"Mother!"
"My child!"
Celestia called out from the distance, her eyes moist.
Abruptly, Isabella shook. She dared not look but couldn't help but swivel her head towards her little child. At that moment, her heart went through tumultuous emotions. The little girl who always listened to her was now a full-fledged woman. It had been so many years that it was no longer the voice of her cute child but the melodious voice of a woman.
Davis moved aside, looking at the two of them.
He knew they had a lot to catch up on and perhaps a fight to settle.
Both of them rushed at each other and abruptly embraced, tears flooding down their faces.
"Mother, I missed you so much~"
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Celestia. Mother missed you, too."
Celestia's soft arms trembled as she clung to Isabella, the warmth of her mother's embrace a sensation she thought she would never feel again. Years of worry, longing, resentment, and aching guilt melted into tears that soaked into her mother's golden robes.
