After a few minutes of silence, the Lady of the Lake confirmed Ethan’s statement.
“You’re right,” Lilian said sadly. “Yes. This rain is indeed my doing.”
“Will this rain stop anytime soon?” Ethan asked.
“I don’t know,” Lilian replied. “But right now, I feel like there’s a hole inside of my heart that won't close no matter what I do. The only way I can relieve the pain in my heart is by singing.
“If I don’t sing, I feel like I’m going to go crazy and lose myself completely. If that happens…”
Lilian sighed and closed her eyes, not wanting to continue what she was going to say earlier.
“Can you tell me what the problem is?” Ethan asked. “Maybe I can help you.”
“You can’t help me,” Lilian answered in a heartbeat.
“Are you sure?” Ethan inquired. “I am a wizard. I can use magic.”
Lilian’s sad expression was making him feel sad as well.
