My Bravery had been rewarded. I felt a rush of relief and shock as Luthien embraced me, I returned the embrace and sighed internally. Then she told me that she too knew what it was like to have your family taken from you by the darkness. I sympathized with her on that and felt a great weight removed from my shoulders.
"And today I almost discovered what it was like to lose someone that I deeply care about." She was looking me in the eye when she said that. but i greatly curbed my reaction. Rather than say anything in brought her into an embrace.
