The Same Goal “You… forgive me?” How could he stand there and say those words to her, the woman who left a child to die in the flames casting a sickly red glow over the room? It had been dark, acrid smoke filling the room, blotting out the light except for that angry red glow. His silhouette was burned into her memory and something inside had snapped and she had run, leaving him to burn alive. The palace had become a world of strange shapes and horrible sounds. Black, not only the darkness of night but the stygian gloom of the billowing smoke, the growing roar of flame and the horrible red glow as she had run close to flame. That was how she had known to turn aside, the glow and the burst of heat as fire exploded near her. And the smell. The terrible smell of burning. They had set the city ablaze, not just the palace. She had no idea how she actually escaped the palace and found herself in the gardens. In the killing field. “They set fire to the palace to force us outside.” Her voice startled her out of the memory. She recalled it more clearly now than at any time in the past. A paradise, Sanc had once been called. It was no paradise now and never would be again. “They burned Paradise.” “They burned a ideal, a threat to their dominance.” His voice was quiet, deep and husky. It had been a long time since she had the opportunity to speak to someone who was there. Who remembered. Her husband had refused to speak of that time, focusing his attention on the new position he found for himself in the same halls walked by those who had ordered the slaughter. “Richard worked for them, to ensure it did not happen again. He said, raise Relena, forget how she came to us and love her. He would ensure the colonies did not suffer as Sanc had.” “In our own ways we each worked for the same goal. You reared Relena to peace, he worked to keep the status quo and I fought for peace.” “For peace? You joined Oz, the Alliance’s butchers. You did to others exactly what was done to Sanc. How was that working for peace?” “I was a part of the Specials, Lady Alice, not Oz as it was beneath the control of the Alliance. Sometimes you need to capture the enemy’s weapon and reforge it to better suit your purpose.” “Kushrenada was far from the hero he is made out to be. He was a butcher, the same as the Alliance. He slaughtered the peace movement within the Alliance, how is that reforging a weapon or fighting for peace?” “Treize was by no means a saint, but he was infinitely practical and a student of history. There was reason behind every action taken during the war, though most fail to see. Fewer still understand.” End
