Orla and Lucius were frozen. They could not fathom the amount of pain and misery Madonna was experiencing right that moment.
She has been wallowing in her depression from the moment she came back with Alder. Madonna had created a maze around her chamber and had been crying profusely since then.
Orla and Lucius were able to pry through the maze and when they saw Madonna on floor weeping at with such pain miserably, both the mother and son got worried over her health.
They ran to hug her to comfort her of whatever she was going through. Madonna wrapped her hands around Orla as her tears continued to flow in a uncontrollable manner.
It came as a shock to Lucius as it was his very first time to see his young witch crying. To him, she was one of the strongest person he had ever knew of. No matter what she saw or what she came across, he saw her conduct everything with such calm and wicked manner. She never let despair overwhelm her thinking or sentiments.
