For the past 2 days, Rain stayed inside a quiet room for hours meditating and focusing her training on maximizing the use of her healing techniques. She would do some quick breaks to see John and Summer and join them during meals. John was still convincing Rain not to go. He insisted that their family is the most important thing and the only priority they need to care about at the moment.

Rain's decision to join the war breaks her own heart, but she has sworn an oath to the alliance of Carriers of the Seal. She knew that she would be helping more aside from her own family.

The time has come for her to leave, she took a few while to sit beside Summer's bed. Rain kissed Summer's cheeks and gave her a big warm hug.

"Goodnight Mommy," Summer whispered.

"Goodnight my baby Summer," Rain replied.

A tear fell from Rain. Summer noticed it a touched her mother's face.

"Mommy, are you crying?"

Rain replied with a smile, but that moment is the hardest for her. This is what she would miss if you won't get back from the war. Summer has no idea that her mother is leaving that night. Rain kept on brushing Summer's hair with her own finger until her daughter fell asleep. Rain left the room with a broken heart.

Rain entered the master's bedroom where John was sitting on a chair next to their bed.

"Please Rain, if I could do anything to stop you...."

"Don't speak as if I'm not coming back John, I will get back to you and Summer."

Rain kissed John and then gave him a very tight hug.

"I will stay up for awhile, just in case you change your mind and come back immediately."

John watched Rain as she lies down to bed and prepare herself to sleep.

"This is not goodbye John, It's just 'see you later'. "

John sighed, he gave Rain a really weary look.

John watched and waited until Rain falls asleep.

Hello SoL-mates, It's not that I ran out of words, but I intently kept this chapter short, focusing on Rain's emotion and her last moment with her family.
