This concerned the Elder more than anything, because it meant she understood less than he did, and he didn't understand much about the sword ether, just that the Djin said the crystal would quell the hunger for a while. The gift was a necklace she could wear under her clothing and supposedly would help with the swords hunger for a time, but neither the Djin or any of the villagers understood how or why the crystal worked, or how long it would last. Plus if she chose not to wear it it wouldn't matter much.<br/><br/>"Alright, Aurora. I wish you well on your journey and I'll see you in the morning, not as big as the celebration tonight, but the families of your companions and the Elders will see you all off."<br/><br/>Elder stood up and let his chair sink back into the earth as he turned to her with a smile.<br/><br/>"Remember, we care about you, you always have a home with us. I know it's sappy and lame but if you ever need to come home, we can be that home your looking for."<br/><br/>With that he started walking away before she could even say anything to that last comment.
