Gracier singing
Music in the background
Another long night without a bit of sleep. Elysia wouldn't stop crying. Gracier sighed and poured herself another large cup of coffee. Elysia was asleep now, but it was only a matter of time until she woke up crying asking for daddy. That was another problem, what was she going to do! Roy couldn't take care of them forever. She had to get a job but Gracier didn't know what she could do.
In the other room Elysia started to cry and Gracier got back up. Going into the living room she turned on some soft music in the background. Swiftly going to Elysia's room and picking up the small girl she carried her out to the living room. Sitting down in the rocking chair that occupied the corner near the bookshelf Gracier hummed along with the tune rocking her daughter back and forth.
"Ingonyama nengw' enamabala" It was a foreign tongue and Gracier found herself singing along with it.
"Night and the spirit of life calling mamela.
And a voice just the fear of a child answers mamela.
Ubu khosi bo khokho." (This is the throne of our ancestors)
Elysia stopped crying and clung to her mother listening to her sing. The smooth anc constant rocking of the chair made Elysia's eyes flutter shut and her head fall to rest on Gracier's bosom.
"We ndodana ye sizwe sonke" (Oh, son of the nation)
"Wait, there's no mountain too great.
Hear the words and have faith.
Have faith. He lives in you.
He lives in me. He watches over.
Everything we see.
Into the water. Into the truth. In your reflection. He lives in you.
"He lives in you. He lives in me.
He watches over. Everything we see.
Into the water. Into the truth. In your reflection.
He lives in you. He lives in you. He lives in you.
He lives in you. He lives in you. He lives in you.
"He lives in me.
He watches over. Everything we see.
Into the water. Into the truth.
In your reflection.
He lives in you. He lives in you.
He lives in me. He watches over.
Everything we see.
Into the water. Into the truth.
In your reflection. He lives in you"
By the time Gracier stopped singing Elysia was asleep, some of Gracier's shirt tucked tightly into Elysia's tiny hand. Closing her eyes and sighing Gracier let her head fall back on the chair and slowly drifted to sleep. She couldn't tell if it was her imagination or reality but she went a cold kiss skim her forehead.
Maes smiled sadly at his wife and child. "I'm sorry, I tried to get home but I couldn't. Please forgive me." Slowly he left floating through the roof where the ferry girl waited to bring him to the realms of the dead. Nodding his head in thanks he asked her for a request. "Watch over them for me?" Death didn't say anything.
They left flying through the air towards a rip of ever glowing light. Just before they went through Death turned to him and said, "You'll watch over them yourself, just give it time."
