Prologue:

The world was different than any other ages it had faced before. A light pillar seemed to go up towards the sky, almost reaching the outer universe in the total darkness of it. But, just then… the pillar started to shine with a red color and destroyed itself and a white shield appeared.

A long, long time ago…

A dark world that looked exactly as our own was seen with the light pillar which was seen in the outer universe with the white shield that moved like a wave and above it… Another world was seen, much brighter than the one below it, that was our world.

The Gods of the skies, known as the Heavenly people,

In both worlds… blue lighting struck each other with some parts of the other Earth falling to the bright world, crumbling everything and destroying all that was below them.

Fought a huge war against the humans of the Lower World.

The shield's waves made both worlds separate from each other even more. As if they were not supposed to be near each other in the first place.

It was a battle fought over the almighty power that could create anything.

The white shield waves started to stop and, where the light pillar once was… started to disappear. The shield waves started to close up like nothing was there in the beginning.

The Akuto.

This closed the bright world which was in total chaos and in flames.

Look up and

You'll wake up and realize

That even prayers envelop loneliness.

The things we want to convey and trust in

Reflect what's in our hearts… our sun.

If you take it with that hand,

I'm sure something will change.

So, let's throw away our rusted wings!

We'll become the wind,

All the while chasing and overcoming time, darkness, and illusions.

Light shines

As it deeply, immaturely and strongly glitters from our hearts.

We'll scribe it onto this wide sky.

We make a note of it,

Including our closed up aspiration,

And take a deep breath…

Our eternal and lost things

Will surround our hearts… our moon.

If you take it with that hand,

I'm sure the world will change.

So, let's throw away our broken memories…

We'll become the wind,

All the while overcoming our scars, walls and reasons.

Light shines

And will forever glitter in our cheeks, our future and our side.

We'll face towards the same sky.

We'll become the wind,

All the while conducting time, darkness and illusions.

Light shines

And we'll let it deeply, immaturely and strongly glitter in our hearts.

If we scribe it onto this wide sky,

Someday, it will be able protect everything!


In a dark room, a boy with reddish spiky hair and tanned skin was crying on his large bed while he shook in it. Inside his mind, he kept dreaming, seeing his parents vanishing in front of his own eyes.

His golden eyes showed pupils like a diamond. Once the scene was finished… he appeared in a beautiful garden with tall trees, flowers and bushes. Their strong, large leaves covered the small boy while he was sitting down on the lowered part of the tree with his legs close to his chest and his arms around his legs with his head low. The wind whistled while his spiky hair moved with it.

The sun shone with all his might. The blue sky looked brighter, even though it should have been darker.

(Why? Why did they have to die? Mom… Dad… I miss you) the boy thought, but what he didn't noticed was that someone was walking towards him and that a gentle hand had touched his head.

- Hey. Are you alright?- A kind, lovely voice was heard and the boy opened his eyes, very surprised, and looked up at the stranger who touched him and talked to him.

A girl of his age was looking at him with worried eyes. She had tan skin like him only a little much tanner than his and dark brown short hair that made it look like it was dark and reach below her shoulders. Her dark brown eyes showed concern in them. Her pupil was like a circle.

She was wearing a yellow shirt with white shorts that reached above her knees. She looked at him and noticed that he looked strange. Besides the shape of his eyes… his ears were pointy.

(Is he some kind of elf?) the girl thought, but the boy stand up very fast with a shocked face but, before she could ask again, his face turned from surprised to angered.

- What are you doing here?! You're not supposed to be here! Don't touch me again! Get lost!- shouted the boy and, then, he turned away.

He took a few steps away until he realized what he had just done and he turned around to find that the girl was looking at the ground with watery eyes. She was about to cry but, before he could go back to apologize… she started to move away from there.

Later, she started to run away and her short hair started to fly up into the sky that later showed her ears. The boy's eyes widened when he realize that she wasn't a Heavenly girl… She was… human.

- Hey! Wait!- he shouted and dashed behind her.

She didn't stop until… she was climbing up a hill that led the end of the island. The boy was worried that she might fall, but the girl wasn't stopping.

- Please! Wait! Don't go any further!- he warned her but, even so… she stopped at the edge of it and looked down to the clouds below.

She then looked up at the sunset, took a step onto the edge and let herself fall.

- NO!- he shouted while he woke up, sweating with his right hand stretched up.

His breathing was very hard and his heart was beating very quickly.

(What was that? Was it just a dream? Why did I dream about a human girl? What does this mean? Who is she?)


Meanwhile…

In a large room with gray walls with a little light enter from the window, the girl sit up, very sad with tears on her face.

(Why? Why did he shout at me? I just wanted to help… It seems as though… I can't have a friend. I wish I had a friend… A real friend) she thought, even while she landed back on the bed and hugged her pillow while the tears kept falling down.


The Next Night…

She went back to sleep while she relaxed on her big rectangular bed. She was wearing her white pajamas which were yellow pants and a yellow t-shirt. By the time she opened her eyes again… she was back to the same garden as the night before.

- What am I doing here, anyway?- she asked herself out loud.

She looked at the blue sky and looked at the clouds that were below the island.

- Is this some kind of island?- she asked herself again.

- You could say that- a boy's voice was heard and she turned around, afraid of who had just answered her.

She saw the same boy as before. He was wearing a gray shirt with red pants. The wind kept whistling all around them while their hair flew with the wind. They stared each other without saying anything and each one was reflected in each other's eyes.

- What do you want, now?- the girl asked, already irritated. She crossed her arms in front of her chest.

The boy softened his face while closing his eyes and let a sigh escape his lips. By the time he opened his golden eyes… he only smirked.

- I should be asking you that and, about your question before… Yes. You're on an island- the boy answered.

She only looked at him in surprise, not because he was there, but because he was talking to her.

- Look… I'm… sorry about shouting you last night. I was… not myself. So… I'm sorry- the boy apologized while the girl was even more shocked than before because her eyes were as big as plates.

The boy noticed this and he felt more annoyed than before. He looked elsewhere while the girl walked towards him. He turned his eyes back to her and he felt afraid that she would shout at him. But, the only thing she did was smile and hug him.

-I forgive you- she answered while he was more surprised than before and he started to blush a little.

He didn't know what to do next, so… he returned the embrace. His face showed a small smile while he closed his eyes. The embrace took about 5 minutes until they separated each other and stared at each other with smiles on their faces.

- My name is Cynthia. What's your name?- asked the girl.

The boy notice that, in her dark brown eyes… the pupils… had the same shape of the humans.

- My name is Munto- the boy answered and both shook their hands.

That was the beginning of their friendship. Both learned that they were the same age. In other words, they were 5 years old. Both of them were lonely and they learned that both wanted a friend.

Munto told her that he lost his parents and Cynthia told him that she didn't have any friends because she could see the floating islands and everyone thought that she was crazy.

With that, they both started to understand each other, even though the both of them thought that they were just a dream, but it was real for both of them.

- Munto- Cynthia called while both of them were sitting down on the tall tree while looking at the sunset.

- What is it Cynthia?- Munto asked, looking at her.

She was looking at the ground until she faced the sunset.

- We will be best friends forever, right?- Cynthia asked while looking at Munto who was smiling at her with all his heart.

- Of course, we will be. We will always be best friends- said Munto while taking her hand and both of them smiled while looking at the sunset, making it official that they would never break that oath.

But, even so… some oaths can be broken, no matter what, and that's what happened.

One night… Munto was excited that he would see Cynthia again but, in his dream… she never appeared. He called her and looked for her in his dream many times, but she never came.

Night after night, he kept wishing that she could return, but nothing happened and everything broke inside him, even his heart.

- I thought that we would always be there for each other… but you broke it. You broke it. Why? Why?!- Munto cried out while tears started to fall from his face.

This hurt like the day that he lost his parents.

- It was just a dream… She was just a dream… and I believed that she was real. I will never let my dreams confuse me ever again. Never!- that was the new oath that Munto made himself at that time and, little by little, he forgot all about her.


4 Years Later…

Cynthia had finally made friends. They were Ichiko and Suzume.

Ichiko was a girl with short, dark brown hair. Her eyes were dark brown, too, and she had pale skin.

Suzume was shorter than them. She had chocolate hair and eyes and pale skin.

Cynthia had grown-up to be much taller than her friends.

Every day, she carried an umbrella because Ichiko and Suzume wanted to see the floating islands that she always saw, but Ichiko cried out because she couldn't see them. Cynthia was sad that she made her suffer because of what she saw and, then… she carried the umbrella so that she wouldn't have to see them again.

But, one day… she thought that she had forgotten something important. Something that was very special to her because her heart hurt every time she thought about it. But… she didn't know what it was. She tried harder but, no matter how hard she did it… she couldn't remember.

- Forgive me… I can't remember- she said out loud.

She didn't know why she was apologizing, anyway, but it seemed as though she should do it and, with that, she closed her eyes.

- I want to see the sky like everyone else does.- This was the new oath that Cynthia wanted.
