Virana stomped down the hallway of Fang. Her feet smashed on the tile floors with anger. Her tears stained her cheeks as she silently cried to herself.
The gold necklace in her fist became covered in sweat. Virana sobbed silently and maintained her pounding headache. She absorbed the pain and immediately let it sink deeply into her soul.
Virana collapsed on the floor when she got in her bedroom.
She heard baby Namaari coo from her crib. Virana got up and greeted her daughter.
Tears streamed down her face as she held Namaari closely. She protectively cradled Namaari as she sobbed and screamed quietly.
Namaari soon became aware of her mother's agony. She stopped cooing and making strange noises.
"Don't worry my little morning mist." Virana whispered softly. "I'll protect you, my love."
************12 years later************
Virana was caressing her daughter's shoulders as prepared her for meeting with the other lands for the first time.
"Are you ready?" Virana asked.
Namaari nodded nervously as her mother put on her Sisu necklace.
"I'm ready." Namaari whispered.
Virana smiled and walked out of the room to ready the serlots.
*************************************
Namaari shot up from her bed, sweating and gasping for air. Her throat felt as if it let go of its hold on oxygen.
Why was she dreaming of her meet with the other lands?
It was so damn long ago.
Save yourself, Namaari.
A voice whispered in her head. Namaari, who wasn't afraid of much, feared this very moment.
Knowing that she would never see her Sisu necklace again and probably Raya herself, crushed her soul.
Unless, she could go find her.

(This part takes place 20 years after My Dep La)
Forza tightened her grip on the reigns of her Serlot's bridle. Her heart rate increased as she breathed quickly.
She sobbed as she clutched the reigns. Tears flew down her cheeks as she screamed loudly.
It couldn't be true. It couldn't. There was no way in hell her own daughter could be so sick and have her life on the line.
Once Forza arrived at the hospital of Fang, she rushed to her daughters numbered room.
Her wife, Aurian was in there, weeping and holding the hand of their two year old daughter.
Forza came in the room and cradled her wife and comforted her. Aurian sobbed in her wife's arms as she looked down at the limp child.
Forza couldn't bare to look at her daughter and the future chief, Farah. The position the infant was in, triggered something inside of her so badly. What was it?
Forza's mind wandered until she felt her body run cold and goosebumps cover her skin.
It reminded her of that day.
***************flashback*************
"Grandma!" Little Forza knocked on the door of her grandmother's room. "I forgot my toys."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Forza crept in the room. She walked around until she reached the other side of the bed. When turning to see the side of the bed that wasn't visible from the door, Forza felt her whole world collapse.
It... it was her grandmother. Virana... lying on the floor, knife clean through her skull. A dark, thick pool of blood surrounded her. The blood was fresh as well as her body. This wasn't a murder, it was suicide.
Forza screamed with high pitched fear.
She couldn't move. She just couldn't. Her body was paralyzed. She felt her insides become empty.
While physically flirting with each other, Namaari and Raya were interrupted by their daughters traumatic cry for help.
They felt their hearts sink as their anxiety went up. They rushed up to the bedroom as fast as they possible could.
"What's wrong, bab-" Raya cut herself off when she ran up to little Forza to see what she was crying about. Raya started silently breaking down and she covered Forza's eyes. "Nam...Namaari look." Raya couldn't bare to speak any more.
Namaari felt the hairs on her body stick up as she slowly looked around the bed. She nearly passed out when she saw her own mother's brain dead body lying on the floor.
"M-mom?" Namaari asked.
She approached the body slowly. Raya took Forza out of the bedroom and went to alert the guards.
"Mommy?" Namaari spoke once again, tears flew down her cheeks.
She couldn't bare to take it anymore. Why did her mother do this??
"Why?? Mommy!!! Why would you do that??? I need you!!" Namaari screamed as tears flew down her face.
She held her mother's hand and kissed it. There was nothing she could do now.
All three of them, scarred for life.
Forever.
***********end of flashback**********
Forza snapped back into reality and screamed. She started having a panic attack and anxiety covered her whole morale.
Aurian tried to help Forza, but Forza resisted and help and refused to see anyone for the next few days. Their daughter was still in the hospital right now, so both parents were still upset about that.
"She'll be ok babe." Aurian said to her wife.
"I just hope so. I'm praying to the dragons she will be ok."
