Chapter 2:

Scene 2 "Head down soldiers".

Infinite Loops Book 1 "The Kingdom of Sunflowers". Section 1


-Finally Abu has left, he must be sleeping now.

-What are you doing sister, stop mumbling and go to sleep or Sunflower Head will come for you.

-Shhhhh yes yes yes to sleep. -I said lightly waiting patiently for him to fall soundly asleep, then with the agility that characterized me I got out of bed and sneaked out in the dark, tucked by the noises of the night I headed to the meadow.

-I run out of time, whenever the sun falls, ceasing to illuminate our fields of sunflowers, forcing them to stop looking up, bending their heads down and looking up.


heads like a whole army of soldiers with their heads down, as if they had lost the battle, bathing in the red light of this blood moon, an event that only lasts three nights a year, I feel deep inside me a shiver run through me from the tips of my toes to the antennae of my little head.

This landscape that I contemplate is a warning, the world, destiny, or something whatever or whoever it is, is trying to tell me a message, but I didn't sneak out at night to see landscapes, I went out with the objective of training my flight.

A quiet night is perfect to practice, my official princess coronation is very close, and it is tradition that the princess arrives flying after cutting a bouquet of flowers composed of the four main fields, to give a couple of turns in the air and dance the royal dance among the clouds, then come down at full speed and between applause receive my crown, it sounds simple if not for the small detail, that I can not fly.

I should have learned a year ago, I should have been taught by my mommy, that is the tradition, it is forbidden for anyone else to teach a princess to fly, but she is gone, and I have no time left, the worst thing is that I don't even know where to start.

I tried to move them as if they were other arms, but they don't react, I also ran very fast and jumped like I do when I fly a kite, but even if I make it fly, I always stay on the ground, just watching it soar.

Tonight especially, as the moonlight is red, all the scratches and scrapes I have collected all over my body are not noticeable.

The goal tonight was to climb the hill to jump and take advantage of gravity combined with the wind.

I ran with all my might, opened my little wings and took a great leap of faith into the field of cempazúchitl flowers.


But I fell again, at least they are the softest flowers my Abu was right, after all, I managed to glide a couple of meters before collapsing like a sack full of rocks, but that feeling of gliding is already a good reward, I wonder.

What would it be like to reach the moon?

Here knocked down on the ground but still undefeated, I see through the clouds to that beautiful red moon and as I reach out my hand I feel I can touch it, and I can't help but think, what if the moon isn't that far away, what if it managed to fly to it, what if only no one has tried before.

-New Skill Acquired: Planning

-The voice of the system has said "plan", that's incredible, honeyly sensational, my nights of effort in all these months, my scrapes and bruises have not been in vain.

-A new ability that is very rare even among royalty, for tonight, I reached my limit, the best thing will be to recover Mana to continue tomorrow, and it will be back to bed before Sunflower Head comes for me.
