Snowflake looked up at her mother with a wisdom way beyond her tender years. In that moment she felt that something was watching over them, even though she couldn't see anything. She had no idea what that something was, she only felt it there, like an extra safety.
"Momma? I think daddy weally was sad to leave you. But sometimes it feels like he is still hewe."

"He is, when you were very, very little, the shamans, you remember momma talking about them?"

Snowflake looked over at Rainfall. She had been too small to remember the shamans, but she remembered her mothers stories about them. Snowflake was fascinated by her mother's stories.
"Yes. Can you tell me about the shamans again please?"

"The shamans are our elders and the most powerful people of our country, they are wise and true and we must trust them as they are closer to the gods than we ever could be." She smiled "You see, I told Nessa that mommy went to the shamans and asked to talk to daddy, but really it was your Grandpa that asked them, seeing as he is very close to Oblulot the water elf of the elders."
She knew it was a lot of information for a five year old, but she also knew her daughter would listen. "And they said they would bring back daddy's spirit so that mommy could talk to him and ask him what happened. When they did he said that he would watch over us and take care of us and that he loved us very much."

Snowflake listened with glittering eyes. She loved her mother, and her stories always had Snowflake's full attention. She hid the stories in her heart, like treasures, only more valuable.
"Has daddy ever seen me?"

"He's probably looking at you right now, in a way" she smiled "I did show him a picture of you when you were a baby" she continued to rock her daughter and moved a hair from her eyes "he said you were the most beautiful thing he had ever saw."

Snowflake embraced her mother and looked into her eyes. She thought her mother was the most beautiful person in the world. Nobody else had eyes that were so filled with love. She stroke her mother's hair gently and hugged her.
"I bet he say the same thing about you, momma. Daddy and I love you."

"I know you do" she held her daughter close and began to hum a song that normally would be sung a bit louder, but with Rainfalls low voice it was soothing and sweet.
"Sing all ye joyful, now sing all together. The wind's in the tree-top, the wind's in the heather; The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower, And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.
Dance all ye joyful, now dance all together. Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather. The river is silver, the shadows are fleeting; Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting.
Sing we now softly, and dreams let us weave him. Wind him in slumber and there let us leave him. The wanderer sleepeth. Now soft be his pillow. Lullaby! Lullaby! Alder and Willow!
Sigh no more Pine, till the wind of the morn. Fall Moon! Dark be the land. Hush! Hush! Oak, Ash and Thorn. Hushed be all water, till dawn is at hand."
((That lullaby is from The Hobbit))

((Awwww. I love that song ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's the first time I read it in English. Thank you. *hugs*)) Snowflake felt safe and warm in her mother's arms, and her voice was soothing and sweet. Snowflake rested her head against her mother's chest to hear her relaxing heartbeats. Her eyes felt heavy, and she shut her eyes. Her tiny body relaxed and sleep washed over her.

Rainfall continued to rock Snowflake for a moment longer before standing up slowly and carrying her to her room. She laid her down and pulled her blankets up around her chest, even though she knew by morning they'd be thrown askew.
She leaned down and kissed her on the forehead "Quel du Melamin*" Walking over to the lamp she blew out the flame and turned town the oil.
((*Good night my love.))

((Awww. What a beautiful good night scene. I can picture this. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Rainfall is a wonderful mother.)) Snowflake was sleeping in her bed, with a happy smile on her face. She noticed only vaguely that her mother kissed her and called her Melamin. She loved her mother too, but was too tired to reply. But her smile said it all. In her dreams, she saw a handsome and laughing male elf, watching both her mother and herself. It was her father, and Rainfall and Snowflake were with him. Momma looked so much happier now, and Snowflake felt happy to see momma smile again.

Smiling softly she closed the door, leaving a crack open in case Snowflake woke in the night. She went and cleaned up the glasses from the living room and washed them before dressing for the night and getting in to bed.
It would be another half hour before she fell asleep, only to to dream the same exact dream her daughter was having. Only they'd never know it.
Somewhere in the afterlife a dark haired elven man was smiling.
[[END SCENE]]
