Curls of blue wax fall to the ground, revealing the beautiful lavender core beneath that cerulean mask. Dried cornflowers circled the base, reminiscent of a flower crown.
Gentle hands lift the candle, slowly bringing it into the room next door. Delicately it descends upon an alter, right beside a silver candle with blue tulips carved into the sides.
A murmured chant hushed through the room, an elfess brushing her finger unto each wick individually.
Hera steps back, pale blue eyes gazing sadly upon the room filled with lanterns and lights- each representing a life. Woe was she, to have been born an elf but raised as human.
"There you are, Laurelie." She says quietly. "You can rest beside Johanne."
She sighs, sitting down in the center of the room. Silently, the tears fall into her lap- the scene far too familiar.
I'll see you all someday. I promise.
