Trip to the sky

chapter |6|: following the light

After a three hours walk, they finally managed to get out of the woods and found themselves on the side of a paved road, and right in front of them was a beach..

It was halfly covered with snow while the other half was covered with sand as normal, the sky was covered with the shiniest jewels of hers and of course the moon was the center of attention.. Though it wasn't a full moon anymore, it shined the brightest, and their reflection on the sea was priceless..

Both of the two were fascinated, they found it amazing so they couldn't just pass by it so the girl just crossed the road and sat down on the sands while Rynok followed her slowly without taking his sight from the sky and automatically sat down close to her..

"The stars are wonderful, don't you think so, little evil little girl?.."

He finally took off his gaze from the stars and turned to see the girl's reaction to his words, she pouted her lower lip and shook her head in agreement, he then turned his head back to face the sky again and continued saying in a lower tone:

"I want to be as wonderful as these stars.. They shine bright from there but they aren't actually in that place or maybe they are even dead.. I want to leave such a trace behind me.. I wish to have such an effect on the world.."

He stayed quiet for a while then continued:

"you know.. What's even more fascinating about them is that the whole world can see them..wow what an achievement!.."

While he was expressing himself with a tone that explained how desperate he was to achieve something like this, she was busy staring at the sky.. As if she was trying to catch one of those stars with her eyes and by the time he ended his sentence her blueish eyes shined as if they really catched a star!

She grabbed his sleeve and pulled it to get his attention and when he looked at her she Pointed her index towards the sky, more exactly towards a star.. He moved his gaze to follow her index and to know what she exactly wanted him to see.

"...polaris?"

He looked puzzled so he asked her to confirm if this was what she wanted him to see and she immediately shook her head to confirm it.

"well.. He sighed with surrender then continued with a smile on his face..

To be honest..

Polaris is the best one of them all.. It always guides people when they are lost, taking them to a clear destination"..

She carefully listened to his words and smiled her turn to show agreement.. Then she pointed her index towards herself after pointing it again at the north star, he changed his sight from the star to the girl trying to figure out what she wanted to say, but he just looked puzzled which made the little girl laugh hardly and that made him annoyed..

"oh! How can you laugh at me like that?! Huh? Little evil little girl!"

He tried to scold her to make her stop laughing but she laughed harder.

"what?! Do you think i'm stupid?! Then why don't you just talk to me and explain it yourself?!"

He asked for an explanation for what she meant to say but she didn't spit a word. instead, she used her index to scribble something on the sands..

He looked curious, he thought she was about to give him an answer so he read what she said out loud:

"fa..ther.. To..ld.. Me to.. Not.. Speak.. To.. Strangers?! Your father told you to not speak with strangers?!" he questioned what she wrote on the sand so she confirmed by shaking her head while smiling innocently, and what she just did made him lose his mind.. She just made fun of him while he was expecting a real explanation so he again felt annoyed..
