Helping destiny
"Come with me mother. You don't have to stay here anymore" Lucian begged mother Destiny.
She looked at him with resignation, as if whatever she was about to tell him will hurt him.
"I cannot son. As soon as I keep my foot in that tunnel, the water will drown us faster than we can cross it. It will kill not only me but also all of you. I finally came to know my sons and daughter are living a happy life. I cannot kill them with my one single decision" she said sadly.
Lucian looked torn and a light mist of water can be seen in his eyes.
She looked away from him, from them towards the sky far away from them.
"Look at that" she pointed towards the sky far away from them.
They all looked in the direction she is pointing towards.
"What do you all see" she asked.
All they could see was a clear blue sky. Too clear without a single cloud and only a few fishes. Wait, fishes?
"Are they fishes in the sky?" Darius asked with shock.
