Attack of the Muse...
Part of a future Story
...I need to fly away tonight... somewhere far away... all this pain... it hurts me.
I've asked Kale, why things ended up like this, but he merely smiled at me in that way of his, and shook his head sadly. But I know, I know why all this happened.
Because we were selfish. They say people are capable of living in peace... but this peace, that people long for is an ideal, some foolish hope that stems from a hatred of war. And this is war, right? All this running around and being worried about sides.
I'm sorry... but I can't remember what happened. My memory is blocked and Kale refuses to let me leave the base. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I'm here now. It feels like I've always been here, but I can't help but see all the eyes on me and wonder... who was I... no, who AM I?
Kale once told me, that there's no need for me to leave. We may be a neutral faction standing between the warring sides, but I can see why he wants to keep me close. I've been able to piece some things together about these sides. One is made up of the citizens, the people who agree to the rules of the Guardians. The Guardians... them and their White city... a place I've only seen in pictures so far. The rest of the world is a blank to me, but apparently somewhere on it the other faction lives, set somewhat apart. Those are the younger ones... the ones who see the Guardians words as lies. So they fight, and I can't really take a side, because I'm not sure what they're really fighting for.
Actually, heh, I can't really remember me, so I'm sure their reasons hardly matter at the moment. I see the aftermath though, and the haunted look in the people's eyes. I've learned new fears too... and fear seems like such a foreign thing to me. Spiders... Guns without triggers and People without morals. I feel like an intruder in a game that started before I was born.
All I can do is trust in Kale. He says he's gonna stay here with me even though I'm sure our little faction could use some more scavengers. At least he lets me help, so the awkward stares from the refugees don't keep me awake anymore at night. I take care of the Map and follow the paths of our scavengers and few fighters that walk into the surrounding desert. Yes, we are surrounded by a Desert by at least a few miles. The White City is at the edge of it too, out in the green land that I'm told IS out there.
The fact that I have to be told makes me nervous. Having to stay with people that don't seem to trust me is almost as bad. At least I have Kale... without him, I'd be lost. At least he says we're going away soon, at least then we'll be off this planet and headed... somewhere. He says there's a very good reason we have to leave, but I haven't been told it yet. But he says he'll let me know more about it... soon.
