Admirable Goals “When did you…” It had been so long since he had seen this side of Milliardo he was wary of bringing back the face that worried him. He was a complex, many-faceted man who had surprised time and time again. He wondered if anyone really knew who Milliardo Peacecraft was. “When did I…?” “You have not spoken of exploring the stars before.” “I’m considered enough of a nutcase as it is. Telling someone I dream of making the impossible happen would lead to attention best avoided. They consider me to be dangerous and they watch me enough as it is." “I found out by accident.” Duo spoke up, grinning. “It was on one of these nights when the nightmares are bad and I was walking the halls like Milli. We came down to the kitchen and started to talk. Somehow we got onto the subject of dreams and things sort of progressed from there. He thought I’d think he was loony when I found out about his other plans stemming from the power station’s construction.” “Duo did not laugh.” Chang thought there was almost a little boy sense of wonder in those quiet words. “I am not laughing either. To want to go beyond what everyone else sees, to see what no one has seen before… these are admirable goals.” “I think it would be cool to go beyond the borders. To go to another star, find another solar system, maybe find another planet not so different from Earth. Maybe find one that is very different. Now that is adventure, Chang.” He could feel it deep within him, the quickening he had not known for a long time. It had not been there for so long, submerged beneath his family’s plans for him. His own aspirations had amounted to nothing before the needs of the clan and then the fury and guilt over the death of his wife. It had been a long time since he had found anything to excite the scholar buried deep within. Preparing for future generations to step so far beyond their ancestors was something that did excite the buried part of him he had ignored. “Will you join us, Chang Wu Fei? Will you assist us in preparing to send future generations to the stars? There must be a goal to maintain the focus on peace. Eventually there will be no room for expansion if we remain within the borders of our solar system. Mankind must look forward, always forward or they will falter and fall.” Milliardo was watching him and those blue eyes were filled with an excitement in life he could not ignore. The man played his part so well and all the while he had his own design. He should have had more faith in the man he held such a deep respect and affection for. Duo was watching him with smug satisfaction. “I would be honoured to give wings to our children.” End
