I Hired an Angel
Prologue: "Please help me to be strong!" The clouds whirled as the words floated on the wind, arriving with all thier poignancy intact. Phrases like these were not all that strange to this place, yet these were immediatly given attention. "We don't hear that voice often!" "So true. He so seldom asks for anything." "I believe the last time was with his friend!" "The only time I can remember as well!" A rustling sound, then the same voice again. "Through all of his trials only that one time." "He could have asked for anything and it might be considered. After all he has an excellent history!" "And he is simply trying more of the same." "Then it's agreed! He gets the help he needs?" "Of course!" Nods from the entire group. "But who?" "Now there's our problem. Things are spread a little thin right now!" "Trieze?" "Can't, he's still with the Barton family. We need him to speed things up!" "Noted! I'll see if perhapes he could use some help. How about Helen?" "She's still with those children. They're having a terrible time. And everyone else is just as busy!" The group sighed as one. There were no words for a moment, but they knew the'd all come to the same inevitable conclusion. "He's supposed to get a rest, we promised." "Too true! But we have no other choice." "He's exhausted." "But this one is very special." "Oh my. He's been look forward to time off. He more then earned it after that thing with Dermail." " I can't blame him. That was horrible. And if not for the grand daughter, I would have said what will be, will be, and cleared our hands of it." "Just once more." "We've said that before." "And the time before that." "Even before that. He swore he'd make us keep the next promise though!" "He wants rest. A long rest. And he deserves it. We've drained him of his energy for so long." "We could assist, give a boost, a loan so to speak." "Too dangerous. It could wipe him out completely" "And we'd be lost without him." "It's all senseless. He won't do it." "Silence, please!" The stern new voice, hushed the chatter almost immediately. "Have you all forgotten?" "What, Mame?" "Quatre." "Mame?" "Or perhaps I should say his nature. His heart, the very things that make him our best representative." "But even the most tremendous of hearts can be pushed passed their limits." "Indeed. Though even Quatre doesn't even understand his own limitations. He will go!" "Can you be certain, Mame?" the voice added swiftly. "Easy. We'll let them meet!" "That's it?" "That's all it will take!" ~ * ~ |
