Mother's Day....
All this time, Raine had thought that her mother just abandoned her because she didn't want her. The foolish blood of Raine's is what did it. She was abandoned with her infant brother, all alone in a world she didn't understand.
All this time, she just thought her mother didn't care for her. Seeing her again was what made her think she didn't care, She was insane! Holding a doll, calling it "Raine," When her real daughter was standing right there in front of her, but she was too deluded to notice! Raine cursed, Raine screamed. She couldn't deal with this. She almost hated her mother.
If it wasn't for the elder of Exire who explained Virginia's case to Raine, and gave her what was the remnants of her mother's diary, only then did Raine understand. Her mother didn't do it because she hated them, she wanted them to live a happy life, away from persecution, away from the evils of Tethe'alla that wanted to use them for their intelligence, never let them live normal lives.
Of course her mother is dead now. In a deluded stupor, she fell off the edge of Exire, thinking she was being chased, like before. She never got to say thank you. She didn't even tell Genis, because she felt her little brother didn't have to be subjected to that evil. Being a halfling was already a sin. Genis didn't need anything more than that.
Knowing what her mother did, and what she went through. Raine can say that she really loved her.
"Thank you, Mother..." Raine whispered. A small tear washed down her face. She made sure no one could see her cry.
