Thaniya removed the blanket from her face, raised her hands up, and stretching her body under the blanket. She removed the blanket completely from her body and got down from the bed. She draw the curtain to the left hand side and looking round the room.
"Hmm! It's another morning here. Wow!" She said.
"That is to tell you to start carrying out your task. Good morning my daughter" Thaniya heard her mother's voice. She didn't say anything, just used her hands to straight her hair well and leaving the room. She opened the right door and got down to the compound at the front of the house. She was standing there and looking at four male servant working in the palace, packing the leaves that fell from the trees including the flowers.
"Huu! This will be very difficult, the task will be very difficult to carryout" Thaniya said as she was looking at the male servants and talking to her mother.
"It's all of them that are wearing something on, how do I want to know the person with the sign. King should think about it now, even among all this people will I be monitoring them here and there and waiting for them to off clothes so that I can see the sign" Thaniya complained.
"Stop talking rudely Thaniya, why are you so stupid?" Thaniya's mother abused her.
"I am sorry Mom! But the task is somehow difficult" Still standing on the same post.
"There is nothing difficult there just that the King gives you so that before you could find him you will have been able to develop your powers and know who you are so that you will be able to protect him" Thaniya just shook her head and didn't say anything.
"I will be telling you and teaching you how to use your power from now on, also I will get you a magic book that will lead you on and also get some magic words from"
"A magic book? From this library or from Heaven and Earth?" She asked with her mouth closed. Her legs haven't heeled yet, bandage were still wrapped on the wounds of the both legs and the doctor had gave her the time she could go to the hospital to remove it and if it had heal before that time she would still come for him to loss it.
"It's from Heaven and Earth, it can never been seen here. The book is invisible in natural from normal human being. Anybody that is able to see it that mean the person is Mantania or Mantan; apart from these people anybody that see it is all those black magic, so be careful with that person and know how to send him or her to his ancestors. Also you have to be very careful with the book because all those black magicians always use to look for it and wanted to have it"
"I get you right Mother and I will sure protect it and guard it" She was still trying to learn the internal talk. She had not known how to use it very well even as she is now, if someone talk to her she wouldn't hear anything because she had gone far.
"When you start reading the book, you will learn how to use your power without I telling you and the task you see like it hard will be easy for you. But also mind you, by calling your name loudly you can ask for anything you want or to see. So if you are wise you can use this to search------"Thaniya was unable to hear the statement that her mother was saying completely as she came back to her body.
"This is where you are Thaniya? You should have dress and join others to get fire wood and know that you have carried out your duty" It was the head of the maids and Choon-Hee that Thaniya saw and made her unable to hear what her mother wanted to say finished.
"Is this why you are here? So sorry" she first talked with anger and quickly apologies.
"It's not good the way you are here, if the Queen seems you it's a problem because she is very harsh and don't use to take nonsense. Others too are just going to the forest, you can go and join them now" The head of the maid said.
"I will going with them as well so let us go" Choon-Hee said. It was everywhere Thaniya was going to that Queen had told Choon-Hee to be following her to.
"Just be fast and get the fire wood on time because we have to prepare tea for everybody and its firewood we will use. So tell others to be fast as well" The lady said and leaving the place going to right direction. Thaniya looks at Choon-Hee, got down from the staircase and two of them leaving the guest's house.
The maids had been on their ways to the forest were they could got fire wood and all of them were six in number and all females. It was Thaniya and Choon-Hee that were at the front when others were at the back talking very loudly and laughing. Thaniya didn't say anything to what the maids were saying just keeps walking, with her face not smiling and looking serious.
Choon-Hee didn't have a smiling face and it was what she wanted to say that she could say. Nobody in the palace even among other maids knows that Choon-Hee was not just a maid just using that to cover up so that anything they wanted to do could be easy. Choon-Hee knows the five strong women and she was like the Queen's personal assistance there.
They got to the forest at the back of the palace, all of them separated from each other and started searching for dry firewood round the forest. Picking them on the floor and putting them on their upper armies, it was only Thaniya that was picking the firewood and packing them together on the floor.
"If it's three times that I will come that is when I will because can't kill myself" One of the maid said and talking to the other two maids beside her.
"That it's, een I will be able to talk very well" Three of them were just gossiping and slow with the woods that they were packing.
"What is she doing? That Thaniya" the fourth maid gossiped to other as she walked closer to them. All of them stopped what they were doing and paid attentions to Thaniya.
"When they ordered someone from the jungle to join why won't she be misbehaving" another maid among them said as they were watching Thaniya as she was knotting a long cloth rope on the woods that she packed on the floor. She was hearing everything that they were saying from the far distance that she was, just ignored them.
"Is she going to put it on her head?"
"Learn how to mind your own business" Choon-Hee said as she picked a wood on the floor, looked at all of them with bad looks and leaving the place.
Thaniya put the firewood at her back and tied the rope on top of her breast as she always uses to do in the jungle. She put her hands down equally to her legs and started running like a cheater, going back to the palace and left others there.
"This girl was really from the jungle!" Choon-Hee said to herself and within few minutes they did see her shadow again. Other maids were so surprised as well just keeps standing, Choon-Hee held the firewood in her arm well and she too leaving the forest.
