Autumn Provides
A year had passed whereas Autumn now called Blaze ‘Mother’. Unfortunately
her relationship with Matthew was still estranged. Autumn was watching her mother prepare their breakfast when she began to reminisce.
Recalling the day, six
months ago, how she and her father watched as Blaze commanded a fire ball to
break off and fetch wood from the forest. Obeying, the fireball resembled a dog
panting as it waited for the next command. “Become the master wood carver.” The fireball cut, carved, designed, and
coated a glazed finish, of 12 magnificent pieces of various sizes of wooden
frames.
Father
and daughter both awestruck, impatiently anticipated her reasons for creating
the frames. Leaving the small living area, Blaze entered Autumn’s bedroom, Her
father gave her a puzzled look. What seemed like forever, really took only
minutes. Blaze emerged holding all eleven of Autumn’s art work. Her heart started
pounding afraid of her father’s reaction to her artwork. She turned and saw her
father’s eyes showed first annoyance than admiration. Autumn noticed her father’s
eyes fill with water and she breathed out a quick sigh. Matthew never knew his
daughter had such talent. Matthew’s gazed at Autumn and he saw his daughter again
for the first time in two years.
Six of the portraits were of her father in various settings
and the other five were made of the town’s store and owner, Mrs. Allister and
her colossal home, the quaint church, the beautiful garden her mother had
planted, and the picture of a man, from her own imagination, standing in a
meadow waving. Looking at the art she realized that Blaze had made 12 frames.
“Mother why did you make 12 frames?” “I
have my reasons child, all will reveal itself in due time.” “What does that
mean?” Asked a confused Autumn. “You will know when the time is right.” “It’s
clear Mom is not going to give me the information.” Autumn thought. “Alright
I get it mother, I’ll drop the issue.”
She decided to draw a forbidden picture.
