The Cycle of Rebirth (Part 2)
Welcome to part 2!!
If you haven't read part 1, I highly suggest you do so you can get what's happening.
Anyway, get ready for the fluff and adoption here, as I said in the last part, it's common for veterans to adopt moths so watch out for that.
~~~~~~
Cold...
Cold is all the Little Moth could feel.
They felt cold, like something was missing from them.
The Little Moth could also feel themselves slowly falling.
The cold around them felt too suffocating, too much.
As the Little Moth slowly fell, they felt the ground from under them.
The Little Moth pushed themselves up, trying to look around, but everything was too dark.
They couldn't seem to open their eyes, almost as if something was keeping them from opening them.
The Little Moth felt themselves to be drowning from the cold, until they felt a familiar calling, the calling of warmth.
They slowly stood up, then began walking with a limp, slowly making their way to the warmth.
The Little Moth almost ended up tripping themselves a couple of times but still managed to keep walking until finally making it to where the warmth was.
The warmth was so strong, the Little Moth could feel the source radiating the warmth from where they were.
The Little Moth reached a hand out to touch the warmth, before they could, another hand reached out and grabbed the Little Moth's hand.
The hand was very warm compared to the Little Moth's hand, which was freezing cold to the touch.
The Little Moth pulled the hand up, soaking up the warmth that the hand was radiating.
They paused for a moment before deciding to open their arms in the form of asking the warmth if they wanted a hug.
The warmth also paused before deciding to the Little Moth.
The Little Moth returned the hug, feeling alive as they were hugging the warmth.
For a moment, the warmth was gone, the next, the Little Moth felt like something in them was filled and complete.
They opened their eyes, the area around them was like a black void, except for the light that was calling them to it.
The Little Moth took a look at themself, and noticed that they were glowing.
They blinked a few times before looking up at the light that was calling them to it.
The Little Moth took a big breath, took a running start, and flew towards the light.
------
In the Eye of Eden, the statues began to shake.
Suddenly, multiple kids of light broke out from the cracks of the statues.
The children of light then flew away.
------
The Little Moth flew out of a hole in the clouds.
They were flying across multiple sets of stairs and clouds.
As they kept flying, the Little Moth saw a familiar figure.
Once they got closer, the Little Moth recognized the figure as the Skykid.
The Little Moth immediately flew down to the Skykid, crashing into them with a hug, which knocks both of them to the ground.
They could feel tears coming from their eyes and fall down from their mask.
The Little Moth was hugging the Skykid tightly in a death grip, afraid that if they let go, the Skykid would disappear.
The Skykid hugged the Little Moth just as tightly just to reassure the Little Moth that they aren't leaving.
Both of them stayed like that for a while, just silently reassuring each other.
Eventually, they let each other go and stood up.
They started to walk inside the huge doors, holding each other's hands and planning on never letting go of the others hand.
Once they passed the huge doors, the Skykid seemed to be buzzing with energy and excitement.
The Skykid pulled the Little Moth along, causing the Little Moth to almost face plant in the snow.
They started to slide down the snow, passing by the jellyfishes and went through a tunnel with two jellyfishes inside of it.
After making it out of the small tunnel, they kept sliding down until the Skykid decided to make a leap of faith and jumped with a boost of their flap.
The Little Moth freaked out for a second before realizing that they were flying above clouds.
They looked ahead, making eye contact with the Skykid.
The Skykid seemed to be silently asking if they were alright, the Little Moth nodded, which seemed to be the right answer since the Skykid nodded and went back to looking ahead.
The Skykid and the Little Moth flew for a bit, seeing that there were huge jellyfishes up ahead.
After a bit, both of them landed on top of the jellyfish, causing the Little Moth's curiosity to skyrocket up into the sky.
The Little Moth's hand left the Skykid's hand, who was just about to fly to the next jellyfish but stopped themself when the Little Moth let their hand go.
Filled with curiosity, the Little Moth bent down to touch the jellyfish.
Their hand seemed to be touching an almost water like substance, stars seemed to shine through the mask's eye holes.
As the Little Moth kept touching the giant jellyfish, the Skykid started to chuckle, fondness seeping through the chuckles.
The Skykid soon floated over towards the Little Moth, tapping them on their shoulder, which figuratively popped the Little Moth's bubble of curiosity.
The Little Moth looked up at the Skykid, realizing that their curiosity got the better of them and that they let go of the Skykid's hand.
They immediately started to bow at the Skykid as a way of saying sorry, while the Skykid was trying to reassure the Little Moth that it was okay since moths like them were naturally curious.
After a bit of more apologizing and reassurance, the Skykid held their hand out, which the Little Moth immediately took.
The Skykid, after making sure that the Little Moth's hand was secure in their own hand, flew at a very high speed onto the next jellyfish.
Once they made it to the next jellyfish, the Little Moth was holding the Skykid's hand tighter.
The Skykid looked towards the Little Moth, making sure that the Little Moth was alright.
The Little Moth nodded their head quickly, reassuring the Skykid a little bit.
The Skykid soon flew once again at high speeds for a small amount of time before slowing down.
Both of them were next to birds, who were flying up as the clouds began to ascend.
As the Skykid continued to fly upwards, two flying mantas appeared from the clouds.
The Little Moth let out a noise of amazement and excitement while the Skykid giggled at the Little Moth's honk.
The further the both of them flew, the sooner they saw the buildings around them start to fall with thunder striking at random areas.
The Little Moth squeezed the Skykid's hand, which in turn caused the Skykid to rub small circles on the Little Moth's hand.
They both continued on their flight, before coming across a huge building that fell ahead of them, blocking their path.
As they got closer, a whale appeared from behind them and ran into the building, causing it to break into huge and small pieces of rocks.
Lighting was dancing around them, striking at random areas around them.
As the Skykid and the Little Moth ere flying through the storm, the Little Moth noticed a huge rock coming at them.
Just before the Little Moth could let out a honk of panic, the rock touched them and broke into smaller pieces.
The Little Moth let out a honk of confusion, causing the Skykid to look at them.
They tilted their head in a questioning way, the Little Moth paused before shaking their head.
The Skykid nodded before looking ahead, soon both of them made it out of the storm and into the sky.
The sky had a dark blue hue with many stars that were shinning brightly.
The Skykid and the Little Moth kept flying towards the sky, soon going by what seemed to be a flying temple.
Both the Skykid and the Little Moth see a flying manta fly alongside with them.
The Little Moth let out a big honk, soon after the Skykid did the same.
After a while of flying, the Little Moth notices that there's something up ahead.
They tug on the Skykid's shirt to get their attention, once they do, the Little Moth points up ahead.
The Skykid looks up ahead, they soon recognize what was up ahead.
They looked towards the Little Moth and gave them a look of reassurance, to which the Little Moth gave a little nod.
The closer the both of them got, the more the Little Moth recognized what was ahead of them.
Once they got close enough, the Little Moth recognized that it was the spirits that they had been saving.
The Skykid and the Little Moth started to pass by while flying mantas and birds flew past them.
While flying by the spirits, the Little Moth could tell that they were slowly turning to the left.
As they passed by the last spirit, the Little Moth started to see other Skykids that were holding hands.
That's when they saw it, a giant ball of light that was letting out a call for all the light creatures and skykids to come to it.
The Little Moth felt tears well up and fall through the mask's eye holes, there were so many skykids holding each other's hands.
The Skykid looked towards the Little Moth, and saw the tears falling down.
They rubbed the Little Moth's hand in understanding and comfort, after all, the Skykid understood that going through this experience was overwhelming.
Soon, the Skykid and the Little Moth go through the giant ball of light, then everything goes white.
------
The Children of Light soon land, finally making it to the area of rebirth to meet their new savior.
They didn't have to wait for too long as the Skykid and the Little Moth, their savior, landed in front of them.
The Children of Light put their hands on their chests then raised their hands in the air, the Skykid and the Little Moth do the same a few moments later.
Soon, the Children of Light turn into small balls of light, the balls of light then start ascending towards the stars, which they would turn into once again..
The Little Moth noticed that the Skykid wasn't radiating the warmth from their hand, so they turned to the Skykid and saw that they weren't glowing anymore.
They also saw that the Skykid didn't have their cape anymore.
The Little Moth looked down at their hands and saw that they also weren't glowing.
They tapped their back to see if their cape was still there.
But alas, the Little Moth didn't feel their cape on their back.
They were about to panic before the Little Moth felt a hand ruffle their head.
The Little Moth looked up to see that it was the Skykid, with their hand in the Little Moth's hair.
They could see the fondness in the Skykid's eyes as they continued to play with their hair.
For a bit, both of them stood still as the Skykid played with the Little Moth's hair while the Little Moth was leaning into the touch.
Soon, the Skykid lifted their hand from the Little Moth's hair and held their hand out to them.
The Little Moth immediately took the hand and both of them began to walk straight forward.
They soon come across a wardrobe on the floor, which seem similar to the wardrobe on the small island and the wardrobe in the Aviary Village.
The Skykid and the Little Moth continued their walk, finally making it to where the spirits that the Little Moth has saved.
As they walked forward, the Little Moth started to hear bells chiming from the door up ahead.
The bells were oddly similar to the bells that chimed in the Isle of Dawn.
The closer the both of them got, the louder the bells got.
It got to the point of the Little Moth collapsing due to how loud the bells were.
The Skykid stopped walking, before deciding to pick the Little Moth up bridal style, holding them close to their chest.
The Skykid and the Little Moth go through the door, finally going to go through the cycle of rebirth, everything once again goes white.
------
At the front of the Aviary Village a pair of falling stars were landing.
Once the pair of falling stars touched the ground, the falling stars soon turned into the Skykid and the Little Moth.
The both of them seemed to be hugging each other, with the Skykid's cape covering the Little Moth up, with only their head being visible.
They started to wake up, untangling themselves from each other.
The Skykid stood up with ease, having gone through the process many times.
The Little Moth, on the other hand, could barely feel their legs.
They tried to stand up a couple of times, but each time ended with them meeting the floor.
After the fifth time of trying and failing, the Skykid just walked up to the Little Moth and picked them up, cradling them up to their chest.
The Little Moth let out a startled honk before covering their mask in embarrassment.
The Skykid chuckled before they began to walk forward, meeting the Hopeful Steward.
The Hopeful Steward waved at them, both of them gave them a honk of acknowledgement.
All three of them heard something and looked up, seeing light falling down in the Aviary Village.
Four spirits soon landed in front of the Aviary Village, the Hopeful Steward waved at the Pointing Candlemaker, who waved back.
The spirits then walked inside the village.
The Hopeful Steward gave the Skykid a look, silently asking if they just adopted the Little Moth from Eden.
The Skykid smugly nodded, the Little Moth moved their head to look at the Hopeful Steward and perked up.
They waved at them, which the Hopeful Steward waved back.
The Hopeful Steward gave the Skykid another look before they walked up the small hill and went inside the village.
The Little Moth looked up to the Skykid, unknowingly giving them the baby eyes.
The Skykid looked down at the Little Moth, noticing the look in their eyes.
They chuckled, the Skykid held the Little Moth even closer to their chest, and began to go up the small hill and walked inside the Aviary Village.
The Skykid then went to look for an area to nest in with their now adopted moth in their arms.

This is finally done!!
And yet, I already want to make more of them and their parental and child relationship.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm torturing myself or something else.
Welp, hope you enjoyed this since it was very fun for me to write.
Cya!!!
