Fly Until You See The Light

The Golden Wastelands - Chapter 1

She hopes that the Messenger to whom she gave the letter won't be late; Ojtaro and Symphony were serious. They will always wish for news about her journey to the Eye of Eden.

Here she is, now: Sentinekka is walking on the greenish and pollutted sand of the area of the Broken Temple. The sky is dark as the night, but not too much.

She can see some Child far away who is entering the first Krill area, even known as "the place of the first Moths' traumas". Yeah, the name explains for itself; so many little ones were scared when they went in the Wastelands for the first time. So was she. When she saw a Krill while traveling with Judylia, she instantly hid behind her back.

Sentinekka looks at the ruins that once were a temple. A beautiful and big temple that, during the wars in the realm, went down and slowly got overwhelmed by the Darkness. It was so pretty, once; she can say it, even thought she never saw that realm before everything happened.

She always liked to imagine how everything was before the Prince, the wars and all... She likes to think about a different Isle of Dawn, with green grass and blue skies, and she likes to believe that everything can be saved, one day, by someone who could take away the Darkness... Or, at least, she liked to think about that. When she still didn't know anything about the story of the King Resh. She knows perfectly well, now. She knows that the boy who is supposed to kill the Darkness doesn't want to do that, and she knows that no one can kill the Darkness because it always just existed as the Light did.

Darkness is useful for the Light, Light is useful for the Darkness: that's the truth! And it's amazing!

But no one understands. They all seem to strongly believe in a Kingdom made only of boring Light, but it's not possible.

Sky was born with Light and Darkness, and like this it will always remain. Forever. And it's better this way.

She sighs. «Let's go» she whispers, determinated.

While she walks and flies upon the corrupted water of the ruins, she calculates the time of her mission.

«Usually, it takes at least three or four days to cross the Golden Wastelands» she mumbles. «A day is equal to an area. If I skip the Shipwreck, I'll take three days in total to reach the Vault of Knowledge, which will need just one full day. I just must be concentrated on the mission, and not about...».

When she touches the ground again and walks in front of the first Krill's place, her eyes get distracted because of the same two Children of before. «... Moths and groups of newbies...» she finishes her sentence in a whisper, so they can't hear her.

They look kinda scared, and she feels like she should help them, but the most tall one - a young boy with short hair, a yellow cape and the typical beige and comfortable outfit - probably knows already what they should do. The yellow cape is from the Daylight Prairie's first Spirits, and it can indicate an advanced kind of "Moths". The Moths who already finished exploring the general realms, but that never went into a Special place like the Forgotten Ark or the Hall of Music.

About the other little boy... He's just a small Moth that looks too short to be of the right age to go in the Wastelands.

Oh, gosh. Let's just hope they don't get into troubles.
