Caught up in the vision, Rydia headed forward. She smiled and waved to the people she passed, calling out their names and weaving her way around the giggling children that ran past her. As with last time, she headed toward her house. Her mother was waiting in the doorway, waving with a smile. Of course, she was older than last time, the result of over a decade in which she had raised her child in peace.

Rydia quickened her steps, ready to great her mother with a hug and tell her all about her day. Just as she reached out to do so, the image vanished. The summoner abruptly paused and turned away, tears forming as she was jolted back to reality.
