"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy."
As they got closer to the gates of the palace, Aurora asked Philip to put her down. She wanted to walk, or at least to give it a try. She took baby steps first, unsure of how her body would respond after five years of lying unconsciously.
'Samson!' screamed Aurora in tears. She recognised the horse that she had ridden years ago. In fact, that horse had been the reason of her meeting Philip. She hugged the horse and he seemed to recognise her as well. Samson leaned his head closer to her in what looked like a perfect picture to the blissful Prince.
'Let's go, we should be on our way to reach safe grounds before nightfall,' said the Prince.
Aurora hopped on the horse almost without help. It seemed she was getting her strength faster than Philip would have imagined. And so the Prince took a second to savour such perfect moment: her Princess awakened after all the sorrow and obstacles he had had to endure.
This was a time of joy.
