4 year difference
Four years have elapsed since our training and preparation commenced for the journey to the city of Luke Burg. Finally, the day before our extensive trip had arrived. Over these past four years, I have acquired a significant amount of knowledge, including an understanding of the local currency. The lowest denomination is known as a semi-coin, with ten semi-coins equivalent to one multi-coin. Furthermore, fifty semi-coins correspond to a silver coin, and a gold coin, which holds the highest value, is equivalent to one hundred semi-coins.
After engaging in meditation and physical exercise, John and Sonia made the decision to take us out for a farewell dinner, as we would be absent for a duration of four to five years. We found ourselves at a restaurant called Fate Station. This occasion marked my first experience of being taken out to dine, prompting me to don attire consisting of a black suit accompanied by a blue necktie. Amelia, on the other hand, graced the occasion with a long white dress adorned with green flowers that nearly brushed the floor. John presented himself in a completely black suit adorned with a white bow tie, while Sonia opted for a black dress akin to Amelia's, albeit without the floral embellishments. Upon arrival Sonia then went to the desk as she had already made reservations for four. We then followed the waitress to our table and we were given our menu where we would order.
What are you getting Amelia asked with curiosity? I will be getting rice peas and chicken with dawn flower as it is something that I have never tried before, and what about you?
Am getting sweet potatoes with chicken and dumplings. As all orders were placed and our food was ready John took out seven pieces of paper before saying these are what you will use to communicate with us, you should be able to buy some when you arrive at the Luke burg city or the dorm will give you them for free.on this paper all you need to do is use a pen and write whatever you need to say and write on the back who you want it to go to then I will disappear and appear to that person. it's a popular way of communication invented in the second world which helps when far away. After their meal, they engaged in conversation, aware that it would be a while before they could have such an opportunity again. As they prepared to leave, the bills were settled, amounting to one multi-coin and a semi coin, according to John. This prompted them to head home.
Upon their arrival, I hastened to the room, determined to retrieve the diary page. Carrying it with me, I caught up with John, who was making his way to his bedroom, and informed him that I had something important to discuss. I proceeded to show him the page, explaining how I came across it.
John acknowledged my find, reaching into one of his drawers and extracting a pocketbook containing two identical pages. He handed them to me, allowing me to examine them further. It became evident that these were additional pages from the diary, indicating that John possessed not just one, but two.
He shared how the discovery of these pages reinforced his realization that many unresolved mysteries still remained. Thus, he urged me to keep them and embark on the quest to uncover the historical secrets they held. I proceeded to present the contents of my page to him, and as he glanced at the name 'Professor Burns', a sense of curiosity emerged within him. He speculated that this might be the introductory section of a diary.
Further analyzing the page's , Reo confirmed that it was indeed a fragment of a map. Regrettably, he expressed that he had never been successful in locating the remaining pieces. The depiction on the fragment resembled a mist-veiled forest. Subsequently, he advised me to prepare for rest, considering the arduous journey that awaited me the following day. We exchanged goodnight wishes, and I made my way to the room where Amelia had already succumbed to slumber.
In that moment, I took the opportunity to open the windows one last time, lay down, and peacefully surrender to sleep.
