Mana: Before The Rise 250 Extra: Last Tea Party 3

I didn't really understand family either.

But, I liked it. I liked being treasured, pampered and having someone look out for my. I used to think how my parents treated me was normal, I used to be jealous of my twin for being loved so much. But I never argued against it. But, when I was adopted..." Sylvia trailed, thinking she had talked to much. "I care for the demon race up to the day the world had ended, I shepherded them into another world before I left…..That is all there is."

"Third to last, huh." Said an older woman in light ancient period clothes. "I am Cai Lingxin" she smiled. "I must I like this relaxing speech rather then my own people way of talking. Like sir, Greyson I don't like talking about my private life. Some thing are quiet uncomfortable even for me. Ruling wasn't any fun when you have high strong men who wouldn't take, couldn't take a woman seriously.

My bloodl.u.s.t also wasn't helping. I never thought I could use my bloodl.u.s.t in a way that could help the country. Killing others is a morally wrong thing so.

Well, enough about that. I lived a little over a 105, many of my people where impressed that I outlived a few generations. And still maintain decent health, I committed suicide with poison my choice. I believe my people made a memorial. And That's really all I have to say."

"Krirra, the G.o.ddess of the Dawn" The women slowly said. "My life is rather long compared to all of years, Well, I have about 126,000 years on me. The reason for my death…" She glanced at Rachel "Its rather stupid, but, I don't regret. All things come to an end eventually" She folded her arms, Aya was sitting on her shoulder, she had shrunk her size to make her less visible. "My dawn, I resent more then just that. I was given the t.i.tle of Dawn because I was not allowed to have multiple t.i.tles.

My dawn was the light of day, the darkness of night. The hope that comes with the morning Sun, the solstice of the day, the silence of the night. I'm finished talking I wasn't really that much of a talker in the first place after all"

Rachel was the last to walk up to the stage and afterword everyone would have finished

"Rachel Morgan, my original name before that was Faith song, I was born in a small town. My father was Autistic, and my mother was greedy. As you can see they weren't a good mix from the start." Rachel closed her eyes and took a small breath. "My life wasn't pleasant, as I'm sure you all know. Beaten by my mother, rapped by my step-father. Bullied by those I had once considered friends. My suffering was ordered by the family of someone close to me." She said sadly. "It felt like the world was against me, I didn't see a light at the end of a tunnel nor could I climb the mountain. I was weak."

She trembled a little. "But, even though I wanted to die. My journey didn't stop, I continued to experience thing I never thought I could have. Love, Motherhood, Friends.h.i.+p, Family, Loyalty, and Kindness. The things that make life more glorious, the things that can make one more willing to live then die. I have to say I am happy how it ended and I still am." Rachel ended her turn with that and walked down from the stage.

She sat next to Miyu.

"Is this Okay?" Miyu asked, Rachel nodded her head. The little garden where they held their tea parties was empty, but, that place still had some trances of them left behind. Indicating that although they where gone, what they left behind still exist.

Rachel leaned her head over and Miyu did the same and with a trembling voice and a truly happy smile as tears fell from her face, her final words.

"Death is the only Peace There is."
