Saffron PoV
I found myself in a white void. Where was I? Was this the afterlife? It wasn't like the stories said. I thought the underworld was a grim a shadowy cavern with rivers and fields of flowers.
Regardless of where I was, I had to return to my family. I couldn't stay here for too long.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out from the distance, warm and comforting. "Saffron…"
I turned around, my heart racing. The voice felt so familiar, igniting a flicker of nostalgia within me. As I spun, I saw a figure emerging from the shimmering light. A man stood there, his features illuminated by a gentle glow. He had striking green eyes, just like my little brother's, and a smile that radiated warmth and kindness.
"Pa?" I gasped, disbelief washing over me.
His smile grew wider, and he stepped closer, arms open. "Look at ya! Ya so big now! Time sure flies, huh? Granted, I don't know how much time has passed since my death."
