A last embrace

[Muckelpu 291]

Raelle was the reason why I have joined LOTC, as a friend of mine back then asked me to play their daughter. I've enjoyed the Rp with her, even if I lost my dedication to her at some point. I would like to thank the people that were her friends and active part of her life and development. For a long time I didn't want to pk her, as I clinged to her without playing her actively...but I think now I am ready so goodbye to my comfort persona and in my eyes very first persona on LOTC. 

 

A big thank you also to @Myrthefor playing such an amazing friend and later partner in Rp, I will cherish the sweet moments between those two. 

This the very first time to write a pk, I did my best.

 

Carefully, a young girl climbed into her mother’s bed. Her eyes were as mismatched as her mother’s. Quietly, she would cuddle up against her mother’s side, offering a comforting smile up to the ginger haired woman who placed a weak and shaking hand on her head. 

 

She looked old, Rúna thought. Despite her young age, she understood it wasn't how her mother was supposed to look. The girl closed her eyes, scared of the thought that her mother was in pain, hiding it behind that gentle smile. 

 

Raelle did her best to keep her smile warm, wanting to spare her daughter from solemn and depressing thoughts. She had grown frail and thin over the past months, weak and tired. At first, she just noticed her stamina was draining faster along with  a slight feeling of constant tiredness. She still wasn't sure of what illness had befallen her, though she was sure it wasn't one that couldn't have been treated with common medicinal or alchemical remedies. 

 

Gathering all her strength, she lifted Rúna into her arms, as she leaned against a mountain of pillows that her wife had prepared for her. “Rúna babej, vy know vyr mamej loves vy with all she got yi?” She asked with a soft tone, her voice comforting and warm. Raelle placed a loving kiss onto her daughter's forehead as she brushed some of her dreads back behind the pointy short ears. “Ea will always be with vy, no matter what happens…always watching over vy.”

 

The girl nodded in response, clinging to her mother,embracing her with small arms. Even though it hurt a little Raelle silently returned the hug, wrapping her arms protectively around Rúna. Silent tears formed within her eyes as she gently stroked her daughters back, starting to hum softly a lullabys melody for her.

Her teary eyes fell upon her wife’s blue gaze that returned the same solemn understanding. Raelle’s heart ached at the sight, despite being in pain, she managed to lift her left arm, inviting her into the embrace. Hesitantly, Úna accepted, holding Raelle with her right arm as she joined the humming. Brushing along their daughter's hair with the stump of her left arm, Rúna slowly fell asleep, cradled in the embrace of her mothers and their voices, guiding her into a deep slumber.

 

Even though sadness filled her heart and a sense of failing washed over her, Raelle felt at peace. She knew that her wife and daughter had each other once she would leave this world. Even though she wished she could stay and see Rúna grow up, Raelle had accepted that it wasn't meant for her to win this battle in life. Exhausted, she leaned her head against úna’s shoulder, gazing into her eyes for a long moment. 

 

“Ea love vy two… eam llun to leave vy. Eam llun to not be there to see what kind of person our daughter will become…not be there for you anymore when you need it.” She whispered to not wake the young half-elf. A long and soft kiss would be given to Úna. “Please take good care of our girl.” 

 

Úna nodded a heavy feeling tightening her chest, as she hugged her wife. Even though they had spoken about it over the past couple of months, she wasn't ready to see Raelle leave now. She felt desperate, sad and helpless holding her sick wife now. How was she supposed to continue, raising Rúna alone? Tears kept falling down her cheeks as she buried it at Raelle’s shoulder.

 

Raelle gently stroke Úna's back a smile to her lips. “Ea will make sure to always stay close and keep an eye on vy two. Eam sure we will meet again someday.” She tried to cheer her wife up a little. She felt so endlessly tired, her eyes falling shut repeatedly as she spoke. 

 

“Ea love you Úna.” A final whisper was given to Úna, before her eyes fell shut forever and her last breath was taken. Her hand motionless was still holding her daughter and wife.

 

Raelle died at the age of 59 born as a Weiss-Vuiller in SA 135 and died SA 194 as happy woman.

 

To the following people letters would be delievered:

Úna (@Myrthe)

To my loving and amazing wife,

I’m sorry to leave you and Rúna this early. Even though I should be sad, i feel at ease knowing that you will be there for our daughter like you have been for me. You’ve been with me since we both were children, at first I only admired your carefree and free self. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have come this far. You’ve always supported, comforted and reassured me of my decisions in life. Your wildside was scary at first, but I’ve grown to love just that about you. Sometimes to not overthink and just get into stuff with you, was freeing. Your smile and laughter made my stomach tingle, my heart race and smile. I was so scared when asking you out, fearing that you might reject me. When you didn’t it seemed like my world just became even brighter. Thank you for being this amazing of a partner and wife. I am the luckiest woman to have been able to call you mine for such a long time. Please do not grief forever, try to live your life happily with Rúna and maybe one day another partner.

With neverending love

Raelle

Dear Papej,

I know we have not had much contact lately. Wherever you are right now, I hope that you are well. Even though we haven’t spoken or written, you always had a place in my heart and mind. Did you know, you are the grandpapej of a sweet little girl by now. Her name is Rúna, I know it's a bit silly since it is a combination of her haelun and mamej names. Maybe you will meet her one day. But Papej, what I really meant to say to you with this letter is: Thank you. Thank you for supporting me, even though I did not go down the path of a good canonist. Thank you for letting me leave, giving me the opportunity to find freedom in life and finding love. Freedom to marry her and build a life with Úna. Thank you for being my Papej.

With Love 

Raelle

To Auntie Len and Uncle Gus,

I’ve been grateful for you two being like family since I can think. Vortice has been my home for most of my life, it has its special place within my heart. I want to thank you for all the support you have given me, when I moved to Vortice. Thank you for taking care of me as a young girl. Being like family. Please stay like you are, take care of the ones you love and watch your children grow.

Love

Raelle

To Scatha and Erendriel Drakon,

I hope this letter will find you two well. I wanted to say I am grateful for the time you took care of me like I was part of your family. 

 

Captain, thank you for teaching me how to defend myself and stay physically fit. I missed our lessons dearly, you were like a mother at that time. A person I could always confine with when I needed to. 

 

 

Erendriel, know that I always have loved you even if it hasn’t been in the way you had wished for. You were like a brother, one that I never had. I felt awful when having to break your heart, I hope you could forgive me. I missed having you around afterwards. 

 

 

I’m sorry to be unable to say goodbye to you two in person, please keep staying safe on your travels and sailing endeavors.

 

Love

Raelle

 

A'lia & Onon (@Myrthe & @Jaslaw):

To Onon and A’lia,

you two were the ones teaching me a lot over the years, probably the most even. Onon, I wanna thank you for teaching me about the secrets of the building blocks of the world. I enjoyed our lessons quite a lot. As did I do the spar we had in Lurin. A’lia, I always thought you an odd one, but in a pleasant way. You made me feel accepted whenever I visited you and your husband. I loved the stories you told me about my grandparents, that I never got to meet. You two were, almost like a distant aunt and uncle to me. Thank you for your stories and teachings.

Love

Raelle

Dear Cousin,

I hope you and your family are well. I’ve always been amazed by your stubbornness and strength to continue after all that you’ve been through. You were the last one, I’ve been in contact with for the past few years in a repeating occasion. I want to thank you for that, to stand up for me when we were younger. Thank you for still seeking contact every now and then. My daughter reminds me a lot of you, maybe one day you two will meet. Till then stay safe, you and your family.

Love,

Raelle.

Dear Theo,

I want to apologize for keeping you waiting on me completing the first task you’ve given me concerning my dedicancy. Sadly I won’t be able to complete it, as I’m unable to leave my bed. Some illness has taken a hold of me, quickly draining me of my strength. I just wanted to thank you for this opportunity you have given me. It gave me hope after years of feeling lost on my path in life. You’ve been a great friend and teacher, thank you. Please look after Úna from time to time, I think she could need some support once I am gone.

Warm regards

Raelle

 

Illyria (@Gimble):

Dear Illyria,

we might not have been the closest of friends but I would still consider you one. I’ve enjoyed our conversation in Nevaehlen quite a lot. It was peaceful and calming, I know the tides can be quite harsh the more grateful I am to have gotten to know your gentle side. I fear I won’t make it to the sailing trip you invited me to, but please don’t let it keep you from sailing. May always be a fresh breeze in your sails, keeping you going when you need it.

Warm regards

Raelle

 

Cassius, Tiwari & Ember ( @RatFromTheTrash, @TheGekko & @TeawithFrisket):

To Únas parents,

I’m most grateful that I was able to call your dearest daughter my wife. Now that I’m leaving this world, I would like to ask a last favor of you all. As I know you love Úna at least as much as I do, please take care of her and our daughter. I think Úna will need all of you, so please be there for her when she does. Don’t let her disconnect from you. I’m sorry to have to leave her to you.

Warm Regards

Raelle

There was a moment of dead silence before úna, gently laid Raelle down on the pillow, and slowly stepped over to Rúna,to take the sleeping child over to her own room. So she didn't have to wake to the now passed away Raelle. Once Úna had tucked Rúna into her own bed, she stepped back to her and her wife's room, she was /terrified/ to be here since the room was small. But she needed to be here.. Moments passed turned to minutes, turned to hours, as Úna stared at her first love. She had become frail, and her body sick, and now, she had finally found rest. tears rolling down her cheek ever present, but not a sound left her mouth. not wanting to wake their daughter.

 

Much much later, Úna finally dared to open the letter her late wife had left her. Scared, and sad she opened it and started reading...
Soon tears formed in her eyes as she started to sob over the last message form her wife, she didn't know how she would do any of it without her. Raelle always has been Úna's rock to fall back on, a guiding hand where she missed one. And most off all a friend to spend the lonely nights with. She would wail in agony of her lost wife, now that her child wasn't close by to hear her. Though her voice cracked as it was and never would be strong enough to reach far.

 

 

A'lia would stare at the letter lost in thought, a thought that never had left her sience her first friend had died... 'How could she handle seeing so manny friends die?'  Turning to her husband who always seemed to know, going to quietly cry in his arms. @Jaslaw

There was a Templar resting in front of a tree mbellished with mementos of the many friends of hers that have passed. A prayer was offered for the felled, Raelle. An individual the Templar had talked little but that respected much.

Lenora weeped at the news of Raelle's passing. She had watched the ginger with miss-matched eyes while she grew.. Made sure at her parents request that she had a roof over her head when her idles were challenging those in a far off land and she didn't feel safe in. She watched her grow from a child into a bright young woman.. and eventually the sickly person she became. Each human loss took a bit of her with them, as she wouldn't be able to see them again when it came time to go to star'gush.

She knew the day where Rae died would come at one point or another, yet it felt way to soon... Far to soon.
