3.Clouds of hope

by Bartolomeu

Dear diary,
 
It's raining, and my pages are wet so I will have to rewrite you in a new book. You deserve it, we deserve it.
 
It's raining... and I am happy.
 
The day started cloudy and now it was even cloudier with darker and more menacing clouds. On our way back to Marion from Usa-Laominis it started raining. Pouring. While trying to cover us and hurry to shelter a small figure started walking next to us. It looked like a child, so I immediately stood on one knee and talked with him. I was concerned for him, so I asked about his parents. I couldn't tell if the child was a she or a him.
 
He did not answer me. But he asked:"why is it raining?" and if the world would end. I didn't bat an eye in that moment. I was fast to assure him the world wouldn't end along with the others, Verfy and Nixie.
 
He began to grow as we we were speaking. The kid grew about Talion's size. I was left speechless. Was it an angel?
 
It told us its grandchild would soon find us and join us in our journey of saving the world. "Follow the sapphire path" it said while disappearing into the rain like it never was there.
 
Talion figured out it was about the Black Sylph. And our destination was the Sapphire Fountain. A legendary place, far away from our lands.
 
There is beauty and good in rain too.
 
I kinda wish Eve was here to feel this, maybe it would've helped her or made her a bit happy. At least Talion is here, maybe he'll stop hurting her.
 
Dear diary,
