Fly Until You See The Light

Wastelands - Chapter 7

Sentinekka flies above the giant and greenish stairs made of full stone that lead to the Battlefield. She almost got hit by a Krill that was passing by, but she hid behind a large and hard looking column that, centuries ago, was probably the entrance to a normal field. The Krill went away, and it looked kinda hungry.

«Sorry, my friend» Sentinekka whispered after the Krill changed way. «I won't be your dinner today».

She surely won't!

While she reaches her next goal, she looks at the jewel of the Vault. It's really beautiful, and she loves this kind of stuff.

She finally puts her feet on the ground. She's standing in front of the Battlefield... A place full of old shields and swords that belonged to strong people that wanted to fight for their Kingdom. Sentinekka always felt bad while seeing that.

«Why did this happen? They couldn't find any solution...? For real?» she asked herself for many times. And she does that again. «I'm sure» she thinks. «That, when I'll save the King, everything will go back to normal. No more pain. Darkness, Light and Love united. That would be amazing».

She smiles. Recently, she discovered that the Love was seen as the weakest power. What if it's actually the strongest? Aurora is so strong, after all... She knows how to be a Guide for all of the Children. Why would the Elders see her as weak?! Maybe they didn't know her well? Maybe they didn't want to admit her strenght?

She takes a step, one more, and she's always closer to the Temple. She only needs to reach it and she'll be safe. Two days already passed, but she won't stop until she reaches the temple of Tsadi. After entering, she'll wait until the next morning to talk with the Elder. Why? Because when she's tired, she doesn't listen well and she loses some points of the conversations she has.

Sentinekka uses the ability of flying of her cape to avoid the pollutted water of the Wastelands, and finally walks to the construction of an ancient entrance which leads to the temple. It's ruined, big, but it still stands after all of this time. It was supposed to be a garden, maybe? It kinda looks like one, but more dead and sad.

While she walks calmly, she notices the portal where you can relive the Seed of Hope's memory, the Spirit of the Lookout Scout, and many different broken weapons: spears and shields are so frequent, but she can also see flags of the Kingdom before the fall. They're tied at the spears as symbol of power. Power that, then, got destroyed. Weird coincidence, huh?

No one is in the realm: there's total emptiness and loneliness with her, but she doesn't care at all. She isn't traveling to get new friends; she's doing it to save lives.

Once again, she realizes how hard her mission is gonna be. She doesn't even know if she'll come back alive... Oh, she surely will! No silly questions now! Sentinekka must be brave as a warrior should! The ones who fought for the Kingdom were brave, and she respects them. She must imitate them and be proud, but without losing her concentration and skills. That's not hard, anyways.
