Ember continued to stroll on the walkway within the garden which was covered with beautiful pebbles. She soon reached the side garden where she had a view of the burned trees at a distance.
"Will they cut those trees?" Ember asked, guilt colouring her voice.
"No, Miss. Those trees might have been burned, but the damage wasn't much—only up till the branches. I heard from Dame Yula that tomorrow the gardeners will cut those branches and then Elder Leeora will come to treat those trees."
Hearing Leeora's name, Ember's eyes lit up as she could not wait to meet her.
Ember then looked at the sky where the moon was shining brightly. It looked like a silver plate against the darkness, almost but not quite a full moon yet. Despite being incomplete, it gave off a sense of elegant beauty in the sky, wrapped in a dark curtain with nothing but those scattered stars to accompany it.
