La Guerrera del tiempo by Starsea

la nana del tiempo

Theme: Whisper

It was always Hotaru's favourite part of bedtime. After Haruka's bedtime games and Michiru's music, Setsuna would come and say goodnight. It was always Setsuna who came last, because Setsuna was the one who was best at getting Hotaru to sleep.

She did this by telling Hotaru stories of what she had seen as the Time Guardian. Sometimes the stories were about people whose names were still recorded in history books. Sometimes they were about people who remained anonymous, but had nevertheless made a great impact on history: the kitchen maid who had left the fire burning in Pudding Lane; the company owner who had told the architect that so many lifeboats crowded the Titanic's decks; the unknown woman who had inspired Shakespeare's sonnets; the people who helped escaped slaves travel on the Underground Railroad.

Hotaru drifted off into sleep listening to Setsuna whisper the stories of the past and present; stories of realities that she would never see; stories of realities that would never be. A lullaby of unreality.
