To Helion

After all was said and done, Bella and Amon cleaned themselves up before going ahead to prepare for their travels ahead. As much as they wanted to continue making love with one another, she was right in that they actually had a lot of work to do that day. For one, they had to make their way back to the Helion Camp so that her new husband could get things in order. He was king, after all, and he shouldn't be away from his kingdom for too long, especially since it was still only now starting to recover from all of the atrocities that its previous king had inflicted on it… which was why they were now currently in front of everyone as they said their farewells.

"Leaving so soon?" her mother asked, a warm smile on her face despite the bittersweet mood. "Can't you stay for a day or two more? Just call it a honeymoon of sorts."
