Broken Candle | Sky: Children of the Light

Prologue

"Look! A falling star!"

"A new child is coming! I repeat a new child is coming!"

"I wonder how they look like!"

A lot of children were excited for the new child who was about to be born. The star came closer and closer. Everyone was in awe of the star. The star landed on the constellation table. Everyone was circling around the table, around the new child. The star was bright, slowly forming into a child. It was dead silent, everyone focusing on the star. The star was fully formed into a child and everyone was looking at the child, who was sleeping peacefully. They woke up.

"Oh my god! It's a girl!"

"She looks pretty!"

"Silent!"

The newborn looked around, seeing many children looking back. The newborn stood up. People started flooding her with questions.

"What's your name?"

"OH EM GEE! How is it like to be a newborn?!"

"Are you okay?!"

"How does your candle look like?"

The child looked around confused. She answered the first child. "My name is Yachi." The children started repeating her name. She then looked at the child who asked the last question. She was wondering about what candle they were talking about. Yachi felt something in her and reached inside her pocket. She felt 3 pieces of something. She grabbed the pieces and she put the pieces in front of her. The children all gasped loudly.

"H-Her candle-!"

"It's b-broken!"

"How lame! I'm leaving."

"You really are a failure if your candle is broken. HAHA!"

Most of the children were laughing at Yachi, while others were looking at her in disgust. Everyone started leaving her on the constellation table. Yachi started crying. "Hey, don't cry!" She heard someone say and looked up to see two people standing there. A girl and a boy were standing in front of her. "W-Who are you." Yachi managed to get out. The girl smiled at her.

"I'm Aleena and this is Jeremy, we would like to be your friend!"
