“The only journey is the one within.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
As they started their journey back to the kingdom, Aurora was shocked to find a devastated landscape. There were no sounds of birds chirping, running water or crackling fire lit by peasants. The kingdom she once knew was gone for good.
She remained silent most of their journey into the forest, until they arrived to a stream where Philip let Samson rest and drink some water, and he improvised a shelter to spend the night.
"How are you feeling?" he asked Aurora.
She waited for a moment, avoiding his eyes and looked down.
"I am still getting used to...being awake. I feel numbness in my arms and legs and..."
"Oh, don't worry," Philip interrupted. "It'll all get better as days go by." "We just have to be patient."
Philip looked at her, staring deep into her blue eyes. He searched for some kind of confirmation, a trace of hope. He wanted to believe in what she was saying.
Aurora stared at him too, whispering to herself that she should not fear. This was the man she had once loved. He had given up everything for her. He had waited her for five years and rescued her from the greatest evil.
As they stood there in silence, Aurora started to feel and to remember.
She loved him. The feeling had not changed, but...had she?
