Tara walked happily along the path through the woods. She had always loved being outside in nature, and now she enjoyed it even more. Ever since receiving her invitation letter to attend Zenda things had changed for Tara. Her mind now sensed the world around her, the animals, the plants, the birds, all living things. She sensed their feelings and thoughts. It made her feel connected to the world, connected to nature. She wondered if these new abilities were tied to Zenda, would they stop when Zenda was over? She hoped not, she hoped it meant something truly special was happening.
Sabrina sat up, her mind fussy from experiencing another vision. She was confused, 'what was happening to her'. The visions started when the invitation letter to Zenda arrived. It was a bizarre feeling, without notice, she went into a trance. It wasn't just her mind seeing visions. It was like she was there, her senses all working, hearing, seeing, even smells and taste. At first, the visions were of her family, things that were about to happen. Her sister getting hurt in a bike accident, and her aunt's surprise visit. Today's vision was different, it was a person she didn't know, the prophet Wentu disappearing. And during the vision she heard a voice in the background calling her name. Someone named Yula. Sabring didn't know what it all meant. She felt as if her life was spinning out of control. It felt tied to Zenda, she hoped things would return to normal when Zenda was over.
