Prologue (Part 4)
An Unexpected Reunion

She had no idea how much time had passed, minutes, hours? There was absolutely nothing to help her... But really, there was absolutely nothing anyway. Mars couldn't see anything anywhere, everyway she turned to look, all she could see was black. Even when she waved her hand around in front of her face, still saw couldn't see anything. 'Where am I?'. Her mind was a blur, she had vague memories of what happened. 'Am I dead? Is this what death is really like?'

She continued walking, how long it took, she had no idea, but after a time she finally saw a light. Walking closer to it, quite to her surprise, she saw a figure, standing there, facing what look like some kind of door but to what, she didn't know.

As she neared the figure turned around, and Mars had to stop at who she saw in front of her. A beautiful woman, just about a head taller than herself, with sleek, long black hair. With deep purple eyes which made her think that she was looking into a mirror at first.

"M...mother?" She couldn't believe it, it had been so many years, 'how is this possible?' Without really thinking, she threw herself into the arms of her mother.

"Yes honey, it's me" Mars' mother wrapped her arms around her daughter and gave her a tight hug. "I was beginning to wonder if you would ever come".

With tears in her eyes, Mars looked up at her mother. "You knew I was coming?"

"Yes, but that is not a story for now."

"But..."

"We don't have much time" Mars stepped back out of her mothers embrace, a look of confusion on her face. "You decide how to live your life, but as time has passed while I waited for you to come, I have seen many pass through this door" She waved her arm at the door behind, and with a small sigh she continued "Those who pass with most regret are the ones who never gave themselves a chance at love, they pass knowing that they will never know if they could have truly been happy" Placing her hand on her daughters cheek, she looked into those eyes which almost reflected her perfectly. "I was given a choice" Taking a step back she put her hand out into front of her, palm facing up, and slowly a ball of light appeared to float right above. "I could have a second chance at life, or I could give you a second chance at life and love"

"Mum... no... you can't..."

"Yes I can, this is my decision and mine alone, and I choose you, don't make the mistake of never taking a chance, even if it seems to be a one in a million, or even billion shot, take the chance, because you don't want to go through this door with never knowing."

The light suddenly began to shine brighter. Rei tried to reach out for her mother but she seemed just out of reach. "Live your life as I could not, I love you my darling, and I always will" The light seemed to get brighter and brighter and just as Mars tips of her hands found her mothers, it disappeared leaving her in darkness once again.
