Mesec is alive again. He returns to a world in darkness, a small halo of light the only sign of the sun that is hidden. It does not deter him - barely even worries him. What is darkness to him, after all? He had been born into a world of shadows, and he had just climbed his way through the afterlife. His heart thunders in his chest but it is not out of fear.
He cannot name the emotion that drives his pulse, it is different than anything else he has felt. It is warmth against the chilled air. He could, but does not, return to Loess right away - there’s something more important that needs to be done first.
Mesec is looking for her, for Alaska.
The silver glow radiating from him is dimmer now but in contrast to the darkness it is bright enough to mimic the moonlight it resembles. He coasts through the air on glowing wings - not yet thinking that it’s going to be difficult to find her when everyone looks the same on the ground. He’s too full of life, of excitement, the thrill of having more time. His memories are still there but the sharp edges of the darkest ones have softened since he passed through the gateway.
For now, all Mesec knows is hope. And it’s enough to keep his wings beating as he searches for Alaska and his heart racing at the idea of seeing her again.
