Fly Until You See The Light

Prophecy - Chapter 12

Fiery lights come at him, but he manages to avoid them every time. It's almost done, he feels it in his heart.

He quickly jumps from one Light source to another to prevent the Darkness from consuming him, and again, again, no matter which direction he is taking. At least it never matters, since the Light always takes to the right place in the Trials.

Far away, he can hear the sound of the bad fire, or how he calls it, and he is able to shun it with a fast move.

«My abilities are becoming useful» he thinks, smirking. «Not bad, not bad».

Ojtaro already understood that his Trial is doing well. He didn't spend much time in there, but he feels like he's not gonna stay there for long. That's strange: the fire is easier? That's surprising, since he thought that the Trials were all difficult at the same level.

Maybe it's really the crown? Or it's just the way he is inside that leads him so fastly to the end?

He's too much joyful to give credit to the second question. It's obviously the gift. He's good at sports and similar, but not like this.

That's funny! The Trial is funny! Ifarara will be really glad.

«I can't believe it...» Alaje whispers in Ominira's ear, who smiles, surprised.

He managed to complete the Trial of Fire in fourty-five minutes or something like that, and he liked it.

Everyone is shocked, and Oj' should too: he finished the Trials, he'll be finally free from them, but everything he can think about is the letter that is probably waiting in front of his tent: Sentinekka's letter.

It didn't come in the afternoon: guess the time of Messengers changed.

«Not even Alef did it...» Ṣayẹwo says smiling. She puts a hand on Ojtaro's shoulder as she always does when she's proud of him. «I knew you were born to be great».

«Only?» Ifarara asks in his strong and prideful tone. «This young man is the Light itself! It's amazing! He'll be surely better than...».

«Shh» Alaje makes him get quiet.

Ṣayẹwo doesn't like hearing the others mentioning the Prince. Only she can, sometimes.

Time ago, Ojtaro found her in front of the totem, and she was looking at the stones and their colors.

They had a discussion for some time, and he finally discovered that she once was really different from how she is now.

«I wasn't a good Prophet. I thought that being cold was a good choice. Everyone was cold with him...» she told him with a melancholy face. «But I was wrong. This was bad for the Prince. It's my fault».

«It's not only yours» he tried to comfort her as a good student would do, and he kinda did it. At the end of that moment, he saw a small change in her, and she was surely feeling better. The Prophet of Water feels guilty for what happened to the Kingdom, but she's only a little drop of the chaos that made the Prince lose control.
