Lost In Our Past “There are many matters to be considered in becoming The Chang. Milliardo has troubles enough without concerning himself with my woes.” “He would be willing to help. He’s offered a place for anyone who comes to Sanc, hasn’t he?” Duo watched the kettle stubbornly refuse to boil. “He has offered prime real estate on the outskirts of the city. Land to permit them to build yet remain a part of New Port City. In the New Year it would be beneficial for us to visit and discuss how best to develop it.” “You need to get his help in approaching the survivors. From the outset you need a position of strength; a strong and sympathetic ear, be undeniably the ruler.” More and more Duo was surprising him and Wu Fei found his desire to run and hide from the inevitable fading. Duo was, in his own opinion, an expert at running and hiding. It was time to face up to their responsibilities and how could he, the son of the Dragon Clan, be any less brave than a child of the streets of L2? Some of his people might have become children of the streets while his courage had wavered and he hid from the truth. “I do not understand your confidence.” Duo glanced over his shoulder and shrugged. “What’s not to be confident about? I’ve had enough hard knocks and I know what it feels like to hit bottom. Unless you want to stay down there and be walked on, you have to get up and stand tall. We’ve all been lost in our past, it’s chaos and darkness and memories. Lingering in the slime won’t bring about something better. I want something better. I want you and I want Zechsy and I am damned if I am going to be told I can’t have you because it is ‘not done’.” “You have no idea the opposition you will face, Duo. From everyone. I will be expected to marry and provide an heir to the Clan, my personal desires mean nothing. My heart’s desire simply does not matter. The people come first.” “Yep, I know all that. Tell me, does it only take moving your kin into a new city to give them a sense of home? Earth itself will be strange to most of them, colony-bred that they are.” “It will be the new generation and the one following who will consider New Port City and Sanc in general to be home. These things take time.” “Exactly. You will be expected to provide an heir, possibly more than one, and since you are The Chang I take it only the best breeding stock will do?” Wu Fei scowled. “Where are you going with this, Duo?” “You want them to become a part of the land, not just the city. It’s really simple. Tie their blood to the very soil and make them a part of Sanc.” End
