"Alright, I will pause the story for now," the grandmother said, her warm smile radiating understanding. "I can sense that you have countless questions swirling in your mind, and there's a possibility that you're skeptical about the reality of it all." Aduke, still processing the astonishing revelation, found herself at a loss for words. It felt as though her thoughts had been plucked from her mind and spoken aloud. The grandmother's perceptiveness struck her to the core.
"Anyway, why don't we begin with introductions? My name is Elysia," the grandmother declared, her voice infused with a hint of pride. Aduke's astonishment intensified, leaving her struggling to comprehend the situation unfolding before her. The first thought that emerged was whether this woman, who shared the same name as the protagonist in the tale, was indeed the very same Elysia she had just learned about.
