In this chapter I might make you cry. No flame please.
Rin was in a flower meadow. She could smell the lovely aromas of the wildflowers. She bent down to pick a golden one. She stopped though when she saw the whole field changed into that flower.
"What type of flower are you?" Rin asked the flower that she was crouching close to. Her instinct was to go get her lord but decided against it. After all, it was only flowers. Rin looked at the yellow flower for quiet sometime before she heard a long lost voice.
"Those are marigolds my little Rin." Rin turned around so quickly she stumbled getting up. What she saw was a lady with a blue kimono and her hair fanned out like a ravens wings preparing for flight.
"Mother?" Rin whispered to the lady. The lady nodded with a smile. She walked to Rin as though she was the wind, swift and gentle. Rin looked up at her mother with tears at the corners of her eyes, ready to burst at any moment. Her mother lifted Rin's chin so she could see her face. She brushed the tear the passed the little girls cheek with a gentle wave.
"Your lord is nice to you?" Rin nodded to her, not finding herself able to speak. Her mother sighed in contempt. "I am glad. You look so strong now Rin. I bet you could even beat your brother in a foot race now." Her mother gave of a soft chuckle after that. Rin smiled up at her mother. She wished that she could say everything that has happened to her. Share her stories of her lord and about them looking for the evil Naruko.
"Mother," Rin started to say. Her mother held up her hand. She looked into Rins eyes with knowing. Rin smiled and embraced her mother in a loving hug. She smelled not only the flowers but her mothers calming sent. Her mother looked down at Rin. Tears in her eyes now for soon…
"I love you my little one." Rin looked up at her mother. She felt her tears on her cheek. Rin had tears in her eyes and allowed a trickle to leave them. She could feel her mothers' warmth leaving. Rin looked up into her mothers' eyes one last time.
"I love you mother. I will forever." Rin said trying not to let out a sob. Her mothers' body was leaving. The last thing she saw of her mother was her face. Tears streaming down her mothers' cheeks, but having a smile on her face anyway. Her mother's last words to Rin were soft.
"So will I daughter." The voice told the tearful child. Rin looked down at the marigold. She then turned around and saw that she was back in the flower meadow. She saw her lord standing on a hill looking down at her. Rin smiled and wiped her face. She ran to her lord and with a smile still planted on her lips they left the meadow. Rin only took one glance back and saw the marigold out of all the other flowers.
