Anna gazed at the house that she and the one she loved had to leave this night. She held her three year old child in her arms. Her gaze travelled to the stars, and she began to sing a soft prayer.
"I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go. And help us to be wise, In times when we don't know. Let this be our prayer, as we go our way... Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, To a place where we'll be safe."
On the other side of the little house, unknown to Anna, was Kratos. He stared up at the house as well. Closing his eyes, his soft voice slipped into the language of the Angels in a prayer to keep his family safe.
"I pray we'll find your light,"
"Nel cuore restero,"
"And hold it in our hearts."
"A ricordarchi che,"
"When stars go out each night,"
Anna stopped singing for a moment, stunned. In the sky above them, rainbow lights shone. She gasped as they danced in the air, lighting up the night with indescribable colours. Kratos watched it as well. Even he, who had seen so much, was stunned by its beauty. He heard Anna's voice rise in a beautiful string of notes, a voice he'd never thought she could use. He smiled, and sang as well.
"Nella mia preghiera,"
"Let this be our prayer,"
"Quanta fede c'e,"
"When shadows fill our day,"
Kratos changed to the language Anna sang in, and the two harmonised perfectly, their voices a reflection of their hearts.
"Lead us to a place, Guide us with your grace, Give us faith so we'll be safe!"
Kratos had taught Anna some of the language he had spoken and read for so long, and now, they sang together on his terms.
"Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita."
Their voices separated into their languages, singing to each other more than anything else.
"La forza che ci dai,"
"We ask that life be kind,"
"E'il desiderio che,"
"And watch us from above!"
"Ognuno trovi amore,"
"We hope each soul will find"
"Intorno e dentro a se,"
"Another soul to love!"
"Let this be our prayer,"
"Let this be our prayer,"
"Just like every child,"
"Just like every child,"
And they sang together again, hope in their hearts, and filled with love for each other. They were happy.
"Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace,
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera."
