In a dark tunnel
Izaak looked at the evening sun from the palace's top in the Northern Tower. He had watched the sunset after a long time. Tilting his head, he realized it was Alora who had climbed the top of the tower to reach there.
"What are you doing here, Alora? And where's Magnus?" Izaak asked.
Alora stopped in front of him as she tried to catch her breath while keeping her hand on her chest. She climbed almost a hundred stairs to reach the tallest tower in the palace.
"Magnus is with Father-in-law. I thought to see Brother Izaak know about his health when a servant told me he was here," Alora said as she looked around before her eyes landed on the sun on the horizon. It was more than half set and she stepped ahead.
Izaak asked her to be careful as they were at a large height and saw how her hands gripped the balustrade.
