"Aria!" She called out her name and the other woman smiled and a small figure popped out from behind the woman. "Riri!" Neriah nearly choked on the name.
"Oh My Lady!" The two of them moved forward and so did Neriah, enveloping them in a hug.
"Oh Aria! How are you here? Oh my gosh. I can't believe you're both here. I am so happy to see you. You have no idea how much I have missed you both. Oh Riri!" She hugged them so tight and they hugged her with the same gusto.
"Oh My Lady, I was so worried about you. When I heard you were captured and brought back, I feared for you. I thought that barbarian would hurt you as soon as you became his wife. Oh you have no idea how terrified I have been." Now that she mentioned him, Neriah could suddenly remember. He said he would send her a present. Was this it? Were they his present? What was he planning? Did he help her and bring them here with her? Why did he do that? What was he hoping to gain?
