At brink of the hot spring where the queen sat between fragrant sea and water strand, looking unto hot spring with the view of rising steam, azure surface and rose petals. Rising steam rising like smoke over surface, fading like fog in sunshine. Azure surface peaceful as mirror reflected her figure and face. Rose petals floating on the surface with the scent of rose.

At the queen's side where Medusa stretched her snake tail into hot spring water, feeling the warmth and the sense of coziness. She felt the warmth, feeling hot spring water warming her snake tail. She felt the sense of coziness, feeling the warmth flowing from snake tail to her head.

Morgana sat at brink of the hot spring, looking unto falling petal rain from fragrant sea. She stretched out her pale and slender hand, catching a rose petal with hues of blood and scent of rose. A butterfly landed at her fingertip, sniffing the scent of rose. The butterfly sniffed the queen's fragrance, resting at the queen's fingertip.

She caught up seven rose petals in her left hand palm, writing down numbers with her right hand fingernail. Her movement haunted the butterfly's sweet dream, waking the butterfly up. The butterfly fluttered away, flying through rose petals unto fragrant sea.
