As Kalli opened her eyes the white blur materialized into the form of Nuala.

"Welcome back, you've been asleep for days. The doctors were worried about when you would wake."

"Days?"

"Yes," she replied, smiling and taking Kalli's hand, "you've had many visitors, even Nuada has taken to late-night vigils over you. He has been very concerned."

She paused then spoke again, "Thank you. You took such a risk to bring us back. I will forever be grateful to you for what you have given me. My love for Abraham grows stronger every day I am with him, and I know it will continue to do so. I hope that some day my brother too will know the same."

She let go of Kalli's hand, and instead started to straighten her gown, looking down, "He knows who you are. He knows you are Kallistrate Tisiphone."

"How?! Wait a minute, if he knows who I am then that means he is the elf I fell in love with while I was seeking sanctuary with your people."

"Yes." Nuala said softly.
