In the quiet of the night, beneath the celestial tapestry, two pairs of winged souls dance in silence. The stars bear witness to their graceful flight, as they navigate the vast expanse, serenaded by the gentle whispers of the wind. Amidst this nocturnal journey, they immerse themselves in the echoes of bygone days, reminiscing about a city once bathed in golden hues. Alas, the golden city now fades into the shadows, leaving behind naught but the plaintive cry of a forsaken child. while they tried to fly, to embrace the warmth of their nest, once more.
- The Two Birds
**************************************************
The two souls, keep their mouths shut to enjoy the bask of the moonlight and the silent city. They could hear each other steps and breath. while Licht does not know how to open a conversation, Lina opens her mouth-
"You now seeing this city, it reminds me of my homeland... in the way that when comes to night every household becomes silent."
For Lina, the city's condition right now reminds her of her homeland. where people become busy in the day working, while at night it becomes silence, for its residents to rest for tomorrow. such a place was Lina's Hometown, where in the morning people tried their best to find food to satisfy themselves, and at night they rested and prepared for tomorrow while living in the shade of fear of being attacked by other tribes. such as the lives of tribesmen, in the southern Grassland.
Knowing this Licht, Licht looks at Lina and waits for her to open her mouth again. After organizing what she wants to say, Lina opens her mouth again-
"You Know...I live with my sister and my parents... thanks to how much our development in agriculture... we live by nomad... we meet with many people in the morning... while preparing to part with them at night... this how we live... we maybe met them yesterday... and part with them today... while just hoping for a meeting again tomorrow... This is the lifestyle of the southern tribes..."
Loneliness was something that the southern tribes understood pretty much. thanks to never-ending raids with one another, parting with loved ones was something that has become the norm. and a true friend or best friend was just a sweet lie, thanks to their never-ending moving to another place. this lead to people having more connection, but less strong bond, than those who live in the central plain. seeing such a lonely expression, Licht chose to hold her hand. Lina, whose suddenly her hand was grabbed, looked at Licht. Licht looks at the cold distance moon, and the said-
"I couldn't understand what you feel, 'cause I'm not you... but at least there is something that I want you to know... if you are scared to tell me what is bothering you... no problem... I would wait till you, told me yourself."
Licht, then looked at her while smiling warmly, like he understood her truly. Licht doesn't know why she suddenly brings her family, are there is some sort of problem, feeling lonely, or just reminiscing. but from her expression when she met him and the way she talked, she usually would joke around to try to warm the situation, or even if there was a problem she would stay strong, but now she isn't. Licht concluded that she was in some sort of problem, and to help her solve it-
"But if you feel lonely or weak, I would be here. and try my best to assist you."
Hearing this comforting word, Lina became embarrassed by her action just now. Licht who saw this kept smiling at her, seeing Licht smiling like that Lina got angry and pouted. they just like that for several seconds, and then-
"Pffftttt...Hahahaha..."
Lina laughed uncontrolaby, Licht seeing this couldn't understand why she laughed. she opens her mouth-
"ha ha...the kids that usually always supported by me, said that he will support me."
after hearing this, Licht just smiled and laughed it off. then nodding her head, Lina said-
"well, You're right... just being sad and depressed would not help it. Now let's go, we should rest and prepare for tomorrow."
then she led Licht back to the accommodation while laughing and jokingly along the way. "at least it was better now.' licht thought to himself in his heart. 'but, why do I suddenly feel that those hands that always support me would go at any time.' but he could make his worries gone.
