Joy stood waiting in the dim light with Baby nearby; the canyon was hemmed in by towering walls of rock, it was as if a giant was blocking the way with his gigantic body. The path was deserted except for a cat lifting his paws off the frosty stones. Joy made her way down a narrow, gravel road cautiously to the door, which was looming a few meters in front of her. She went straight up to the door and entered into it, to her surprise it was all getting just as bright as day. She closed her eyes in a subconscious attempt to avoid damage at the bright lights. Was there somebody standing there or was it a trick of the light? Before she could open her eyes, Baby was giggling and a familiar voice came over. "Joy, and Baby." Sunshine was promptly at her side, her eyes lit up with pleasure. Joy hugged her back with the sign of affection, at a distance, Baby was playing around with Happy on the floor. "Sunshine, it’s good to see you aga

Joy and Sunshine were standing in front of a gigantic wash painting with the sound"Welcome to the Free Market." "Sunshine, why…" Joy had barely begun speaking when Baby break in abruptly. "Where have you been? I am starting to worry. You guys kept us waiting for a long time." Joy felt that Baby’s effusive welcome was not sincere, and suddenly her attention was drawn by a black cat squatting next to him. On the other side, Happy ran towards Sunshine with hearty welcome by circling around her foot jumping and dancing. "Baby, why don’t you introduce your friend to us?" "This is Mr. Black, the King of cats." "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty." Joy smiled and bowed obsequiously to Mr. Black. Hearing the words, Sunshine whirled around and surveyed what miracle had happened to Joy. "Where is Wu Xi? she was supposed to be here with you." Mr. Black had an air of quiet authority and deep, commanding voice, Joy was shocked i

Suddenly the sky was changing because the sun was beginning to fall behind hills, sending deep gold-colored rays slanting under the trees. The elderly were gravitating in the market, shuffling in cheerful pairs along the streets or jogging in slow motion past the shops, all quickened their pace in panic. Joy was attracted by a bunch of herbs; she was chatting with a vendor who was trading herbs. "For every disease, there are some herbs to cure it. This cinnamon-like medicinal herb is hard to come by, it can wrench people back from the fog of unconsciousness." The keeper said. "It’s getting dark, the market will be closed soon, we need to go out now." Hayden strode towards her. Hearing that, Joy rose to say goodbye while the keeper secretly put the herb into her packsack without anyone else noticing. Sunshine bustled through the street to meet Joy. "What if we could not go out on time? What will happen?" "It is not up to you because it is mandatory, or you are about to bounce off

To her surprise the door was unlocked, it was a communal dorm with many beds, closets, tables and bookshelves. Her bed was lying among dozens of other beds that it looked exactly the same as the one at home, Joy walked straight towards it. There was a note flying to her before Joy could complain about the overcrowding, words in bold-red-larger font letters stick out among other normal black fonts as Dormitory Regulations. "If you would like some personal space, please mark your blood at your territory. With the spell it will present a barrier that defend your place against any intruders. Nobody could go inside without your permission." "Sunshine, have you seen it? It will be like a compartment where you could relax in your private suites." Sunshine's bed was near hers, Joy flung off her bag and collapsed on her bed, Sunshine was standing at her bedside, the frown on her face told Joy that the situation would be especially difficult for her and that she might have words to tell. Joy

The nine-storey pagoda represented the nine tribes in the Habitat, each corresponding to a particular grade, such as the first-storey was designed to be used for grade 1 students. Until you became a grade 2 student, you could not go to the second storey, but the higher grade students could come downstairs. Wu Xi was situated on the top storey and Mr. black was the only creature who could live in the Nine-Tower."Mr. Black, that was quick, did you get the message from Baby?" Joy was surprised and squatted down unconsciously."I do not see Baby; I come for anything else. You need to tell me everything during your last meeting with Wu Xi, every little thing counts." Mr. Black was as sharp as ever."So the principal was missing, you can’t reach her, right?" Joy said, it was significantly louder this time. She was grateful that the place was empty."She is in a safe place, but she was off. So I need to know what had happened to her.""Sunshine, Mr. Black has found the principal, but he wan
