[The journal emits at first the sounds of sobbing before Leanne goes to speak, her voice a little hoarse from crying.]

Judging by what I have been hearing, these birds have been given to us as 'gifts'. Has anyone listen past their songs?

[She goes to take a deep breath before just shutting the journal once more to go back to crying. Anyone can find her in her room on the Sun.]

[She doesn't answer right away and before she does, she makes sure the conversation is private. For some reason, Rose just can't dodge a question like this from Leanne.]

It was the voice of a man named Zieg. Thousands of years ago, he was my fiancé when I was still mortal.

What about you?

[Leanne was glad for the silence, it lets her get some more tears and sobs out of her system but she listens to Rose's words and despite her own hoarse voice, tried to sound as warm and gentle as possible.]

I see and I am sorry....Zieg sounds like a strong name and knowing you, he had to be a wonderful man.

Mine isn't nearly as tragic as yours but it was the voice of my mother.

[Voice/Private]

[originaldragoon]

He was.

[Though what happened with Zieg was tragic, she does not doubt that what happened to Leanne's mother was also a tragedy as well.]

Do not measure your grief to others'. That is being unfair to yourself, since what happened with your mother was obviously painful.

[Voice/Private]

[song_princess]

But he was going to become your mate... Your husband.

[It was painful, too painful to think about.]

She sacrificed herself.... So that me and my sisters could have a chance to live when humans came into our forest and hunted us down and for over 20 years..... I believed that I was the lone survivor of those three days.

You lost your mother, and from the sound of it, you were still quite young when it happened and she was trying to protect you. To me that is just as tragic.

I was still being breast fed, though I was still old enough to remember everything about her. The bird.... it sang to me her lullaby and the last lullaby she ever sang to me.

[Voice/Private]

[originaldragoon]

I see. For me, it was the words he spoke when he proposed to me.

Though it hurts, I am actually kind of glad to hear his voice once more, even though it is temporary. It is bitter sweet and helps me remember him a bit better.

[Voice/Private]

[song_princess]

Yes, I must agree that hearing their voice again is bitter sweet....

[A long deep breath.]

If only though, even for one day we can see them in the flesh again.
