Brief Conversation

In front of me was my former master. The woman I admired the most, who was my role model. After years of not knowing anything about her, not even knowing if she was still alive, now she stands right in front of me.

"Hello, Lily..."

The feeling of finding someone I thought I would never see again is overwhelming. I want to ask what happened to her, why she is with Éder, why she left Ecrom. There are so many questions that I can hardly decide what to say first.

"You must be very confused, Serenna. I didn't want to meet anyone right now; it's a shame that not everything goes the way we want."

She finishes speaking, and I can feel, deep in her voice, that there is sadness and frustration, as if she is carrying a hidden burden.

"Why... are you with Éder?"

Even though I want to know many other things, the most important one is the reason she is with the boy. I can't let my heart speak louder than my reason.
