Eilownia had awoken sometime midday. She waddled to the dining room to eat lunch with everyone, her stomach grumbling loudly.
They chatted and laughed over sandwiches and salads. Eilwonia's heart soared. Was this what it was like to have a family? Would she have grown up like this? Smiling and laughing with a satisfied stomach?
After lunch, she and the Queen strolled in the gardens with Marix following closely behind. He pretty much refused to let her out of his sight if she wasn't tucked in bed sleeping.
Marix allowed them their privacy, trailing behind a few steps.
"I want to know more about my mother. I know you've told me a few things already but I want to know more, if that's okay." Eilownia asked sheepishly. Was she asking too much?
Queen Mavely grabbed her hand and smiled, "Come with me, I want to take you somewhere."
Eilownia nodded and allowed her grandmother to lead her through the hall and up the winding stairs.
