Prayer for the Guardians

She walked across the beach, barefoot on the glass and wearing no jacket in the rain. Her brown hair was soaking, but looked shining and styled in the rain. Her skin was tan, but seemed a pale white in the afternoon light. Her little black dress seemed like rags as she walked alone, all alone on the beach. As she reached the end of the beach, she kneeled on her knees with her back straight and her hands in a praying position to the sky, rocks and sea.

"Dear mortal guardians,protectors of the human kind, savior of our innocence, guardian of our lives...My sister Uula drowned a few days ago......I loved Uula like a mother, cause my real mother is married to a new man who I don;t like....Uula could always swim really well. It was like she could breath underwater! She'd go down for hours and hours and come back perfectly fine! One time, I tried to follow her as I saw her dive. But as soon as I went down, I couldn't breathe. It was like the water didn't want me there, it hurt me but Uula swam up and as soon as she touched me, I could breathe. I often called her Ariel as a joke.....But she's gone now...They say she drowned, taht she was stupid to go out alone. I don't believe them, Uula was special, she could do things you couldn't believe! With water, she was the princess, she was the controller! My mother always said Uula took after her father, some guy called Porieton or something, that had left her. And I think she did. Cause Uula had black hair and green eyes like the sea, but I have brown hair and normal brown eyes.....Mortal guardians, please, I beg you to look after my sister wherever she is. I promise to repay you guardians, I promise! Just please, save my sister....Amen..." The girl yelled to the sky but finished in a whisper.

The girl sat there for a while before starting to sing in a sweet small voice to the rain.

Skies of grey, why so sad?

Why don't you cheer up for me.

Skies of grey, don't be mad...

I just want you to be free...

Sands of time, why so small?

Why don't you grow with me.

Sands of time, why so tall?

Why don't you be small with me.

Sea of waves, why so strong?

Why can't you be nice for me.

Sea of waves, why so long?

Why can't you be nice to me......

The End...
