of helping them there. We just have to take their jewelry off them. We will then bring them here, and you have the task to help them To take care of."Explains the light. What ??? We should wait here calmly?

"That's out of the question at all. If you really do that, then we want to come with you!" I say firmly and get up. It would be even better if I couldn't help my friends.

"You can't do that. It's too dangerous!" the light contradicts me.

"Now listen: They are our friends. And we will come with you or you can do without our help completely!" Jenny says angrily and stands next to me.

"You heard what Jenny said! Besides, Kai and Nini certainly trust us more than you do. They know us, not you. And Kai is inherently very suspicious. So you have no choice but to take us with you!" I serve up arguments. Inside, I'm totally upset. My heart is racing and my pulse is pounding on my neck. Finally there is the chance to see Kai and Nini again. How long haven't I seen her? Hours? Days?Weeks? I dont know. I've lost my sense of time. But I don't care either. I will do everything I can to see Nini and Kai again.

"Tala is right. Nini and Kai do not trust us. And maybe we can get them to come with us!" Jenny supports me.

"You might be right about that. But it is really very dangerous! Nini and Kai are camouflaging themselves. They look completely normal. Your eyes will no longer be empty and expressionless. But I ask you not to fall for this trick. You can. You can." Don't handle weapons yet. Kai and Nini, on the other hand, do. So please take care. "That means the light. Jenny and I nod unanimously.

"Well then, have breakfast to the end. I'll get you then." The light means and leaves us.





I feel weightless, and yet I have ground under my feet. I see everything like through a veil. Not entirely clear, but not blurry either. Jenny and I fly over the city together with 5 lights.But suddenly I am shaken.

"Watch out! They're attacking!" one of the lights says to Jenny and me.

"Tala look !!! The two are down there!" says Jenny and points to the place below us. I follow their signs and see Kai. My heart beats faster and pure joy spreads in my body. My gaze wanders to Nini who is standing next to Kai. But suddenly a bang shakes the city. Kai and Nini are thrown to the ground! Fear seizes me. Hopefully both of them are fine! But suddenly Nini jumps up. Your gaze meets mine and I freeze. I can see and feel anger, hatred, sadness and incomprehension. But I hold her gaze and just want to go down to her when she is thrown back to the ground and remains motionless.

Come on, this is the chance! We have to help them! "I say.

"Yes, quickly. Now or never!" Jenny agrees with me. Just as we want to go to our two friends, we are stopped by two lights.

"You can't go down there now! Do you see that man down there? He's going to kill you right away. It's too late! We have to get out of here now! As soon as we can!" the light sounds panicked.

And then we're drawn along. Jenny and I take a look back and I can barely see Kai helping Nini to get up and looking at the sky. Why? WHY damn ???? I want to help my friends !! And I can not!!!!! I hang my head and lower my gaze to the floor.

"We'll make it!" I can feel Jenny's breath on my ear. I lift my head and look at her. She too has doubts. This action was a major setback. Because I'm sure the longer Kai and Nini are in these bright lights, the stronger and angry they get.

"Yes, we HAVE to do it. Somehow." I whisper and hug Jenny in my arms. It has to succeed somehow. I feel that time is running like sand through our fingers.





"We would also like to be trained!" says Jenny to a light when we got back to the castle. For me this place is a castle. The torches, the dining room, the rooms. Everything reminds me of a lock.

"To be honest, we were hoping that you would!" says the light and leads us down a long corridor. At the end of the corridor is a large, heavy wooden door. It swings open with groans and squeaks. I stop dead in my tracks and open my eyes. We are in a huge training room. I look at everything very carefully in disbelief. Kai! Nini! We will save you! And then there are finally four of us again!



(Jenny's point of view)

“Good morning!” These words alone are enough to wake me up. Why am I such a light sleeper? I would love to cuddle up in my bed and go back to sleep. My bed?? Now I remember what happened. What hurt me so much, what made me happy.

"Good morning," I reply and sit up. There is a dark light right in front of us. And I thought Tala would have said it. But his voice sounds totally different!

After the light has gone, I ask Tala: "You slept well?" What a stupid politeness phrase! Can't think of anything better? No, when I see Tala my whole thinking is somehow blocked. At least I'm not starting to stammer! But that is little consolation.

Only now does it occur to me that the light said something about "breakfast in 10 minutes". Ten minutes? How am I supposed to do that? Before Tala knows it, I disappeared into the bathroom.



With a little delay I made it and sit down next to Tala, still out of breath. "What do you want from us now?" I ask. I thought about it the whole time and unfortunately it didn't always come out positive.

So the light tells us that Nini and Kai are in a city and that they want to free them.But then they cut each other !! I will help you! At least I want to do something for my friends. And if it's just to calm my guilty conscience. I WANT to help them both, at least try!



Tala agrees with me, but the light thinks it's too dangerous. We're not babies! And to save my friends, I would even give my life! "Now listen: They are our friends. And we will come with you or you can do without our help completely!" I say stubbornly. If it doesn't work with kind words, then with a little blackmail!

Together we work on the light until it agrees. When it warns against Nini and Kai, it sounds like my mother! As if we didn't trust us at all! I am filled with irrepressible joy to finally see her again. I would prefer not to eat anything, but start walking now. My stomach rebels with excitement anyway. But I don't want to piss off the lights.



My legs dangle as a light holds me tight around my waist. Even when I know it won't let me down, I'm slightly scared. Of course it's nice to fly like this, but I always feel this fear of falling straight into the depths. Even when a light fog envelops us, I can see the ground, which is very far below us. Tala smiles encouragingly at me and I can already feel my fear getting less. It won't go away completely, but it's easier to fight.



Suddenly I feel a pressure wave and we sag a little. I want to scream, but it sticks in my throat. "Watch out, they're attacking!" Calls out a dark light. But a little too late! We rise a little again until we are at the level of the others. The city is below us. And then I see her! Kai and Nini are standing in a large square directly below us. "Tala look !!! The two are down there!" I call out to him.My gaze stays on the two of them. You look completely normal, as always.



Suddenly Kai looks up. It's like he's looking me straight in the eye. But that can't be! He can't see me through the fog! Or is it? Panic seizes me. If he sees me now, then he will no longer trust us! His eyes are so cold. What did you do to him? Can he really see me



The next moment I breathe a sigh of relief. He looks away and continues walking normally. So I just imagined he was looking me straight in the eye. Suddenly Kai and Nini are thrown to the ground. Even up here we can still feel a small pressure wave. A scream wants to go up my throat, but it doesn't come out of my lips. My eyes are still fixed on Nini and Kai.



There, Nini is stirring! She jumps up, but in the next moment she is pulled back to the ground. Only then will I get out of my rigidity.If we don't help them now, it won't work anymore! Tala thinks the same as me. But how am I supposed to get down to the two of them? I ignore this question. Now only Kai and Nini are important! In my head there are only the two, nothing else. I do not notice that I am starting to fidget to come down and the light is holding me tightly. My gaze and my thoughts are now only for the two of them. My friends, I would give my life for them! But instead of approaching the two of them, I keep getting further and further away from them. Soon only two small points that cannot be distinguished from rubble can be seen.



We did not make it! What kind of friends are we that we let ourselves be dissuaded from the little danger of helping Kai and Nini? Anger slowly creeps up inside me. Anger at the dark lights, but also at myself. Why didn't I just break free? Why was I too weak?



"We would also like to be trained!"I stand stubbornly in front of the dark light and already expect it to reject us. But to my astonishment it agrees. Joy seizes me. It cannot surpass the sadness of defeat, but I feel a little better now. If I do Once training is behind me, I'll save Nini and Kai! I'll free them from the clutches of bright lights! And then the four of us will be together again! Just the four of us. No light and no dark lights!
