"Will!"
As soon as William stepped out of the flying carriage, Ian immediately gave him a hug.
Ian had been waiting for William's arrival ever since the red-headed boy told her that he would go to the Northern Regions to meet with the Demigod of the Kyrintor Mountains.
The journey took six days because the distance from the Ant Colony to the Northern edge of the Hellan Kingdom was quite far.
William had spent almost a week in the Ant Colony before traveling towards the Northern Regions. In the twelve days that they were apart, the two had kept in touch with each other. Ian was quite worried because during those twelve days, she hadn't been able to continue the recovery of William's Spiritual World.
Although the Half-Elf's Sea of Consciousness was recovering at a decent pace, Ian still wanted to speed up the healing by being there to act as medium. Also, it is the only place where she could face William in her true form.
