(Azaria 'Ziya' Point of View)
By the time we got home, I was exhausted. The journey back had started early, and the weight of the past few days settled heavily on my shoulders. My body ached with fatigue, and my mind was still reeling from the whirlwind of events. The banquet, the ceremony, and the weight of my new responsibilities were all beginning to sink in.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by an unexpected sight. A "Welcome Home" banner hung across the living room, bright and colorful, with balloons scattered around the room. My heart swelled as I took in the cheerful decorations, but it was the sight of Caspian running toward me that truly melted my fatigue away.
"MOMMY! I missed you!" he shouted, his little legs pumping as fast as they could carry him.
