Amber sadness

AN/ just to let all you peoples, this fic is from the movie's point of Escaflowne. I've only seen part of it so, bear with me.

"Cereya, Where are you?" Hitomi called out.
Cereya's laughter rang out through the trees around her.
Hitomi, knowing her son's antics, sat down to wait him out.
These last six years have gone by so fast. She thought, looking up into the cloudless sky at the Mystic Moon. I have to go back soon, but Cereya.
Just then Cereya appeared, laughing, on his father's shoulders.
"You sure showed that dragon dad! Man! That was awesome!!" He practically shouted.
"Cereya, that's enough." Van reprimanded.
Van put him down and went back into the forest. "Go to your mother!!" he called over his shoulder.
Cereya stalked over to Hitomi.

"Dumb girl." He muttered under his breath.
"What dumb girl?" Hitomi asked, confused, as Cereya sat down beside her.
Cereya just pointed to where Van was emerging from the trees, carrying something.
Hitomi's eyes widened. The little girl was half dead. Cuts and bruises were all over her body.
She rose.
"Van, what."
Van shushed her.
"Her parents were killed by a dragon. I just managed to save her before she was killed as well. I saw no other survivors."

"Are you alright?" Hitomi asked.
It was the night after the little girl had been rescued. She had just woken up.
"I. hurt all over." She replied.
Hitomi smiled. "That's to be expected after all you've been through."
She looked into the little girl's eyes. The little girl looked away.
"There are no survivors?"
Hitomi shook her head. "No survivors.
The girl looked up again. Hitomi's eyes widened slightly. The girl's eyes were amber, like the sun. And grief shone through all their brilliance.
But no tears came.
"Anaiya. Your name's Anaiya."
Anaiya smiled. "And you're Hitomi, the Wing Goddess."
For the first time, Hitomi saw what the girl saw. Burdened by a gift, unable to use it in a time of peril. A grief so strong it tore her heart.
She reached out and pulled the child into her arms.
Anaiya rested her head on Hitomi's shoulder and let herself be held.
"I'll be there for you," Hitomi whispered, "I'll be like a mother to you. I'll never leave you. And I'll banish all the amber sadness you feel from your heart."
