A sense of unease fluttered in my chest.


    “Mom…”


    I wanted to ask her what was happening, but sleep overtook me before I could get the words out.


    When I next opened my eyes, I was surrounded by an endless expanse of white.


    Standing before me was an incredibly beautiful woman dr@ped in a white veil.


    Her long hair cascaded down to her ankles, and her presence was both elegant and awe-inspiring, as if she were a wless sculpture crafted by divine hands.


    She looked at me with a warm, gentle smile.


    I was awestruck, my heart pounding with surprise.


    She bore an uncanny resemnce to the Legendary Moon Goddess.


    But my mind quickly returned to my mother.


    I missed her deeply and needed to know where she was and what had happened to her after I fell asleep.


    My concern for her left little room for anything else.


    When I couldn’t find my mother, I asked with concern, “Miss, may I know who you are? Where am I?”


    I had a strong feeling that this ce was out of the ordinary.


    Given what I knew and the history I was aware of, I couldn’t make sense of this location.

    And the woman standing before me was equally puzzling.


    She radiated a kindness that reminded me of my mother, yet there was a clear distance between us, as if an invisible barrier separated us, one that I felt I could never breach.


    The woman gave a soft smile.


    “I am Moon Goddess.


    As for your location, it’s not important.


    What’s important is that you’ve seeded in the me control test and be the new supreme witch.


    ”


    The supreme witch?


    I wasn’t happy though.


    My thoughts were filled with thest embrace from my mother before I fell asleep and herforting words.


    Nervously biting my lip, I asked, “What about my mother? Can you tell me where she is? Why did shee to save me in time?”


    A dreadful suspicion crept into my mind.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    But I was in de


    nial and couldn’t ept it.


    When she heard my question, Moon Goddess’s eyes, usually so serene, filled with regret.


    She sighed lightly and said, “After Gale, the previous supreme witch, killed your mother, only a fragment of her soul remained.


    I was touched by her love for you, so I helped her soul and gave her the power to aid you in critical times.


    ”


    I was shocked.


    “Then she is…”


    Moon Goddess gave me a sympathetic look and continued, “She’s gone.


    To help you master the control of the mes, she used her remaining strength to protect you.


    The cost is that you will never see her again.


    ”


    The words of Moon Goddess crushed me, and I slumped to the ground.


    Remembering my mother’s gentle embrace amidst the mes, I was overwhelmed and started to cry.


    It was her final act of protection and herst goodbye.


    I would never see my mother again.
