232 Second Stage of the Competition (1)

Adrianna was shocked beyond words. Through the lights that were illuminating from all around her, she could see a woman whose beauty was unearthly. She suddenly felt as though she was deeply loved and protected. She bent down on her knees as she could feel deep empathy and kindness in her heart. She wanted to embrace all the beauty that was spread around her, and not the beauty that was physical, it was coming from deep within. That higher being in front of her invoked feeling that were like a gentle stream over pebbles. Adrianna wanted to embrace her and be in peace. 

"No child, you cannot come to me so soon," said the Moon Goddess reading her mind. 

Adrianna's eyes became moist. "Do you know where my mother is?" 

"I am your mother," she replied.
