Another Lover

Stella learned a bit more about the Great Sage and the Valyenor kingdom of long ago. She felt bad for the sage who had been all alone in his realm for so long. He was longing to finally be with his wife in the netherworld but he said that he still had things to do.

They had a bit more storytelling about the past before they proceeded with their talks about Stella's former world when the sage no longer wanted to talk about himself.

When their usual meeting was over, she finally returned to the castle and her father and Zafir were nervously waiting for her.

"Stella, what did you speak about with His Holiness? Why do you have to keep meeting him?" her father asked.
