She felt the brush of his nose against her neck, and tilted her head to the side, giving him better access.

"It's not. I'm here, in Urai." Unable to hold back any longer, she spun around, and threw her arms around his neck, pulling him close. "I'm here."

He stilled.

"Aekeira..." He breathed.

She had never heard so many emotions wrapped into a single word.

"My Aekeira."

That sob tore from her throat.

She clung to him tighter, burying her face in his neck. His scent, clean and familiar, filled her senses.

And for the first time in years, she felt relaxed. Grounded.

Finally, after what felt like eternity, she pulled back, sniffling. "How did you recognize me?"

Grand Lord Vladya gently wiped the tears from Aekeira's face with his good hand, drinking her in. Greedily devouring the sight of her.
