It took a couple more minutes of walking but soon we were nearing the familiar landscape that brought back a mix of emotions. A couple happy memories that were followed by annoying memories of a certain golden arrogant dickwad.
As we neared I saw mother in her garden. She was smaller than I remember but ofcourse back then everything was a bit bigger than me. I smiled and increased my pace towards her.
"MOTHER! I'M BACK!" I yelled towards her, she looked up at me with a look of confusion before her eyes turned to look at Gaia and her face lit up with a smile as she rose up and came over to hug Gaia.
"Oh Gaia, my baby how are you? Wait... You smell different? Like your essence itself is tainted? What happened to you, and who is this that you brought with you?"
"Mother...." Gaia looked with pity towards me and I simply shook my head. I didn't think that my own mother wouldn't be able to recognize me but it seems I've changed quite a bit since then.
