"A tiger? are you sure ?" Pat asks with an ambiguous look.
"Yes I am sure, I saw it!" I confidently said.
"It's Riva! She's here!" Pat said excitedly.
I was shocked, it seems she knows this tiger.
As the horses galloped, Pat kept giving the horses directions. We passed many thatched roof houses.
We began ascending a hill towards an open field, there seemed to be a building made of wood.
It looked like a farmhouse, I saw that they used flame lamps for light.
As the horses neighed, someone inside the house heard. A lady came out cradling a baby, she looked on inquisetively.
Pat immediately got off the carriage, and ran towards the lady. She was yelling "mom, I am back!"
We got off and followed after her, we found her squishing the baby's cheeks.
She introduced us; "Mom this is the Williams family. That's Thomas my friend, Mr. Eric, and Mrs Rachel Williams.
Her mother in a simple white dress greeted us. "Good evening, welcome to our home, I am Florina Everheart. This baby here is Luna, she is Pat's baby sister."
As we merrily got to know one another, we each got rooms to spend the night. Pat's family house had 10 rooms in total. Pat lives with her mom, father, and Luna, her father went 10 stations away transporting the farm's goods.
Pat's mom was so nice to us, she also told us to stay until the festival has passed.
Pat was right, although the railway world does not seem keen on eating meat, the food she prepared was heavenly;
The table was set with a vibrant and colorful spread, featuring an assortment of fresh vegetables, whole grains, and savory flavors.
At the center of the table was a hearty Vegetable Stew, made with tender chunks of zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes, all slow-cooked in a rich and aromatic tomato broth.
Alongside the stew was a flavorful Quinoa Salad, tossed with roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy chopped kale, and a tangy citrus vinaigrette.
A side dish of Garlic and Herb Roasted Vegetables added a satisfying crunch to the meal, with a medley of broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts tossed in a savory blend of olive oil, garlic, and thyme.
The meal was rounded out with a warm and crusty Whole Grain Bread, served with a side of creamy Hummus for dipping.
To finish, a refreshing Fruit Tart provided a sweet and tangy conclusion to the meal, with a flaky pastry crust topped with a colorful arrangement of fresh berries, melon, and citrus.
After everyone had gone to bed, I was left with dad. We had gone outside, we spoke next to the cows.

The stars in the Railway World are a breathtaking sight!
On a clear night, the sky transforms into a dazzling canvas of twinkling lights, stretching endlessly above the rolling hills and fields.
The stars shine with a brilliance and clarity that's hard to find in urban areas, where city lights often obscure the view.
The sky is a deep shade of indigo, almost purple, and the stars sparkle like diamonds scattered across the fabric of the universe. The constellations – Orion, Cassiopeia, the Big Dipper – are easily visible, their patterns and shapes etched in the sky like ancient myths.
As you gaze up at the stars, you might notice the occasional shooting star, its brief, fiery trail blazing across the sky. The night air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming wildflowers and the distant chirping of crickets, creating a soothing melody that seems to match the rhythm of the stars.
The darkness of the Railway World allows the stars to shine with unparalleled brilliance, making you feel small yet connected to the vast expanse of the universe.
It's a truly humbling and awe-inspiring experience that leaves you feeling grateful for the beauty of this world.
Dad asks me; "what do you think of this world?"
"It's beautiful and a paradise!." I replied my dad as we both looked up, I was leaning on the wooden fence that kept the cows.
"When you sleep, I'll stop the Mind Blanket. Tommorow you have scool, we will continue our journey on Friday afternoon." Dad said as he slowly took out a cookie in his jacket! How sly! he must have slipped many in his jacket when we were eating.
I quickly reached into jacket trying to pry open his pocket. Fast! he caught my hand, how stingy.
"Thomas this world is where you grandparents live!" Dad suddenly said.
I asked- "what do you mean?" I was confused.
"You will find out very soon after we arrive." Dad simply said as he walked towards the house with the final words of the night. "Goodnight my son."
I also lingered for a bit until I went inside, as I got in bed. When I closed my eyes, it came- (Mind Blanket stopped.)
I woke up, I was on my bed. It seems we spent a good hour in the Railway World. It's 21 : 00 PM, I decide to visit Universe 2.0.

(Universe 2.0 Mind Blanket )
Queen Lani's perspective-
My son is awake, he us crying. I rush to cradle him in my arm. How precious, everyone in the castle is happy with this child's presence.
His father has left, it seems there are problems up north. I hope he is safe, Sun is too young to lose his Father.
I carry Sun down the Castle, we are met with an array of servants. The mighty Red guards follow after us.
I head towards the Royal garden;
As you step through the grand entrance, the soft "creak" of the wooden gate echoes through the air, beckoning you to enter the majestic garden fit for royalty.
The warm sunlight casts a golden glow, illuminating the vibrant flora and fauna, and inviting you to indulge your senses.
with perfectly manicured hedges of deep green, intricately patterned stone pathways that shimmer like polished silver, and majestic fountains that splash and gurgle softly: "Gloop, gloop, gurgle." The sound is like music to your ears, calming your mind and soothing your soul.
The first thing that catches your eye is the stunning central fountain, its delicate water features and intricate carvings creating a mesmerizing display of sound and sight.
Water jets shoot up into the air with a gentle "Whoosh," and the fountain's edges bubble and chatter: "Bloop, bloop, babble." The water's edge is lined with velvety-soft moss, its emerald green hue glistening with dew, inviting you to touch.
The fountain is surrounded by a meticulously groomed lawn, soft and green as velvet, inviting you to stroll across its expansive expanse. The sound of gravel crunching beneath your feet is the only disturbance to the peaceful atmosphere.

This has been my routine with Sun, he is now 4 years old.
The little prince is a stubborn boy, refusing for anyone except me, to carry him. A bit of a crybaby but headstrong like his father. His first words were "mama go." He seems to enjoy our time in the royal Garden.
I look on to see Sun picking a Rose, I constantly tell him to be careful.
After a while in the garden, he falls asleep on his garden bed I had servants make for him

After that session, I was mentally tired. I really had fun today.
It's late, tommorow I have to visit my School.
I am now 4 years old, it seems I have to add more hours. I need to reach 16 years old, right now I am basically just a spectator.
