Passing Moment

"Why are you up so late, Little Nunu?" The old General lightly knocked on his granddaughter's door. He had noticed that the lights in Yaana's room had yet to go out, but the moon was already high in the sky. 

The past few months had been exceptionally peaceful. The Garis Clan was finally free, the old General's bedridden daughter, Selena, had finally awoken from her coma, and the Garis Clan had gained a stable, well respected foothold in the Opes Kingdom. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these were the happiest days of the Garis Clan. 

"Where do you think Ryu is right now, grandpa?" Yaana asked lightly. 

The old General sighed from the other side of the door. It could be said that these would have been his happiest days had his granddaughter not been acting like this recently. He shouldn't be surprised that this was all about a boy. Yaana was already almost nineteen, she was around that age.
