girl standing in front of her was.
“I want to convey a message to Madame Ethnia.” That young lady explained her purpose in coming there, and the person she was talking to looked interested because she was curious about the content of the message the Chosen One wanted to say.
“You can tell me, and I will inform her.” The woman, who had a height of one hundred and sixty-four centimetres tall, persuaded Alexa to tell her the truth. The messenger of Goddess Magia did not want to answer because she felt unsure about Menka, even though the person she was talking to was Madame Ethnia’s assistant.
“Tell her that she does not have to worry because I am safe.” Alexa did not know why did she say like that, so Menka frowned, because she was confused by the information that had been given by the granddaughter of Sir Elmer Louis Writh and Madame Phoenix Lily Katira. The Chosen One’s expression looked very serious, which indicated she was not joking.
“What did you mean?” Menka did not want to make a mistake when conveying the message, so he asked Alexa for additional information, who still had not moved from there.
“I had a dream. There, I got several clues. One of them was for Madame Ethnia. I have already told you that message.” Alexa explained in broad terms because she only wanted to reveal details to the person she was talking to, and the tone of voice she used remained polite, so Menka was not offended at all.
“Okay, Alexa. When Madame Ethnia arrives, I will inform her about your arrival and the message.” The thirty-six-year-old woman made a promise to the teenage girl, so Alexa just nodded as a sign of agreement.
“Thank you, Madame Menka. I have to go now.” After saying that sentence, the tall, slim girl turned around and left Menka alone as soon as possible. A woman who always looked youthful could only watch Alexa go without any intention of stopping her.
“Alexa has started to get clues through dreams. This situation may not be the first time, but it is still my first to hear this directly. Could the ancient prophecy be being fulfilled more quickly, especially as the girl’s magickal abilities are increasing?” Menka said to herself because she actually remembered her conversation with that young lady.
The messenger of Goddess Magia continued to walk, even though there was disappointment in her heart.
I could not meet Madame Ethnia because she was still away. Hopefully, Madame Menka will not forget and will tell her immediately. I am hungry. Is the dining room open? I have to check it out now so that my stomach doesn’t hurt because I am late for lunch, thought Alexa, who continued walking, feeling sad.

Thirty-five minutes later
A woman dressed in white clothes typical of a Healer had just arrived in front of the medical room. Madame Ethnia immediately opened the door, so her action shocked the assistant because she had not heard any signs of anyone else coming, including knocking on the door.
“What happened to you?” asked the Senior Healer, confused by Menka’s strange attitude.
“I am just surprised, Madame,” answered Menka, honestly.
Menka did not expect Ethnia to come in without knocking on the door, but the girl did not want to repeat the same topic. The other person just stared at the junior’s face for a few seconds, then left, which relieved the slender woman. When her senior entered another room, suddenly, she seemed to have forgotten something but could not exactly remember what it was.
“It seems I forgot something important, but what is that? I hope it is not urgent because it could have dangerous consequences.” The blonde woman tried to remember because she had not yet answered.
Ethnia had placed a wooden box on the table and then decided to sit on the chair there. The quiet atmosphere was able to relax her, even if only for a moment. “I feel sorry for Odessa, Drena, Frazto, Shul, and Drutz. They are indeed naughty children, but in the detention room, they are being harassed by a female ghost, so they are always screaming and traumatized. If they have the same situation like that, then I am sure neither Madame Aufrodine nor Madame Loiston will care about them.”
The grey-eyed woman could not say anything else because she was already tired. Ethnia started to put both hands on the table, then placed her hands there in a downward position so that she could use them as a pillow. The Healer closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep without further ado.

In dreamland
A woman appeared to be floating in the air. She saw a woman who was so familiar, so without hesitation, she approached the person, even though the target was completely unaware of this. “Ethnia. Why are you here?”
When she heard someone calling her name, Ethnia looked back, and she did not find anyone there, so the woman who had worked as a Healer for seventeen years was confused. “Who called my name earlier? I did not see anyone here.”
That immortal goddess, who was flying, was still observing the behaviour of the Healer, who was confused looking for her. “Look up, and you will find me.”
Ethnia followed these words and spontaneously prostrated herself because she did not expect to meet Goddess Erie. “I apologize because I did not recognize you, Goddess. Please have mercy on me.”
That immortal goddess did not seem to mind what had happened because her face seemed flat, and no aura of anger radiated. “I have forgiven you. Why are you here? What have you done?”
The thirty-seven-year-old woman fell silent. Madame Ethnia tried to remember what activities she had done. The Goddess of Healing and Medicine waited for the answer from the other person, and she remained silent. “I was healing the physical and mental wounds of five teenagers who were locked up in a detention room underground, Goddess.”
“Besides that? Did you forget something very important?” Goddess Erie asked Ethnia because she already knew about the arrival of the messenger of Goddess Magia, who had arrived there first. Still, Menka had not told the Healer about this moment.
A woman, who had a height of one hundred and sixty-seven centimetres tall, returned to silence. Ethnia was really confused because she felt that everything she had done had been told to the immortal goddess.
If I am not mistaken, I already told our lady, but she still asked for it. Would it be polite if I asked Goddess Erie directly? Ethnia thought, still in a prone position.
“If you want to ask, just do it. I will not be angry.” That immortal goddess seemed to read her devotee’s mind and provide answers to the questions in Ethnia’s mind.
The senior Healer, who was in charge of the medical room at the Ztatzav Orphanage, was stunned and dared to raise her head. Ethnia saw the same immortal goddess in the same position with an expressionless face. The Healer asked the other person politely and respectfully, “I apologize, Goddess. If you have objections, please clarify the explanation because I do not understand?”
“Now you get up and meet Menka. The Chosen One was coming to your place, and your junior got her message, but she forgot to tell it.” Goddess Erie spoke in the same voice as at the beginning, and the information provided by the immortal goddess surprised Ethnia. The Healer seemed at a loss for words, but she tried to control herself.
“What? Gosh, I really did not know about that. Thank you for the answer, Goddess.” Ethnia felt very embarrassed because the immortal goddess whom the Healers worshipped had openly reprimanded her assistant. That woman prostrated herself again because she could not bear to feel apologetic towards Goddess Erie for Menka’s actions, which resulted in her being condemned.
“You must ask her quickly. Do you know why I never entrusted Menka to be in charge like you? Because she is forgetful and sometimes likes to look down on younger people. These qualities are very bad because other people can easily attack her.”
“Yes, Goddess.”
Ethnia woke up as soon as possible with a feeling of confusion. Her heart was beating so fast that even the Healer felt embarrassed because she remembered everything Goddess Erie said. “Menka… this can’t be allowed,” muttered the curvy woman.
Without wasting any time, the woman who had worked as a Healer for seventeen years immediately got up from her chair and walked out of the room. She saw her assistant sweeping the floor, and the atmosphere in the health room was very quiet.
“Menka,” Ethnia called the girl, so the girl appeared.
Menka walked over to the senior without further ado, carrying a broom. When she arrived, the girl asked, “What was wrong, Madame?”
“Was there someone who came and looked for me when I was away? She must be leaving a message, right? Why were you silent?”
