Ava gave me a tour of the temple. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkrBdnOwfq
The place was huge! Almost like a size of a little town. She leads me to a place with lots of plants and flowers. Made me feel like I am in a botanic garden. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxlYK5OS5
Ava looks at me and points to the garden "This is the garden where we plant and use them to make medicine, potions, oils and many other things. We call this place Serenity Garden".

I walk up to a flower and smell it. It has a sweet and subtle smell.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxbs2gVpS
Ava proceeded to walk and call after me to follow. My legs rush towards her.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqC8v6O2H0
When I catch up to her, I asks "Where are we going now?". 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNOx6OANF8
She points at the direction of the building "to the west bath house.. The west bath house is for the women". Then Ava points in the opposite direction, "The east bath house is the men, since you are staying here, you are required to follow the rules here. We are required to bath everyday and be clean. You can bath either in the morning or in the afternoon. It is you're choice. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ylYeE1zrJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRb4sxD9FY
I smile, nice I like being clean. When we reach to the bath house, it look like something a spa would have. This place kind of looks like a Roman bath house. I sure don't mind bathing here, it's looks really nice and relaxing. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAMrtYddxK
But then something pops in my head. Where do I go to pee? My eyes look at Ava. "Ava?".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2KsmExyMX
I got her attention and she turns towards me "Yes?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOEcAWMTe
"Where do you guys go to pee and you know the other thing?".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSeg96cgoO
Ava innocently say "Do you mean poop?" 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF7gBoIGYt
I could not help snicker but I nod. She looks so cute and funny when she says poop. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo2eNrQMGU
Ava smiles and continues to say "We have lavatories spread throughout the area. Just ask someone and they will show the lavatory near by". 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEt44G9nq
Ava then pulls my hand "Ok lets go to the place where you will sleep".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNJdK9rOaj
She then guides me to a big room with big windows across it. There are many futon type mattresses aligned in rows. She stops to one mattress and points to it "This one is mine but we don't really have an assigned bed but this is the one I usually use. I like the spot, if you want you can sleep next to me". 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EThL9hSuE
I nod with a smile "I would like that, thank you. "

They have a bath house which is very different for me but I can get use to it at least it's separated. Boys over there girls here. Also very grateful that they have plumbing and I don't have to use a hole in the ground. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQkgnjCEhd
Ava and I pretty much just sit here and talk. We got to know each other more. She is a really nice and sweet girl but I realize now talking to her that she is a serious girl.

"So Ava, what is the reason that you are here?". Ava looks at me confuse but answers "To serve and understands the ways of Solaris and Aura of course". I smile politely and shook my head. "No, I mean why?". I press on.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW5g7Wj71y
Ava purse her lips and say "Do you mean why I want to serve and understand?". I nod and she continues to talk. "Well... There are many Gods and Goddesses and to me the one I respect and highly honor are Solaris and Aura. When the Great War came they help a great deal and made peace. So I want to learn and be a person that they would be proud of and be a reputable priestess. If I can be, I really want to be a high priestess. This temple is one of the most respectable temple for Solaris and Aura so it's not easy to be accepted and be a child of Solaris and Aura. I work really hard... And I made it here". She said with a smile. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtfOwuff6W
Whoa! I look at her with admiration. I spent years trying to find out what with my life but I had no idea and I felt like I was wasting my time leading to nothing. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmWPzdL0Gm
But ere Ava has figured it out already at such a young age. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiywzcSGBz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3AFgRCNRC
My body leans in forward towards Ava. Then I pat Ava's shoulder "Wow that's Awesome! I hope the best for you and that your goals will come true. I will be rooting for you!." I exclaim with my thumbs up.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B7WtVtNA6
Ava laughs at my enthusiastic reply and smiles. "Thank you Dawn. You seem like a really nice girl".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB47yqgmAC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpVVVElMpN
All of a sudden a big bell rang. Ding! Dong! It kind of freaked out since it came unto me as a surprise. My body jerked and I gasps "What was that?".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRNje1LSTG
Ava tries to calm me down by holding my shoulders. "It is just the bell". 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3PmmwzdAl
Soon I regain my posture and saw Ava standing up. "Where are you going?".433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt81k8HnMqz
She then pulls me up and reply "It is dinner time." 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAD5aI9mYg
Quickly I follow her to wherever she is going. I am glad, my tummy was getting pretty hungry. As I walk I pat my stomach. It growls to me. Soon tummy you will be fed.
