day, as if nothing has happened.
'But something has happened,' I reminded, looking up again. 'So much has changed in so little time.'
Rhünilde nodded. 'I know - but we are still friends. Even though magic now flows through my veins, magic always flowed through our friendship and will continue to do so until the end of time.'
I was so overcome that I hugged her, weeping.
'Rhünilde,' I sobbed. 'I'm … s-s-sorry.'
'There's no need to be,' she comforted, patting me on the back. I drew back.
'You seem so much more c-c-confident,' I said, wiping away my tears. 'Different.'
'I wouldn't say different, just changed. Care to walk with me?' I smiled and nodded as the sun began to rise over the hills.
As we walked around, I eyed the Dylphis tree, wondering about what it had said. It's conversation continually racked through my brains as I tried to find out the real meaning for it's conversation.

The truth will come to you Arra when you least expect it.
What truth though? It surely couldn't be anything to do with becoming a Shaman because that task had clearly gone to Rhünilde. I thought about what other things it could be - maybe it was the fact that I was friends with Rhünilde and that somehow we would be separated in some way …
No, I said to myself. Separated? No, that can't surely happen … we're the best of friends. Though we are somewhat different now. Separated by class.
I turned to the tree as if to get an answer to this ongoing question. Nothing came though. I hadn't expected it to come.
'Are you alright?' Rhünilde asked, as we sat down at the lakeside. I nodded, sitting down beside her.
'I think I am,' I replied. 'Just so much has happened.'
'I can second that one! It seems unreal though - as if nothing had actually happened.
