Ava gave me a tour of the temple. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3tw8wpuB9
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLiNHXHK8
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCVM9XplnQ
Ava proceeded to walk and call after me to follow. My legs rush towards her.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860CvwCVTp
When I catch up to her, I asks "Where are we going now?". 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJJdwSWcB
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRG8srxhY3
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMGyAiWjH
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMuzfrCLsn
But then something pops in my head. Where do I go to pee? My eyes look at Ava. "Ava?".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzPkEFXkP
I got her attention and she turns towards me "Yes?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVPyhOag0H
"Where do you guys go to pee and you know the other thing?".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW48BKTs76
Ava innocently say "Do you mean poop?" 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyAnPGWxad
I could not help snicker but I nod. She looks so cute and funny when she says poop. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAWVaF1glN
Ava smiles and continues to say "We have lavatories spread throughout the area. Just ask someone and they will show the lavatory near by". 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C45tCT4Be
Ava then pulls my hand "Ok lets go to the place where you will sleep".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCyTI0dl1m
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". 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8V5sBzSYP
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzQyt6mmdL
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.
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxbPLGO5x3
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsA43OCYau
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi9Ez8vR4O
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. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LnFp7wv61
But ere Ava has figured it out already at such a young age. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8HzQc7hKi
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBtBBaeL4d
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwSblj14a7
Ava laughs at my enthusiastic reply and smiles. "Thank you Dawn. You seem like a really nice girl".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJy0th3MYY
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLUURKmJXt
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?".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA3b2pNPmq
Ava tries to calm me down by holding my shoulders. "It is just the bell". 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWnBnYD2U
Soon I regain my posture and saw Ava standing up. "Where are you going?".514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzyJR0x663
She then pulls me up and reply "It is dinner time." 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAreRLRNKri
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.
