Night had fallen over Yul'thera and Lady Thalyra had arrived back into the Kingdom with her escorts.
She dismounted from her horse while stretching her shoulders after the long ride from Dragonhold.
Her daughters, Veyra and Tianara, followed close behind and did the same.
High Priestess Selara approached at once, bowing her head in respect, before gesturing toward the palace.
Thalyra motioned for her daughters and escorts to go on ahead, then fell into step beside Selara as they walked through the corridors toward her private chambers.
Once inside with the door closed behind them, Selara wasted no time. "My lady, we have guests," she said simply.
Thalyra raised an eyebrow and removed her traveling cloak, hanging it over the back of a chair.
"Guests?" she repeated.
It was a word she rarely heard.
"Aiden Crowley," Selara replied. "Along with two women, his companions."
Thalyra paused for a moment. Hearing that name right now didn't make sense.
