Epilouge:
That was the last time Celeste ever saw her father. She once heard that he and Elrin fled to the village Cedric grew up at and both remarried. A young blonde girl from that village who bore a striking resemblance to Celeste confirmed her suspicions that her father had children again.
Palar and Elyon also had a child, finally: A girl with blue eyes and dark hair that they named Ella after Elrin. Connor and Celeste, however, had about 10 children: Caleb, Cayleigh, Rose, Opal, Jarek, Elrin the second, Elyon, Palar, and Terin. The last child Celeste had showed her forgiveness for her father: Cedric.
Celeste once said that she couldn't understand why her father was so against her marrying Connor, and that she wished they hadn't ran away so quickly. But she also said that she didn't regret anything she had done, and said so in a letter she sent to Elrin.
They responded only once, to tell her that they had disowned her.
The children met their grandfather 3 years later.
And time goes on, endlessly, toying with our lives in ways we can never understand: But sometimes if we are brave, we survive.
