I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

Finally, the day has come.

Sunlight washes across her skin as she leaves behind the cave. Upon the summit, she glances down and most of the world is specks of dust scattered across the rocky knolls. In truth, she cannot entirely see them all, but her heart senses them. Their scents reach like tendrils of smoke across the kingdom and climb to her height, luring her toward them like an obedient child.

Her movements are quick, but fluid. She descends with furtive will and runs with the wind against her back until they are finally within her view.

Her – their – children.
And Lior.

Among the group, he stands out like the beacon he is. His commanding presence has pulled the strings of their family to reunite them after so long. A couple of them have been living in the mountainside, in the cave that Castile forged for them, but they’ve never come together like this.

Her heart explodes with unreigned joy as she stops then slowly walks toward them to close the last bit of distance. A smile beautifully personifies the happiness pulsing through her veins as she loses herself in the euphoria of their reunion. ”My children,” she croons as she adoringly reaches to touch each one of them before turning on Lior with eyes brightened by an inner flame. ”My love,” my everything, she implies, before folding into him and looking at what they have built together.
