“Eight months?” Zara gasped, “But to reach the temple in that time, you would have to walk at least eight or nine kilometers every day!”

Fitz nodded resolutely, “That’s right.

Nine kilometers is the minimum, and if the weather and conditions are favorable, I’ll have to walk even more so I can take my time and enjoy the natural beauty along the way.”

Zara couldn’t help but feel worried for her brother.

Deana, sensing her daughter’s concern, turned to her and said, “Zara, let Fitz take a bath first.

He needs to rest after his long journey.”

Zara nodded in agreement, then turned to Fitz, “Brother, take a bath and get some rest.

We’ll be waiting outside for you.”

Fitz nodded in agreement and made his way to the bathroom.

As soon as Zara closed the door behind him, he wasted no time in stripping off his tattered clothes and preparing to take a much-needed bath.

But as he stood before the bathtub, staring at the clear, warm water, he hesitated.

After a moment’s thought, he grabbed his dirty clothes and made his way to the shower room adjacent to the bathroom. Placing his clothes on the ground, Fitz turned on the shower and began to rinse off the dirt and grime that clung to his body.

He took his time, washing away the dust and sweat accumulated from his long journey, bit by bit.

Meanwhile, Zara and Deana had made their way to the dining table, where they exchanged a meaningful look.

There was so much they wanted to say, but words seemed inadequate in that moment.

There was a brief moment of silence before Zara broke it, “Mom… Fitz has changed so much in the past six months,” she said, shaking her head in amazement, “He’s saying things I never thought I’d hear from him.

It’s like he’s a different person entirely.”

Deana’s face broke into a proud smile, “I’ve always believed that everything in this world has a purpose,” she said.

“Even though Fitz has lived as a playboy for over 20 years, it seems that he was always meant to find his true path.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “When he returns from the Temple in eight months, I believe his life will undergo a profound transformation.

I don’t know what that change will be, but I’m certain it will be for the better.”
