Farah hastened her approach and took Neva into her arms lovingly. "Oh, my darling… it's not your fault," she whispered. It was breaking her to hear Neva's cries.

neva clung to farah, sobbing into farahs shoulders

Farah shut her eyes and supported Neva unconditionally. She kissed Neva's hair and held her gently but firmly.

"i.. im so sorry.."

"What in the Six Realms are you sorry for?" Farah asked incredulously. "My darling, I know it wasn't your fault."

" it was my magic that started it!"

"But that does not mean it was your fault," Farah whispered.

" it does…"

"No," Farah countered. "Will you let me look?" she asked quietly.

neva froze for a second but sighed " go ahead.." she said softly

Farah pulled away from the hug, and her eyes glowed as she gently touched her fingers to Neva's forehead. It wasn't required, but it was simply easier that way.

nevas past played in farahs mind, the exact events leading up to the fire and neva being drug out by someone all the way to the moment it started. neva could feel the sun on her face as it woke her, the sweet smell of her mothers baking filled the air. she got up, putting on her usual birthday outfit of a cute dress an shoes. she went down the stairs, her father, a mechanic of six years greeting her. he smelled potently of gas. as they made their way to the kitchen she seen the party hr mother had made. her memory skipped to the moment her powers showed, her skin glowing and the shriek of her mother. the light was flung, landing onto her father. his scream was blood curdling, and everything was catching easily to the flame. her mother was next as the grease from cooking caught. neva was coughing and screaming for help. after a few shed passed out from the smoke, waking to the feel of hands around her and pulling her out

Farah came back into herself with a shaky gasp. "Oh gods…"

neva was still crying " it was my fault.."

Farah shook her head. "You can't blame yourself for uncontrollable circumstances."

"…" neva lowered her head, looking down at her phone

Farah gently smoothed Neva's hair. "Play it," she whispered quietly.

neva shook her head " i.. i cant.. i cant hear it again.."

"Then I'll cloud your ears," Farah murmured. "Let me listen to it."

neva handed her phone over, covering her ears afterward

Farah waved her hand, using air magic to cloud Neva's ears as she'd promised. Then she hit play.
