Chapter 24

Thanks to our early departure, it was still morning when our plot by the banks of the Silverthread River welcomed us back as Yeska and I approached the homestead. The ground beneath our feet was firm, remnants of the previous night’s dew barely clinging to the blades of grass.

The larroling greeted us first as we stepped into the yard, its massive form moving with surprising grace towards us. It sniffed the air around Yeska, seemingly approving of her presence before giving a sort of satisfied grunt.

Following close behind were Sparky and Mr. Drizzles, their elemental forms crackling with energy. They swirled around us, a comforting greeting albeit an emotionless one since the elementals did not show such things.

We entered the house, the warmth from the inside pushing against the cool air that clung to our clothes. The scents of breakfast still lingered, mixing with the earthier undertones that filled the living room.

Celeste and Leigh were there, sitting side by side on the couch. Their heads turned towards us, their expressions brightening at our return. Leigh’s voice filled the room, “Welcome back, you two!”

I crossed the room in a few strides, greeting both Celeste and Leigh with a kiss. Their warmth was palpable, a tangible connection that spoke volumes about our relationship.

“Where’s Diane and Lucas?” I asked, curiosity mingling with the need to see them, to ensure they were well.

“They’re both upstairs,” Celeste answered, her voice soft with a hint of reassurance. “Diane and Lucas have been napping together. It’s been quite peaceful this morning.”

With a nod, I made my way to the stairs, my steps quick with anticipation. The rest of the house remained behind me, a comforting murmur that I carried along as I climbed.

As I reached the bedroom door, I paused, taking a moment to ready myself for the sight that awaited. Gently, I pushed the door open, the room greeting me with a quiet that seemed sacred.

Diane and Lucas were there, together on the bed, an image that stilled my heart with its simplicity and beauty. Diane’s arm was wrapped protectively around Lucas, their breathing synced in the silent room.

Lucas, with his mop of dark hair, lay against Diane, his small hand clutching at the fabric of her shirt. Diane’s face was relaxed, the traces of any fatigue smoothed away in sleep.

I stepped closer, leaning down to kiss them both lightly. At my touch, Diane stirred, her eyes flickering beneath her lids before settling again. Lucas gave a small sigh, shifting slightly but remaining deep in his dreams.

With one last look, filled with a love I couldn’t quite express, I backed out of the room, gently closing the door behind me. The image of them, so peaceful and content, stayed with me as I descended the stairs.

Rejoining Leigh, Celeste, and Yeska in the living room, I found my place among them. The warmth from the fire crackled softly, the light dancing across their faces.

“They’re both still asleep,” I shared, my voice carrying a note of both contentment and gratitude for the tranquility they found in each other’s company.
