As the horses entered Lapis Valley, Aurelia's heart clenched at the sight of the familiar streets. Her house drew up close and she spied Zue standing by the fence, waving wildly. She jumped off and sprinted towards her, catching her around the neck as they hugged wildly. The hug would have continued if Neptune hadn't butted in and pulled Zue towards him.
Aurelia really wanted to see Falcon and she wanted to hear all about it from Zue, but there was one important thing to do before.
'Zue, where's mom?'
Zue shook her head dejectedly and Aurelia's heart sank. 'We don't know. Nobody has seen her for some days now...'
Aurelia hung her head and Zue pulled her towards herself, holding her close.
'I met Jason, I mean, Falcon.' She said and Aurelia looked up. Zue was smiling as if she had good news. 'Where is he, Zue? Please tell me you know where he is...' Aurelia knew she was a minute away from crying.
