196 Meeting Again For The First Time

Just as Bai Lei and I walk out of the white and golden palace, two guards walk over leading a familiar woman in white. My mother. I quickly walk over and ignore the two guards as I wrap my arms around my very real and very warm mother. 

Her scent hits me, instantly bringing tears to my eyes. Her smell was even familiar... She quickly wraps her arms around me and hugs me back as she whispers "Silly child, you could have been hurt." I chuckle a little and lean back to look her over. 

She looks like she could be my older sister or my aunt... she doesn't look very old at all! And to my surprise, we do share similar features! Her dark eyes take me in over and over as she gently runs her hands through my silver hair with a sad smile.
