Under the Colors

[Cephrien]

Ceph stared at the ground and narrowed his eyes. "...You feel like a great weight has been lifted from your shoulders...but you also feel bad and horrible.. because you know that the ones that love your victims will always grieve over their death.."

[Pakkanen]

Pakkanen knows that he does not have the power required to raise the dead. He will need to combine his powers with a more powerful fairy. The only one he knows is Hedeon, and in this situation, Hedeon will not help him.

Without any other options, Pakkanen goes to Hedeon's room and enters. He stands before the gray skinned fairy and bows his head in submission.

"I have a favor to ask of you, you will not wish to do it, but it is important to me. I need you to help me with something and if you did, I would give you anything. I would give you my soul, my life, my memories, my wings, anything that you asked of me, that is how important this is."

[Hoshi]

I put my hand on Cephrien's back to comfort him.

"Someday Cephrien, people won't kill each other. Killing is wrong. But Red Infinity kills so that someday they won't have to. It is being done for the better world. And even if we never live to see it and even if we have to hurt thousands, people in the future will look back at us as heros"

[Sasha Kropotkin]

I lower my head.

"Maybe you're right..." I say, resigned, then continue working on myself, trying not to think of what happened.

[Cephrien]

Ceph closed his eyes and smiled. "..Yeah...maybe you're right.." He said and looked up into the sky. "...I'm a Black Demon...so i'll probobly be here until the end of the world.. " He paused. "...So if there is any end to this sensless violence..i'll be able to live and see the day.."

[Hedeon]

Hedoen looks up from his paperwork and sees Pakkanen standing before him. He looks back down, and continues working.

"As long as it has nothing to do with Sasha." He replies, and begins considering all of the things he could get from Pakkanen.

[Hoshi]

"I'm not sure how long I will live, maybe a few hundred more years, I'm not sure. But I'm sure you will live to see the day when this world is better and there is finally peace."

Talking like this makes me feel sad, but it also makes me feel closer to Cephrien.

"It is really sad sometimes. It is sad to see so much wrong in the world, but that is very old. Red Infinity didn't create these problems, they are just old problems being blamed on a new government."

[Damascus]

-Oooh, that's much better!- Damascus said, then rolled over on to his side to lie down. -First we go to a remote area of the Virgin Islands, alone. Now, you wanna go to rebel majority populated Helsinki, to see the feminists. Who, I might add, are probably not going to be that happy to see anyone from Red Infinity, no matter the Ministry or involvement.-

He rolled back over on to his stomach. -So, we going now or later?-

[Pakkanen]

"It does have to do with Sasha, but hear me out. You are a good friend to me, I care about you, and wish to make you happy. But I also want to help Sasha. He was kind to me and is someone that I care about. He is like your brother, Hedeon. But I understand why you might dislike him. That is why I would give anything if you helped me to help him. My life is yours, I would never see and help him again. It is a one time thing." Pakkanen explains.

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

"We can meet them in the Virgin Islands. I heard that Red Infinity agents are there helping to rebuild. We will stay at the island until they return and do our best to patch things over with them."

[Cephrien]

Ceph slightly widened his eyes and then narrowed them. He wondered what law made the Rebels come together.. was it just all of them put together? Or was it something that happened..?
"...I wonder..." those words quietly escaped his lips.

[Simona Weil]

"Sasha, all sins can be forgiven. We all make mistakes, in action and in thought. We are all prisoners to wrong doing. We can only try to learn and grow and develop into better human beings. I forgive you for what happened, maybe Charlotte never will, but that is her decision."

I get back to work.

"The only thing I don't understand is...why? What possessed you to do that?"

[Hoshi]

"What do you wonder about Cephrien? I think a lot of things will just never know. Like, why are we here or why is there so much suffering in the world. It makes me sad when I think about the world too much."

"But you know what! There is always hope. I think the strongest force in the world is love and friendship and that is the thing that will make this world better. I feel happier just sitting here and talking to you.That shows the power of the bonds between people."

[Hedeon]

Hedeon looks back up, and stares blankly at Pakkanen for close to a minute, then speaks.

"Here are my conditions. You will be mine. You will never speak to Sasha ever again after he is alive. You will be under my constant supervision. If you break any of these conditions, you will have no home to go back to." Hedeon says coldly, referring to the fairy land. "Do you understand?"

["Zero" Americanski]

"Well I'm glad we're ready. I think we all need the vacation." I state.
