This wasn’t the first time curious little Aurora straggled away when her parents weren’t watching, usually under father’s watch. Usually Grace felt where her sister was and there were many times when she found her before her father could. Her mother knew that she could trust Grace to guide her little lamb back to her, no matter from where.

Unlike her mother, father wasn’t troubled. He knew that nothing could harm his little daughter in Odess’iana, especially under the protection of her guardian. Alas, mother was led by a mother’s instinct. She was worried and Grace understood her.

“Where are you, sister?” Grace asked herself as she looked around in the dark alley that hid from the sunlight. Like a true guardian, who looks for her protected one, she had already searched many streets and alleys of Odess’iana for a long time, but she still hadn’t found Aurora.

She really wandered away this time, farther than before, Grace thought and began to feel the same worry that her mother felt. Where are you? Her head snapped to the left and right, both paths called her. But she knew she could take only one. The question was which one was it?

“You always do what you know to be right,” a hooded shadowy figure stepped out from the darkness right in front of her. Grace took a quick step back. The man wore a long black cloak with the hood hiding his head and face. Only his dark eyes were visible, icy and emotionless they mirrored an old soul. “Mother guides and protects you,” his old and tired voice was followed by a soft heartbroken sigh. “But in the end, you’ll be on your own.”

“I…” Grace wanted to say something, but the stranger interrupted as he raised his hand.

“Hush. I’m not talking to you, my child. I’m talking to Angeni,” he said almost silently.

“Angeni? Who, who is Angeni?” she asked, but the stranger shook his head. He crouched down in front of Grace and looked deep into her eyes.

“You’re in a hurry, but you won’t be late. Destiny always brings you where you’re needed the most,” whispered his calm old voice. “You always know the answer you’re looking for. Never hesitate, and never fear to ask. Always trust your instincts and never forget; nothing and no one is what they first appear to be. Now close your eyes.”

Darkness embraced the little girl as she closed her eyes. Her instincts told her what to do. She tried to empty her troubled mind, which insisted on believing that something really happened to Aurora.

“Where is she?” she queried her guardian in the hope that she would offer guidance. But no response came. Grace waited while all the surrounding noises faded to the endless silence, escorted by that false crystal chime that she had almost completely forgotten; yet, it still echoed in the back of her mind.

Where is she?

The vast darkness was slowly replaced by sapphire sunlight, little yellow and white jasnaia flowers in a huge beautiful garden.
