Chapter 27: The greatest adventure...
Kai's eyes wided as he walked slowly into the dark building. He'd been there before, once or twice, but that was long time ago. The church was dark and mysterious. Two huge many-coloured windows, sendt thick moonbeams on the floor. Stone angels adorned the walls and the roof, and the floor was made of grey stone. The doors was wide open, so the white snow flew into the cold room. Plants had started to wind beutifully around the church benches. He stood and leaned towards a cold marble column by the open door, and looked in wonder at the cross in the end of the building. He was so cold, he could see his breath like a thin mist around him.
The others hadn't seen that he left, but he needed some time alone, to think. To think of all the unexpected thing that had happened, and all those things that lied in front of him...
He took a few steps into the room, and looked up. There, high above him, was a great round window, made in different colours of glass. It sendt golden light down to the floor in front of him, bathed the cold, dark world in hope...
Kai shiwered, but not in fear or cold. He could feel a beauty in his heart, a feeling only this place could create in human hearts. He walked slowly to the circle of golden light. Suddenly, he was surrounded by moonlight. He closed his eyes, let the light cover him like a cloak. Thousands of small lines and circles made patterns on the floor, and he stood right in the middle of them, looking up at the moon through the window. A strong wind from outside, made millions of small white snowflakes dance inn through the doors, flew around in the room, around him...
Someone sang. He could hear it, feel it. Quiet voices echoed in the walls, like small silver bells. And Kai had a feeling that it was the stone angels themselves. Or could it be humans? Voices that had been hidden in the time, trapped inside these four walls. Voices of humans who had died hundreds of years ago, those who believed in the light...
Those souls who didn't found the last door...
Not the door of death, but the door of life! The last way out. Kai took a deep breath, and just listened. And after some minuites, he understood what they were saying. He could feel them around him, could see shadows of their faces. Their eyes shined towards him, greeted him... He smiled, as he understood that they were glad to see him! Glad to meet him!
Kai felt tears sting in his eyes, threatening to fall. He didn't know why, but he felt so different here. Like God himself was talking to him! The though made him look at the cross again. "You have caused so mutch suffering and pain..." he whispered to it. "...but also happiness." He took a few steps towards it. And by every step, he felt that they were following him, encouraging him to walk further. And he did. He could feel a strange warmth around him, like a phoenix layed her wings around him. But this was different... This was not only light! It was hope, like it should be.
"Help me..." he whispered. "Help me to see...help me to understand! To hope! To love! To believe..."
He lifted his eyes, and watched, as the moonlight fell on a inscription on the cross. He leaned closer to read, and while he did, tears started to fall down his cheeks...
Inquietum est cor nostrum"Restless is our hearts..." he said. "Thats true." He smiled sadly. "And too mutch has happened..."
He turned around, and gasped. The church wasn't empty anymore...
"We got worried." Runa said, with a smile. Kai looked back at her. "How did you know I was here?"
She looked down at the ground. "I dunno. I just had a feeling that you were here..."
Kai just stood there in silence. He felt like one more angel had been added to the room. Runa's brown hair shined in the moonlight, and she looked wery pale inside this dark place. He smiled. "I remember something my father told me..." Runa looked into his eyes.
"We cant be shure if anyone in a hundred years time will look back and think of the things we have done. We can only hope that we will be remembered..."
He closed his eyes again. "Can't you hear them Runa? They are singing about the exact same thing!"
"I can hear them now..." she whispered, and looked around in the church. She walked into the circle of golden light, where he was standing. "Strange things happens around a phoenix..." she said. Kai smiled. "Yeah...It's said that the song of a phoenix, can wake up lost souls...show them the way back to the light..."
"Is it true?" she looked up at the bright moon above them. "If you believe in sutch things." Kai answered. Runa laughed. "You are real enough to me, so why shouldn't all the other things be?"
He lifted his hands, and suddenly, the voices grew stronger! A beautiful melody filled the church, and thousands of white lights appeared around them! Runa gasped, as she saw that they were humans. Men, woman and children, they all looked at the young phoenix, who wanted to show them the right way! Kai reached out his hand, and a small boy came foward. He was covered in white light, and shined in the dark like a little star. The boy took Kai's hand. Behind Kai, a huge door appeared. It looked like it was made of the same light that surrounded the boy, only it shined mutch more brighter...
The boy looked up at him with worried eyes. Kai smiled, and bent down to his level. "Are you afraid?" he asked. The boy nodded. "Dont be. You have waited so long! Now, you're there..."
The boy walked forward. He stopped in front of the door, and looked back at him. Kai nodded. The boy laughed, a beautiful resounding sound, and waved. He took a step forward, and disappeared into the light, the sound of his last laughter still echoing in the walls. Kai looked out at all the other lights. "Do not fear the light..." he said to them "It's there to bring you home. I can not force you to enter, I'm just here to show you the way! He is waiting for you..."
For a secound, no one moved. They just sang silently. And then, an old woman walked forward, followed by an old man. He took her hand and smiled. A secound later, a man walked past Kai, followed by a family of eight! The children sang and laughed, and their parents smiled at him. Kai nodded and smiled back. And then, the whole room exploded in light, as they all followed...
Kai smiled brightly. Runa held his hand tight, and watched. The music slowly subsided. The last soul that entered the door, stood there for a while, and looked at Kai.
Kai smiled and tried not to cry."Good luck dad..." he whispered. Armand Hiwatari sighed. "Kai, I dont want a sad goodbye...This is only the beginning! The greatest adventure, begins now..."
And then, he walked into the light. The door disappeared, and everything remained silent. Kai and Runa looked up. The moonlight that before had shined so brightly through the windows, was replaced by sunlight! Runa smiled, and sqeezed Kai's hand, as the sun rised. Kai looked down at Runa...
And it was true as it was told: Where one thing ended, a new thing started! He smiled back at her, lost in his own thoughts. He knew his father was right. And he knew that he soon would see him again, he just had some things to do first.
His day would come. But now, when he greeted the new morning, that day seemed wery far away. He wouldn't think about it, just live. Live for the persons he loved!
Live...to the last day...
I've never been so satisfied with a chapter before! You see, I drew a poster, not long ago, for a concert. And then I drew a church like that, and a girl who stood under a window like that, surrounded by light and with stone angels on the walls! Thats why I ended up writing this chapter. It may sound a bit "out of story", but this chapter is wery important for the ending of the story.
LOOK HERE!: I love to draw, and peoples say I'm wery good(I'm not so shure about that, but whatever), so I was thinking about drawing pictures to the story! Then I would give you a link to the web-site I'm posting them!
Please R&R!!! BYE!
