~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a warm, sunny spring day, and the early morning wind blew through the trees with the promise of another lovely day. Birds were twittering to one another and the woodland creatures of age were just coming out of their resting places in the search for food and potential mates.

The peaceful atmosphere was suddenly shattered by the pained cry of a youngling who was no more that three. She sat among the blooming Lillies as her young heart broke.

"Daddy pweez don't leave me!" She cried as tears streamed down her face. "I pwomise I'll be a good girl! Just pweez don't leave! Mama is gone and I don't wanna be awone!" She reached out with small hands towards her father as he began to walk away.

The girl's father, a tall Amaran with fur so black it appeared tinted purple, looked back at her and stopped. "ENOUGH!" He shouted as his violet gaze fell upon the near human looking girl. She had large clear Violet eyes filled with sorrow, and long snowy hair, she had two large fox ears upon her head and a single tail. The fur that covered her fox like features was the same as her hair, the color of freshly fallen snow. Other than the ears and tail, the girl appeared totally human. She was what the fae called kitsune, her mother was Goddess of Fertility Lillian Bloom.

The child cringed into the flowers at the raised voice and quieted down to a frightened whimper.

He saw her cringe and felt a stab of guilt so he softened his voice to one of calming assurance.

"Nova, this is the Forrest of the Fae Wild, a place more suited to those of your blood. The spirits in these woods will guide and care for you in a way I would not be able to. They will nurture the divine gifts that are yours to claim by right of blood."

Nova shook her small head so violently, she caused her ears to make a flapping noise as she once more reached for her father."No! I want Daddy! I don't wanna stay with the spiwits!" She cried fretfully, even as her Father looked away and continued walking away, leaving her to the mercy of the fae. "Daddy don't go! DADDY!" her little voice broke and she collapsed sobbing in the Lillies.

Her cries fell on deaf ears as he walked to his ship the Darkling. His Ebony fur shone in the early morning light highlighting his fox-like features. As he left Nova to her fate and ultimate destiny.

A sudden soft breeze wrapped around the child encircling her in a mini Whirlwind of flower petals, a soft feminine whisper filled the air as the wind died down.

"Cry not my child, for you are never truly alone. I will be with you, always." The whisper faded leaving the impression of warmth and love behind.

Nova looked up, her eyes filled with tears as the petals fell in a sweet smelling rain that covered her, she knew that soft voice that had echoed in the wind. She gave the petals a sad but sweet smile as she touched them.

"So Mama isn't gone, just different. Mama turned into the wind and flowers. If Mama says she won't leave me then she means it. Nova isn't alone after all."
