Lest We Forget The darkness was a friend, permitting him to blend within its close embrace. He was silent, a ghost and he had the advantage of home ground. He could pass unseen by the guards set here for his own safety. There were memorials within Sanc to commemorate the horror of the past and the hope for the future but the one memorial he had hoped to see they had ignored. There was no memorial in the home of the pacifists to the soldiers who had died so that they might retain their peaceful ways. The parliament thought of it as hypocrisy. //They know nothing. They should at least give honour to those who gave them this opportunity to live again. // A shadow moved near the ancient oak and he paused, waiting, but the form resolved itself into the tall thin man who for so long had guarded the secrets of the Peacecrafts. "All is prepared, Sir." Obsidian eyes narrowed, noting the stone that activated the hidden door before flicking to meet eyes of deep blue tinted with lavender. In mutual silence they settled within their concealing deep shadow and waited. The moon had crossed an hours worth of sky before the door opened and two dark clad forms slipped out into the gardens. Duo slipped out of shadow and ghosted up to the oak, waiting until Wu Fei joined him before opening the door. A final furtive glance around to ensure there were no witnesses and they slipped within the embrace of ancient stone. Moonlight and candles. Duo gazed in quiet contemplation at the flower covered
mounds that clearly marked two graves. No Wu Fei moved to the eastern plaque, frowning. "Walker. Corsica Base." Duo considered him for a moment and then moved to the western wall. "Otto. New Port City, Sanc." // We should not be here.// Obsidian eyes again met blue and as Duo moved to the Northern plaque Wu Fei moved to the south. "Lucrezia Noin Peacecraft." Duo's hushed voice filled the garden, a breath of wonder and sorrow. Wu Fei felt his heart clench and his fingers lightly touched the plaque before him. "Treize Kushrenada." They met at the cairn and stared at the plaque. It was plain, no decoration at all and the words were simple. For the Soldiers. End. |
