The Two Jades

Grace's question hung in the air between the two of them while Rune remained silent. A moment later, he let out a sigh and finally spoke, "Do you remember that I told you that I inherited this jade ring from my master?"

In response, she slowly nodded her head, recalling their previous conversation where he did tell her that his jade ring came from his master.

"Before his death, my master told me about the jade bracelet that was made out of the same jade as this ring. He told me that it was his lover who carried the jade bracelet and I could find her here in the Mortal Realm. When I came here, I found out that my master's lover was your grandmother and that now you are the one who carries this jade bracelet."

Grace struggled to wrap her brain around all that he had revealed. There were way too many questions that she wanted to ask him, way too many confusions about his story. "How did you... even find me and the bracelet?"
