Summary
For a second, Towa can see it 一 the deep, dark sky in her eyes, but there’s blinking lights dancing in there, swirling, swaying like balls of fire animated by a music tied to Suisei’s very Essence, a music Towa pretends she doesn’t feel resonating within her bones.
For a second, Towa can see it 一 the lights missing in the sky.

It is good. Chapter 2 is a shortened version of the story, rather than a continuation of it. I prefer the first chapter, as it shows off more of the character's personalities.
It was the winning entry for one of Nexon's Story Contest for Vindictus, hosted around Spring 2015. Here's the April 2015 Battle Report and the one-page edit's reading, as I decided to maintain the description's broken links when copying it over.
Citadel, the writer's in-game guild at the time, gets a minor mention here, which might be confusing to some readers. I do not know of this guild's current status, as I do not play this game. This mention is not really detrimental to the reading experience, as Vindictus has a roster of player characters, although it does make the story dated.
I have found it difficult to find the other submissions for this contest, given that Nexon seems to have rearranged Vindictus's forums and news over the years. While they do provide contest archives on their forum, that archive's earliest entry was from October 2016 and as such doesn't cover this particular contest.
The Wayback Machine is similarly unhelpful, as all of its crawls were redirected to another page that requests a login.
I am surprised to randomly tumble into a scenario involving lost, if not heavily disorganized, media within two months of being here. For reference, the entry that placed sixth in this contest is hosted on this site, but I've had no luck finding any of the others. It seems almost certain at this point that the other entries were posted on the forum but never put into another public archive.

Bookmarker's Notes
Reading the grammatical rules of Early Modern English is fun.
Because it is difficult to learn how thou was used in Early Modern English without bumping into pseudo-archaic or unintentionally erroneous usage, reading reference material is necessary.
In all honesty, the oddest part is thou's conjugations on modal auxiliary verbs, which do not get conjugated by person in modern usage.
That and VSO order phrases like “Lovest thou me,” which translates to “Do you love me,” which haven't been idiomatic constructions in modern English since as late as 1812, given it isn't mentioned in the section Of the Verb in A Grammar of the English Tongue.

Summary
Rushia always thought that if she was a butterfly, she would learn how to enjoy the fragility of life just a little bit more.
But she wasn’t.

Great. This work makes good use of butterflies' associated concepts, such as how people created them.
