· o ·

The orange-red sky brightly shines with the sun that will soon disappear and night will come. The gentle breeze hits the abundant green leaves making a rustling sound. The animals around the forest making their way to their own habitats with foods they hunt for the day, and river that flows with a calming sound.

Silver sky blue hair flows with the breeze gently. A woman is sitting at the end of a cliff, feeling all those around her as she closed her eyes to appreciate its beauty and calming atmosphere, facing the sunset. She wears a long white loose dress that reaches until her ankles; she only has one ornament and that is the flower of white camellia on the side of her luscious hair. She has a very beautiful face, like a goddess.

Footsteps was heard not far away behind her and she slowly open her eyes.

"So you were here."

She turns her head to the person immediately noticing his white silver hair and only smiled. The white-haired man sighed and walk to her. He put the cloak he has on his hand all this time on her shoulder and she hold onto it. The cloak is white and have snowflakes on its bottom and at the end of its sleeves.

"You'll get a cold. I don't want him to nag me about that."

"It's comfortable here."

She said and look at the sunset in front of them. The man just stood behind her and look at her eyes and stomach.

"Are you sure?"

The woman smiled bitterly and put her a hand on her already big stomach, "A bright future is my only wish..." She said, her sapphire eyes looking at her stomach as she caresses it, "That's why, I'll do everything I can to make that future..." She smiled and look at him with gentle eyes,

"You'll help me too, right?"

"Of course. That's the only way I can thank you after all."

"Thank you..."

He sat beside her, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The woman looks at her stomach with adoration and caress it with a soft smile.

"I wish I could see that future."

"I'm sorry..."

"You don't to say that. It's my choice." She smiled and remembers a certain blond that she loves and adore, "I'm also happy to carry his child even It'll be the last." She closed her eyes.

"I have a request..."

He looks at her by the mention of his name to see her eyes in a distance. She stops caressing her stomach and rest her hand on top of it, feeling the child inside her, with hopeful eyes,

"Please help this child break the curse that I couldn't break... I want her to live happily and have a freedom..." 

"Shouldn't you tell that to your student. After all, I can't do anything about that and he is in your prophecy."

She closed her eyes, "He's still an immature child and cold... but I'm sure he will learn when the time comes... I already told him everything and I'm certain that he will take part on all of it."

"It feels like you could see the future by the way you are talking."

"You think so? I also don't know; I only follow the prophecy that I dreamed of and remember."

"Then, I'll guide your child along the way with all the help I can give."

"Thank you."

"Be a great lady, Yuki, my dearest daughter"
