Drayce and Seren had returned to Megaris, back to their home. They appeared straight at the Crystal Palace of Theodora instead of going to the main palace.
They had arrived late in the night but didn't inform anyone. They rested in the chamber meant for them. In the morning, they finally made an appearance and asked a servant to inform the old lady of their arrival.
Theodora hurried to see them, where the couple was outside in the garden, relishing the familiar air and surroundings they had been missing for the past year.
Sensing her presence, Drayce turned to her, offering her a smile. "Grandma."
The old lady couldn't contain her happiness. She looked weaker than before.
"Let me see if you are truly here or if I am dreaming like I always do."
She touched Drayce's face with her trembling fingers. "You are truly here."
"I am," he said, and she turned to Seren.
Seren held her hand and said, "It's not a dream, Grandma."
