Sentinekka walks into the corner behind some houses. She sees Orlando, who's trembling as he never did in his whole life.
«The... The... Twins?» he stutters, incredulous.
«Orlando?» she asks his friend. «Are you alright? Someone told me you were... Uhm... Alone and that you were searching for me».
He hides behind her. «Why are the Valley Elders here?! They... They told me that they... They wanted to talk to... To you! What did you do?» he exclaims, worried. Orlando is attached to her, he's literally hugging her by the back.
Sentinekka looks confused. «What are you saying?».
Orlando doesn't have time to try to explain the situation better, when two silhouettes appear in front of the two friends: it's really them? The Twins of the Valley of Triumph?
Sah and Mekh look at her with untrusting eyes.
«Good evening» the first starts. «How you doin'?».
Mekh shakes her head. «We're not here to socialize, brother».
«Are you still mad at me because you are overrated?». Sah snorts and the other glares at him with eyes that reminds the Children the pure ice of the Valley. Typical. Do they really have...
«Who the honk are you calling overrated?!».
... To fight?
«You are really overrated, Mekh. Accept the truth».
«You are the overrated one, not me, you idiot!».
Why? Sentinekka sighs.
«Uhm... My Elders?» Orlando calls them to get their attention with some fear in his voice. He has always been respectful with the Elders, and he has always been scared of them. «You... Did you wanted something from my friend, Sentinekka?».
«Oh» both of the twins realize that the person they wanted to talk with is right in front of them, staring at their behavior in total confusion. «Yeah» they add.

«I almost forgot about the Lessons of the Passage!» Youssef looks interested in the topic of their discussion. He, Symphony and Tewezo started a conversation with Ojtaro. They wanna know more about the event that will start in some time, and Ojtaro is explaining them a lot of things, mostly the future arrival of the Season of Passage, a whole chain of Lessons that will teach to the Children of Light how to become better people...
«Exactly. You all have to come. No one is excluded» Ojtaro precises.
The boy has his hands behind his back, as if he's hiding something, when in reality he's just trying not to give Youssef a slap or two. His voice giving him a headache. Elders don't have headaches.
«What about the Seasonal Spirits?» Tewezo asks, curious. «Do you know them?».
«Guys, do you really want to ruin the surprise?!» Symphony exclaims, surprised. «Come on, just be patient!».
Okay. She saved Tewezo and Youssef's life. Ojtaro was going to make them suffer for their whole lives just because of their impatience.
He hates impatient people. He hates a lot of stuff... He should change that. Maybe.

«Listen kiddo, we only want you to make sure our dear descendant doesn't put himself in troubles, alright? He is rebel. We think that you are the only one who is able to control him» Mekh says, crossing her arms and looking straight at Sentinekka, while Orlando stares at her in shock. He just discovered that Ojtaro is a future Elder.
«I am the only one....?» Sentinekka asks them, amazed.
«Girl, who else can make Ojtaro play an instrument or even sing?! Not us, that's certain» Sah exclaims, sighing. «Now, me and my overrated...».
«You are overrated!».
«...Sister» Sah continues, as his twin never interrupted him. «Have to go to our temple. Good luck and thanks for the collaboration!».
And.... They disappear.
«You can vent» Sentinekka tells Orlando, patting his shoulder with affection.
«Ojtaro is an Elder?!».
