Chapter 5 - The naming session

Now, I have a new life, should I name myself? 

… 

Oops, there is no one to reply right now. Should I see if those two will talk to me? 

… 

Let's try. 

When she arrives, she sees the two balls resting. They are not fighting but they are still standing far from each other. Seeing those two, a smile appeared in the eyes of the girl. 

"How are you two today? Ha ha, strangely, I can not hear you saying anything, but I can understand what you want to say. Isn't it interesting?"

The balls started vibrating. They swayed and came near her. This time, they both did not fight, but rotated slowly around her. THey both jumped around her, and slowly settled on the left and right side of her. 

" Pft, haha, hahahahaha… you two. Hahahaha… You two, sorry, *ahem*. Sorry. You two do not need to worry. Once, I understand how to bring you both out, and I can do it with ease, I will use both of you from both hands. And, maybe, mix. How do you guys like that idea?"

The two balls shook. They looked happy. She did not said anything anymore. She just looked at them with a smile on her face. Those two balls, as if to show her that they have become friends, went a little further away and turned a little part into threads. Those thread intertwined into each other. 

The intertwined surface looked as if woven. There was no telling if there was white on the black or black on the white. The woven looked beautiful. 

The eyes of the girl were amazed. Her eyes were so shining, that the two balls felt proud for some reason. The two balls then untangled themselves and once again came to the girl. This time, the girl was particularly happy. 

"Hey, do you have a name?"

The balls froze. Then, they flattened themselves as if wronged. 

"Hmm… That, man said, to start with giving a name. Then, … "

The girl looked at the black ball seriously for a few minutes. And then said, 

"I will call you Shadow. Shadow is something everyone has all the time unless they do not exist or in an extremely dark room. Even in that case, shadow does not go anywhere, it just can not be seen.

 As soon as there is light, even the smallest amount, it will come back. I want you to be like that. Always with me, never leave me alone."

The black ball was happy. It shook, vibrated and started swaying in front of her. Now, the girl looked at the light ball. She looked at it seriously for a few seconds, but still looked conflicted. 

"I think a name like Luminous would suit you, but I don't have good memories of that name or of some other similar one, and giving it a shadow will look weird. So, I will call you Licht. It may sound like light, but it is based on my favorite fruit. Do you like it?"

In the beginning, the light ball got more and more flattened until it heard the ending. Now, the light ball was also happy and swaying. However, it was swaying slower because it was conflicted if the girl liked it or not. 

"In that case, I also want a name. To start my new life. I will be called, Celelstine. You guys remind me of them. White stars in the dark night. "

The two balls this time, trembled and flashed strongly. The white light looked as if it could illuminate the whole place on its own, and the black light looked as if it could engulf everything. They both forced her to close her eyes. 

What felt like hours, took only a few seconds. She felt a piercing pain inside of her again. However, unlike the last time, this time the pain was extremely piercing. 

She can not feel the pain on her body, nor can she feel the pain in her muscle, but it was extremely piercing. She seemed to have a ridiculous thought once during those few seconds, if I can not control it this time, I will die for sure. The type, when there is no reincarnation and no rebirth. 

The piercing pain faded soon. It gave her a refreshing feeling. She felt as if something changed, but could not explain it properly. 

Dark ball : "Celestine, it's Shadow."

Light ball : "Celestine, Litch."

The girl : "... "
