NINSIANNA
The whisper of the goddess kissed her soul. Ninsianna reached up into the light, yearning for that which had been whispered to her from the day of her birth. No. Even before she had been born, this gift had been promised to her, favorite daughter of She-who-is. The promise that her time here would be short. She had a task to do, and when she was finished, she could return to the light from whence she'd come.
"Mother," Ninsianna called into the night. "Take me home." She pushed against the warm torso who held her captive, seeking to slip his grasp.
Light bathed her in a gentle golden glow, kissing her hair and carrying her along in the thoughts of She-who-is.
