The New Light of Hope: Books I to VI.

Chapter XXVII: Mother-Daughter Conversation.

Amethyst:

Date: July 27th, 2019.

I was at home thinking to myself about how we would be able to pull any of plans off during the battle, wondering what would happen, wondering what Milly was going to do, to think, or to say to everyone when they found out the truth. As I was busy in my thoughts, my mother came into and sat right next to me. "Something on your mind, sweetie?" She asked, her calm and patient voice startled me at first as I didn't see where she was sitting until I heard her speak. But I answered question by saying: "I'm just nervous about this upcoming battle."

Willow: "What's wrong? What is it about this battle that's making you nervous?"

Amethyst: "Well, for one thing, I don't know if this is going to be a real battle or if it could happen in a dream because we all know what happened the last time."

Willow: "Well, sweetie, there's no telling if the battle will be a dream or a reality but every battle will always be a challenge to every soldier that must fight in it and once they do, they can't turn back from it. I just want you and your friends to be careful when it happens."

Amethyst: "We might come out with a few scratches but I don't really see any sort of full-on physical harm coming to us."

Willow: "I still want you girls to be careful."

Amethyst: "We will."

Aurora:

"I know it's a challenging thing when danger is on the horizen ready to strike at any given time, but in times like these, we always to focus on what we're doing and not something that is expected to happen. If we did, we would be stressed and completely out of our own minds." My mother told me. She was with me when I told her I felt troubled about the battle. "Wow, I never that I'd get this much advice from my own warrior mother." I added in when she finished. "Thanks, mom."

"Anytime."
...
Sadie and Jemma:

Sadie:

"A battle will always be challenging but no enemy is a match a stronger warrior like you girls." Our mother told us that night. We were worried about the battles and we didn't know who to turn to for advice and so we decided to talk to our mother about it.

Jemma:

"Thanks, mom." Sadie added in response. "I think we really needed that."

"Yeah!" I added in.

Mimi: "Anytime, girls. I'm glad to have helped you out."

Sadie: "And me, Jemma, Chloe, and Joey are glad to have a mother like you."

Mimi: "Thanks."
...
Abigail and Bellatrix:

Abigail:

"Always help someone out when they need it during the battle." Our mother told us. Whenever we needed to talk to someone and we didn't feel like sharing it with our friends, our father, or our brother, we would share it with our mother as she would listen to what we had to say. "Thanks, mom." Bellatrix replied when she finished.

Bunny: "No problem, honey. I'm always whenever you kids need to talk or if you need something from me."

Abigail: "And we're lucky to have a mother like you."

And to this very day, we are still very greatful to have her and call her our mother.
...
Milly:

"I know this is challenging thing, but I know for a fact that you'll be able to fight through this battle like how David took down Golith when no one else did!" My mother told me that night. "Jee. Thanks, mom." I said when she finished speaking.

Mousy: "Anytime. I'm always here to help you kids out whenever you need it the most."

Milly: "And I'm glad to have a wise mother like you."

And I still am. We are greatful to have such amazing mothers in our lives.
...
Summer:

"I know we haven't talked much since dad died and I am so so so so sorry for cutting you off like I did." I told my mother, Lisa when we sat down to talk; it had been so long since I last talked to my mother ever since my father died. And after he died, I cut all contact from her and reacted coldly towards her. And now, I regretted and I wanted to apologize now before it was too late as something may happen to her and if I didn't apologize, I would be plagued with guilt for the rest of my life. "It's all right, sweetie, I already forgive you." She told me. "I know your father's death was hard for you and your siblings, but now it's all over and done with." She then asked me: "What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Summer: "Well, you know about the whole Forest thing that I was told about last year?"

Lisa: "What whole Forest thing?"

Summer: "Well, last year, I met up with seven kids who are the kids of a few animals Autumn knows and they told me that I am one of the chosen Protectors as the previous Protectors died and none of them had any known heirs to take their places when they were killed in the last Generation. At first, I thought all of it was fake, but now I know for a fact that it's not fake; it's very much real. And we have a battle coming up soon and we don't know if it's going to take place in a dream or not and I have my own insecurities about the whole and I honestly need your advice."

Lisa: "Oh, Sunnygirl, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Summer: "I honestly don't know."

Lisa: "Well, the battlefield was no match for your father. That field never stood a chance against him or his fellow soldiers."

Summer: "That's true. Dad always came back in one piece. But cancer was a battlefield that he couldn't fight on because it was already too late when the doctors finally found the tumor. If they did it sooner, then maybe he'd live longer! Hell, maybe he'd still be here with us if they found it sooner!"

Lisa: "Oh, Honey, I know it's been hard for you and your siblings to move on still and I understand that you're still trying to move on from the past and look forward to the future. But know that you're not alone in this struggle of trying to move on; you've got your family and friends and thanks to those girls, you've opened up so much to us and fixed a lot of things. I know it's still a struggle for our family, but as a family, we'll get through it together. My point is: Fight valiantly in your own way. You're a very strong and independent woman and no battle is going to hold you down now, not when you're so close towards your goal."

Summer: "Thanks, mom."

Lisa: "Anytime."

The advice she had given me just made me cry and we both hugged. This was one of the many calm and peaceful conversations that I had with my mother in over the past three to four years ever since our family tragedy when I lost my father and to this day, I still remember that conversation.

"Your mother sounds like a very nice woman."

Yeah...

She was.
