Fly Until You See The Light

Eden (1) - Chapter 2

Sentinekka, in her letter, talked about the meeting with the Elder: about the words that Lamed said, about the fact that she'll die and come back, and about the risks Oj' will have to deal with, since both Light and Darkness will be able to hurt him if he tries to joke with them. He has to know, and his family too.

And, earlier, she noticed that the Isle Elder is not on the gate of Eden. Why? It is obviously connected to the Darkness and the wars. Maybe something bad happened during that terrible time. She didn't know this, but she wishes she did. Maybe the Vault Elder has the answers, but she can't just leave the Eden now. She must continue her journey.

While she walks on the way that is in front of her, she sometimes hides behind the stones that grew on the ground as they were shields that must protect her. Meteors are falling strongly and the wind is colder after every step she takes. She once thought that the Hidden Forest was a dangerous place. She wasn't sure, she was only a little Moth that was guided by an expert descendant of the Elders. Now she perfectly knows what she always deals with, and she is often reminding herself that she mustn't be scared. Everything will finish with a happy ending. To get that conclusion, she only must be hopeful and have the courage she always had inside of her mind, of her heart, of her soul.

Sentinekka looks at the stones after reaching another shelter. They're falling really fast, too much fast. She wonders if a Moth would be scared. They probably would, so she hopes that every Moth that was, is or will be in Eden had, has, or will have a good and kind veteran that will lead them. She's alone, but she is alone and also free. And she knows what her lime green eyes will see in these days that will come.

Finally, she reaches the "past entrance" of the realm. It is just a ruin now, but she has the feeling that it once was a kind of welcoming place for the newcomers like the Moths of today. A black dust and some fog mixed with the wind confuses her, but she doesn't really care much. She has to go without worrying about the many details... Oh, goodness, she just knows that she can't ignore the story that once belonged to that realm, that dead capital.

Under that construction, she sees a fire container, something similar to the typical lanterns that are supposed to give you energy to continue your trip. It looks just a little more ruined and old. It went through destruction, battles, Darkness and it is still here with some scrathes only.

Sentinekka puts her hand on the lantern. It is warm, and this makes her smile. The warmth of the Light is what someone needs the most in a place like the Eye of Eden, and she is glad that there isn't only Darkness in there.

«Are you enjoying the fire?».

Oh, a new Child! She looks like a veteran, an expert Child of Light. Someone who knows the Eden as it was their home.

She is tall and looks kind. She has got long and messy hair with two blue hair clips that create a couple of different and small tufts that gracefully fall on her shoulders. The girl is wearing a bordeaux, beige and brownish outfit from the Days of Fortune of the last year and brown boots with white pompoms. She has got a white and gold mask that looks like a cat. On her hair there is a golden tiara that comes from the Season of Aurora. The wings she has on her back come from that Season too, and they are azure and bright.

Timur has got a tiara like that one too, but not the wings and... Sentinekka instantly remembers some words he said about that accessory: only Messengers of the Stars have it. The Messengers of the Stars are people that are chosen by Aurora herself to represent the friendship, Love, constellations and coordination, and to send messages in the realms. They can have different symbols, as blue wings and the tiara, but also common cosmetics like a Seasonal necklace, a white and gold outfit similar to the ones of the Sky Guards. So... That girl is a Messenger of the Stars.

«Hello, I am Guwa. And you are someone that is living her first time in Eden» the girl continues with a nice smirk under her mask. «But what's your name?».

«Sentinekka. It's nice to meet you, Guwa!» Sentinekka answers politely. «You're right, I am new here...».
