Zhi hadn't slept much that night. Actually, she didn't sleep at all. She was nervous about all of this. Most of her time was spent alone. She didn't like being around lots of people. She prefered to train and practice by herself. But this was her uncle and her aunt's idea. They said that it would be a good thing for her. So here she was. Zhi let out a little sigh and leaned her head back. She stood up as they got closer to their destination and gripped onto the side of the basket.

Zhi looked around as the balloon flew closer to the mountains. She wrapped her arms around herself, shivering lightly as the wind whipped around her face, blowing her dark hair. Finally, they landed and Zhi stepped out of the balloon on slightly shaky legs. She straighted up and tugged at her clothes, smoothing out any wrinkles. Zhi looked around at the landing pad. It really was beautiful.

People smiled at her and waved as she walked around the landing pad. Everyone seemed so excited and happy. Zhi didn't really smile at them though, she was lost in her own world. She was taking everything in, looking around at all of the beautiful things. It was amazing to be somewhere new, really. It was nice to see new things. Zhi walked over to the fountain and looked at all of the beautiful details, trying to commit it to memory.
