Eliora slowly pulled away from Zarek.
His hands lingered on her waist for a moment, he wasn't quite ready to let her go, but she gently stepped back anyway.
The world around her felt… strange.
Her glowing hair moved softly with the wind as she looked around the clearing, trying to understand where they were.
Before Eliora could even process it more, Lily suddenly dropped into a deep bow, lower than Eliora had ever seen someone bow before.
Her voice carried deep reverence.
"Queen of Beasts."
She looked at Zarek immediately, then at Maelina, clearly expecting one of them to explain.
"Who is this?" she asked.
Her gaze returned to Lily again. She studied the older woman more carefully this time. Something about her face felt… familiar.
Eliora frowned, then she paused. Her eyes widened.
"Lily?"
Lily slowly lifted her head, a small knowing smile touching her lips.
"Yes," she said gently. "I am Lily."
She straightened. "A former High Seer of Eldfrost."
