Chapter 20: columns
A tall woman with long blond hair and a black dress stood in a large room, two huge pillars on each side of her. Both pillars seemed to be made of ice and in each a male figure could be recognized. One had long dark hair, the other had short light colored hair. The woman looked at both figures.
"Time will come for you to reawaken, but since a part of each of you two is still waiting to awake fully, you shall sleep. Until then... rest my children." she said with a clear voice.
She turned around and saw two little girls standing behind her. One had long fiery red hair tied up in a ponytail, the other girl had short hair with bangs, and her hair was tied up in two tails. Both girls had their thumbs in their mouths. The blond woman walked towards them and looked at the shorthaired one for a moment intensively. The shorthaired girl took her thumb out of her mouth to hold the woman's hand. The woman fuzzed her hair.
"Soon you may return..." her voice was like a bird's singing.
Then she took the other girl by the hand and walked with them towards the door where she stopped. The blond woman indicated the shorthaired nodding to take the shovel on the wall. The girl reached with her tiny hand for it not letting go of the tall woman's hand. Then the three of them left the room.
