When Dante returned to Cretea and reunited with Elise, he felt all of his worries fall away as he saw the beautiful woman waiting patiently in one of the temples there.
Compared to any other woman, he found Elise enchanting and her kindness was truly all-encompassing. Nobody in their right mind would have freed a caged ugly bird back in the past, but Elise did.
In return for everything that Elise ever did to him, Dante swore to make her life better. The Time Master had already rid of the man who caused Elise so much intense pain, Loriel was gone for good.
Dante was determined to treat her better than that awful man.
Elise smiled lightly and saw her friend. She stood up from one of the couches and looked anxiously at him. "Dante, welcome back to Cretea. How did it go? I know I'm asking so much from you, but how did my father and grandmother take the news?"
