The Supreme God

As Austin passed through the stone wall, he was greeted with a quiet and serene valley. Nature's fine curves and shadows touched him like they were a song woven together. In a patch of the meadow, flowers of different varieties flourished. These were open fields, with a shade for comfort and a brook of fresh water. Every sound and sigh were welcoming to him. Such beauty was unparalleled.

A plain log cabin sat amidst the valley. In its front yard, a glint of goldfish enjoyed their sunny swims in the one-acre pond.

What an entrancing land!

Austin inhaled and a waft of fresh air invaded his nostrils.

It was a pleasure to find the scenic valley behind the stone wall.

"What is this place? It took me more than half a spiritual sense to get here," Austin wondered out loud.

A few seconds later, Violet came through the stone wall after him, gasping for air. Apparently, it took her all of her strength to fight the force of spiritual sense that the stone wall projected.

What shocked both Austin and Violet was seeing the gnome pass breezily through the stone wall, as if the force of spiritual sense was nothing to him. The second the gnome came in, he looked around with curiosity and excitement flashing through his eyes.

With his sight fixing on the log cabin, Austin noticed something that astonished him.

In its front yard, the patch of green plants was all elixirs.

And all of them seemed to belong to the sixth or seventh grade. What a stroke of luck to find these many medicinal herbs here!

It was evident that the most precious treasures of Medicine Valley were all here in one place, which was as Austin had expected.

"Wow! So many elixirs!"

Violet exclaimed when her wide eyes landed on the patch of medicinal herbs. She was awestruck to see them all in such a great number.
