Dala's eyes looked up to her mother as she placed the beautiful flower crown on her head. A small smile formed on her face at her mother's words. They weren't just a compliment, they were words of truth meant to support the child. Alairia and Raith were the sturdy pillars of support that she wished she'd always had. Arms of love were always there for her to run into, no matter where she went. Her mother, Ria, had an understanding nature that made the girl feel comfortable and….at home. A word she hadn't understood until now. This was her home. No matter where she traveled or what she did, this was the place would be her home. Her mom then asked her what it is the child wanted to accomplish. Dala picked up her now finished flower crown with its beautiful colors and carefully placed it on her mother's head.

"My accomplishments will be bringing that fortune to others." She said with a bright smile, "And to be somebody strong and good, like you."

Her words came from the depth of her soul. Dala truly believed her mother was the strongest and kindest person she'd ever met. Those sweet eyes and soft tone of voice had a way of comforting the child. In that moment, she realized how much she cared for mother. Dala suddenly wrapped her arms around Ria and gave her an embrace. But really it was more of a cuddle.

"I love you mama." She said quietly.

The rest of the world seemed an eternity away. Right now it was just her, and her beloved mom.
