As if sensing their presence, the boys looked over together and before they knew it they were walking towards the girls and Xavier stood in front of adaline.

"Hello you,"

She looked down shyly, "Hello you." She said back.

He chuckled. "Walk?" She nodded.

They walked away from the group. Adeline took in the breathless side in front her. People walking or sitting together. They were even sitting on the ground with crossed legs as if meditating.

Some just stared off to the mountains standing together and talking while the others did not. she would understand why they did not want to talk because the scenery was just so beautiful and breathtaking.

"Absorbing everything," Xavier commented, "you do not need to do that because we will be coming here if you want."

Adeline blushed slightly, feeling caught in the act. "No, no, it is all just so beautiful that I cannot ignore anything."

"That it is." He agreed. "Cold ?"

She shook her head before looking at him with curiosity in her eyes, "About that. When I was standing at the entrance I felt really cold and now that we are in the courtyard I really feel the moderate temperature like it was back at the capital. Why?"

Xavier bit back the smile. " You can say that this place is enchanted. The water also has healing powers along with some magic in them."

"That is not much of an explanation." Adeline replied.

"Some things do not have explanations."

Okay, then, maybe they did not.

Adeline continued to look around before she huffed, "I'm hungry."

Xavier looked at his wrist watch only for him to click his tongue irritation. Gadgets were not common in this world and gadgets were not allowed inside the temple as they were the cause of distraction.

"They will be having dinner soon. Almost on sundown. Can you wait?" He looked down on the little midget.

She started to shake her hair but ended up shrugging. "Is it a buffet?"

He chuckled. "Yes, you can eat as much as you want."

And she did.

Adelen ate as much as she wanted by even taking second and third serving. Xavier without any restraint handed her even more than necessary.

"Are you sure you do not want the doughnut?" Xavier asked as he placed a doughnut on her plate. "It has vanilla custard inside."

Adeline groaned as she held her stomach. It hurt. She had eaten too much and now her stomach felt like it would literally explode. "No, now oh, I can't." She moaned. The food was exceptional and Adeline really could not control herself.

Everyone else was ready to go down again because for the wolves it was not a big deal to travel at such a distance. For Adaline and Xavier however they had to wait and they were given lodging here. The only unfortunate thing that it brought was they had separate lodgings.

"You just have to whisper my name if you need anything. There is no need to even shout." Xavier repeated the words once again. "Is that clear? All you have—"

"I know, I knoow," she stomped her foot. "I know what to do now, would you please let go. I really want to sleep, Xavier."

Xavier however did not look convinced to leave her alone.

"How about," she proposed, "the moment I wake up in the morning before doing anything else I call out to you, not even whisper so that even if you are deep in sleep you can hear me?"

He nodded reluctantly, giving in before placing a kiss on her forehead. "Please do." He pulled away and pointed to the door. "Lock it, please."

Deja vu.

She did as told but not before passing a smile to him before closing and locking it shut. Adeline turned around and just stared at the room. It was a single bed and a small room. The lodging facility was not available to many but it was just introduced for the humans which is why the rooms were small if one wanted to stay alone.

She sighed and moved to the bed but then groaned. She had to pee.

Fuck, she hissed. The pressure was really increasing and the cold did not help. She threw the covers off of her in frustration, slipped his seat into her slippers and moved out of the room. Thankfully the bathrooms were on the floor.

She relieved herself and walked out of the washroom to wash hands. She took an entire minute to watch them safely because she was about to go to bed now.

Just as she opened the door and turned around to find someone staring at a carving. A woman it was.

A woman in the middle of the night and alone in the hallway was not a good idea.

"Why did the carving on this," the woman said in a surprisingly soft voice as her hand trailed over the markings, "beautiful, are they not?"

Adeline nodded. "They are."

The woman Chuckled. "I won't hurt you. Not anymore, so you can come close."

Adelene frowned slightly at the words of the women. She had never seen her before so how had she ever hurt Adaline?

The woman's smile remained even though her eyes were pained. "A mother never wants her children to suffer but at the end of the day it is in the hands of fate and fate is biased to no one."

"Why are you telling me this?" Adeline whispered as she stared where she was watching the women carefully from afar.

The woman laughed and the laugh felt eternal. She had never heard anything so beautiful before.

"This might be the only time we meet before you come to me forever," the woman smiled and spoke, "I do not know what is written for you but I certainly hope that it is not soon."

The women started walking closer to adaline and it felt like her feet had been planted to the ground because she could not move them.

The woman touch her cheek before kissing her forehead and blowing on its slightly, "bless you, my love."
