Queen of Cups

Hierophantesse of Stars

Time passed and everything has changed, for a month or so, no sign of their friend to be alive.

Back home, Raisa became better with each day passing, and Orla and Holly visited her daily, alongside their sons... Raisa was the last thing that remembered them of the love they had lost...

... And they were the last thing that could remember her of how she has failed being a mother yet again.

Raisa was now looking at the boys, Kakyoin was looking through the books about tarot she had written during her younger years, and Jotaro was smoking out the window, so that he could hide from nurses.

"Noriaki..." Started Raisa. "Why did you name your stand "Hierophant Green"? I mean it's not a wrong name... But why this?

The boy took a breath and said "Because of my mom... When she was pregnant, a tarot reader told her I'll be her small Hierophant. She doesn't recall everything they did tell her but... Because of her."

"So you're comfortable with your feminine side?"

"Yeah... We can say so." Said the red-head. "I just wanted mom to understand me... I was taught all my life that a mom must be the most understanding... But apparently she couldn't see it as well... And that is why, in my desire of her to understand me, I called him my Hierophant Green."

Hierophant Green went and hugged it's user "Sometime... People would scare me so much and I would rather hug my stand than being hurt by them..."

Raisa looked at the boy, and the way his stand hugged him remembered her of how she had hugged Felicia. In a heartbeat, she took a deep breath and spoke, in a sharp, emotional voice.

"Well... Orla was the most eager to learn tarot when she would spend time with me..."

Suddenly, the clicking of a pair of heels was coming forth to the room. Jotaro sighed with a smirk. He knew what was about to happen, for that he and Raisa decided to offer him a small event full of happiness for all he's been through in less than a year.

The door opened, and Kakyoin, as usual, wanted to retreat his stand, but Jotaro's Star Platinum took a hold of it.

"Jotaro... What the fu-" started Kakyoin but soon realized the one to enter was none other but his mom...

In the doorframe, her mouth was agape. There she laid before her son's eyes... Orla Kakyoin.

The mother seemed frozen in time as both the stands retreated themselves. Noriaki looked at his mother as to understand what was going on. "Mom, are you okay?"

Silence.

Orla just stared at her son, in fear? In pain? What has happened to her?

"... Noriaki... All your life... You've been alone. Nobody understood you... Not even us, your parents- NO, I, your mother, could not understand you..."

The son looked slightly skeptical at her mother's wording, but listened still. "You have a wonderful gift not many get... And I hope with time I'll understand it..."

"Mom... What are you talking about?"

"Isn't that obvious, Noriaki" started Jotaro, empathising to resemble the mother. "She saw it..." He said.

"I can finally understand your world."

Noriaki rushed and hugged his mother, letting for now the worries of  her lost friend... But the thoughts of her still invaded his mind.

.•°•~~~~Sometime ago~~~~•°•.

"Mother was the moon,
Father was the sun.
She was supposed to be the Star
But was alive so far...
So in a small coven, at her new altar;
The birth of the Hierophantesse of Stars began."

(Name) could hear a voice similar to her  mother's singing this song, as she walked back and forth to consciousness and unconsciousness. But right now, Moonhigh Queen was murmuring it, while trying to find any humans to stop the ice raft on the shore, so that she could be saved.

The stand was able to think and elaborate phrases... And was thinking about it's user... "I shall protect my child..." Was her last thought as she tried walking parallel to the beach in search of a human.

And then, she saw one. A woman in a green kimono, looking like she was in her late 60's or 70's. She was walking down the shore, and her house seemed nearby.

Moonhigh Queen pushed her user and melt the ice before she could reach the woman. The pedestrian saw her limp body and although her looks made her seem weak, she effortlessly carried (Name) in her poor little house.

After some time, the girl woke up to a somewhat familiar face, some facial expressions being similar to something... But couldn't pin to what or who.

"Calm down... Do you remember who you are?" Asked the woman in Japanese.

The girl took a deep breath and tried to speak. "I'm... Uh.... (Name Surname)... I think."

"Do you know what happened to you?"

"N-No... Not quite..."

"Hmmm..." The elder murmured. "Do you know anything about you?"

"No, particularly... I know that my dad is gone..."

The elder lady passed her a glass of water and spoke.... "Well... You are my child, of course..." The woman said.

"Oh... What was your name..?" Asked the girl, looking at the old woman.

The old woman said, a smirk around her face forming. "You forgot about me because you left the house... Haven't I told you that you shouldn't be doing that? The Yokai could steal your memories... And that happened! You can get hurt, or worse...!"

"I guess..." Said the girl. "But I still don't know who you are."

The old woman looked like she was about to laugh and then hold her Strength.

"I am Sakura Kakyoin... But you can call me your mother...and promise me that you'll lever leave me..."

The girl nodded. She won't be leaving her mother, ever again.
