A Mother's Last Gift
The End Starts The Beginning
Death came to all, even immortals. It was how life was and made to be, yet many refused to acknowledge it. Mother Earth wasn't one of those few. The powerful being sighed as she felt her life force slip away, telling her that soon she would be joining others before her, this did not trouble her for she had no fears or regrets…except one.
Her son, the child that she bore, the one that she loved and the one the gods took away. How she wished to see him one last time, to hold before she left, this was a wish that was to be never granted.
"One so beautiful should not look so sad"
Earth smiled and looked at the other god that had appeared; "Even beauty has to cry brother" the god of the Moon smiled sadly before sitting next his sibling.
"You've come to say goodbye?"
"You are not yet gone"
"But I will be"
"Yes, you will be"
The two then fell into silence, listening to the gentle waves of the sea.
"You've come for something brother, what is it?" Earth then said, her golden eyes never looking away from the sea. Moon did not even hesitant.
"Your son"
"Brother—"
"Don't brother me; you and I both know that it has to be done"
"I know, but I wish not for my little one to see his mother on her death bed"
"But you wish to see him more than anything"
Earth nodded
"Then what is stopping you? Already he can feel you leaving and like all life connected to you feels sorrow, yet he doesn't know why"
"Heaven. The gods will surely disapprove and come after him; they may even prevent him from going through with the Ceremony"
Moon snorted, "When have you ever cared about the gods in Heaven? They are nothing but whiny, prejudge, power hungry wimps. Besides after what you did 500 hundred years ago, I don't think they'll want to get in your way" Earth smiled at the comment and it made her feel a bit better, but still…….
"If it'll make you feel any better, Kanzeon and father will be watching over him, and I'll be there to guide him. So please sister, call him, bring him home"
Earth looked at her brother; inside she fought with herself to make a decision.
"Alright"
**********
Soft.
The grass was so soft like a cloud, how he knew what a cloud felt like was something he didn't dwell on, he just knew. His bare feet carried him through the thick forest, the creatures of the forest bowed as he passed by, as did the elements that covered the earth. The stars above twinkled brightly, the moon shining like the sun, lighting his path.
He finally came to a clearing, a waterfall flowed into the pond, fireflies glowed everywhere giving everything an enchanting glow, and there in the middle of it all stood a woman. She was beautiful, and held herself of one with power and grace as she came towards him.
Warm, welcoming arms wrapped around him, and he sighed blissfully. A hand ran through his hair, smoothing.
"My son"
Her voice was so soft like the caress of a gentle breeze
"My darling little one"
Hands lifted his head, a lovely smile graced her lips.
"Come home"
"Mama?"
"Please come home"
The body jerked awake, wide eyes stared up at the ceiling, confused and slightly trouble. The sounds of his roommates snoring reached his ears, but he ignored it, instead he forced on his dream. It felt so real, and that women the one he called Mama, he knew her from somewhere a long time ago...he was sure it.
"Please come home"
Very sure.
Well there you go, sorry its so short, it'll get longer I promise.
