Journey Through Life - Zenith and Nadir

What's above, you'll find it close to the earth. What's hidden beneath, it stretches its ends to the sky. In this journey of life look beyond the surface to see anew And allow the truth of ancient knowledge to reveal itself.

-Hazam the Hermit

I've had this vision in my head for years and step by step, month by month I finally managed to realise it and draw something personal.

The whole scene and the meaning is open to interpretation. One can dig it and perhaps find something unearthly..

The Elemental Hermit was about to introduce a new topic to the Student when a bundle appeared before his face. It seemed to be a piece of sweet bread wrapped in linen.

"Happy Anniversary! It's been another year of our training and here's our little enjoyment!"

The Master of all Elements hesitated for a moment. The Creation he became didn't need the food to nourish the Body. He didn't want it to be wasted [on him]. 

Felix was well prepared to tackle that reluctance. 

"It's for you and I put an extra effort to acquire such a treat in this time of rationing. It's only us here and the cake will dry fast in this scorching heat if we don't consume it."

The Hermit gave a sigh as he realised there was nothing to oppose anymore. The smile replaced confusion on his face. 

"Well, if you put it that way.."

After all, the Ancient Being was among the living again. And to remain human-like he needed to act like one [sometimes].

The Hermit's Longer Walk

A whistling train (in the dark of the night) Like a melancholic Shankha (conch shell instrument).

The sweet lullaby Mother hummed to me the first time.

Ever since I was born, a blind river flows. Sobbing emancipation bestowed by the song.

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am.

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am.

Where did I repose? Cooped up in which word?

All the letters Shattered into splinters of light.

Would ever emotion and silence Take my maiden song in?

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am.

Where does the lost melody abide? A mysterious blue garden of myth.

Upon heading back home, a wide open sky Murmured notes, a dust-written song

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am..

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am..

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am..

How far will this wind drift me along? Oh, high wind, here I am..

When they heard surprising news, they knew they'd come no matter what.

Piers managed to slip away from Senate and crossed all dangerous seas and lands to be by his best friend's side that important day. Lana of course came along and they decided they'd be celebrating as if there's no tomorrow! They rarely have chances to spend some more time together due to all work and conflicts in the area.

Neshi arrived straight from her fieldwork, as another global case was in her hands. She found a moment to leave her world and bring Kaiyoshi with her. If the World Champion & International Detective and also the Guardian of the Seas can make it, everyone should!

Auura wanted to visit the North for some time so it looks like it was meant to be! She didn't hesitate, just packed her things and set out on the journey to witness her people's bright destiny.

Hazam was the only one who knew their Future and maybe that was the reason he was smiling almost all the time. Or maybe it was nostalgia of their times.. or maybe something different. It's a big day also for Nila as she found out that the Past will show the roots of her family.
