Aileene moved her hand to her forehead, wiping away her beads of sweat. It was a rather sunny autumn day, but she decided to be productive nonetheless. Since she couldn't be bothered to lazily lay around the house doing nothing. It would only encourage a bad habit and she wasn't about to let that happen.

Grabbing the small hand shovel next to her, she shoveled dirt to cover the seed hole she made. Before patting the spot down seamlessly. This motion was repeated for a few more times, as she went down the garden row. When she had run out of seed for that herb, she moved onto a new herb and a new section. When all was said and done, Aileene stood up from her position and backed away from the garden. She admired her hard handy work, it was definitely impressive that she was able to start building a mini-herb garden all on her own and it was her first time too.

All she had to aid her was a guidebook and some pointers from her gardener. Otherwise, she was completely independent. Smiling, Aileene started patting her dress down, trying to wipe all the dirt and stains out. She couldn't wait to see all the seeds grow and developed since she would finally be able to start her tea brewing. Afterall, being a tea drinker was too little of a title for her, she needed tea brewer too. Gardening and tea brewing were also pretty calming pass times for her to enjoy.

And to add to her already long list of pros, her parents benefitted from her hobby alike, since they were also avid tea drinker. She was even sure they would be willing guinea pigs for her tea brewing experiments. Sighing in contentment, Aileene gives her lovely garden one last glance, before turning to walk back inside. As the sky above her darken to a crimson blood shade, showing signs of the sun losing itself below the horizon afar.

Aileene kept her paced slow, as she retraces the familiar halls towards her bedroom. She tried focusing her eyes on every detail she could see, ingraining the image in her mind. She only had so many years left. And years do pass by quickly, even if you, yourself don't notice it.

Truly just like her words foretold, days and nights pass by her. Aileene only following along her ever perfected routine. Lessons, gardening, cultivating. She found herself occupied by the most mundane of things, some days she would be with Ruby and Xi, chatting and gossip. Some nights she would find herself awake, reading a novel by candlelight just because of her curiosity.

And so the days that pass her were peaceful, dramas or adventures less likely to be told about. As she simply drifted through the seasons unremarkably, alike to a fallen leaf blowing along with the wind. Not a single path in mind. And she enjoyed life like this, but the aimlessness of her life didn't last forever. Since her birthday had soon approach and this time her gift was a little vacation to the neighboring country Kinlar.




Author's Note: Sorrry guys, it's a bit of a shorter chapter. I was a little rushed today, but don't worry the rest of the 9 promised chapters will be longer. •^•

9.) Between the trope of reincarnation, transmigration, or time travel, what do you enjoy most?

Answer:

The simple answer of it is, I like them all. Well, not equally, but they all have their uses and if written correctly they'll be great in any story. Though if any of them would be applied to me, my list would be.

1. Reincarnation
