Treasuring Memories
It's your child's birthday you know you should be there, you want to be there, but you can't. You have been gone for a long time now watching both of your children from above.
You have a son, you are so proud of him as you watch him develop into a magnificent person, he has become quiet skilled with a blade but still uses other means of fighting. He misses you, he tries to be strong but you see it in him, and you can't help but miss him too.
Then there's you daughter, she has been so strong through everything, she misses you, you know she does. She has a good heart inside of her you can only hope that she uses it well. Because you won't be there to make sure she does, to make sure he contains he temper, to keep them safe, to watch them grow, you won't be there for them on their birthdays.
You look down upon them now, today is your daughters one special day, if only she had someone to share it with. Her father has been gone for so long now, caught up in the war. Your son has been blinded, when he was younger he had always promised to protect her, to be there for her, but lately his own pain has been enough to mask the hardships of those around him. You wish you were there to set him straight, to love him, to love them both. You can barely look back down among the world you once lived in, you know they are both crying.
Seeing them in pain hurts you too. Your daughter wishes you were here to live by her, but she knows you never will be, your son needs you right now, he has never been so confused in his life, but you stand here helplessly.
Your children miss you along with their father, he hasn't been around lately to be a father. You know they need him you know that he matters you only wish you could be there to tell him, make him the person you fell for, not the man caught up in his own battles and the battles fought by others. You can only wish to be with them, all of them.
You glance back down again at your former life, knowing the pain it will cause but you can't bear to look away.
Your daughter is in tears, surrounding by silence, she needs you, and although you don't know it maybe you need her too?
Looking back all memories there is nothing you regret, but when taking a deeper look you can only imagine how things could have gone differently. If you had been different, made a better decision, done something.
But then you look back at you children. You smile, realizing that whatever you did you can't take back now, if something happened differently they could have never existed. Your heart throbs at the thought, you went in place of dying for your baby, and for that you would never change anything. Things have worked out and your babies are beautiful, they need you in their lives. You wish that you could go and visit them, but you can't help that you can only wait until they day they come to visit you, but you will do all in your power to prolong that day as long as possible.
Your babies need you and you know that, you whisper to them, laugh with them, but you miss them far too much. You spend all day watching over them protecting them because no one else will. You can't do much, for you are dead, but you will never stop trying. They are yours and no one for forever in time can take that away from you.
Could be taken as either Ursa or Kya, you make the call. I really wish the series went back into the past of these characters in particular, they fascinate me I really don't know why. But whatever hope you enjoyed! Avatar the last Airbender belongs to Micheal and Brian not me.
