Hope and Despair (Part 4)
"Actually, I'm also expecting another daughter so the first round is on me." More cheers ensued while the small crowd moved toward the oldest tavern in Lutia, asking Raaz lots of questions about his stay in the Desert.
Seeing her husband happy and surrounded by familiar faces, made Elina smile. Lutia had indeed changed a lot from the time when it was just a small village, but it was still their home.
While the Verhens walked through the old district, they passed in front of Nana's house and felt their hearts sinking. Ever since the old mage had died, no one lived there but until Lith's banishment, the people of Lutia had maintained it well.
Even the healer who had taken Nana's place had used her old office, keeping her memory alive. Now, however, the door was barred with wooden planks and the windows were dirty with mud and dust.
