❞ 𝐈𝐓❜𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐀 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓 . . . ❞ Just how long has it been ? For as long as I can remember .
Why ? Why did it end like this ? My precious gift . Your life had ended too soon .
" Fate had been a little too cruel for us ... " A whisper came out of her throat , hoarse and sore from all that crying as she sat on her knees , eyes that only remains on the gravestone infront of her , wet from the rain as if it was mourning with the lady .
Nails tugged against the worn out cloth in her grasps , gently she held it with love and care . An important item from long ago as the memories resurface from her mind — before grief hits her again as she held the cloth close to her chest and wept silently in the late afternoon , over and over .
It was just too painful . How can the God's be so cruel ? Was I not being obedient enough ?
Tell me , were my sins so unforgivable that you have to punish me by taking my light to my darkness ?
Why ! Why punish me like this ? Why take her life away like this ?
It should've been me !
" Me ... "
Sinking to her knees as her lips quivered . She could only stare at the gravestone before her hands dug at the grass and soil . Letting dirt sink through her nails as she hunched over and cried , just like all these years .
Years , and years . How long has it been since the day I lost you ? The war had ended , but somehow those scars and the pain that went along with it ...
Never went away .
Been crying over a child's death since over four centuries. Really...
Done with the mourning as the lady wiped my tears away , sighing a little to her before she fixed her appearance again and got ready to head home and retire for the night , maybe drink something to indulge her sorrows .
Alas , I shall be spending my time alone in a fantasy , a dream far out of my reach . She thought bitterly .
Standing up , her dull eyes looked back down at the gravestone back again , " Mummy has to go baby . " She whisper lovingly patting it gently , feeling a little guilty that she has to leave so soon .
I'll come back later , she promised herself before she carefully placed the hood above her head before she picked up my basket and left .
" I'll be back for your birthday , " she whispers as she mustered a weak smile before she just ... Lost it again .
And so she left , with a heavy heart . Once more
Without the knowledge that her life would take a turn .
As a sudden surprise visit would change her life .

mira's notes ; the prologue sucked — but it's not like I could do much really , I'll focus on rewriting this book because a burst of ideas came to mind when it comes to mc and Lilia's interactions since we don't want to rush this book now would we? That would be boring.
