''Sometimes you have to make others talk too, right?''
«Sentinekka!» Judy calls back. «I hear you!».
No more Darkness, finally. That god, Darkness, told her many things: he wanted her to become a Spirit, one of the dead people of the Valley, probably even a voice of the race to the Coliseum. Then, he saw that she desired to live. So he made her go in Eden to take her friend back, to tell her that she's fine.
Judy still can't believe that she met a god. The god of the Darkness. And he agreed to let her go without turning her into a mystical creature or similar... Well, something like that? He said that she was going to be still a mortal, but with a different, small, change.
Not that bad or noticeable, she was just going to be half a Spirit or... Ugh, she doesn't even understand anyways! She's sure the Enchantment Guide will explain this to her in simple words. But, now, she must find Sentinekka. She heard her voice.
«Judy!» Sen' noticed her. They both are looking at each other. Sentinekka is protecting herself from the crystals with a rock. When the crystal's rain ends for a while, she instantly reaches her lost friend and hugs her. «You're okay! Are you hurt?!».
«Eh, not really Senny» she answers. «But what about you? Why did you come here?».
«To save you, idiot!» Sentinekka answers with an angry and worried tone. She takes off her cape and tries to pass it to Judy, but she shakes her head to say "no" to that gesture. «Why did you go in the Eden like that?».
«Long thing» Judylia tells her with a little smile. «You don't have to worry about me now. I already died here, many things happened, I'll explain everything to you when you'll get out of here too. I can help you if you want».
«You're telling me that you're somehow here and not at the Homespace?!» Sentinekka exclaims, surprised. «What are you waiting for?! Timur, Yashi, Mona and the others are worried as hell! Go home, Judy, okay? I've got something else to do here, anyways...».
«I want to keep you company as you always did when I was alone, Sentinekka».
«You don't have to, Judy» the girl answers with a sure smirk. «I can tell you everything after I get out of here».
«Fine» she replies. She slowly reciprocates the hug, then she puts Sentinekka's cape on her friend's shoulders again. «But you'll have to explain everything as all of this was a play from the Theater» she jokes and giggles.
«Your hand...» Sentinekka whispers while looking at Judy's arm. It has a different color from the other, it's clearer and has a colder shade. Just like white. White as a bird from the Isle. Spirits usually have darker skin, and she doesn't know why her arm is like this. Maybe it's connected by the half part of being a Spirit and not a normal Child?
Judylia looks at her right arm. «Oh» she begins. «Long thing to explain. Nothing to worry about».
«Does it hurt?».
«No, don't freak out. Are you sure that you want me to go...?».
«Yes. When you reach the others, could you tell them that I'll probably take some time to come back? Please...».
«Sure, I will. Why didn't you write something like a message?».
«I did, but it was lost».
«Tragic».
«Kinda».
«Sentinekka, promise me you'll be fine» Judylia concludes before saying bye to her friend, who nods and smiles with a hopeful and tired expression. She looks like she didn't even sleep. She looks like Orlando when he was having those nightmares about the day he started the journey. «Good luck, my friend!».
Sentinekka waves at her, and Judy finally disappears in the shape of white and yellow, shiny dust.
