Fly Until You See The Light

Valley (2) - Chapter 6

Hello diary! It's always me, Sentinekka, known as your favorite owner!

I'm just joking, don't worry! It's just that I'm feeling so happy in this moment! Do you know why?

Well, Ojtaro is here with me! I met him in the Vault this morning, while doing the quests for the Village of Dreams. Sadly, Judy wasn't able to come with me and Orlando today... And, as for him, he didn't sleep well last night either. His nightmares keep getting worse, I can feel it. So I was alone until I saw Oj' again.

Now we're walking towards the Daylight Prairie, so I can finish the missions and walk around with him for a bit. Here are today's missions - sorry for killing you with lists and information about the past, but that's how I am! - :

First I must take in the golden Light of the Prairie;Then I have to ride a Manta of Light;Admire the Lightseekers' sapling;Meditate in the Butterfly Field.

Well, it'll be pretty easy... I hope. Every mission has something difficult, a doubt that rises in me. Each mission is connected to the past, who knows how.

I decided to give the missions an order so that I don't have to run around like a little fool. Today's order - I've already completed the Vault, but I guess it doesn't matter now since it's done - is as follows: sapling, meditation, golden light and Manta.

«You seem like a very organized person... What is this due to?». Oops, it's Ojtaro. Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back.

«Thank you. Being the Missionary of a Village like the Village of Dreams comes with many responsibilities» Sentinekka explains with a proud tone. Then she laughs. «It's just that I like that job and I want to be helpful for the realm. That's all».

«It sounds nice, I wonder how it feels» Ojtaro thinks aloud. «Working for other people... Do you really like it?» he adds, confused. He never helped much the others, excluding his family and the young Moths. He wants to be free, not to be in chains just to help someone... Wait. He always... He always helped the others, and that's how he met Sen'... But why does he feels like he's alone, like he's a rebel guy who never comes out from his hidden place?

«It feels like heaven!» Sentinekka exclaims, prideful. «How can you not know it?».

«Huh?».

«Silly, you helped me, and Symphony, and so many other people! Did you forget it?». Well, she's smart anyways.

«I didn't... I don't think I'm that helpful» he admits.

«You don't? You should know that I'm still grateful for what you've done; you have been my guide and for me it's a really beautiful thing!».

«Fine, okay! Calm down, ore mi, alright?».

Sentinekka stares at him in confusion. She gasps. «Yoruba! I did not know you could talk the ancient language of the Kingdom!» she shouts, excited. Then, she asks, intrigued:«What does it mean?».

«It means "my friend"» Ojtaro explains, even thought he hoped she wasn't gonna ask him. He hates when people ask the meaning of something in yoruba, but Sentinekka is still Sentinekka. Ignoring her question would be really bad. «Why are you surprised?» he asks with a derogatory laugh. «I will be an Elder, a new Ruler. I must know this useless and stupid stuff». His cold tone sounds like Teth's one. How terrible. He doesn't like the moments when he looks like the Elders, because they are...
