Siren's Saving

Memories

When they finish their tour, Delta stopped Mira, “Are you ready to learn a little bit about your past?”

Mira looked at Delta with hesitation. Delta walked up to her and grabbed her chin and lifted her face slowly. She smiled at her and placed a kiss on her lips, “It’s okay, my love. I will be holding your hand through it all.” 

Mira gave her smile and nodded. Hand in hand, Delta took her to a crystal cave by Whirlpool Haven. When the girls arrived, Delta told Mira to leave her clothes behind and she did the same. 

“Why do we have to enter naked? What if there are more people?” 

Delta giggle, “Oh silly. Don’t worry. Only royals have the ability to find memories, and each one of us has our own den. We make it so we feel comfortable when we are doing the finding.” 

“Oh.” Mira whispered. 

Delta led her to a small den within the cave. She motioned her to go in first, then she followed behind. “Sit.” she told her. 

Mira sat facing Delta. Delta waved her hand over the entrance closing it up. She took Mira’s hands into hers. “So, this is how it works. As we hold hands the den will start to fill up with warm pink water. And don’t worry, you’ll be able to breath, and no tails will come out.” Mira chuckled.

Once they started holding hands, Delta closed her eyes. “licet quod aquae nostrorum animis et anima mea effundo circum nobis. et erit fides luminosa sit propter deperditi.” (May the waters of our minds and souls spill around us. And enlighten us with what is lost.) Mira looked at Delta with awe. 

Delta opened her eyes and looked at Mira straight in her eyes. Delta’s eyes went white. “Close your eyes and focus on the missing. Focus on what you lost.” Mira did as she was told. The den started to slowly fill with the pink water. A light started to illuminate between their hands, Delta closed her eyes once again.

“fructum,quæ quondam erat eius.” (Bring forth, what once was hers.) 

The light got brighter, filling the den itself with colorful bubbles of all types of memories. Mira eyes started twitching, memories we flowing into her mind. Delta made sure only a few entered, so they wouldn't overwhelm her. 

Papa! A girl ran and jumped onto her father. The man laughed as his daughter greeted him. 

“What a warm welcome!” he spoke. “I’ve missed you so, my child.”

“I missed you too.”

“Let’s go inside. Talk to me about your high school, and the wonders of magic you have learned.” 

The girl nodded and walked hand in hand with her father. They were giggling as they entered their home.  

A tear started to fall from Mira’s eyes. “Papa.” she whispered. 

Delta opened her eyes and saw the sadness on Mira. She stopped the progress and wiped the tear away. “It’s okay darling, cry.” Mira reached over and hugged her. Mira cried in her arms.
