Repeat, I did NOT draw this.
*****
Earth, more than 200 years after the Great War, Ranïa’s father James had a meeting on Earth, in Flanders France. Ranïa’s mother had a assignment far away , some several hundred hundred trillion light years away roughly. Even though the GTEC provide forms of day care and sitting for their agents James and Leanna never did take up that service, deciding to take their daughter where they went, sometimes on the field, but always kept safe.
The only time she wasn’t being taken care of by her parents was when she was in school or in training, her hands on experience out in the galaxy gave her great insight into other cultures and histories, and one history she was she became fascinated in was human history, just like her mother.
While James attended his meeting which started at 0600 Ranïa had thrown on her coat gave her dad a hug, gabbed her phone and some Francs and darted out into the fields of Flanders.
She jogged through the long trenches and scaled the parapets, she slowed down whenever she came by other tourists which there were a few since they were family members of other agents that her dad was having a conference with.
The kids there were of all races, Human, Mittin (like her mom) , Hyjewl and even a “Mutt” which was what she was, a mix. Seeing as how mixed species is rare and pregnancy for a mixed species is even rarer, and a successful birth with no long term defects is goddamned rare as hell, they became friends immediately.
Horse play wouldn’t be tolerated in such grounds but since there were so few people they had a small game of hide and seek, and it was Ranïa’s turn to hide, traveling not to far into some woods she found an old helmet, she knelt down in front of it, looking it over , it had been there for so long, that the grass grew around it, and also around it, were the flowers her dad had told her about on the rude to earth, the poppy.
He explained to her what that flower meant, how it brings a sense if pride and the importance of loyalty, especially to crown and country. “Family, Country, Duty” was her family’s motto, she learned these traits early, her parents were two renowned agents, noted for their loyalty to the Galactic Transit Enforcement Coalition, it wasn’t blind but grounded.
“Found you” a voice called from behind her as the young crossbreed boy walked over to her, he stood over her and then knelt down too, his demeanor was unexcited as he looked at the helmet, he reached out and dug his fingers underneath it to pick it up, but no sooner did his fingers touch the thing Ranïa stopped him.
“no” she said, “it stays” the boy didn’t need to be told twice as he was bored, he tapped her shoulder, “it!” it yelled as he ran off to hide, Ranïa smiled and got to her feet, she looked down at the helmet then back to her friend running off, gone now was he, she looked back down and said a prayer in her mother’s language and religion and left.
She didn’t come back to the command centre where her father was until 15:45, she had spent the whole day out on the fields and villages, she had spent her Francs on lunch and a bus pass and now was a bit tired having been on the bounce, her father had located her after he finished his conference, to her surprise he had finished his business on Earth.
They returned to their family ship and left France and Earth. Ranïa wouldn’t return until she was almost an adult.

I like especially the realism of poppy flowers (sorry it's so simple) the character and the stage are very well made, nice job :) ... it took me a bit to understand at first glance that it was a helmet
