Zairi

I heard the door open but didn't bother to turn back away from the flames.

"Was that really necessary.?" I could make out the sadness in her weak voice.

"Yes,it was."I mumbled to myself more than her.

"Zairi..you broke her heart today.Elder Kurona has locked herself in her room.She's not talking to anyone.Is that what you wanted.?" She paused. "Because if you really wanted to kill her.I think this is the closest you could get."

I kept mum. "Elder Kurona's pride of her clan meant everything to her.She had seen this clan grow from ground.She prided herself in its upbringing.Today that pride was shattered in more than enough pieces.Are you really happy now.?"

She waited for a response.But I had none.After a while she left.I laid back down and continued to stare at the fiery flames.My eyes closed of their own accord.

………..…...........

"Ma..why do you cry in my stead.?"
