[[ Okay, here we go. I need something to distract myself from the sad stuff going on, so it's time to start.

"Jun, Meilin, it's alright. I've been prepared to join the Goddess for some time now. Don't cry. Please, don't cry. You'll make me cry..." the bed ridden woman said. Her face lacked any color and her blonde hair was drenched in sweat. Her blue eyes were faded and worn, like a child's lost doll. She was bundled up in several woolen blankets, yet she still shivered. She was obviously very ill.
"But Mother... you can't leave us. Father needs you. You've seen how he's acted since you grew ill. He's going mad, I swear. The country needs you. You're their Queen. Without you, I don't know what'll happen. I..." the blonde girl next to the dying woman began to cry. Tears flowed down her cheeks, following the same path as the tears before them. Jun reached forward and grasped onto her mother's exposed hand. The woman had little strength to return to clasp, instead smiling at her daughter.
"Mom, I love you," said the girl seated next to Jun. Unlike her sister, Meilin looked nothing like the woman. No tears had drenched her cheeks, but it was obvious she was incredibly upset. "Without you, I.. don't know what I'll do.." Meilin stopped talking, choking on her own words. She resisted the urge to cry, instead opting to clench on the side of her chair.
The woman smiled. It was her greatest joy to die with her two daughters at her side. But, it was obvious they were in danger. "Before I die, I have one final request of the three of you." Now a third person was visible in the room. He was a hulking mass of muscle, but his face showed sadness and concern. "Sir Anton, this is addressed to you in particular. I want you to take my two flowers here-" the woman coughed, then continued, "And take them as far away as possible. They can't stay here too much longer. It's too dangerous..." Her eyelids began to feel heavier and it grew almost impossible to keep them open.
"But why my Queen? Won't it be import--"
"Emma, snap out of it. Karg wants us all ready to move out in ten minutes. You've barely packed anything," a voice said, breaking Jun out of her daydream. She shook her head and looked around, looking for the source of the voice. Standing in the doorway to her hut was Meilin, looking as impatient as ever.
"Well Clementina all I'm bringing are a few Vulneraries and my Shiyaiba. I don't want to be bogged down by too much. Especially since we lost most of our horses to those bandits the other day," Jun said, using the alias Meilin gave to the other mercenaries. It would of been unwise to reveal their true identities when they first arrived, so they used different names to conceal themselves.
Meilin shook her head and left the doorway, disappearing into the growing crowd forming outside of her tent. Jun stood and walked to where her sister had just been standing. She sighed. I can't believe we're going back to Koga-Na. I'm sorry Mother...
Jun peered into the crowd. They had recently recruited a vast amount of people and she recognized only a handful of them. "Here we go..."
