''...''
Nostalgia.
As Kierra stared into the distance scene, she suddenly remembered. There was a time when she would be atop a mountain, watching the sunset like this. If there were a discrepancy, it would be that before, she had someone to watch with her, and a twilight with four differently colored suns was undoubtedly something else.
Nevertheless, she found this frame of time to be fascinating, almost magical.
Not only did the scenery please her, but it also provoked a multitude of thoughts, more than she would typically have. Even back in her old world, she would find herself staring out of the window whenever it was this time.
For one, it helped her with creating incarnations quite a lot. Often, the archwizard found herself inventing new magic, and it was those times that she would come up with chants, even if she didn't necessarily need to use them.
It was fun, simple as that.
She wasn't a wordsmith, yet when she cast a spell, it always sounded otherworldly in the ears of others. Kierra called this the 'big magic equals cool' theory. However, she would still be made fun of for her cringe lines sometimes by a few.
'...Well.'
Maybe this much reminiscing was enough.
As Kierra stood up, she looked at the soft orange sky once again. The road forward, she could feel, would be filled with exciting adventures. She was sure she would make beautiful memories in this world.
At those times... perhaps she would want to record them and share them with the people of her old world later. Rub it in their faces.
''...Hah.''
With those silly thoughts floating in her head, Kierra turned around and left the mountain.
Once back at White Lotus, she and her disciples continued to train, spending time like usual. In this period, Kierra also saw the qi slowly adapting to her body. Maybe it would soon be time for her to cultivate again.
A few days quickly passed, and when Kierra was on a light stroll with her pets in tow, a disciple of White Lotus came to her.
''Someone is searching for you at the front gate, Master Kierra.''
''I see.''
For some reason, Kierra's official title across White Lotus had become 'Master,' not that she was complaining.
Nevertheless, Kierra came to the front gate shortly after. There, a woman in white greeted her.
''Kierra.''
Abbess Mie Xieren waved with a soft smile.
''Mie Xieren.''
Kierra nodded in response.
''I apologize if I took too long. I had to take care of the work relating to the unorthodox sects.''
''Not a problem. Come in.''
As she and the abbess made their way to Crimson Tower, Kierra couldn't help but notice something about this woman. The way she dressed had become milder, and her demeanor was also friendlier.
Maybe this was her preference in the first place.
''You don't want the author to spell everything out beforehand,'' Kierra replied.
''...I was about to say I like it.''
To this, the archwizard just shrugged.
Then, noticing the sky turning dark, the two left the library. While taking a stroll around the sect, Kierra opened her mouth.
''How was today so far?'' She asked.
''Mhm...'' Mie Xieren pondered. ''It was enjoyable, but nothing I would consider passion had come up just yet.''
''I see. If so, tell me what you are usually attracted to.''
Kierra finally thought that this might be too much to go through blindly.
''Attracted to... maybe... that?''
Silence fell as Mie Xieren suddenly pointed at Kierra's face. Realizing her mistake after a whole five seconds, she hurriedly corrected herself.
''W-What I mean is makeup...!'' She said awkwardly. ''I never had a chance to do it properly, so...''
''...I see. Let us try it, then.''
Ignoring the awkwardness as she had always done, Kierra led Mie Xieren onto the mountain she frequented. Here, at the top, they could see a lit White Lotus city in its entirety under the sea of stars above.
The stars were so bright that they didn't need additional lighting for doing makeup, not that Kierra needed it in the first place.
Nevertheless, Kierra pulled out her makeup tools and began to do the abbess's face lightly. Considering her demeanor today, Kierra thought it would only be right if she did this.
Meanwhile, the one being worked on was rather nervous. Not only was this the first time she would do makeup, but seeing Kierra in her full glory this close made her restless.
Although the archwizard might seem distant and blunt at first, she knew Kierra was a good person, from her actions right now to the memories of her conversing with the little Mie Xieren.
And when the opponent was this stunning, who in their right mind would not feel a thing?
(,,>_<,,)
After the makeup was done, Kierra held a mirror before Mie Xieren's face. Looking at her own face, the abbess was shocked. The slight touches were able to soften her face quite a lot; she seemed like a different person!
''I like this!'' She exclaimed.
''Is that so,'' Kierra responded with a rare, soft smile.
''...''
''What's wrong?''
Mie Xieren stared blankly at Kierra. Although today's program felt like a bully was walking her through hobbies, it was enjoyable nonetheless. She had done these at least once before, but this time was different. There was someone accompanying her.
This elated sensation in her heart... perhaps, this was happiness. Mie Xieren smiled. She smiled heartily, hugging her chest. She wanted to remember this feeling in her heart so as not to forget it in the future.
''Ah, that's right.'' Kierra straightened her back. ''We have a sleepover night with everyone tonight. Do you want to join?''
In the heat of the moment, Mie Xieren agreed right away.
''Alright.''
