Fly Until You See The Light

Eden (3) - Chapter 6

Sentinekka and the King are standing in front of a door with two crystals that look like the ones of every door that needs to be unlocked with Light. That door leads to an exit, an exit that the Ruler didn't see in a while.

Sentinekka told the King about he vision of Ojtaro, and he said that he's probably in pain for the fact that she's actualy dead... Temporarily... But still dead. He wanted to know more about the boy, so he used his power to look inside of the girl's mask's diamond, which contains a lot of experiences - that's the Ruler's opinion -. He was right, he now knows many things about Oj': his behavior, his fears, his weaknesses... But he promised that he will keep them secret as he should do.

But now, you may be wondering: why are the Child and the Spirit of the Ruler standing in front of a malfunctioning door?

Simple: after Sentinekka's story about the vision and after seeing her beloved boy crying, she had an idea to fix everything. She asked the King if he was able to reach other places, and he answered that he can do that but that he never did it. So, she thought about a plan...

«You and the Elders must solve the problems you have. You can't just make this situation continue forever, or there will always be victims!» she told Resh some time ago. He was fully listening to her speech, since he understood that his savior is actually a really smart and brave Child of Light. «And you must solve everything quickly, before some troubles start rising always more».

«But how do I do that?» he asked with a concerned face. «No Elder wants to see me. They all think I'm a criminal and they remember me only for my rage».

«If everyone thinks so why am I here then?» she asked with a sarcastic tone. «Lamed sent me for a reason. She misses you, and she wants to take the old times back. Maybe it's not possible to go back to the glorious days of the past, but it's posssible to change your relationship with your family. I'm going to help you all to get the "happy ending" you deserved».

And now Sentinekka has her candle in her hands, she's holding in towards a crystal of the door. It's shining, so it means that she only must turn on the second one.

Sentinekka puts the Light on the other crystal: it shines for a while and, then, it opens the mechanism of the door. Outside, there is a way of stars and white powder that creates a whole background. Is it supposed to be... The Heaven?

They're reaching the Elders.

Sentinekka makes a step, but the King looks at her in fear. His eyes say more than his words.

«Won't you come, your Majesty?» Sentinekka asks him with a smile on her face. She knows the King is scared, and it is quite adorable.

«What if they send me back here?» he asks. Is he talking to himself or to the girl? It doesn't matter, anyways.

She answers:«I'know that they will forgive you. I'll fix everything. I promise». So she holds out her hand for him, and he takes it with some hesitation.

Step after step, the King and the Child, a strange and outrageous duo, walk together and reach a white void that will take them, after some time, inside a beutiful dimension with an eternal night, full of stars and constellations, transparent water and white grass and small plants, and bridges and roads of powder and magical dust.

The emptiness wasn't the real Heaven. That place is the Heaven, the place where every dead Child goes to return to their home.
