It's got to be the crystal we are looking for, Gnaeus. Look how perfectly shaped it is!" I said excitedly and handed it to Gnaeus.

"It's so small though. I would have thought something so important would have been grander", Gnaeus mused as he felt the warmth of the crystal in his hand.

"Darling, you have always lectured me about the fact that size doesnt matter", I reminded him.

"Well surely it does in this case...dont you agree?" Gnaeus couldnt hide the disappointment in his tone.

"Darling, dont worry...we have overcome size problems before. This wont be any different. We will work with what we have been given as we always have...agree?" I patted his back encouragingly.

"Yes, dear. Aura, the crystal seems to be gettiing warmer...and look...it's glowing!" Gnaeus exclaimed as he handed it back to Aura.

"You're right! Gnaeus...look! It's getting bigger too!" I almost shouted in awe.

"You do have a way with small things, Aura", Gnaeus chuckled.

"That is because I am pure of heart", I smiled.
