With the urn in her hands, she walked in the water, not stopping until it covered her knees. The breeze was cool, causing her uncovered skin to shiver slightly, although her hair created a bit of protection against it.

Fly, fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining

The softest cloud, the whitest dove

Upon the wind of heaven's love

Past the planets and the stars

Leave this lonely world of ours

Escape the sorrow and the pain

And fly again

Dove began to sing, opening the urn while staring straight at the sky, as if she was trying to find heaven between the orange-coloured clouds.

Fly, fly precious one

Your endless journey has begun

Take your gentle happiness

Far too beautiful for this

Cross over to the other shore

There is peace forevermore

But hold this memory bittersweet

Until we meet

Her hands trembled as she continued with the song. Tears streamed down her face, while still looking up, not daring to look down for a second. She could feel the cold water soaking her dress, the waves trying to push her back. However, she stood there. Trembling but unwavering.

Fly, fly do not fear

Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear

Your heart is pure, your soul is free

Be on your way, don't wait for me

Above the universe you'll climb

On beyond the hands of time

The moon will rise, the sun will set

But I won't forget

Finally, she let the ashes fall to the water, sinking down and surrounding her before being washed away deep in the ocean. Her eyes were now staring at the water, watching the ashes leave her side. With a sigh, she prepared herself to sing the last part of her song. Just like the ashes, it was time to let Alder go.

Fly, fly little wing

Fly where only angels sing

Fly away, the time is right

Go now, find the light

A chirp resounded way behind her, far away, near the forest that surrounded District Four. A Mockingjay flew out of them, making its way to the beach, where it circled around until the rest of the Mockingjays, that had been staying for years next to her house, joined in.
