Fly Until You See The Light

Ifẹ means Love, Ipari means Finale

The Season of Revival is ending so soon... But it was so beautiful!

Sentinekka looks at the old and now fixed Village that she and many other Children brought back to life. She looks at the many houses for the Spirits and the Guides, at the beautiful rivers and the clouds in the Sky.

The Guides that wanted to reach this place are now alright. Rhythm, Dreams, Performance, Enchantment... They're all okay, the Children saved them after organizing that spedicition, just like the Elders did in the past.

And guess what? Every Guide has a different hobby out of being the keeper of a Constellation: Rhythm Guide likes being a hairdresser - now we understand why his friends have those weird styles! -, Dreams likes to sew... And Passage is there too! He loves creating masks and, now, he has a whole space for his activities. The students like to help him, and Horand is even learning more about being a future Guide.

But there's not just a Village in that new place, in that realm that once was forgotten.

A Child remained in it for centuries. The young Guide of this Season. His name is Hopeful Steward. He's a Child of many years old actually, but he says he's still eleven. He was the only survivor from the Shards that killed his Village and people. He was awoken by some Child during the spetiction, and then everyone helped the Guides that were locked in Darkness.

There are people, some Messengers of the Stars, that say that the next Season will be about a Deer. She didn't understand well thought... But she can't wait. Now it's December.

«What are your eyes seeing, Sen'?» a voice says beside her. It's Ojtaro, he reached her and she didn't even notice that.

He changed a lot since the day everything turned as warm as the sun, in the Kingdom. With the help of the Guide and the Spirits of the Enchantment and of the demigoddess Aurora, the Elders managed to break the cycle Ojtaro was in; so he hasn't got his golden wings anymore, and his skin has got a more normal color. His eyes are still the same, under his new wooden mask of the Hidden Forest, but it doesn't matter for sure. They're beautiful anyways. When the Elders freed him, they decided to be still in contact with him and made him become a Messenger, so he now has got a pair of blue and shiny wings that suit him perfectly, and he loves them. He's also wearing an orange outfit from the Season of Flight and a white fur around his neck to keep it warm.

«Just at the Village» Sentinekka replies with a calm smile on her face. Ojtaro puts an arm around her shoulders and smiles too. They stay silent for a bit while they stare at the Aviary, now a new and beautiful home for the Spirits and the Children of the Kingdom.

«I was thinking...» he begins. «The Hopeful Steward organized an event for the new year for this evening. I mean, it's ready. Actually, it started some days ago, it's finishing right today. Would you like to come with me and my family to see the fireworks? The others are also invited, I told them all already».

«I would love to come!» she replies with a joyful expression. «I've heard from someone that the Steward will give a little speech about a general comunication. I just need to discover more».

«Well, no problem about it! You'll know it when you'll come and when the fireworks will be done».

«Sounds nice».

He lets out a giggle and gets a little closer to her. «Thank you» he tells her in a relaxed tone. «For coming into my life and changing it with your affection».

Sentinekka blushes a bit and strokes his head gently. «It's the same for me. Thank you for everything you did, I'll never forget it».

«Even for being taller than you?».

«What?».

«Shortie».

«Huh?!» she crosses her arms and smirks with challenging eyes. «I give you three seconds before I reach you and feed you to a Krill. Do you prefer Wastelands' Krills or the ones of the Eden?».

«Uh oh». Ojtaro immediately runs away as fast as he can and shouts from afar with an amused voice:«Catch me if you can, hun!».

«You know I will!» she replies and, after a short time, she starts chasing him across the Aviary Village, which is slowly falling into the quiet night time. 

-----

The fireworks were amazing. Sentinekka, Ojtaro and their friends saw the wonderful event all together, sitting on a small hill above the area of the seven doors of each realm. Every Guide was there, they all celebrated with happiness the arrival of the new year.

Then, the young Guide of the Revival used a scepter in his hands to let the last fireworks reach the Sky. It was beautiful.

Unknown Children were flying around and reaching the clouds with the fireworks, and they all were using their Light to make the event even better. Their world is amazing.

Ojtaro once hated everything about his world, his life and himself. But now he finally understands that Everything Matters for real, he sees the beauty hidden everywhere... Except for Sen'. Her beauty isn't hidden, he can clearly see it in her green eyes and in every detail of her.

When the Revival Guide finally spoke about the news he had to share, he said something quite unexpected. Yeah, he thanked the Children for fixing his home, he stayed beside of all the Guides and all... But he also told everyone that...

«The Elders, after some time of thinking, decided to give life to a new statue located in an old and ruined temple that is in the Eden. It represents the two Elders we lost, the Priestess Samekh and the King Resh. For now it is not ready yet, they're still working on it... But they wanted me to tell you already, so thank you all for never leaving the Light, Dark and Love!».

That was kinda surprising, no one could believe what he said... But, hey... It's better this way!

And here they were. The two Children of the Forest and the Greenland were holding each other. They knew that they were going to live so many adventures together. And they knew that nothing was going to separate them.
