Later that evening, Eleanor remained in her chambers, feeling burdened by the day's events. Her attention was caught by a gentle tap on the door.
"Come in,” She responded.
Liora's concerned eyes greeted her mother as she walked through the open door. "Mom, will everything be okay?"
Eleanor grinned while hugging her daughter tightly. "Of course, my darling." Everything will be fine. We are powerful, and we are together. Keep that in mind.
Liora gave a nod, her tiny arms embracing her mother's neck. "I'm afraid, but I have faith in you."
Eleanor felt a surge of pride and determination in her heart. "I have faith in you, Lily." We will confront any challenges as a united front.
While putting Liora to bed and giving her a goodnight kiss, Eleanor couldn't ignore the sense that this was just the start. The prophecy hung over them, yet with every obstacle, their connection strengthened.
