Of Fantasy And Reality “Look, Chang. Look through the doors, past the glitz and glamour and really see the people. They are there to be seen by everyone and there are others who were not invited or refused the invitation. The room is full of people representing those who lurk in shadows waiting to backstab the man you only see as a sex toy.” He watched Chang puff up and thought him a particularly fine looking Bantam rooster. He could appreciate the dark exotic beauty and his fire was intoxicating. He would be a challenge and a good foil for Peacecraft. Sparks would fly and while they would make a fine pair there were too many similarities to allow an easy relationship. They needed someone to keep the love on a par with the passion. Maxwell’s zest for life would balance their brooding. //If they ever reach square one. Stubborn dragon, I should leave you to wallow and drown in your flooding river. It would not be fair to Duo or Zechs. Quatre would have my hide and I want no more fights.// “Why are you looking at me like that?” “I believe there is a Chinese or Japanese folk tale that speaks of lovers, a star spirit I think and a man born to walk the earth. I seem to recall a goddess placed a river of stars between the skies and the Earth to keep them apart.” “The Night of Seven QiXi?” Trowa shrugged. “Probably. Birds, once a year, flew between the heavens and the Earth and formed a bridge allowing the lovers to meet.” “From metaphors to folk tales. I definitely preferred you silent.” “Think of Quatre as your bridge of birds. Take a good look at the world, not just this corner. Take a closer look at the man who wears the crown. When you see past the Crown and past his looks and grace you might find evidence of a brain and the will to use it. You will find both talent and skill in the blood and bones of the Peacecrafts. Discover the real man and his potential and then realize who it was who bridged your fantasy with reality.” “He does not want to be there!” “Doesn’t he? Bugger the rest of the world and what they think. See what he was doing to himself. He’s alive, Chang. He was punishing himself, hiding away from the world and from the pain of looking into himself so deeply. He found the resolve to make a difference when the whole world was at war. I couldn’t have done what he did and finding myself alive show the strength to try to live again. I would have tried to end my life. He does not belong hiding in dark and gloomy houses, avoiding the world and reliving everything that was done and lost. You would have sanctioned that tragedy.” “He does not want to be there.” softer with defeat but stubborn to the end. End
