The Eden Run

Requested by The_Firelady

Time for some Moth and Co shenanigans! You, an inexperienced moth, join your cool veteran friend on an Eden Run. But not without a few complications along the way.

Key things:

(Y/N) is your name.

The veteran's name will be Nefalli (Random name I came up with) how they look is up to your imagination ^^

Enjoy!

"And then, I did the backflip twice! On the ice nonetheless! It was so cool..."

You rambled your story the time you went skating with Yume, a young skater from the Village of Dreams. "Mhm, that's nice..." Your friend, Nefalli, replied. Although they didn't seem to be truly attentive to your tale. They were distracted at something else. You frowned slightly. "Fall, are you listening? What are looking at..." You followed their gaze and from the north, you could see the red storm miles away. Eden.

Nefalli sighed deeply. "I can feel it calling out to me, (Y/N)."

"'Calling out to you'?" You echoed, doubt in your voice. "What, is it like, 'Oooh! Nefalli! Come forth to certain death!'" The veteran snickered a little and soon their solemn gaze returned. "In way, something like that. But it's a more deeper meaning than just dying."

You crossed your arms. "I don't understand why anyone would want to go there. From what I've heard Eden's horrible." Nefalli gently patted you on your head, ruffling your hair a little. "That's because you haven't gone yet. You'll understand when you're older my friend. At some point, you'll need to do this." They started to walk away and spread out their wings, ready to take off. They looked back at you and winked. "I'll see you later." Then they took off towards the direction of the storm.

As you stared at Nefalli's fading figure, their words reverberated within your mind. 'At some point you'll need to do this.' To do what exactly? What happens in Eden other than perishing in its red wrath? And when will you hear that mysterious voice to tell you to go? Before you even knew it, you took flight off the grassy hill and caught up with Nefalli. They perked up in surprise when you suddenly appeared next to them.

"(Y/N)? Is there something you need?" Asked Nafalli. You nodded. "Not me, but you need me." You replied back. It took Nefalli a few seconds to understand what you meant. "(Y/N), go back. I'm going to Eden alone."

"Of course you are. That's why I'm coming with you!"

"Were you even called to go?"

You rolled your eyes. "Fall, I don't need some wacko voice from the beyond to say what I can and can't do. I shouldn't judge Eden if I never went, so how bad can it be?"

~~~~~~

Harsh wind lashed at your face and you shivered against its might. The giant door to Eden loomed menacingly at you and your friend. One look at it and it made you deeply regret your choices.

"Well, I take back everything I said. Let's go home and eat crab cakes!" You turn to leave but you felt Nefalli tugging at your cape, preventing you to run away. "Oh no you don't. You chose to come here and you're going through with it." They said sternly. "Plus, the vault already closed, there's no going back." Your eyes flew wide with panic. "WHAT?!" You ripped away from Nefalli's grip and towards the vault's door, pounding your fists on it desperately. You slumped down after fruitless attempts. To your reluctance, you trudged back to Nefalli. The veteran eyes soften and filled with sympathy. "Don't worry (Y/N), you won't be alone! I'll be here every step of the way!" Nefalli said cheerfully and held your hand, heading towards the six stones that needed to be lit up. You still looked miserable.
