Lia (Namine & Kairi's Mother) POV
Fire was the main attraction the night we stopped in Twilight Town. Hayner, our best fire eater, had already taken his place in the middle of a ring of viewers.
He placed two long, thick sticks in front of him and sprinkled a bit of gasoline over the two ends secretively, whispering in the Olde Tongue to make it seem like he was coaxing the flame to life. Out of each sleeve, and hidden by the palm of his hand was a match, which he skillfully struck against the wood of each of the sticks, making them burst to flames.
My daughters, Namine and Kairi, laughed at the audience's wonder as their cousin began to dance with the fire.
Fire brought joy to many.
But this night, it also bred sorrow.
"Look, Nami! Aerith's begun the dance!" I heard Kairi cry over the audience's shouts. Sure enough, Aerith, the best dancer, had slipped in the circle with Hayner, and now the two were circling each other, Aerith smiling coyly, and Hayner trying to keep an eye on his fire while completing the complicated dance.
Aerith moved in close to him, and then darted away again. He threw his torch around him in a circle, inviting her to dare to dance with it. He threw one torch to a young fire apprentice, Pence, and kept the other making intricate passes around he and Aerith's bodies as they danced.
The audience was completely silent as they stared wonderingly at the pair.
I removed my eyes from the dancers and looked at my daughters, who were now dancing with the two young men who were their most promising suitors. Kairi laughed with delight as Tidus lifted her off the ground by her waist and spun her around. Namine was dancing shyly with Riku, her cheeks as red as the summer rose.
"My love! Will you not join the dancing?" I turned to see my husband, Andrei, smiling with his arms wide. He pulled me to my feet and straightened my head scarf. "My love," he whispered, "Be happy on this night." And he pulled me to the group of our dancing kinfolk.
Our last happy night.
Ehh… too dramatic? I think it was... but then again that's Lia's personality. She's a fortune teller and very, very, dramatic. But… otherwise? Good? Huh? Tell me? Okay please REVIEW! Thanks much!
