Like Mother, Like Daughter [Private: Arianda, Calypso]
Sun 21 Feb 2021, 13:12
Song: Funkyard - By: Arrowhead & Zentra - Word Count: N/A
How long had it been since that day? Since the day in which Arianda, too far in pain to realize absorb it, realized she was mother of a child she never knew to be hers; Calypso, a child of hers and Mana's. Back then, it was quite difficult to deal with that revelation; to truly process it. Since then, Arianda had processed it, and she had only seen her daughter maybe once or twice. It left a pit in her stomach. She wished to see her, to be the mother she never could be; to find her and try to help her. However, she had never done it. Why? It was hard for Arianda to say. Perhaps she felt guilty, perhaps she didn't feel like it was her place to intervene; however, it was more likely Arianda was scared. She was scared that Caly would reject her outright; which was why the demon had not chased after her daughter. Not to mention, she seemed quite good at being able to make it so she can't be followed if she doesn't wish to be followed. However, Arianda still desired to be with the girl, her child; to help her. It just took courage.
However, Arianda had not mustered the courage. Frankly, she had no idea where Caly was; which made Ari feel even more-so guilty that she had no idea where her little girl was. Even if Caly wasn't so little, it was hard for Arianda not to wish to refer to her as such. She called Aki it, after all. Regardless, Arianda still had a great desire to see her daughter and to finally be the mother Caly deserved; the mother Arianda should have been from the start. It was hard to do that, however, when you had no idea you even had a daughter. That changed nothing, however; Arianda was going to be the mother Caly deserved... she would.
Knock, knock, knock
Arianda's thoughts had been torn away the moment she heard a knock at the door. It was a little surprising, since no one but Ulv would come knocking like that. Who could that have been? Arianda had no idea, in the slightest, who would be at the door; especially because Ari was expecting no company. So, Arianda decided it was best to answer it.
With a quick peek through the peep-hole on the door, Arianda only saw... well, colorful plants. Arianda slightly recognized the energy on the other side of the door; but she was still uncertain who it could be. Without too much worry, Arianda opened the door to find what awaited her; which appeared to be a wall of flowers.
"Um... Hello~?"

ENTER THE DREAMER
Song: My Time
The knocks were far too gentle to have been from a spontaneous and powerful woman such as Ulv, even if she was now a mother. The presence behind the door radiated with a sense of calm gentleness, even a well of wistful sadness. It was like a soft covering of fog rested behind the door, it's presence passive and refusing to be overbearing on the woman residing on the other side. It was almost like something was reaching out for her, to hold and treasure her...
And once the door was opened, the sight of many held cut flowers of all varieties would be revealed to Arianda, held gingerly by shadowy tendrils. Amongst these flowers was a pale face, locks of snow white hair hardly poking through the bunches of plant-life. Upon this pale face were a pair of brightly gleaming golden eyes, their warmth and intensity sticking out fiercely amongst the porcelain features; something that didn't belong with such an appearance.
From these eyes, these bright, drawing eyes, did golden tears form; a color such tears have not taken for a long, long time, almost as if they had remembered what they truly wept for.
It was Calypso, and her gaze was wide and transfixed on the demon before her. Eyes filled with so much feeling upon seeing her, she felt a lump in her throat, the sensation of emotion hitting her as her mind went back to that day, when she was in so much distress and torture, awakened to reality upon seeing her mother crumbled on the ground, close to her death.
She didn't come see her. After all of that, she didn't come see her. She practically forgot the woman as her cravings to prove herself worthy, to gain power, had clouded her vision from what was important. She didn't even send the woman a message. Though it was not guilt she felt in this moment, no; It was a determination to set things right. Guilt would do nothing but leave her worried in a puddle - She had no time to waste groveling.
But seeing her.. Seeing her alive and well... It welled the demon with so much relief yet so much sadness, sadness in that she wasn't fighting tooth and nail to see her first.
"...Hi Mom," Her voice was choked, as she would speak. She wouldn't be surprised if Arianda wouldn't want to see her again; at the very least, she would want to make it right by her here, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not looking for you, or visiting you, or making sure you were okay... My foolishness blinded me. And for that, i'm so very sorry. I don't have to come in, but.. At the very least, if you could accept my gift.."
She gently offered the flowers forth, "..They're.. All wild. I spent hours picking and arranging all of them. Don't worry I fixed whatever I picked, just.. I hope this labor is enough to show how sorry I am."
