Fly Until You See The Light

Eden (1) - Chapter 9

Twenty Winged Lights, for now. She just lost twenty Wings. Not a drama, but every time she gives a Wing to someone it hurts for real. It's like something is taking every energy away.

Sentinekka feels lost in that realm. She doesn't know what to do, so she just runs Child to Child and gives Winged Lights without following a real way. The enviroment is a nightmare, there is no hope for that place.

The only things that distracts her are her thoughts. Someone stole her letter, and it never arrived to the Isle. Ojtaro and the others will be so worried... Will that person steal her last letter too...? She prays that the Child who did it will have mercy. Well, she's starting to believe that the thief is not a normal Child of Light. It could also be someone greater than just a Child, someone cruel, but she doesn't know who. The Elders could never, Light and Darkness wouldn't have a reason. Unless...

A crystal almost hits her. She shouldn't think so much during that mission, she always risks to get hurt... But she is just so surprised and too much confused. She lays on another stone and temporarily closes her eyes. She remembers one thing now: it was the day she went in Aurora's concert. But she doesn't think about the concert. She thinks about that small and blue room that was supposed to calm the Children down if they were sad or angry. She entered inside of it, one time. The voice she heard was relaxing, and she stayed inside of that place for a while. She thought that she didn't need that voice.

Now she needs it, and she remembers the demigoddess's words.

«Breath in, and breath out...» she whispers. And it works. Sentinekka can feel a bit calmer, and her ideas are starting to get clear again. «In and out».

After a while, she stands up. She now knows what to do. Guwa even told her.

«The next right thing to do...» she says to herself. «It's to set the fallen ones free, to save Judylia and to reach the King».

Sentinekka looks around. The Eden is corrupted, but it can be fixed... Hope is the answer, but courage is the key.

«Judy!» she shouts while she runs to another Child to set it free from the pollution of the shards. «Judy!».

No sounds, no answers. But Sentinekka would never give up so easily. A step and another one. Her feet touch the destroyed ground of the realm, and the water pinches them as a crab would do if she wasn't a friend for it.

«Judy! Can you hear me?!» she screams again, but there is still no reply to that call. Judylia has a great hearing, she could never ignore Sentinekka's voice. They are great friends, and Judy isn't one of the people who like to pretend to be dead. She'd never joke about this kind of things.

Judy is probably already dead... Maybe she's even at the Homespace, waiting for her with patience. Or she's just trapped somewhere. Or her voice stopped working suddenly, since it usually does it.

«Wherever you are, I'm coming!» she says with the determination she almost lost permanently. Determination was always her best personality trait, the one that Ojtaro loved the most. He even told her, once. She won't fall and let it go as many people did there.
