War and Love: Why did Maquia decide to adopt a human baby boy?
In a war that destroys a village, Maquia, a young girl belonging to the mysterious human race Iorph, faces a choice between life and death. She witnessed the people she loved losing one after another, and could no longer endure the loneliness and helplessness. When she rescued a human baby boy from a destroyed reality, her life began to take a new journey.
"In the most desperate moments, love is the only force that can connect us together."
The Iorph to which Maquia belongs is a special race. They can live for hundreds of years and stop at the age of 14, so she has a different understanding of the passage of time than humans. In her race, emotional depth is the price of loneliness, a tragedy that keeps repeating itself. Yet her story shows us that the desire for love transcends life and death, even in the context of war.
The baby boy she saved: the beginning of love
Maquia rescued a human baby boy in an accident. This choice not only changed her life, but also allowed her to realize the true meaning of maternal love. The baby boy is the only survivor she finds during the war, and meeting him symbolizes hope and a new beginning. She named him Ariel and vowed to give him a safe and loving environment.
"In this chaotic era, I found a glimmer of hope. This is my weapon against loneliness."
After that, Maquia and Ariel embarked on a journey of mother and son life. Although their life is simple, Maquia's passion and persistence make this relationship extremely precious. For her, Ariel is the only person she can be attached to and love, and it is all within her ability.
The coexistence of love and loneliness
As time passes, Ariel grows up, while Maquia begins to face the challenges of the age gap as she remains in adolescence. Ariel's independence becomes stronger and stronger, and he begins to try to establish contact with the outside world, which makes Maquia's inner loneliness more and more serious. This emotional conflict is her struggle between love and loneliness.
"To me, love is short-lived, but it is eternal."
When Ariel chooses to join the army, Maquia is forced to face the pain of loss. She understands that all this is a necessary stage in life, even though her heart is full of uneasiness and anxiety. This sense of separation tortured her all the time, but she also understood that it was this love that allowed her to overcome loneliness and fear.
The End of War: The Power of Love
After a special war, the fates of Maquia and Ariel are once again intertwined. The encounter between the two in Kucheng made them re-examine each other's roles. Maquia told Ariel her own mental journey and expressed to him the true meaning of mother-son love. Ariel gives birth to her own child, which makes Maquia feel the passage of time and the accumulated emotions from generation to generation.
"Although our lives are short, love makes our existence worthwhile."
In the last part of her life, Maquia returned to her hometown again, where the Iorphs finally found a chance to be reborn. And in seeing Ariel again, Maquia finally released all the emotions in her heart. She realized that the so-called love will last forever in her heart no matter what, even if she has lost the person she loved most.
Maquia's choice makes us think about how to balance the choice between "love" and "loneliness", and how to face separation and reunion in life?
