A Court Of Family and fire

mamma?- Graviel/Elentiya

Elentiya pov.

We are sitting with the nice lady in our room. I have just been calling her the nice lady, i think i wall call her babu. I heard mamma talking about her language and how babu is a friend word. Babu is my friend. We have been going for walks every day for the past couple of bright thing in sky. Im not sure what it is called. But i love it because it moves. I can make mini ones in my hand. With my fire. Maybe i will call it moving fire. Thats it. For the last couple of moving fires we have been going on walks with babu.

ViVi always trys to get everyones attention about how nice his eyes are. But mamma taught us it is important to be modest. And showing of isnt modest. She is always kind to everyone. Mamma never shows off. Not to much anyway.

Babu has been teaching be about my magic. She tells me how to control it. She told me that we cant use all our magic right now because there is a bad man who will hurt mamma if we do. So we dont use much magic. Only in our rooms.

We see mamma once every seven moving fire things. I wish we would see her more. Im not sure why she doesnt see us more. She used to talk to us every day, she would take us on walks, and so would cousins. But now they are all gone and only babu and my brother Vivi are left. I know mamma still loves us. But i just dont know why she isnt talking to us. I havent seen dadda in ages either. I miss him. I miss how he used to fix my hair when Vivi ruins it. Now babu just gets a hairbrush.

I miss my family

I'm watching Ele watch the door. She wants to see mamma again. So do i. Ele looks sad. I dont like it when she is sad. We may fight alot but i still love her. She is my twin. I use my wind to make her hair into a pretty shape. It looks like the crown we wore on the fire night before we came here. She looks over to me and makes a fire tongue at me. We both smile. She looks at me and I know what she is thinking. She makes a ball of fire in front of babu and i use my wind to make it look like mamma. Babu looks at it and makes a sad smile. She walks over to us and picks us up. She tells us a story. Of a little girl who lost her family to early. A little girl with magic like ele and eyes like mine. The little girl went through so much pain but she found someone to make her happy and made new family. But Babu explained that family isnt always the one we are born with, but the one we choose to make. I want babu in my family. Babu helps mamma. Babu helps ele. Babu helps me.
