"N… Nymeria," Taranis whispered, his heart beating like a war drum with each step he took toward her.
A bright smile tugged at Nymeria's serene face as she moved toward him as well.
The duo stopped only when the distance between them was barely half a foot.
"Woah! You've become so tall, Taranis," Nymeria said, raising her head as she barely reached his chest, his height now towering over 6'3".
"Oh heavens, you look so serene, Nymeria," Taranis murmured, unable to tear his gaze away from her luminous face.
"W-what are you saying in front of everyone?" Nymeria murmured, averting her eyes in embarrassment.
"Look at him, he doesn't need his mother anymore," Aestra sulked, having long parted from Voltrex as she watched Taranis with a warm gaze.
Hearing his mother's voice, Taranis finally pulled himself free from Nymeria's charm and moved toward her.
"Mother, I missed you," Taranis said, embracing her in a tight hug.
