 I looked at the last remaining five as they crowded around the dying doe. I sighed and stood still, listening to the deer's whispering voice, my pearls starting to glitter with liquid. Her question caught me by surprise. "What does it mean to love, as a mother to a child?" I started to just give up, for I had never had a child of my very own, except for Harmony. But I hadn't been there when she had stretched her tiny legs for the first time, I had only met her that day in the Threshold, when I found her hiding in the bushes. Though, I had loved her like I had held her those nine months in my stomach and had forced against the pain to bring a new life into the world. So I guess I knew how it was, to love a child until the last breath, to know how amazing it felt to know that someone looked up to you for warmth and advise. It was love. All that time, that's what I had felt for her. What my mother had felt for me. And I had never known what that feeling inside of me was when I gazed into her crystal blue eyes, but now I do, now I know exactly what it was. It had taunted me for the last few years of being with Harmony, but now I was relieved, and I couldn't be any happier. Now I didn't have to worry anymore. "Love is something that is an invisible line, it's unbreakable." I looked to the sky through the branches of many trees, gazing at the stars and the moon, and then my eyes seemed to jerk with a thoughts. "Love is like the galaxy. Gravity pulls it all together, like love, keeping it all attached together. The sun is the creator, and then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are all the children, keeping close to their creator's grip. They are a family, and nothing can come between them. Love is terrible in ways too. Though, it always comes back. You will always get mad, but never enough to break that invisible line of love." I smiled at the doe with gentle eyes, my voice soft with concern for the egg. "And that's how I feel with this egg, your precious baby." I backed away a few steps, making sure not to suffocate the poor creature as the others were. I glared at them all, but as I turned to the doe again, it was all a sudden frown. My gaze saddened, now knowing that her fire was dying down, and she would go, turning to clay, giving the Earth back what had walked the Earth for many years. She would return her fire, giving the Earth back it's life, and a fresh green patch of grass would grown in the spot as a gift in return. She would shed her egg and give the child who whom she thought had deserved it most. And for the hard work the lucky one had finished, would be rewarded the friend of their life. One who would be there for them when no one else was, one who would die with them on their very day. Someone who would be trustworthy of so many secrets. I kept thinking, maybe she would pick me. But then again, did I really deserve such a thing? I mean, for what I had done lately in the past few days, did I even deserve such a precious creature? All I could hope for is that the doe would trust me enough, but I couldn't rely on it. One of the others would do it, I'm sure. Artemis, was the only one I knew from the batch, but the rest also had good explanations, unlike mine. But for some reason, I had this strong hope inside of me, that I had a certain chance at winning over the doe. |
