It was a sunny afternoon and a family is in their red automobile. There are smiles on the father's, mother's, and daughter's faces as they continue to drive through the free road.
The father was named Chris Armstrong, the mother was Monica Armstrong, and the daughter was Amy, well you get the idea. The Armstrongs were taking a trip to a land of fun and merriment. This was Joy Land, an amusement park that little Amy loved very much, they've gone there several times before, but today was special since it was Amy's birthday.
Amy Armstrong: Joy Land! Joy Land! We're happy to have you!
Joy Land! Joy Land! We hope you're happy too!
Joy Land! Joy Land! We hope you love your stay!
Joy Land! Joy Land! We'll make you say Hooray! (Amy sang cheerfully)
Chris Armstrong: She really does like Joy Land. A little too much if you ask me. (Chris said with a smile, while keeping his attention on the road)
Monica Armstrong: I think it's just the right amount. Don't you think so, Amy? (Monica asks Amy with a smile)
Amy Armstrong: I love Joy Land! (Amy yells cheerfully)
Monica Armstrong: Maybe you're right, Chris. But today's her B Day, so we have to take her to her favorite place. (Monica tells her husband)
Amy really did love Joy Land, but what she loved the most was spending time with her parents. They worked at the same company, and would always be busy with meetings and trips, often leaving Amy with the Nanny.
Amy knew her parents tried to be there for her, even if there were not around most of the time.
As their car continued to drive smoothly down the road, a truck was speeding up to them. The driver of the truck had lost control of his brakes, and looked horrified as he saw the family car he was about to crash into.
There was a terrible accident afterwards, and two people died. One was the truck driver, while the other was Monica Armstrong.
Amy had lost her mother that day, but she was still too young to truly understand the meaning of death, so her father told her what many parents did.
" Your mother is in a better place now, and she will always be watching over you"
Amy would often inquire about the meaning of these words, but her father never had the heart to explain further. Amy grew to think that her mother would never return, since the mention of her brought sadness unto others.
But then this craziness happened, Amy was returning from her neighborhood's place when she saw something in the sky. Then she woke up in a dark room, surrounded by strangers she'd never met, but who she grew to like, especially Penelope.
When Amy saw the power of the Favour from a god, which brought them anything they asked for, she knew what she wanted. But Amy also knew that there was a chance it wouldn't work, she had asked her father many times to see her mother, but he could bring her back from where she went.
But Null could, and he did. Monica finally came back from where she went, and Amy couldn't have been happier.
*******
Now everyone is sleeping in the dark room, there were no beds so the cold floor was all they could manage. Amy slept close to her mother, but then she starting tossing and turning, a sign that she was having a bad dream.
Monica noticed this and comforted Amy, stroking her hair until she finally seemed to relax.
Monica: You're safe now, sweety. Mommy won't let anything bad happen to you. (Monica whispered with a smile)
