10 p.m.
Lorraine teleports to Terasy Volly Lake. It's still pretty as ever. The sounds of the waterfalls. The scenery was full of fireflies. Lorraine turned to William. William likes a statue with mouth open.
"Where are we? So pretty!"
"You… don't know this place?"
William shakes his head twice. Lorraine sighed.
"Terasy Volly Lake was formed by the meteor 8100 years ago. After 10 years, the famous magician murdered and got thrown inside this lake. His mana floats all around this lake."
William nodded.
"Go."
"To?"
"Go cultivate yourself, stupid!"
"I want you to cultivate with me."
"Okay."

[Flashback memories William]
"William, look!"
"Wow, what's that?"
A file of two weird tattoos. There is a butterfly and a cat tattoo.
"This tattoo is pretty! I wanna take this butterfly!"
"Is it okay if we want to take it, Charles?"
"We are the one who found it, so.. this is ours!"
I take the cat tattoo and place it to my shoulder. It sticks to my body. After that, Charles goes to his school. Slowly, I walked to my dorm. As I walked towards my dorm, I saw a girl. I always saw her go to the back of the dorm. So, one day, I followed her secretly from a far distance so she couldn't feel my distance.
"Wow!"
Only that came out from my mouth. She can use magic! I could hear the rhythms and the scent of roses make me feel happy and a bit sleepy. I can see that she floated in the air. After that day, I always go there at night. Until one day, I thought of learning magic too! So I brave myself. I inch closer to her and say,
"Mm... Hello"
Oh, she turned!? I can feel that she faded her magic. She placed her hand to her waist. She looked at me as if
want to eat me alive. She steps one step towards me. Damn! I should run!
ZUMM----
"Ack!"
I forgot about her magic! She teleports herself in front of me! She grabs my face harshly so I can see her soft blue eyes shine.
"Oh? What's this?"
"??!"
"You are more interesting than I thought."
I know this is rude but I push her as hard as I can. Her expression changed. Her eyes go back normal and no shining.
"Then, can you do me a favour?"
"What favour?"
"Teach me magic!!"
"No."
"Why?"
"If I teach you magic, that means you will be my disciple."
"So you hate me?"
"No! I just hate having a disciple."
"Sob-Sob. You...Hate me!!!"
"Hey! I don't know---why are you crying?"
"Because...you hate me---Uwaaaa!!!"
"Why are you still crying!?"
She wipes my tears away using her thumb. I stop for a second to catch up some breath. After I ready to talk, I say
"I want to learn magic from you and be your disciple!"
She silent for a moment. She put her index finger at her forehead. Brr… Suddenly I feel so cold. I look down to look at my feet. Ah! I didn't wear proper shoes! I hope I didn't sneeze in front of her! Why must this night be so cold!!
"Hah??!"
Huh, Why am I floating? She steps closer to me. Is she gonna kill me because of what I say?!! She's such a bad girl!!
"Alright~ But, you must not cry next time and don't ask me what I don't like."
Huh? She used her magic to wear me socks and comfy shoes. So... It's true that she didn't even hate me! Oh my, I'm so happy!! I wanna hug her!
"Hey, don't hug me like that!"
[Flashback memories William ended]
"Huff, huff."
William sits up quickly. 'Huh? Those are my memories before I was a Lorainne disciple.'
"Ackk!!!!!!!!"
"Relaxed, relaxed. Not all can wake up 587 counts."
Lorainne uses her magic to make William lay down on the lake surface. William turned his head until seeing Lorainne's pretty face.
~♪ -♫- -♩-♪- ♪ -♬-♬- ♪- ♫- ♩-♪ -♪- ♬-♬~~
'Huh? This is the rhythm were Lorainne always play when I can't sleep in the past 10 years!'
William closed his eyes, internalising the rhythms. Lorainne looks at William. She smiled and say,
"What are you thinking, William?"
"Huh?"
William turned to Lorainne. They stare at each other for about a minute. Lorraine reach her hand to pat William's head and say,
"Sleeping after cultivating is good, you know?"
"Yeah."
"Then, go sleep… You sleepy, right"
"Mm.."
