Fly Until You See The Light

Vault - Chapter 3

Not much time passed and she's still on the fourth floor. The Valley constellation is resplendent as a group of fireflies in the Daylight Prairie at night.

Sentinekka is standing still on a small island and is looking at a Light waterfall. It's blue and magical, and it glows in a charming way. How was it created? Did Lamed thought of a similar beauty?

If she did, that Elder is a genius.

When they created their realms, the Elders had a lot of amazing ideas: the Cave of Prophecies, the Sanctuary Islands, the Wind paths, the Hermit Valley, the Forgotten Ark... But the last realm is the amazing idea itself. The Vault has got the Starlight Desert, the dark blue floors, the Repository of Refuge... And they're all wonderful with their colors.

The Desert is loved by most of the Children of Light, as everyone says. Once, the inhabitants of the Village of Dreams made a survey about the best seasonal area: the Starlight Desert won with many votes! Yep, the Season of the Little Prince was a full success. The most adored Spirits are the Lamplighter and the Narcissist. And the thing of the Eden... Sadly, not many people finished that quest, and she is one of them. The Village always kept her away from the Eye of Eden, and she always listened to their advices.

She's a little bit tired of doing that. Is it alright? She hopes so, because she is not going back to the Village, now.

Anyways, the Vault of Knowledge is surely the prettiest realm. And that waterfall is ipnotizing, even thought it isn't made of real water.

-----

''Sometimes you have to make others talk too, right?''

The memories of her life surround her as a tornado would do, then they all disappear. What is going on? She should be in the Heaven now, not in that... Dark, hidden and scary place.

Where's the Shiny Person that people talked about? The human being who was supposed to take her away from the Darkness...

Where are the animals? And the voice of Aurora that she's supposed to hear? Why is there so much silence?

There is not a way out. Is she locked there?

Did the people of the Village lie...? No, they couldn't have lied to her. Not Auntie Mona too, she always told her amazing stories about the Heaven after the Eye of Eden...

«Oh, I can see you are scared, young girl» a voice says behind her in a pitiful tone. «Don't worry, everything will be fine, after all».

She turns around, but there is no one.

She doesn't ask who's there, she doesn't say a word. She soon realizes that she's not breathing.

Okay, that voice was a masculine voice. It must be someone important... Oh, why did she go in Eden? Stupid voice, stupid calls! They sent her there and, now, she is trapped in the nothing with another voice! She shouldn't have left the Village of Dreams without telling anyone about her experiences...

«Why so quiet?» the voice continues. It sounds ancient and strong, but not like the one of a warrior. It seems to be an elegant voice, but not like the one of an Elder. It's confusing, it sound like a mysterious voice like the ones she started hearing after that celebration in the Vault of Knowledge. She remembers that feast happened during the Season of Remembrance, and it was good at first, but then... «You should talk to a god. Do you know that?».

Oh, Megabird.

Or, at least... Oh, Darkness.
