Reunion

The atmosphere grew tense as the stone remained unresponsive. 

Whispers and speculative glances were exchanged among the gathered crowd. The anticipation in the air was evident, and the words spoken reflected a mixture of doubt and hostility .

"Is she really telling the truth?" one person murmured, their skepticism evident. 

It was clear that some were questioning the authenticity of her words, wondering if there was any validity to the claims made. 

"Is Fate intervening once again?," another voice chimed in, carrying a sense of worry.

The notion that fate might be at play added a layer of complication to the situation.

"Let's just wait and see for now" 

Seconds turned into minutes but the stone remained silent, the initial anticipation began to wane. Some exchanged disappointed glances, while others maintained a cautious optimism, waiting for a sign that might still come.
