Infos

Saira, the Keeper of the Light and the Tides, found Ava a long time ago and raised her. Together with Niam, the Keeper of the Writings and Teachings, Ava was trained to be one of the best students in the Council of Light. After Ava's trial, she was given the title 'The Messenger of Destiny' and the task 'Bring the message to those for whom it is time.' from Saira. Ava is to leave the gorge and go out into the world to fulfill her task. With Lana, Akim, Amazons and many others, Ava came closer to her goal. But she doubted and did not let anyone get close to her. As a white person, she saw how white people put people of color in chains and did terrible things to them. The people confused Ava. On the one hand she saw only hate and suffering and yet people could love. Ava fought for the people who were important to her but she saw no end to it. When one chain was broken, a new one was created. The land is soaked in blood. Some celebrate life, others mourn death. It is an illusion that one side wins. But Ava goes to the end.

The Task

 

Ava grew into a young adult and was trained in the

knowledge of the Light by the Council, especially by

Niam and Saira. Now her final test was approaching. She

spent every night on the cliff near the gorge practicing the

rituals. Over time, she had learned how to use the light of

nature and in her heart. Ava has the ability to influence the

elements of nature and practiced moving stones with her

will. Saira appeared behind Ava on the cliff and watched

her. Ava sensed Saira's presence and turned to face her.

Her eyes were white. Saira wiped the air with her hand

and Ava's eyes returned to their natural color. Ava closed

her eyes for a moment and had a burning feeling suddenly

and then looked at Saira. „Never merge our two souls

without my permission!“, Saira said sternly. „I'm sorry.“,

said Ava. „Remember that! But I actually wanted to see

how you progressed. You've been sitting here for hours.“,

said Saira. „Do you see that stone tower over there?“,

asked Ava, pointing to the stone tower on a large stone

cliff. Saira saw it and was impressed. „Very good.“, said

Saira. Ava put her candles in her bag. „Tomorrow is your

test. Are you prepared?“, asked Saira. Ava hung her bag

across her torso and stood up. „I think so.“, Ava said

thoughtfully. „Hey, what's wrong?“, asked Saira. Ava

looked at Saira. „Everything will change after then, won't

it?“, asked Ava. „Ava! You've become a grown woman.

You look at the horizon every day and dream of exploring

the world. Ava, you are strong and self-confident. You are

on fire for the good things in life. Your test is not the end, after that you open a new chapter.“, said Saira. „What if I

fail?“, asked Ava. „You won't.“, said Saira. „What makes

you confident?“, asked Ava. „Because I know you. Seeing

as I believe in you. I know what you're capable of.“, said

Saira. „Have you seen my future?“, asked Ava. „We

should go.“, Saira evaded. „You're avoiding me! You have

the gift. Tell me! You've seen my future, am I right?“, Ava

shouted. Saira turned around and looked into Ava's eyes.

Their souls merged. Her eyes turned white. „Look at me!

Never question my decisions. Look into the future

yourself and never look back. The light will guide you and

one more thing. Never question me, the head of the

council, the guardian of the light and the tides. Never!“,

Saira said sternly and interrupted the connection. „Come

on. We're going!“, said Saira. Ava went down into the

ravine with her without reluctance. Saira walked on, but

Ava stopped at a pool of water and looked into it. Saira

looked back and walked back to Ava. Ava wiped the

surface of the water and saw the starry sky. Saira stood

beside her. „You've never affected me before, especially

not being as strict with me. You've changed.“, Ava said.

„Ava! I've raised you since you were a baby. You're my

foster daughter. But I am the one who will test you

tomorrow. I have to give you a quest. I have to tell you

your destiny. Giving you your title. It is my destiny to

decide your future. I'm one of the council's supreme

leaders and I have no choice. If I have been strict with

you, then I want you to be independent. I want you to

believe in yourself as I do. But I am also your tutor. I often

have to treat you differently than you deserve or expect.

Do you understand that?“, said Saira. „Yes.“, said Ava and

pulled a shard of light out of the water. She formed a heart from it and held it in her hand. Then she brought it to

Saira's chest and let it into her heart. She looked at Saira

and Saira held Ava's hand against her heart. „You don't

have to say anything. I know.“, Saira said. She hugged

Ava. „I will never leave you alone. Never!“, whispered

Saira. „I'm worried.“, whispered Ava. „You don't need to

be. You have the gift of making the powers of the

elements yours. A strong sorceress, you are by far the best

student I have ever had the pleasure of training. I am

already so immensely proud of you. You will succeed.“,

said Saira. „Thank you on believing in me.“, Ava said and

looked at Saira. „Look inside yourself, and you'll believe

in yourself too. Go to sleep and recharge your batteries. I

have some things to discuss with Raman and the rest of

the council.“, Saira said. „Okay. See you tomorrow.“, Ava

said and let go of Saira. „See you tomorrow. Sleep well.“,

Saira said and kissed Ava on the forehead. Ava went to her

sleeping place. Saira looked after her and then went into

one of the caves to the council. Ava wiped above her head

and many lighted candles appeared above her bed. She

stayed awake for a long time until sleep took her. Ava

woke up the next day. The candles above her had

extinguished and burned down. She moved her hands and

said, „The time I have left. Melt into one and give me the

light and shine my path wide.“. The candles melted into

one large one. Ava changed into a black dress and hung

her necklace around her neck. Saira came with a black

cloak. „Good morning. I brought you your cloak.“, Saira

said and held it out to Ava. Ava looked at her. Saira helped

her into the cloak. „Now you're ready.“, Saira said

emotionally. „I'm ready.“, Ava said and held out her hand

to the candle. It flew into her hand. „For what did you choose this spell?“, Saira asked. „For remaining time.“,

said Ava. „You didn't get it from me or Niam.“, Saira said.

„It resulted from an accident a while ago. I wanted to

create shards of light against the darkness, but they

became candles. Today, I fused all the candles into one.“,

said Ava. „I like the spell.“, Saira smiled. Ava smiled back.

„Let's go. The council is waiting for us.“, Saira said and

walked with Ava to the stone circle. The council had

gathered together there and were already standing in a

circle. „Ava, take your place in the center.“, said Raman,

the guardian of the circle. Saira placed her hand on Ava's

back and guided her to the center. „Stand here!“, said

Saira and stood in the circle to join the council. Ava sent

the candle into the air and lit up the place. Some of the

council murmured something to each other. „Quiet! Ava.

Today you will be tested in three quests. Task 1: >>Create

something from the light within you<< >> . Task 2: Merge

with a person and see their destiny<<. Task 3: >>Illuminate

the ravine in golden light<<. Are you ready?“, asked Resa,

the Guardian of Conscience and another of the Council's

Supreme Heads. „I am ready!“, said Ava confidently.

„May the examiner step into the circle!“, shouted Resa.

Saira stepped into the circle. Ava looked at her. „Ava. It's

time for >> << task 1. Create something out of light.”, said

Saira. Ava closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She

waved her arms as if they were wings. Then she held her

hands to her heart and pulled out a glowing egg. She held

it in front of her and the council saw a chick hatch. Ava

quickly raised her hands upwards and an owl flew over the

council's heads to a rock. She sat down there. The council

applauded. „Bravo!“, whispered Niam. „Well done, Ava.“,

said Resa. „Let's move on to >>task 2<<. Find a person and look into that person's soul.“, said Saira. Ava looked

around. She walked towards a young man. It was Noah.

He is a young scholar who helped Niam with the

scriptures. „Focus, Ava.“, whispered Saira. Ava focused on

Noah. „Look at me.“, Ava said and merged with Noah's

soul. Both of their eyes turned white. „Now Ava, tell us

what you see.“, Saira said. Ava heard Noah's feelings and

thoughts in her head. She sensed his fear. „I can feel his

fear. He's fighting me.“, Ava said. „Relax, Noah.“, said

Niam. „I see an old man in a white cloak and white hair.

He carries scrolls under his arm. There is white moonlight

around him.“, said Ava. „Very good. Break the

connection.“, said Saira. Ava broke the connection and

looked at Noah. He was uncomfortable and Ava felt it.

„Well. It's time for the final task.“, Saira snapped Ava out

of her thoughts. Ava looked at her. She knew she had to

concentrate and pull herself together again. „Illuminate the

gorge in golden light.“, Saira said. Ava closed her eyes.

She knelt on the ground and placed her hands flat on the

ground. A wind blew through the gorge. The council

looked uneasily at each other. Only Saira remained calm

and watched Ava. Ava stood up. Her hair blew in the wind.

The necklace shone a bright red. She held her hands

together and opened them...
