Stand down

"They have been in there for too long now" said Elihu as they had been waiting out here the entire time, while Mero and Wura were yet to return back.

"Maybe they are speaking with the diviner as we speak?" asked Zuph as he looked at Elihu.

"Even if that was so, I have a bad feeling that they are in danger in there" said Elihu.

"Well regardless of if you feel so or not, Mero told us that if they did not return by sunset, then we can go and look for them, and as you can see, the sun has not set yet" said Zechariah.

"But it will soon" said Elihu as he looked up into the sky as he could see the sun was planning to set as the sky turned orange.

"And as soon as it does, and they are still not back here, I will go and look for them myself" said Elihu as they all stayed quiet.

Luc turned to look at Nora, she had bene quiet the entire time, she had not even said a single word.

Nora was silently praying in her heart that Wura and Mero were alright in there, and also that Wura had all her questions answered, because she knew that would be the only way that Wura would finally have peace.

"Are you alright?" asked Luc as his voice snapped Nora out of her many thoughts.

"Ahh yes… I am Sir Luc" said Nora as she looked at Luc and she nodded her head.

"Are you sure? You do not look so good" said Luc.

"No I am alright; I only worry about her majesty" said Nora as she added.

"We all do" replied Zuph as he sighed.

…

"My Queen, I have rendered all the help that I can render to you" said Elysia as she smiled.

"Thank you for that Elysia, from the bottom of my heart, thank you" said Wura as she was so relieved that coming here was not a mistake at all, at least now she knew where exactly Liam was, and that he was alright.

"No need to thank me my Queen, really, it is the least that I can do to aid you" said Elysia as she smiled and Wura was so grateful.

"Well now my Queen, the sun is about to set, and you have a long journey ahead of you" said Elysia as she smiled.

"And I have to take my leave now, I have somewhere else to be" said Elysia as she smiled.

"Alright Elysia, thank you once again" said Wura as Elysia smiled.

"Have a safe journey back to the Castle my Queen, and you too Mero" said Elysia as she smiled and in the same moment she disappeared from the room as if she had never been there in the first place.

Wura looked at Mero as Mero looked at her, this woman was obviously a witch, and Mero did not trusts her words at all, no matter how polite she seemed.

"Let us go now my Queen, we have spent far too long in this place" said Mero as Wura nodded her head, she agreed with him.

Wura stood up as Mero made sure to stay very close to her as they walked out of the room.

…

"That is it, the sun has set, we have waited too long, I am going to look for them" said Elihu as he started to walk and Luc followed after him as he stooped in his track when he heard footsteps.

"My Queen?" asked Elihu as he saw Wura as she walked past him.

"Stand down Elihu" said Mero as he walked past Elihu.

"My Queen" said Nora as she saw Nora and she smiled.

"My Queen, did you meet with the diviner?" asked Zuph.

"Yes I did, her name is Elysia" said Wura as Zuph nodded his head.

"It is getting late now, let us return back to the Castle" said Wura.

"Alright my Queen" said Luc as he helped Wura into the carriage and Nora followed after her as he closed the door to the carriage.

"What happened?" asked Elihu as he turned to look at Mero.

"I will explain later, but for now, we have to start returning to the Castle" said Mero as he got on his horse and Elihu nodded, he was curious, both Mero and Wura were acting strangely, he wondered what the diviner could have possibly told them?

Elihu shrugged off his thoughts as he got on his own horse and they all began to move.

"My Queen, are you alright?" asked Nora as her voice snapped Wura out of her thoughts.

"Nora, I am wonderful" said Wura as for the first time in such a long while, she smiled, she smiled the smile of relief, of happiness, of Joy that she now knew where Liam was.

"Oh my Queen?" asked Nora in surprise as she did not expect Wura's attitude, she had not seen her smile in such a long time that It surprised her and it made her smile.

That must have meant that Wura now knew where Liam was, the mere thought put Nora's heart at rest as she was relieved.

"Yes Nora, after so long, after so long" said Wura as she felt like crying, but she would not cry right now, this was a happy day, a happy day, she was not going to cry at all.

"You found his Majesty my Queen?" asked Nora with a smile.

"Yes, I know where he is, I know where Liam is, he is alive, he is healthy, Elysia told me so, and she even showed him to me" said Wura as she smiled, she could not believe it, she just felt so overjoyed, so much so that her heart that had been burdened before was now light, she felt like she could finally breathe again, after so long.

"That is wonderful news my Queen, wonderful" said Nora as she smiled, she felt so relieved that finally all was well.

"Yes it is" said Wura as she smiled.

"My Queen, I am sure that Royal Duke will be as joyous as you are" said Nora as she smiled.

"I know that he will be" said Wura as she could not wait to tell Nigel the good news, she knew that he would be overjoyed as well, Liam was alright, he was alright.

Nora smiled as she suddenly caught of what seemed to be a scroll that Wura was holding in her hand.

"What is that my Queen?" asked Nora out of curiosity as she pointed to the scroll in Wura's hand.

"Ahh well this is a map Nora" said Wura as she smiled.

"A map?" asked Nora in confusion, she wondered if the diviner gave Wura a map, because when she left, she had nothing of that sort with her.

"Yes Nora a map" said Wura as she replied.

"Nora, I would love to explain to you everything that happened with Elysia, but not right now at this moment, I feel so tired" said Wura as she yawned, it would be a long way back to the Castle, and it would seem that she tired herself out from all the happiness, she had not been sleeping well as of late.

"That is alright my Queen, I understand, we still have a long way to reach the Castle, so please rest" said Nora as she smiled and Wura yawned again.

"But you have done nothing but watch me sleep Nora" said Wura with a yawn.

"You do not need to worry about me my Queen, I have no complaint at all, but please rest my Queen, it will do you some good, so you are all rested and ready when we reach the Castle" said Nora as she smiled and Wura nodded her head, she had to agree with her, she was so tired at the moment.

"Alright Nora, I will rest now" said Wura as she smiled.

"That is it my Queen, please have a good rest" said Nora as she smiled.

"I will" replied Wura as she closed her eyes with a smile, now that she knew where Liam was, she could finally sleep in peace.

Nora smiled as she watched Wura drift into slumber, she felt so happy that Wura had finally found Liam.

"Goodnight my Queen, have sweet dreams, because the heavens have finally heard all our prayers" said Nora as she smiled and she looked outside the window into the darkness that they were passing by, she was so happy that all their prayers had finally been answered, and she was very grateful.

Nora yawned as she realized that she too was tired, so she closed the drapes of the windows as she rested her back on the chair as she closed her eyes to sleep, it would be a long ride back to the Castle, and she knew that they would not reach there soon.
