Fly Until You See The Light

Vault - Chapter 6

... But we all know, at this point, what Sentinekka likes to do the most in the Vault.

Her favorite part is riding the Mantas that will take her to the final floor: she loves to feel the warmth of the Light creatures and to smile at them, thank them for their favors...

Sentinekka waits for a Cosmic Manta to fly near her and, when it comes, she makes a small leap and finds herself at the top of the creature, which sees the presence of the young girl as an amusing fact.

She chuckles. «Hey, want to go to the last goal?».

The Manta doesn't hesitate and brings her, with calm and graceful movements, to the final floor. Sentinekka, during that small trip, strokes the Manta's transparent and shiny surface. Mantas are adorable! They're one of her favorite animals, and legends tell that they're capable of reading the emotions of the Sky people! Isn't that amazing? They're like their Elder... Lamed is capable of many things, and so her creatures are.

At the end, she can feel her feet touch the groud. The Cosmic Manta makes a funny and welcoming sound and, then, it flies away. Sentinekka reached the Meditation Point of the Vault, and now she only has to meet Lamed before going into the realm everybody's scared of. Or, at least, the biggest part of the people...

The grass is green as a bunch of emeralds, the flowers are blue as sapphires, and the sky has the color of a dark blue diamond. The starts are bright in it, and they make a beautiful view for Sentinekka, who stares at it in enchantment. It's always so amazing.

«Here we go...» she whispers to herself. Her voice looks so calm, but also so scared of the future. When she gets into something, she doesn't know how to react. She still thinks she can't feel two things at the same time, but she's feeling excitement and fear together.

Sentinekka, while she's walking to the stone of the Elders, breathes in and out to keep her cool. She must avoid to do too many questions to an Elder. Respect fisrt, if we talk about deities.

She makes a step, another one, again one, and she reaches the candles that she should keep alive to encounter the Elder Lamed. She lights the white and pure candles with her red flames and, now, everything is ready for the meeting... She just needs to think for a bit, as she didn't do it for the whole time.

When she'll see the Elder, she must say something, she must discover what happened at Lamed's friendship with everyone during the wars. She needs to know more things, like why the Elders insisted about having Ojtaro as an Elder if he never wanted to be one of them, or why they didn't try to fix what is broken. Sentinekka must also understand if the Eden will be dangerous as everyone describe it, she must get the reason of its dangers.

She needs to be ready for what she will deal with in the so called "Hell" of the Kingdom of Sky.

Dragons? Darkness? Suffocating or poisonous flowers? She can't just go in Eden and get traumatized because of something that she doesn't know.
