Fly Until You See The Light

Passage - Chapter 9

«Congratulations, Joyz» the Guide of Passage begins. «But also to all of you. You completed the Lesson of today. The next one will be the last. I can happily notice that you instantly began to cooperate and be a real team, and I'm proud of you all». He's wearing his typical bear mask, but everyone can see his joy, hidden under it. He makes a gesture with his hands, and the shiny dust that appeared in the first quest moves from its place. It creates an amazing circle and, then, it flies around the Children. Surprised voices can be heard everywhere.

«You're free to go» the Guide concludes. «But don't forget: everything you learn must be in your memory forever».

Daily quests... Here she is, walking again in the Vault of Knowledge. She looks for the second time at the paper with the missions she should do. The last one of them is so... Uncommon.

Relive the memory of the Levitating Adept;Collect thirty pieces of Light;Forge a candle;Meet the Elder of the Vault.

Meeting the Elder? Why is it on her list?

Sentinekka knows that something is wrong, that this quest never appeared to anyone.

In these days, weird things happened. A book appeared on her bed, in the Village of Dreams. And it was not a normal book of stories: it contained a different kind of information. It was about the past! About the glorious times before the wars of the Crystals.

Oh, right: you probably don't know... The Crystal wars were four wars started by Tsadi. He wanted to stop the Darkness with them, but it didn't work as he thought.

Those wars made the Elders suffer even more, and it helped the Darkness to rise.

Sentinekka watches the paper piece. She has got that book in the traveling bag she usually uses for the dailies. She walks in the little area of the Adept while reliving the Spirit's memory.

And, to not get bored, she writes in her diary.

-----

Hi there, diary! I'm doing some quests for the Village, and I wanted to write up some stuff.

I already told you about that book I've found on my bed, but I never told you what was inside of it.

It's the whole story of the Kingdom.

I decided to read everything, and I don't miss many pages now.

To make it short: it says that, before everything, Megabird and the Darkness, which has literally no real name, created the whole world; Megabird is the goddess of Light - she has a gender, I never new that -, and Darkness is the god of the... Darkness. But, with them, there was someone else, someone we always knew: Aurora, in that book, is called the guide of the Children and the demigoddess of the Love.

They first created our world, divided it in six realms, and then gave life to someone that could rule each realm. Obviously, they created the common people like me.

There were six Elders, at first: Daleth, Ayin, Teth, Samekh, Tsadi and Lamed, and they were all peaceful and kind.

Then, Megabird decided to make a new human being without the other's approval, and she created the young Prince Alef. He was made of Pure Light - the first one, since the others were made of Light and Darkness putted together - and was taken by the Elders, to end up growing with them.

He was a really nice guy, a good and generous person, but the book says that he had a lot of pressure on his back.

Meanwhile, Megabird and Darkness had a fight for what happened. Aurora tried to stop them, but she couldn't. They never talked to each other again; Darkness decided to stay hidden, and Light chose to remain by the Elders' side.

When the Prince grew up, he finished the Trials that were supposed to teach him how to be a King, and he met Lamed. In fact, they never knew each other until some day before his coronation. He was going to become the Ruler of a new realm that was born time after the others.

They became best friends! Isn't it so weird? They were united as a family... But something terrible happened.
