Inyanga was smiling with her arms spread. As soon as Haldir set the children on their feet, Lena and Nicolai ran to her. She picked up Lena as Nicolai hugged her on her thighs. "And how is my little one?" she asked, kissing her cheek.
"I am fine," Lena said excitedly as her eyes searched for Ruvyn.
Inyanga ruffled Nicolai's hair. "Why are you coming after such a long time? Ruvyn missed you."
"Because Ruvyn has started going to the wizard academy," Nicolai pouted. "I also want to go, but mommy isn't allowing."
"You are too young," said Inyanga as she carried Lena in the room inside.
"I am big!" Nicolai protested. "I can go to the academy anytime!"
Inyanga chuckled. "Of course, you can, Nicolai, but wait for a little bit. Then you will have better skills to defeat everyone else in the academy."
Haldir came to walk next to them. He wrapped his arms around Inyanga. "How are you feeling, love?" he asked.
