Sergo-Z When Death Fell In Love With Life - Inception – Home (part 5, in a 5 part story)

“What is my name”? she, trustingly pressed to his side.

“I will call you White,” the stranger said after a moment's thought and stroked her head.

“ Why- ytt… “the baby said in syllables, - “A strange name, but I like it!” She got to her feet and took a few hesitant steps. “I agree to be White!”

Sitting on the ground, the traveler enjoyed watching her movements. “You old schemer,” he muttered with a smile, remembering the slyly narrowed green eyes of the grey-haired wizard.

“And what is your name?” White came up audibly and touched his shoulder.

“Call me Grandpa,” the stranger smiled broadly.

“Grandpa,” as if tasting the word, said the baby.

This is a very beautiful name! The traveler sighed with relief and got to his feet. The small figure barely reached his waist with the top of her head.

“Let us go, granddaughter”? He said, holding out his hand to her.

“And where to?” White, looked inquiringly at the stranger.

“Home,” he replied.

White trustingly put her hand in the palm of her grandfather.

“What a good word, home. It's warm and smells like jam”, she smiled.

“You will have some jam”, said the Traveler, and two figures slowly moving away, melted in the rays of the setting sun.
