Lily slowly opened her eyes and the first thing that flashed before her is the starry night. She carefully get up from laying and after it, she spread her views, just then she realized that she was laying on a deserted area.

"Where am I?" she asked to herself. She immediately stood up and look at every directions and angle, she doesn't know what happened and where she is. She feels like she is different now.

She began to walk on that endless desert to find some place to live in, she feels so tired and thirsty and she needed water right now.

While walking, she keeps looking around, and that's when she realized that she's in the only deserted place in this continent... it is the Zuhara Desert. If she remember well, there is only one empire in the center of this huge desert and if she's not wrong, it is hundred Miles away from her where she is standing.

She sat on the desert, she got depressed and despaired when she realized that there's no way she could drink anything this time. she feels thirsty and tired, she wanted to rest right now but where? Zuhara desert is so huge and there's none a single person who could help her this time.

"What happened to me? why am i here, did they decided to throw me away because the king doesn't want me?!!" She said to herself as she began to cry because of hopelessness.

While crying, she just remembered what happened before. Oh right, she was being chased by the villagers but she doesn't want to be captured, to escape from them, she jump in to a huge fire ball that came from nowhere.

"How come I am still alive?" she asked herself. She groped her body to check if her bruises, scars and her injuries are still on her body. She was pretty surprised when she didn't saw even a single bruise on her body but she was sure that she felt the feeling of death that time when she was burning. But despite the mysteries behind what had happened to her, she shunned it.

She stood up again and began to walk down this endless desert, whatever happened to her why she's still alive is not necessary for now, what she needs is water, she's dying in thirst right now.

She continued walking in this endless desert again and hoping for at least a lake, it doesn't matter if it's dirty or what, as long as she could drink it.

"If only there is a coconut tree here!!" she shouted when after several hours of walking, she did not saw any moist thing as she travels on the Desert.

She instantly stopped walking when she glimpsed a small light not so far away coming from her right side.

She quickly run towards there and when she arrived, that's when she knew it was a store in this empty place. But whatever, she's sure that there is a water here, she could ask for a little help and pay twice on it once she's back to Dorgan Kingdom.

She approached the door first before she knocked three times here. "Hi? is anyone there?" Asked by her after her Knocks. she waited for a while but no one responded. She repeated what she have done earlier when no one replied to her. "Hi? may I ask for help? I promise to pay you twice or trice"

But still, no one is responding. She gulped and she gently opened the door. When it finally opened, she spread her views on the store and she only saw a pots of sake and wine.

She silently walk toward inside and she instantly opened one of the pots, she scooped up the sake on the pot she opened and then she sucked it, she repeat it many times until she is satisfied.

"This wine is my savior" she uttered to herself after a huge sigh when she was finally felt chill inside.

Before proceeding her travels, she took a rest first inside this store but before she could even have the rest she is aiming, she suddenly heard a footsteps outside.

She run towards the door to take her exit and escape from whoever the owner of this store, she's afraid that she might be accused as a thief and she don't have any money to pay right now.

"I'm gonna go back here to pay you, I drank only half of a pot on the wine, please have patience!!!!" she shouted while running fast away.

She didn't bother to look at the person she heard, she's running faster and there's no need to take care for anything she might step on, there's only sand in this place.

The person was about to chase Lily, but before he could even begin his step tp run, he suddenly noticed that something is not right to Lily. That thing frightened him to death

When Lily finally escaped and is now far away from that store, she stopped running and her. She kneel down on the sad as she is chasing her breath. She feels like she is really tired now. It is not surprising for her because what she have gone through was really painful and even though she does not have any injuries on her body, her stamina is not that strong. At this moment while breathing heavily, Lily's body collapsed because of tiredness.

In this situation, she doesn't care anymore about the sand she's laying on, it is already night and the Desert isn't that hot unlike on the daytime. Lily slowly closed her eyes and she fell asleep completely without her awareness..

As soon as the Sun arrive, the cold desert of the night immediately turn into the land of fire. Zuhara Desert is so cold when it's evening, but it is hot as hell when it's Day time.

In an instant, Lily's body stood up unaware when her body felt the hotness of this desert on Day time.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!!" she shouted in shock while blowing her shoulders and the parts of her body that is uncovered by her torn dress. "Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot"!!! she repeatedly said until the hotness of the sands were gone on her body.

Good thing, her boots are thick, it's just that she don't have anything to cover her head and some of her dress are torn, result by the fire where she jump in before getting in this place.

The heat of the sun might be painful but she is able to shun it. She saw a lake not so far away from her so she did not care about the heat of the sun. despite the heat of the sun, she continued taking the deserted road through that lake.

When she finally reached the lake, using her two hands, she scooped a water from the lake and drank it. The taste is cold despite the hot ground where this lake is. According to the legend, this desert has amazing thing that any place could never have, it is the two side. When the night arrives, the entire Desert is cold as ice, but the only this lake on it is hot as lava. But when the sun arrives, the desert is hot as hell and this lake is cold as ice. This is called as Ryomen lake.

She scooped another water on it and drank it again.

After drinking, she removed her dress and boots, and only her underwears are left to cover her private parts. Her flawless skin almost got burn because of the desert's temperature. She instantly jumped down on the lake to take a bath. The desert is indeed so hot today and she definitely need something to cool herself down.

While taking a rest on the lake, she stared at her reflection on the water. At first she thought it was just because of the reflection of the sun but how ever the way she looked at her own reflection on the lake, something is still not correct in her face. She was shocked for what she saw but she stayed calm. She took a deep breath and stared at her reflection again.

"Wait a minute..." she whispered to herself while staring at her reflection on the water.

"WHAT?!! W-W-WHAT? M-MY ... M-MY EYES ARE RED!!!" she shouted. She quickly got up from the lake and wore her dress and boots again out of her shock for what she have witnessed about her face. Using the skirt of her dress, she wiped her wet face and calmed herself, she took a deep breath many times as she closed and opened her eyes gently. She carefully walked toward the lake again, she closed her eyes deeply and she slowly opened it... The red eyed woman appeared on the reflection again.

She recoiled due to fright, and she began to scream. "AAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Her loud voice echoed. After it, she gently touches her left eye while her right arm is supporting her from not falling on the dessert completely.

"What's happening to me? why is my eyes are red? no no, this is just the effect of the lake. " she nervously uttered to herself. She stood up and left the lake immediately.

She couldn't believe in what she saw, why are her eyes red? How come she don't have any bruises on her body after what happened to her? She felt it, she's sure she felt the feeling of dying but why is she still alive? she died not so far from Vesusta but why is she still alive? If her uncle managed to save her then why is she on Zuhara Desert? could it be... SHE'S IN LIFE AFTER DEATH WORLD?!!!

"Probably not, I'm in Zuhara Desert and this desert is a part of this continent" she said to herself.

"BUT WHAT THE HELL REALLY HAPPENED TO ME? DID UNCLE SAVED ME OR WHAT?" She confusedly asked again.

She sighed due to frustration.

Not so far away from her, a wild monster who has been staring at her all the time prepared to attack to devour Lily, it was about to attack her but before the monster could even reache the spot near her, Lily's body moved in its own and a fire from her palm appeared as if her own body protected her, she is not even controlling her body yet it moved in its own.

In a blink of eye, she created a huge distraction on the Desert that causes the sudden death of the monster who attempted to attack her awhile ago.

"W-WHAT IN THE WORLD... J-JUST HAPPENED!!!" she asked as her eyes are widened. She suddenly felt dizzy and as if her body is out of strength after using such a huge magic. It didn't took a minute as she is feeling dizzy then she collapsed.
