It was too difficult for an Illumise to remember the exact time,Of how many years ago she led him through that dark and empty field with her flashing tail-light.
She only knew that she had been with him since then.
He would always hold her with his pale long fingers.His hands were always cold,she knew but she didn't mind.
They spent those early days in an old,deserted cabin.Life was hard there:no electricities,no fresh water,no message from the other side of the world.
She was the only source of brightness he could get in the moonless cloudy nights.
"So glad to have you here,my Illumise."With these words he would put his hand on her forehead and smile.He was a silent guy,formed from years' lacking of communication.He would rather sit there minding his work,she understood.
However there were somethings he repeated from time to time,especially in those gloomy nights."Every night will soon come to its end."She didn't know whether he said it to comfort her or to encourage himself.
But she would always nod as he say that."Surely it will."She would answer him if she could speak.
Fluorescence is a kind of cold light,she sometimes thought about it sadly.And sometimes she wished she was a candle,so that she would be able to give him warmth as well as light.
Then she could lit up his little cabin,lit up his gray gray time.
She knew he was planning something about his future.It was natural since no one could bear ruining his life in such a hopeless place,putting all his time in to a piece of exhausted land.
She saw him looking in to distance when the dusk was falling.Far away in the edge of the sight was the city of Lavender,a city without difference between nights and days.Shinning forever,shadeless forever.
Such a dizzy brightness at the horizon,seemed like a mirage.
"Soon or later I will find a job there."He said hopefully."We will end up everything here and start a new life in that brighter city,my Illumise."
He loved reading.He spent a lot of time sitting in front of his old-fashioned wooden table reading something.He read all sorts of books,he read his own future reflecting in them.
And she would read everything through a simple smile on his face.
"Dear Illumise,we will move to Lavender.There the nights are as bright as day,you can see the fantastic neon lights shinning even in the midnight.Lamps light up every room;songs and prayers are heard in the remotest street;there's no place for darkness or loneliness."
"We will never suffer from any night again."
"As every night will soon come to its end."She thought.
Slowly she began her dance of an Illumise,in the dawn light,in the rhythm of his breathe.
"Be brave,we'll soon overcome the hard times.As Every night will come to its end."She sang her little prayer to weeds and flowers,they nodded to her gently.
"The dream won't be so far from us."
And finally in a summer,he sold his Field and cabin at the lowest price you can imagine.They moved to the city in his desire.
Lavender City.
Everything was going on as he had planned.He found a job in bicycle shop,rented an apartment which was facing the street.They're new home was small,only one-third as the size of the old cabin.But it was modernized,at least.
The streets in Lavender are lined up with street lights.They gave out their lights from dusk to dawn,never made a single mistake.
She looked out of the window,then hid her head under her wings as if felt ashame about her dim tail-light.
It has became his hobby that he would turn on the light at the very moment he entered the room.A flood of rays left her nowhere to escape.
He spent his first sum of wage on a high-tech eyesight protecting lamp."It's wonderful indeed."He remarked.
"Surely it is."She nodded docilely instead of speaking,waved her wings to flew to the corner of the room.
She knew there would no longer be a place for her on this small desk.
The new job was not that easy.He was growing more and more tired each passing day.
It was too inconsiderate to require him to spend any precious time with her.So she just held herself in the corner,filled her mind with happy memories of the old days.
Their cabin,their field,their simple happiness.
That was the night they had already passed.
Great Lavender City was too bright to see an Illumise's tail-light,too bright to care about an Illumise's tearful eyes.
She even began to doubt that if she had ever been able to shine.
Or maybe she was only a oblivious bug from the beginning.
A small drop of tear fell from the high apartment building,then vanished in to thin air before touch the ground.
However in one evening,all of sudden there came an electric short.
Lamps,musics,everything seemed to be stopped.
The journey to home became a nightmare,several times he had merely avoided crashing into wire poles.
It's natural for a city-resident to have a bad night-sight.
He took plenty of trouble to found the right key to the lock.When he finally came in he stretched his finger to turn on the switch as usual,but the room remained in a chaos of darkness.
"Oh yes,electric short."He said to himself.
Things were piled up at this eventful night.He remembered there was a report to be finished by tomorrow,however without a light he could only sit there wasting his time.
Then suddenly he recalled something:he had an Illumise.
"Illumise.Dear Illumise."He called,there were no response.
"That's strange.She's not at home."He thought:"Where an Illumise could have gone in such a crowded city?"
"Ii--Lu."Just then the lovely voice came through the door.He rushed to open it joyfully,paying no attention on how many things were lying up-side-down along his way.
"Where have you been to?You've almost driven me crazy,dear Illumise."He gave her a big embrace.Then swept away the useless lamp and gently placed her in his desk.
"See?I could not even do a thing if you're not here."
His face looked pale and tired in her chilly light.She stared at him for some minutes,then couldn't help broke in to tears.
He seemed noticed something,as he stopped writing to smile at the Illumise who accompanied him through all these years.
At that moment,all the stories about Lavender and city faded into a mirage in haze.Though tearful eyes she saw a little child who lost his way in that dark and empty field.
He raised his finger to touch her forehead,and promised they would be together ever after.
Their field,their cabin...the silly happinesses she had ever imagined.
Are all lit up,in her dim,shinning,illumise.
