"Royal Father!" Alicia exclaimed as she dived into King Augustus's open arms. She hugged him tightly, taking in his familiar scent. For Alicia, she had not seen him in seven long years. "I have missed you..."
King Augustus smiled warmly as he held his daughter in his arms. He knew that even though only a few weeks passed here for her it had been a long, long time. "Come let's go in. I am sure you are tired after such a long journey."
"Un! It has been very long for me. How many days have passed here?" Alicia asked. She hoped not too much time had passed. But seeing how she did not grow any old as far as she could tell, not too many days had gone by.
