Back to life

2.

I flew for hours. I don't know how much time I did but I flew until my back hurts. Maybe I just freaked out a little bit too much. All those new things, maybe it's just the stress of a new soul. I just can't get over that voice, telling me I'm the one. Telling me I'll have to lead a war, telling me I'll have to kill Orion or Aspen. How could I do something like that? I'm not a warrior! I stopped flying and sat on the grass. Black grass. I watched the red sky turning into a beautiful black one with a million stars shining in the dark. Something cold and wet began to slowly run down my cheeks. I didn't know what it was  but I let it flow. Strangely, I felt like somebody or something was watching me. I was right because a voice softly said :

- Alwyn? I'm Skye. I am charged to bring you back at the kingdom...

I slowly turned around and saw a demon. She had beautiful silver hair and green shiny eyes. Under her eyes, there were two arrows running up on her cheeks, pointing her green gaze. She looked like a girl of my age again. Skye was wearing a armour. Her wings was out and she was looking at me sweetly. I answered quietly, not really knowing what to do.

- Hey...!

I wiped away my tears, because I finally found what they were, got up and thought " Fly away " . My wings came out and I said :

- I'm ready..

For no valuable reason, she automatically made a reverence. She whispered :

- Your wings!

I was embarrassed. Yes, I got to be strong. But people really don't need to bow down at me! I'm not a queen!

- You can get up, just, bring me to the castle please.

- It will be my pleasure!

She took a different direction and began to fly. I followed her, wishing the trip was shorter so I could finally sleep. When we began to see the roof of the kingdom, she shouted to be sure I heard :

- King Aspen gave me the order to stay with you. I'm your new personal bodyguard. If you need anything, I'll be waiting at your door.

We walked and finally arrived  in front of my door, Lyrik was yelling on the other side. I don't know with who she was fighting but it seemed pretty serious.

- Thanks Skye, I'll tell you if I need anything. That's really sweet of you.

- My pleasure, Alwyn.

We smiled to each other and I entered the room. Aspen was there. Lyrik and him were fighting, more yelling but anyway. As I closed the door, they stopped arguing and both looked at me. I whispered :

- Hum, hi...

- Alwyn!!! Oh god you're alive!!! I was so scared! I'm so sorry for what I said, I didn't meant to scare you!

Lyrik half yelled as she gave me a big hug. Aspen was looking at me madly but after seconds of an intense eye contact, he let a small smile run on his lips and said with his deep and charming voice :

- Glad you're back. I'm going back to my room. Sleep, you'll need energy tomorrow.

- Thanks.

Lyrik opened the door and said to Aspen :

- Now go, you dummy, I said it that she was intelligent and that she wouldn't fly to Heaven! She don't even know where it is!

- Yeah yeah, good night ladies.

- G'night big bro!

She closed the door and jumped on her bed. She seemed really worried about me. After everything she told me, I have no ideas how she told to Aspen that I was gone!
