Simple Words This was one moment in time that was special. To most of the people who watched the event unfold it was simply the official resignation and handing over of power from one individual to another. To a small few watching amidst the many it was far more significant, something that had been long awaited. She had desired it and thought it might never happen, that to wish for it was to betray her fathers and their ideals which meant so much to her. She claimed two fathers. The biological father she had never known-well, had known but there was no lingering memory of him. He had provided half the genetic material that made her who she was, and she had been told he had loved her dearly, but it did not take away from the fact that she did not have memories of him. Then there was her other father, the man who raised her and who loved her and who had, with his dying breath, told her who she was, who she had been born to be. The Peacecraft King and Richard Darlian had one thing in common, their desire for peace. They had had the will to reach for it, to work for it and it had killed them both. If she continued would Peace be the death of her too? A frightening thought and one she did not wish to entertain. Just for this one moment in time she wanted to explore the lightness that filled her being. She felt so different. A few simple words, that was all it took to make her feel like this. A few simple words. I resign. Couched in flowery terms, an eloquent speech, thirty three thousand, seven hundred and twenty seven useless words designed simply to flatter those who used her and say what could be said in a few deceptively simple words. `Thank you for the memories. I resign.' She had good memories of her time in office as the Vice Foreign Minister. She had worked hard to bring about peace and to give that peace a real chance of working, but enough was enough. The truth was she was not Richard Darlian who had held the position before her, but she was equally dedicated to improving the lot of others. She was assured taking up this new role would give her greater opportunity and freedom to work effectively toward that goal… and still give her what she desired. Heero was there, close to the podium and watching her and everyone around her. He was someone she could rely on, dedicated to the peace as much as she was and also seeking a new existence. He was not the `Perfect Soldier' any longer but a highly trained young man who made the most wonderful eyes at her. With this one moment in time releasing her from what she had come to view as a prison, they could have a wonderful future together. ~ * ~ |
