Show me, please" Ayoko pleaded to Hera.
The goddess smiled as she rocked on the wooden chair.
"Ok, but you need to be quiet; she gets scared by loud noises"
Ayoko motioned her lips shut. The goddess stood up from the chair, a beautiful glowing light shone from around her body, before the sound of a bird called out from behind her.
"I heard it" the little girl giggled.
The beautiful blue headed animal peered its head around Hera's white glowing dress.
"Hello" Ayoko smiled.
The bird tilted its head as it examined the small human.
"Don't be shy, this is our friend Ayoko" Hera petted the top of the birds small head.
"Can I stroke it?" Ayoko asked.
"Of course you can, her name is Mystery"
"Hey there Mystery"
Ayoko offered her hand to the shy bird. Hera moved aside so Ayoko could see the full beauty of the peacock.
The beautiful, elegant bird slowly walked forward, its huge green feathered tail glided across the carpet of the bedroom. It paused for a moment as it looked into the child's dark brown eyes, before it bowed its head towards her.
Ayoko slid her hand across the soft, blue feathers.
"She's beautiful" the child was mesmerized by the creature.
"Ayoko, Lucy is here" Erza called out as she walked up the stairs to her daughter's room.
"Oh no, mums coming!"
Ayoko scrambled to her feet.
"Disappear" she demanded.
"It's alright for her to see us now, your much stronger" Hera smiled as the bird backed itself into her dress.
"No, this isn't the way I want her to see you, please go"
Ayoko ran to the door, holding it shut as her mum pushed down on the door handle.
"Go…"
"Is everything alright in there?" Erza questioned as she knocked the door.
"Yes mum" Ayoko brushed her hair back, as she opened the door with a smile across her face.
"Why were you holding the door shut?"
"Uhm…I was testing to see how strong I was" she lied.
Erza looked at her daughter questionably, Ayoko smiled widely, like she had a secret to hide.
"Lucy is downstairs, come and say hello"
"Is it alright for her to come up here, I want to show her something…" Ayoko began to fiddle with her pale yellow netted dress.
"What do you need to show her?" Erza questioned.
"Oh, just….I need to ask her something"
"Why don't you ask me" Erza leaned down onto her knees so she was level with her daughter.
Ayoko looked over to the chair where Hear had been sitting, could she tell her mum now? Was she strong enough for her mother to believe in her dream? Is one god enough to convince her parents she's not their little girl anymore, but a wizard.
"Ayoko" Erza pulled her daughter back from her thoughts.
The little girl looked up to her mother with her wide, dark brown eyes. Erza took her daughters tiny hand.
"If there is something you want to tell me sweetheart, please share it"
Ayoko looked to her mother, her smile warm, and her touch gentle. Maybe she would believe in her dream. The young girl took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"I have a god" Ayoko whispered, her eyes still closed, she didn't want to see her mother's reaction.
"You have a god?" her mother questioned.
Ayoko nodded her head slowly in response to the question; Erza paused for a moment as she tried to understand what her daughter was telling her.
"You mean you have spirits like Lucy?"
Ayoko opened her eyes, her mother still held her hand.
"No mum, I have a god her name is Hera she is the Greek goddess of marriage"
Erza looked at the child blankly, how could she possess a god without keys?
"Gods are my magic mum, Hera was the one who use to watch over me when I was a little baby, my magic called her to me"
"You can call Greek gods?" Erza placed her hand over her mouth.
"Well I only have one at the minute but Hera said I have to find three more and then…and then I…." Ayoko paused, unsure whether to carry on.
"And then"
"And then…I want to compete in the Kingdom Hall challenges"
"Kingdom Hall? You want to be a famous wizard?"
"Yes….its…..it's my dream"
"Your only four, how can you know what your dream is?"
"I'm almost five mummy! And I know, because that's what my heart tells me, please let me follow my dream" Ayoko looked up; small pools of tears began forming in her tiny eyes.
"I would never stop you from following anything you believed in, me and your dad will support you all the way darling"
"Really?"
"I promise" Erza smiled.
The tears in Ayoko's eyes rushed down in there hundreds, covering her cheeks and dampening the collar of her dress. Erza wrapped her arms around her daughter; tears trickled down her cheek to. The pair sat together in the quiet room, just them two, together, finally Ayoko had opened up to her mother and now the path to her dream could truly start.
