Richard went back to the village that was recently destroyed by the dragons and where he had seen Corinna. She had been dressed like a cabin boy, and her hair was cut short to her shoulder, so he went to the shore to find her. He took his time to look everywhere, asking a few people if they knew of a white-haired boy or girl. His daughters looked very distinct so people should be able to tell who he was looking for.
At last, he found her, helping a few men load some things on a ship. He stood at a distance watching her, unable to believe that he finally found her after so many years. His heart which was getting worse, tightened. At least he found her before he could die.
He walked over, every step feeling like a thousand years as if he was traveling around the world. Finally, he came to her and she paused to look his way. He took off his cloak with a pounding heart.
