Fly Until You See The Light

Wastelands - Chapter 10

So, diary dear. You are probably wondering what happened when I met the Elder Tsadi: it happened faster than I thought.

I lighted up the candles of his statue and "poof", here I was, into his personal part of the temple. A Light was coming behind the place he was going to land on - you know he always ascends from the sky to make people think he still has a reason to fight - and I exactly knew what was going to happen: he came, and instantly noticed something. You don't know a thing that is connected to that "something": in the Graveyard, a bird from the Isle of Dawn reached me and gave me a stone of the Vault of Knowledge, which then turned into a really pretty necklace that I'm wearing even right now.

Tsadi noticed the symbol of the Vault, he asked me where I found it, and I told him the truth. I'm already hiding something to my friends, I won't hide anything else and I'm promising it. He was quite shocked: seeing an unknown and normal young girl receiving a gift from an important Elder is really weird and uncommon, after all. And seeign a girl telling the truth about this experience is even more weird and uncommon!

His reaction was quite normal, and I understood why he felt like this. He asked me a few questions, and I answered as I should do. He decided to let me go after some time, but I didn't tell him anything about my mission, obviously. No one should know about this, it's the only secret I have and I'll have to keep it for me, even thought it's hard to hide something like this. I feel like I should have told my friends, but I know that they have to think that I'm just saving a friend. I'm actually going to save a friend, an amazing boy and a King. Oh Megabird, again: why me, out of all the great Children of the Light that exist?

Sentinekka looks at the temple for the last time. It is still a really beautiful place, it matters like the others. It might be ruined, but it can be fixed, it just needs some more attention than the one it gets.

She helped the Spirits of the Remembrance with many other kids, and they all repaired the Repository of Refuge... Maybe they all could do the same with the temple, and everything could be so beautiful! She already can imagine herself with different Children while making the Kingddom a better place!

Does she really have to help King Resh to save her Kingdom...?

«Hey, you!» someone calls her. The voice sounds like the one of a Child of her age. She turns around and sees a girl with a plump ponytail, a broken grey mask of the Abyss, a really adorable black suit with rainbow details and a simple white cape. She looks so pretty! «I'm sorry if I bother you...» she begins. Sentinekka smiles and bows at her, who reciprocates.

«You don't bother, don't worry» Sentinekkka tells her calmly. «Do you need something?».

«Your voice» the girl answers nervously.

Sentinekka hesitates to answer, confused. Then, she finally says:«Excuse me?».

Okay, that's strange.

«To make it short...» the girl begins. «I have to do a small concert in here and I was wondering if you could help me; I already saw and heard you singing in the Village of Dreams with a friend or two and I ended up knowing you as a really good singer, so...».

«Why are you... Doing a concert in the Golden Wastelands?» Sentinekka asks her, curious. «It's kinda dangerous here».

«It's my favorite place, my ancestors were warriors of the Wastelands!».

«Wow, that's cool!».

«Thank you; so, are you in? I know you can sing the songs of our principal Guide pretty well».

«If you don't have anyone else to choose, I'm in. I just know I won't stay too long, I have something important to do».

«It's fine».
