1-016, '. . . Little Songs of Love. . .'

The rest was just a painful blur in Mihai’s mind.  When she woke in the stillness of the darkened room, she was looking into the distraught face of a woman with smoky-grey eyes and platinum-colored hair.

 “Ga… my G…”  Gentle fingers rested on Mihai’s lips.

“You’re safe, my darling.  Your soul has returned to us once more.”  The gentle voice continued to sing little songs of love in Mihai’s ears.

“When the summer grass turns to brown and the leaves die from the tree,

I shall call to you, my love, crying, ‘come back, come back to me’.

The river ever flows and the glade will never tell,

The depth of care our hearts do share and the pain of a fallen dove.”

For some time, Mihai drifted in and out of strange and bewildering dreams.

When she finally waked enough to fully comprehend her surroundings, the woman crooning the sweet tunes frowned and scolded, “It should be a blessing remembered and thankful you should be that the Grave-maker happened to cross your path.  If not for her, you would be hanging from a pike, drying in the breeze.”

The woman shook her finger in Mihai’s face.  “If you ever attempt another stunt like that again, you may find me less forgiving than that droid!”  She quickly turned away and left the room.

Mihai was saddened to think her actions hurt the woman so.  For six thousand years she had acted like a mother to her… indeed… a mother to thousands, many who never returned from such adventures.  And only once had she allowed anyone see her weep.
