Darian turned to his mother when he felt her wake up, and her look on his face. An upset look.

"Mother."

"My love, I was worried."

"Really?" he made, amused.

"Yesterday wasn't a day like any other," she said in defense.

"You don't have to apologize, Mother. I know that."

Ivy bit her lips slightly.

"You went looking for that stranger who is looking for that person, didn't you`"

"At first yes, and as I failed to find him, despite my powers, I gave up, and... I returned to the palace of yore. To that person's palace."

Ivy couldn't help but let out a slight sob.

"Me, I never went back there, not once, since he left."

"Why? It's been a hundred years."

Ivy sniffed as she shrugged.

"A hundred years, or a thousand, or more, will never change that kind of love."

Darian studied her for a moment, then smiled.
