Talia looked at the silvery figure in front of her, and her heart ached and warmed at the same time as the feminine features became more distinct.
When Talia opened the portal at her Luna ceremony, the figure looked huge, yet now that she was next to Valerian, she looked petite… just like Talia. Talia understood why Valerian said, more than once, that Talia reminded him of her mother. They looked alike.
And there was Valerian, standing proud and majestic with his hand resting on Astraea's hip, and this time, his smile was genuine. He was happy, and Talia was happy as well.
A warm sensation wrapped around Talia's shoulders, and she looked to the side to see a humanoid mass of darkness. It was Damon.
'How did we get here?' Talia asked Damon.
'I think it's your necklace,' Damon responded. He saw it glowing before they appeared… wherever this was.
