Sahar smiled slightly at his first words, surprised at what they were.
"Do not worry about my brother Drannor," she said softly, stepping closer towards him and noted the horror in his eyes, but pushed the feeling of worry down. Was she really that horrible to look upon?
"Drannor...." she whispered when he spoke of never seeing her again "Drannor...no, please..."
Tears bubbled into her green eyes, shakily standing and moving closer to him. Not scared of him at all, she knew it was an accident and not done on purpose.
"Drannor, no...never," she protested "I promised I will stay by you, no matter what! And I don't break promises..."
Her pale hands outstretched, taking his in hers and gently squeezed them.
"Forever am I yours."

Auraka walked down the cobbled path, hand and hand in with his beloved Gem, his true Gem. Every few strides, he raised the clasped hands and kissed a finger before allowing them to drop.
They had been spending the day together, away from all the work they needed to catch up on, but at the news of his sisters return home, they were rushing to see if the news was true. Auraka hoped so, but he didn't want to set his hopes to high.
But he broke into a huge grin at the sight of his niece and nephew playing outside.
"Kasinda! Taeron!"
He pulled his giggling twin niece into a hug before dragging Taeron into it as well, looking up at the lighted house, heart lighter then it had been in days.
"She's home Gem! Finally, she homes," he muttered to his wife and hugged the children tighter before turning his attention to the words of Kasinda.
"Don't go up their Uncle Auraka," she was saying "daddy hurt mummy, Aunt Maith is up their now."
Auraka's eyes narrowed at these words, looking at Taeron who just nodded slightly, before moving away with a glare at the house.
"Get down here Drannor!" he yelled with a challenge "how dare you hurt her!"
