As the sand painting began, the audience could see a vivid image—the man's country had eventually become a war zone.
With the intense but smooth piano piece, they couldn't help but clench their fists and feel worried for the man.
Despite the ravages of war, the man was strong-willed and finally led his people to defeat the enemies and win the war.
As the people cheered for the victory, the man was suddenly shot by an arrow.
In no time, blood splattered out from his chest.
Meanwhile, the lady with a crescent moon mark on her forehead finally escaped from Zeus and came to the battlefield.
It was a bolt from the blue for her to see the man lying in a puddle of blood.
Bam—
An ear-piercing noise came from the piano, indicating that the lady was heartbroken and devastated.
Eventually, the sand painting became pitch-black, and the piano-playing also stopped.
Toward the end, a few words appeared in the sand painting: In the Moonlight.
With that, the entire hall fell silent, save for sobs coming from the audience.
The audience was touched by the perfect combination of the sand painting and the piano performance, feeling as though the story depicted by Arielle actually happened in real life.
When Wendy opened her eyes, she realized that tears had rolled down her cheeks.
Shocked, Wendy glanced at Arielle, who was in the limelight.
At that moment, Wendy was finally aware of the insurmountable gap between Arielle and her.
Alas, I lag far behind Arielle.
Wendy couldn't continue thinking, for her mind had gone blank. Besides, she went weak at the knees and collapsed onto the floor.
Meanwhile, beads of perspiration formed on Arielle's forehead. After heaving a sigh, she walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.
