Elliot and Lori both lay comfortably next to their mother. Lori talked about many things from her school days and her adventures when she learned to ride a horse. Hearing all of Lori's experiences that sounded so exciting made Elliot want to try horse riding.
While living in Etros, the fake Loraine never taught him to ride a horse or took him off the island. It seemed that Loraine didn't want him to be an intelligent kid so as not to compete with her for the highest position in Di Sha.
Elliot didn't mind either since he knew nothing about the world outside the island. Now, he lived with his real family; he could learn and do whatever he wanted.
It wasn't long before Lori felt her eyelids get heavy since she couldn't sleep all night thinking about when her parents would be back. And when her mother stroked the top of her head gently, Lori was increasingly unable to hold back her drowsiness and fell asleep without realizing it.
