"Thus Kindly..."
Snow danced around the hooded girl as she stood facing the edge of the cliff. Slowly, she pulled down her hood, dark hair being left bare and vunerable to the falling snow. A sad smile graced her pale features as she slowly sat in front of the snow covered grave. It'd been a while since she was here, something Ruby wasn't very proud of as she'd missed her mother dearly but, her life had been hectic.
"Guess what Mom, I'm finally going on a mission with Yang. We've never actually partnered up before so I wonder how it'll turn out..."
Silver eyes flicked between watching the dancing snow that fell around the grave and, the distance that was shrouded in clouds and darkness. Ruby continued to talk, telling the dearly departed about her life, recalling recent missions: the clashing of swords, the firing of arrows, the spilling of blood and the people she had helped. The teen knew her Mother would be proud; kicking butt and helping people, it was Summers' style too.
"Dad's back in Patch, holding down the fort with Uncle Crow- He wanted me to say "Hi" by the way! Yang's doing well- like really well but I'll let her tell you about that when she next visits. Zwei misses you too- I would've brought him with me but, he'd just start digging the bulbs up..."
Ruby smiled, a hint of sorrow showing through as she thought about the black and white corgi, sitting at home in front of the fire, whining for the return of his masters. She felt a little bad for the dog, thinking that it was time to head back. The red cloak flowing as she stood, the white specks fell off the fine material. Pale fingers dusted off the snow from the grave, revealing the Burning Rose symbol.
"I'll see you later Mom..."
With a burst of red, Ruby was gone from sight; red petals drifted through the air, gathering around the grave, forming a small rose on the floor right next to the grave. Behind the grave, there was a cloaked figure, draped in White, smiling.
"I Scatter..."
