When You Leave
Ta Min felt the tears begin to start, and not because of the ash and deadly gas that had begun to cover the ocean.
The second volcano had just gone off, and she had felt her heart stutter and shake with the island. She kept her head high and still-sharp eyes trained, in search to see Fang; she had only seen that blue dragon for a moment before he was gone.
And if Fang wasn't around anymore, that would only mean that he'd kept down with her fallen Roku, and that he had failed.
She leaned down and felt herself begin to give huge, dry sobs, but the tears were still dry. She felt her two sons put their hands on her back in comfort, but she didn't acknowledge the warmth.
Years passed, and even as she lived her days out on Ember Island, watching the ocean push and pull and lull the beach world around her, she felt a longing a simple paradise island couldn't offer. Her sons would come and visit with their beautiful brides and she would revel in her grand-children, and wish that he could see their young smiles and light giggles.
Ta Min now sits on the beach, and knows that they had had a fair amount of time; but she is greedy and doesn't think it's enough.
She wants lifetimes with Roku.
All the time on the sand left her time to think, and she realizes that if his soul is able to be reincarnated, then so could hers.
She would meet him in the Spirit World and past that; in her next lifetime.
