Blaze and I decided to stay for a few days, to see how much my mother had improved from her disease. Oddly, whatever magic we possessed that combined to one and other.. it might have just.. saved her life.
There were zero signs of The Rising in her system but she was still very weak. My father refuses to be apart from her during this.. which really warms my heart.
Today, the weather was insanely beautiful, like the elements knew it was my last day with my family. A perfect ending to my reunion with them.
My chest felt full and deeply happy as I gazed into the Garden; my mother was lying across my father's lap, lounging in the sun. My father was stroking her beautifully long and loose hair ever so sweetly. They were smiling and laughing about something.
