"I have come to see with eyes unclouded by hate." Ashitaka, Mononoke Hime.

What does it take to be a woman as apposed to a girl? Vast knowledge? Great beauty? A heart of gold? All of these? Freya Crocket had graduated boarding school long ago and was now a doctor. This did not satisfy her, for she was missing two very important things, she'd been away from home to long to remember what. She was sure the feeling would pass.

Freya had been longing to be whole forever. She'd fallen into depression and though she tried to deny it, she was lonely. She hated the gnawing empty feeling in her stomach, but she'd never get rid of it, not till she found what she'd lost.

"Is something wrong, Freya?"

"No, Aira, I'm fine."

Aira Crocket was Freya's younger sister, Aira was sure of what she was missing, her brother, Roan, and her sister, Clover.
"I guess it's impossible to control fate..to manipulate the flow of time..to stop death..even a budding beauty such as our youngest sister will eventually wilt and die..that's just the way life is..eternity is not something that can be attained. The dead cannot live again..perhaps in a spiritual manner, but certainly not on this plain."
"Gosh, that's pretty, Freya, what's it all mean?"

"The poor people..death is their salvation."-Selene, Grandia2
