Title: beyond wings
As far as the eye can see the great expanse of the barren land was filled with ruins that are barely noticeable above the growing foliage. A great monument still lay on the center of what has been a dais depicting an angel with its wings closed, a very demure smile present on its stony features. The dais itself was filled with moss but the towering figure above not only it lacks the moss but the cracks that should have been present with the passage of time.
A soft echoing sound of ripples and soft sigh can be heard before a cool voice out of nowhere said. "I shall wait the day, Sakura-hime." Bright light covered the entirety of the monument and the stony features faded and what remains where the monument should have been was the angel that it was representing. The angel slowly opened his emerald orbs to gaze at the now barren field that was once his home. A sad smile appeared on his serene face while noting to himself that he hasn't changed a bit. His silk robes still clung to him in various layers of royal blue while his white hair reached the small of his back like it used to. Eager to find out if nothing was amiss, he raised his head in a commanding air and soared up into the sky leaving only a lone feather in his wake.

Yue's POV
A three-year old girl with emerald eyes broadly smiled up at me as we walk hand in hand towards her bedroom, her smile never once fading as I lifted her up slightly to assist her to bed. "Ne, Yue – neesan we had a super fun day!" the girl said emphasizing the word super, her emerald eyes alight with a bright gleam. Stroking her bright pink locks away from her elfin face, I brought up my other hand to steady her fearing that she will somewhat fall out of the bed. "Rest now Yuki, we will have another fun day tomorrow, I promise." I said soothingly as to hope that it will soothe her senses and calm her down to bed. Recalling the day that we had of picking flowers, visiting favourite spots on the shinobi countries or playing with all the 9 animal guardians was a bit tiring if one would have to do it every day, but looking at my sister's face alight with excitement every time makes up a great deal for being tired at the end of the day. Chuckling a little we lied down on the bed together and pulling the comforter up to cover us both. Yuki fell asleep just after her small body hit the mattress and I was left to examine our hands that she linked before falling asleep minutes later unaware that after tomorrow I would not see my sister for a long time.
