Fly Until You See The Light

Eden (1) - Chapter 7

This is the first time I update this diary after entering the Eye of Eden. You didn't know, but now here I am, sitting on a beige and ruined ground and laying on an old sculpture of a fire container. It is ancient, really, and I noticed that it has triangle patterns on its surface.

To be short: I reached the end of the second stage of Eden, the past capital of the Kingdom. This realm has got three stages.

In my journey, which started yesterday, I met a new friend called Guwa. She is my age and she is a Messenger of the Stars, just like Timur, Judy's friend. I don't know if I said much about him inside these pages, but he's really a good Child of Light. I told Guwa about my mission, and she instantly decided to help me. It was really nice of her!

She's now resting near another statue, while I'm writing here.

That's right, it's time to sleep now, but I still have got something more to say.

You probably don't know much about the Eden, so I gotta explain to you what I know; it may be helpful, one day! Oh, who knows?

Anyways, the Eden has three stages, I told you that. I crossed the first and second one, and they were kinda hard and dangerous. There was a rain of rocks and a bunch of Krills and, trust me, these things were determinated to kill me and Guwa.

But... Don't worry, we're both safe and sound! We took the Winged Lights that were inside of a ruined construction and we're now resting for tomorrow. When the night will pass, me and Guwa will start to go through the last stage, the part of the story that is supposed to kill us both. It won't, actually. We'll die, but we'll have to deal with a rebirth. That is how Eden works.

Lamed explained many things. She even said that I should not trust many people here, but I only met Guwa, and there must be a reason. Maybe, someone wanted me to meet just her and not anyone else.

But now, I have to sleep. Tomorrow will be a painful day, I know this. About you, don't worry. In some time, everything will be just fine. And the Light that was once lost will be reborn again.

«Did you finish the letter?» Guwa asks her with an impatient tone.

Sentinekka is writing her message for the Isle, knowing that it will be the last one she'll send for a while. This one is the longest she wrote during her journey.

«Not yet» she answers without stopping. «You know that I won't be able to write any more letters by today, and I want my friends to be calm. They might be already worried as a Spirit without a home, and I don't want to make them have a seizure».

She has to finish the last sentence and she's done. A final symbol, and here it is.

«Finished» Sentinekka tells the other, who smiles and makes a sarcastic applause.

«Oh, stop it!» Sentinekka exclaims with a bothered look. «You know that I needed to write that message!».

«Are your friends so heavy?» Guwa asks her, amused.

«Friends are never heavy» the other replies with a scolding stare. «They are the people that understand you, and they're always proud of you or worried. They care for you, that's why I care for them as they do for me».

«Don't worry, I wasn't serious about that».

«Better for you, Guwa» she concludes. «Let me just find a birdie that can help me deliver the letter... Then we'll go».

Sentinekka uses a call that she learned from a Spirit of the Daylight Prairie to attract the attention of some possible birds. The calls that the Children learn from Spirits are always useful to call different creatures like the Mantas, or the fishes, the birds, the Cosmic Mantas and the Jellyfishes...

Finally, after some seconds, a white as a snowflake bird reaches her. It looks adorable as the ones from the Isle of Dawn, but it also seems to be from the Forest because of its way of flight.

«Could you please send this to the first realm, at the Passage Stone?» she asks to the bird. The creatures takes the letter with its claws and flies away without even responding at the girl's question with a sound. It's not like the birds of the Isle: they always say something. Ah yes, that bird literally comes from the Hidden Forest. And there's no doubt about it.
