Reuniting with a loved one
Tharinna, as the heir of House Crystmon, had to attend a lot of official trips. One day, she had to travel to Northrend, to take a look at their new property. A few days passed without any word. Evastra, Tharinna’s mother was in the middle of getting some paperwork done, when a messenger arrived with a letter. She took it cluelessly, then set the messenger on his way. When she was alone again, she opened it, and after the first few words it struck her. Tears started flowing from her eyes as she tried to process the contents of the message, then she fell on her knees as het legs failed her. She let out a mournful cry, the kind only a mother can. It echoed through the halls of the house, luring the terrified Damera to her mother’s room. She heard Evastra sobbing like she never did.
„What happened?” she rushed in, fearing the worst. She kneeled beside her mother, putting an arm on her shoulder.
„Tharinna is…. dead” she cried, falling in Damer’s arms.
„What? How?” she asked, then she noticed the letter. She took it with one hand, still holding her crying mother, and started reading it. Her eyes grow wider with every sentence, and her expression switched between terrified and disbelief.
In the message they explained that Tharinna’s caravan was ambushed by followers of the Lich King. It was basically a scene of a massacre. Blood, dismembered and burnt corpses everywhere. There were men, women, even children among the victims, they took pity on no one. Most of the dead bodies were unrecognizeable, but the body count proved that no one was spared. The local trackers followed any lead they could for days, but all their efforts were in vain, they couldn’t find the ones who did it.
„Sis…” Damera’s voice was shaking, then her tears started to pour out. Their whole household were grieving for their lost mistress. Tharinna’s funeral was held with an empty coffin in a few days, since all the remains were burnt at the site of the attack. Evastra was listening to the ceremony in dead silence. She never felt a pain this great in her 150 years. She accepted condolences, and even her daughters tried to comfort her, but it was all in vain. After losing her husband, now she lost her daughter too. Her heart was torn out, leaving nothing but emptiness. She was closing herself in her room, barely touching her food.
She got weaker each passing day, her body barely holding up anymore, until one day, about a week after the funeral, she was found dead in her room. Her heart stopped during the night, and she was free from mortal suffering. In the dark night, her golden, slowing soul ascended, then disappeared without a trace.
The next thing she knew, that she was in a place lit by very brightly glowing crystals.
„Where am I?” she asked, a little frightened, then she felt a familiar presence. „You came a bit early, but I don’t mind” came a voice from behind „I’ve been waiting for so long my love”
„Rathan?” she turned back, looking at her long lost husband through her tears „Rathan!” she flew happily in his arms.
„Evastra, my dear” Rathan held her tightly, gently kissing her lips. „You suffered so much my love, but you need to know, that not everything is lost.”
„What do you mean” she looked up at him.
„Come, look where fate takes our children, together.”
And the two souls merged once again, just like their bodies int he past.
