"Mina", she heard her voice! A voice that was as clear as a bell and as calm as the ocean.
She heard it again. "Mina, are you awake?", this time the voice was heard from somewhere near her. There was a divinity in the voice which Mina did not fail to notice.
Then she smelled the familiar fragrance, which she had come to love. The essence had the slightest hint of camphor mixed with lavender which brought a sense of relief to Mina. This presence alone could bring calmness to Mina.
Mina was quick to open her eyes and then she saw her standing near the bedpost and smiling angelically at her. Mina sat up and smiled at her beautiful guardian angel whom she fondlt called 'Nana'.
Nana was beautiful. It was not an exaggeration. She had a pure and ethereal quality to her appearance with flawless, unblemished skin and delicate, otherworldly features. Her waist length hair flowing and shimmering with light and her eyes filled with wisdom, compassion, and knowledge. She had an air of calm and serenity that radiated from her very being and for Mina, her presence was both comforting and awe-inspiring.
The dress she wore looked regal and screamed royalty. Exuding elegance, grace, and splendor. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, it captured the essence of royalty and refinement.
Nana wore what seemed like a white and gold gown with a long drape. The gown looked like it was made from the finest, luxurious materials, perhaps satin or silk, chosen for their smoothness and lustrous sheen. The fabric draped gracefully, accentuating her Nana's figure. The white and golden hue symbolized purity, sophistication, and a sense of untarnished majesty.
The gown's silhouette was tailored to perfection, bestowing a majestic aura. It featured a fitted bodice, accompanied by a sweeping skirt that cascaded down to the floor, pooling around her feet in a mesmerizing display. The gown also came with a long drape and a tail in a shimmery yet subtle golden grandeur.
Completing the ensemble was only one accessory - a diadem adorned with precious gemstones that glimmered like stars. Her hair let loose cascading in gentle waves, complementing the overall appearance.
But there was one most important thing to note about Nana's appearance.
*******************************************************************************************************
Her Nana was a ghostly presence who was both captivating and haunting. Her form, seemingly made of shimmering mist or translucent light, floated, and moved with a supernatural fluidity. Her features, though indistinct and ever-changing, emanated a sense of peace and tranquillity. Her presence was accompanied by a gentle, cool breeze with a lovely fragrance, as if it carried a touch of the spiritual realm.
This figure exuded a delicate radiance, casting a soft, ethereal glow that illuminated the surroundings. Her translucent form allowed glimpses of the surrounding environment to pass through, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing effect.
Mina was never scared of her. She never saw Nana as an entity that could harm her. Instead, she experienced only warmth and love from this entity.
Mina knew Nana would appear today as today was a full moon day and Nana could sense Mina would be terrorized by the dream rather nightmare.
Mina was glad Nana was here. Mina kept gazing lovingly at Nana for a very long time when she was pondering all these and admiring Nana's grandeur like she did every time. She could never understand how someone who looked like that could be someone who would only appear to Mina and help and guide her through mundane and stupid life choices, and whatnot.
Noticing Mina gaze for a long time, her Nana spoke again, "Mina, will you continue to stare at me my dear child?", when Mina did not immediately answer, added in a joking tone, "Do you not know it is considered rude to stare at someone like this?".
Mina, smiled at her and answered her in an equally joking tone, "When someone looks like you, whoo-hoo! Who won't? It is not rude at all!" Mina answered shaking her head with a wink and then continued sighing, "Uff! Nana, thank you! I am so relieved to see you. I ask this again do you know why I dream of it every full moon day? It is making me go mad. I do not know what new power manifests within me this new moon day. I am actually worried."
