Chapter 18. Apprenticeship 3
Due to the severe pain in her body, Nia's consciousness and body gradually separated.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange environment.
The white-robed priests were all gone, and she was no longer in the depressingly large temple. The world she was in was red, and the world she was in had been swallowed by something:
Fire, blazing fire, a raging fire that devours everything, bloomed around the girl.
"Mother!"
Her mother, Yuffie, was standing less than ten steps in front of her. Even though Yuffie's back was turned to her, how could Nia not recognize her mother's back?
Even though Steele told her that this woman was not her biological mother, she was still her favorite mother in Nia's heart.
It's just that the girl couldn't throw herself into her mother's arms, because the sea of fire separated them.
Although they are right in front of each other, this short distance has become an insurmountable gap.
"Um...Mom, I'm here!"
But what if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me? As long as I can hug my mother again, it doesn't matter what kind of suffering I have to go through.
Just stepping into the sea of fire, these beautiful and cruel flames burned the girl's delicate skin mercilessly. Nia gritted her teeth to hold back the pain and continued to move forward in the sea of fire.
However, just as she took a step forward, a wave of heat suddenly surged in front of her, pushing her back to where she was.
Did it fail?
Nia patted the flames on her dress and accidentally touched the blisters she had just gotten from the perm, causing her whole body to tremble in pain.
This sea of fire is not made of pure flames, but a living whole, and it is consciously preventing the girl from stepping through this realm.
With tears in her eyes, the girl got up from the ground and prepared to try again.
"Nia, don't come here again!"
After learning about this stupid girl's reckless behavior, Yuffie immediately turned around and stopped her.
Seeing that the daughter she had always regarded as her own was bruised and bruised by this endless fire of karma, Yuffie's eyes were filled with painful tears.
"Why?"
After seeing her mother's familiar face, the tears in Nia's eyes finally couldn't stop flowing out.
Every night after leaving her mother, the girl who seemed to be strong and accepted the reality would always burst into tears from time to time. She said she had gotten sand in her eyes, but in fact she suddenly thought of her mother.
Every time at this time, she would find an excuse to leave people, and then secretly hide in a corner and wipe her tears.
"You are not from this world, and there is no way you can come here no matter what."
Yuffie stood helplessly on the other side of the sea of fire, watching the pain on her daughter but unable to do anything for her.
"I just came to see you and make sure you are okay. Now I am relieved. I will go back soon. Nia, you should also live well there."
"But, I...miss you, Mom."
Since they will be separated soon, why should we meet again?
Every night, Nia is afraid of dreaming.
She couldn't help but think of her mother every day and didn't want to see her in her dreams.
After meeting each other in a dream, how could she bear this longing? But the dream could make her most wished-for things come true during the day, and then tell her the moment she woke up that the happiness she had just experienced was just an empty dream.
This was such a cruel punishment, which caused her soul to suffer.
Yuffie closed her eyes and responded: "I miss you too, Nia."
The mother's figure in the flames was a little blurry. Nia stood up and shouted angrily: "Then why? Do we have to separate?!"
Yuffie was silent for a moment, and finally opened her mouth tremblingly: "There is no other way, I also want to be by your side and watch you all the time."
"That!"
"I want to see you act coquettishly, see you be independent, see you find the right person, see you have children, see you no longer need us to worry about..."
"Mother……"
At this time, Yuffie's figure seemed to fade a little. Nia wanted to reach out and grab something, but the ruthless fire forced her back again.
"How could I not be curious about the future of my daughter who makes me proud? Although I can't be with you, my eyes have not taken away from you."
"So Nia, actually it's the same now, I will still be here to watch over your life."
