Sky: Children of the Light

Valley of Triumph

Ariving at a more snowy area and the sunsetting in the distance, I can see that we are getting closer to the mountain.
"Ur about to meet my favourite Elders soon. Ooohh I'm so exited. I rember being here for the first time and I fell in love with the place!" Sarah said exiting.
"Sare, calm." Willaim said trying not to smile by the fact that she called her nickname.
"Ohh comon don't be so...bossy! The kid is fine. Enjoy urself."
"Yeah, no worries of me William!"
I said little angry.
He softly rolls his eyes
"Hm.." He slightly groaned as he puts his hand in Sarah's. Sarah almost screamed from happiness and takes mine fastly. We glide through the snow downhill.
"WHOOOO!" She shouted as we went down faster.
"ARE U SURE THIS IS SAFE?!"
"OFCOURSE. LET IT SLIDE!"
We yelled.

At the end we softly glide down into the snow.
Around us is only ice.
Sliding more into the snow we drop down on the ice and slided over ice while Sarah did some stunts.
Impressed I clapped my hands softly.
"Why thank u lady." She laughed slightly. She takes us up in the air and we fly into another aria.

Ariving at the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.
I see Sarah looking at me in the corner of my eyes, but I ignore her as I look in suprisement of how beautiful it was.
"Welcome to the Citadel. My favourite place in the Valley."
In the air are huge rings forming a ball in the middle spinning around.
The beautiful bridges and little towers make the place seem out of a movie.
We land on top of a bridge and sit down to enjoy the view.
I see William with his hands on his knees and breathing quite heavily.
"He's already tired. I might question that he has a fear of heights but...he always said he doesn't."
She shrugged her shoulders and looked in the distance with a smile.

William got up again almost falling over. He came to us and sat next to me.
"Sorry about that. Needed a break." He still breathed heavily.
I look around at the place and see him staring slightly at Sarah.
"So u too are partners as in lovers?" I slowly say.
"Well *nervous laugh* I did call him 'my man' when we met but were not officially together."
She said with a soft smile.
"Take it as friends with benefits kid." William said looking away from Sarah.
"You too would be cute together not gonna lie."
"We know." Sarah said in full siruesment
"Then-"
I feel William slightly touching my leg to stop.
He slightly frowned and looked sad or disappointed.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to him
Sarah didn't say anything but still enjoyed the view.
"Alright. Are we ready to race?" She said while standing up.
"Wait what?"
She nods and helps me up.
"Get ready cuss we are not slowing down for u kid."
"This race is amazing u will love it."
William said as he got closer to the edge and made a backflip, perfectly flying towards the little temple.
"U can take my hand if u want."
she winked
I take her hand and we drop down to the tower.
Flying the air into my face made me feel free.
I did a barralroll in the air surprising Sarah.
"Nice one!"
Sarah supported as we land inside the temple and the gates are starting to open.
"Ay! Don't start witout us Wils!"
Sarah said while calling his nickname.
I try not to comment on it but deep inside I found it cute. Such good bestfriends.
Holding the hand of Sarah tight as we death stare at William, ready to race.
The gates opend and we ran quickly sliding down the hill.
"U see those lights. Catch as many as u can to score points."
"On it!"
Grabbing lights while she races down, I can see William just behind us.
"So far we are in the leas, keep going he's close!" I say to her.
As we went faster and sometimes doing some tricks for fun, I grab all the lights I can. Collecting them on the back of my cape.
Going down the final hill, I look infornt and see a huge coliseum. That's probably the end of the race. Grabbing the last lights, I can hear the trombone and other music instruments playing an exciting theme that fits into the race.

Seeing William in the distance while we make our twirl in the middle of the coliseum being the 1st into the race with the most points.
"BOOM!" Sarah shouted.
William came up to the stage right next to us out of breath.
"Ah...u done this way too much dear." Sarah laughed at him as we received candles as a gift for participating.

Looking back and looking at all the empty seats in the arena made me wonder if this was ever full.
"Wow this is huge! Theres no way this was ever full, right?"
"Hmh, you thought? One of the biggest artist was here few months ago. Whole stadium full of sky kids. Around 4000."
"WHAT!?"
"We were one of them." Said William proudly while he brushes his shoulders off

Waw just the thought of this whole stadium full of people made me already nervous.

Sarah letted go of my hand allowing me to explore the arena.
Going up the stairs and walking a full sircle around while I look in the middle at them.

■Sarah Pov■
"We have an audience."
I say making eye contact with William. I know he has feelings for me he's just so stubborn to admit it.
"Really here? Infront-"
I put my finger on his lips.
"So what? Even Nini finds us a good couple. How long have we been best friends? For at least 2 years. I know u have feelings."
He started to blush slightly as I danced around him.
"Fine. Let's just do our dance and get this over with." He grunted and takes my hand.
We stand in our positions our head up looking forward. I see Nini going into the middle section and sitting down looking at us and admired.
Counting down in my head the music started to play in my imagination.

■Nini Pov■
Sitting down in front of them waiting to see what they will do...
I can see a slight smile on Williams face.
Sarah twirled around and they started their dance.
Elegent and freely, she moves like a little ghost.
Sometimes lifting her up in the air.
She even closes her eyes sometimes to feel herself freely move. She has alot of trust.
With the ending pose I got up and clapped for them.
"AMAZING! WOOOOO!" Echo's through the stadium as they took their bow.
"Never again." I hear William say softly.
Sarah bursts into laughter.
"We haven't done that in months it was way to long."
"Aww u guys made it urself."
"Shhhhut uppp...." William groaned.
We laugh slightly and got into the temple ready to go again.
Lighting up the candles. Sarah puts a big smile and a thumbs up before I enter.
"Have fun with them." She said as the portal closed.

We are in the arena again but at night. I look around and see no Elder... strange?
When I heard a sound from behind I look behind me and see someone standing.
Doing a move to the side revealing that there are 2 Elders.
That's why Sarah was talking in multiple people.
They look identical so I'm guessing they are twins. One girl other boy.
They had paddles like sword object in their hands.
They jump infront of me.
The girl elder sat on her knee asking for the fire that I was holding, but the brother came infront and asked to give it to him.
Fighting over it, the brother took the flame and threw it up in the air catching it again.
The sister tried to take it back by swinging her paddle at him but he dodged it and with a hard slam he sended the fire up in the sky. Winning over it and ending the scene.
Ariving in the world again with the doors opening to the next area.
"So what u think?"
"It was great. I like this place." I say.
Sarah silently shouted "yess!" While making a fist.
Holding eachothers hands we continue the journey.
