Tears welled up in Elara's eyes as she clutched the silver locket in her hand. Inside, a tiny portrait smiled back at her – the face of a young woman with sunlit hair and emerald eyes, a striking resemblance to Elara herself and the young her she look more like her mother!
"Mother... I... I never knew..." Elara whispered, her voice choked with emotion, she was not filled with emotions for realizing of her family now but feeled with emotions that she was going to see them for the first time in her life.
Addah wrapped her arms around Elara, pulling her close in a comforting embrace.
"Good child, you look more like your mother and father, ooh, I don't know what to say, you look more like your father and younger siblings," she said.
The vintage like castle was filled with laughter and the other team members saw these two people having a genuine smile and laugher for the first time.
