Side Story (10)

"She is truly an interesting child."

First Highest Priest Yunis, the man governing the Holy Nation, spoke as he watched the stagnant water on the ancient fountain that was stored inside the Great Ancient Library.

The fountain was covered in aquamarine stone, and the water gently flowed from a jar poured by a naked man painted in silver at the edge of the fountain. Yunis recognized the man as similar to Aquarius, the water bearer. The water never stops pouring, and the round basin of the fountain which only has a diameter of two yards, showed images of what the seeker wanted to see the most.

At that moment, Yunis was watching the events unfold in the annex where all the candidates had been brought. He saw how the poor servant got bullied and healed herself. He was feeling elated. His eyes never failed to spot a talent. He celebrated as he finally found the one he had been searching for.
