140 To be strong-hearted

Alora closed her journal after writing her day's feelings in that. She felt contended because everything fell back to its right place. As the evening's sun set down and the birds went back to their homes, Alora looked up at the sky. Leaving the journal on the swing, she went toward the balustrade and closed her eyes, feeling the brush of the gentle breeze on her face. 

"Thank you for giving me this joy," Alora prayed to God. She opened her eyes to see the patches of clouds in the sky, which mostly had covered it. 

"Will it rain tomorrow?" Alora murmured. "I should give a present to Magnus. But what should I give him?" she thought. She wanted her gift to be unique and special. 

"Princess Alora, you are here! I was looking for you in the chamber," Selvina said as she entered the balcony. 

"What happened?" Alora turned around to face her. 

"The Queen wants to see you," Selvina informed her. 

"Now?" Alora's eyes grew bigger.
