Appreciation

"So you trust our decision now?" Nathaniel asked Azura, who placed her hand gently on the crystal ball, afraid that she would hurt her daughter or that the glow from her hands would be gone if she held it too tight. 

The tears in her eyes weren't stopping as she looked at her daughter's confused expression.

Her daughter, who once held the cahoots of the strongest army and the strongest powers, was looking at that little glow with such confusion. 

Her daughter, who once had enough powers inside her to destroy an entire kingdom, had no idea what was happening to her. 

Was there anything more heartbreaking than this? She wondered and looked at Nathaniel.

"Did you tell your father about it yet? He would surely be happy to know about it," Azura asked.

Nathaniel looked at the crystal ball before shaking his head. 

He leaned on the table, not looking at anything in particular.
