The Last Guardian of the Sky

By: Nathanael Bennanda Samuel

Dusk began to creep across the sky, leaving traces
of orange on the clouds surrounding the small village

where Kian lived. The village is located on the edge of

one of the floating islands, far from the hustle and bustle
of the big city. The large shady trees seemed to protect

the wooden houses from the wind that kept crashing
gently, carrying the faint scent of the sea.

Kian sat in front of his small hut, looking at the

cozy scenery, his hands twisting a small knife as if he

had nothing to do.

“Uh, Kian!” a female voice broke the silence.
Lira walked over with light steps, carrying a basket full

of wildflowers. “You're still playing with that knife.
Don't you get bored?”
