Three months have passed since they left. During this time, she communicated more frequently with the royals and other lords regarding the temple and school. All arrangements were made to ensure that the school would serve the people and not become a tool for the powerful and the royalty. She sent messages to Arit and Saketh about her meeting with Nirav and her plan to stay in Heaven. As expected, this news was not well received. They traveled overnight to meet her and expressed the same concerns that Nir had raised. It took considerable effort to convince them of her decision.
The last person she needed to inform was Nila, as she was adopting the name of a flower fairy while roaming around Heaven. She assigned this task to Arit and Saketh, predicting that her master would have a thunderstorm of a reaction, so she made them her scapegoats. Since this was a small mission, no one else, especially her father, Udyath, was informed.
As all matters were settled, she was ready for her next journey from Amidah. As she walked through the street, a large crowd of people and children surrounded her. They cheered and thanked her for her services. The first twenty children rushed to the front and hugged her tightly. Overwhelmed by emotions, hot tears streamed down her face. She embraced them back and bid them farewell. For generations, the image of a sleek lady with a red tiger has been revered as a symbol of kindness in Amidah.
She walked toward the edge of the city and blew the jade. A golden light surrounded the area, and he appeared, followed by Adhyant. Three months may feel like mere hours in heaven, but he looked as if he had been waiting for my call. Nirav stepped forward and took Nir, while Adhyant approached her.
"Akira, if the Lord takes you to heaven, many will become curious about you, which could attract unwanted attention and be dangerous. So, I will take you to heaven instead. Once we arrive, I will introduce you as the pet keeper of Nir, who will be presented as the Lord's pet. This way, all the attention will go to him."
She nodded, and Nirav stepped closer, patting her head. "Don't worry. In heaven, I've got your back."
