Fly Until You See The Light

Eden (3) - Chapter 9

«Hah, you know what? I'm done» the first twin of the Valley, Sah, says with a tired voice. He reaches Lamed and stands next to her with a proud face. «Seriously, Ojtaro isn't born to be a future Elder. He honking sucks at that, you may like it or not. He doesn't even know how to socialize!».

Mekh looks at him with an intimidated and cold expression, but she then sighs and reaches him fastly. She loves her twin, no matter the times they fight. They're twins, they'll always support each other.

«You're lucky that you have a sister like me, huh?» she gives a pat on his shoulder and he raises an eyebrow. «And you like to joke about Ojtaro, for real. He'd be glad to challenge you in a duel if he only was there and was in the right mood. You know that, right?».

«Mh... Yeah, for the both things you said» he approves and then looks at the only people that are still standing by the other side: Daleth and Ayin. The last one kinda looks confused, he probably doesn't even know what's going on, but he stays still and waits for Daleth, who he considers as the wisest one, to chose what to do in this situation.

Daleth is about to say something, but Teth starts speaking right before him and tells Ayin:«I know you don't like secrets, mate. What about telling these two Children what we had to do? They must know what happened to the letters».

Letters? Sentinekka's letters?!

The girl and Horand's eyes instantly begin to stare at Teth and at Ayin with concern. Are they about to discover why the messages Sentinekka wrote didn't arrive?

«Forest Elder, are you sure...?» the Prairie Elder asks with some kind of fear in his face. He's trembling, maybe he's scared to tell everything.

«You have the permission» Teth answers politely and her eyes seem to smile. She doesn't smile often, that's much rare... And her smile are so charming and pretty, when they indicate joy!

Finally, the Elder of the Daylight Prairie reveals the secret he hid with the others for a long time:«We all took the letters that you, little girl, wrote for our descendant... But me and Teth then decided to give them to him, but we don't know if he already checked them out because he's probably resting now since he had a meeting with Teth where she told him about everything and...» he makes a deep breath and continues:«And, to go back to the real world, he had to have physical contact with a really strong Light that made him sleep for a time and he's probably still resting now since the time passes in a different way inside this dimension... But, anyways... Please, forgive us, we're all so much sorry for taking something that wasn't supposed to be in our hands! We all promise this won't happen again!».

«I...». Sentinekka feels confused. She doesn't know how to react. The Elders took her letters, but they realized their mistake and gave them back. She sighs and makes a small smile. «It's fine, I know that you were unsure if Ojtaro should have trusted me. It can be hard to like someone, sometimes. Also, you always wanted to protect Ojtaro from people who could have been able to hurt him, so I understand...».

«We now know what to do!» Ayin joins his colleagues and friends and chuckles for the happiness. After he does that, golden butterflies start flying around him as a sign of his joy and calm, and this makes the King smile.

The Spirit finally makes a small step and says to Sentinekka:«Thank you, but now I think that... I must be the one to talk. You have been speaking with courage instead of me for a long time now, and I admire you for that. However, now I should take my occasion to say something».

They both look at Daleth, left alone in his thoughts, and Sentinekka nods and lets him walk in front of her.
