anarchist_queen20 years is not long at all for an elf. When you measure your lifespan in centuries your perspective is likely to be somewhat different than that of humans. But Leda had lived among humans so long, that she shared their perspective of time.
Therefore she felt the two decades that the Realm was cut off from other worlds quite keenly.
She had taken comfort in her marriage to Polaris for a while, but when that had ended, she had spiraled downward radically. Fortunately Sila, whom she had legally adopted, and the rest of her loved ones were able to bring her back up again.
She had chosen to live permanently at her Family's estate, but had a gate created so she could travel quickly to Alfheim if needed. She was still the Queen after all. She offset these onerous duties with joyful ones, turning the estate into an orphanage.
These days the kids called her Mama Leda, or sometimes just Mama L. Her Grandmother was known as Lady to them.

Elves age at the same rate as Humans for the first two decades of their lives. But when they reach their late teens/early twenties, they undergo a kind of second puberty, in which their aging process slows significantly.
Sila was still a very young Elf, and most Elves treated her as such. Though by humans standards she was an adult. It was not unusual however for the youngsters of the Realm to go off on adventures when their second puberty hit, and she and Ron were no exceptions.
They had been away, making their living as abards (Iranon had told her she was a natural at bardic magic) for a little over a year. But with the news they had recently received, they'd hurried back to Danan House to return Leda's mirror.
It was the only one that had the contact info for Leda's old friends you see.
