"Uncle Oscar" Avira loudly called out with a voice filled with affection and repressed pain. After travelling for so long in secret, hiding from her brothers' eyes she'd finally found solace. The image of Duke Runak's tall muscular frame and his battle hardened appearance broke the dam that guarded her emotions.
The strong, brave young woman that faced off against the dreaded iceborne huntsman and endured the hunting of Bella and her frost giant subordinates instantly turned into a bawling child.
Wet tears streamed down her cheeks and her body visibly trembled greatly shocking the man sitting at the head of the table.
"Little V!" The war hardened Duke rose from his seat and dashed forward taking the trembling Avira in his arms.
"Wah wah uncle hic hic my mom and dad.." Avira completely broke down in his arms, revealing all the repressed pain that she'd hidden so well from Frost and Borris.
