The woman raised her hand and gently touched the shoulder of Elara.
Elara, with a pure expression of happiness on her face at the touch, lifted her head.
"Your friend has come to visit you, my flower," the woman said.
Elara's turned in the direction Morwenna indicated. When she noticed the two figures standing at the other end of the courtyard the look of awe on her face instantly changed.
First surprise, then disbelief, and finally, a wave of joy spread across her face.
"Aurelion..." she whispered.
Morwenna responded to Elara's reaction with a faint smile. "Come," she said calmly and rose from her knees.
Elara immediately stood up as well and they began to walk together towards Aurelion and Faelan.
As the pair approached, Aurelion couldn't help but scrutinize the woman more carefully.
She was indeed tall, probably over one ninety, and the thin white dress she wore seemed to have no effect on her in the cold air.
