Elanor smiled at Regalis comfortingly and sat by his side. ''So, we're both strangers on this city. I am sorry for you.'' she added, not much louder than a whisper. Then she thought of the few memories she had from her early childhood. All she could remember was mainly inside, a feeling of freedom and happiness, the feeling of being loved... and a locket.
''See this'' she said to Regalis as she reached for a silver chain around her neck and unclasped it. A
silver locketthat had been hidden by her clothing slipped to her hand, and she passed it to Regalis. ''I know... I am sure that my true parents are the ones who gave me this.'' she said, hiding the emotion on her voice.
''And I remember a forest. Bigger, brighter than this one. Linden tree and birch, walnut and hazel. And happiness. And love. No faces, no names. Then, there's a gap on my memory. Everything goes blank, starting around when I was five and only finishing around nine. That was when I started my Ranger training.''
