We're human after all...

How could something like that happen? He was used to losing the fight against the enemy, but it had never been so hard to see how useless he was. Sure, he had lost lots of men in all the wars he had started. But the fight had never taken away one of his closer friends.
This time, everything was different. Something had gone wrong and the young soldier Avon had fallen down into the black hole of death. The only witness was the young red-head. When she brought the bad news, he first had thought that she had been the one who had killed tho warrior. But when he had seen the true sadness on her face he had known that she was as shocked as he was and that she could never throw a friend down into the abyss.

He looked to the wagon. There was that big bag with Avon's clothes and other possessions. They'd have to burn or bury them, but maybe there was still something inside they could use for the fight against the bl... He had returned to the topic that had stolen his sleep for the last twelve years, since his mother had been killed by the Black Net. Since he had seen how Net agents cut her throat, he was sure he would cut the throat of those who had done that.

He never really cared about those souls who had joined his teams, those who supported him in his fight against the Net. He never cried when one, or two, or hundreds of them died. But now, it was different. They were only six people, five after Avon's death. And he knew and loved everyone like a brother. Just like he had loved Irion, the daughter of the woman who had raised him after the death of his mother. Since that day, Irion had been like a sister for him. But she had been killed by the Black Net as well...

Suddenly he knew what to do. He looked to his temmates, took a deep breath and said with a loud, clear and decisive voice: "Guys, I never allowed someone to leave my team once they joined it. But facing the facts, I have to let you go... It's more: you must go".

Roots

I'm very thankful for all I've been given. I've learned a lot thanks to the journeys I have made. But when I see those who have grown up together, I still feel the strong desire to have some more connection to my roots.
I left my hometown and everyone who belonged to it when I was just a child. now I live in a completely different place. Here I'm a stranger. My body still discovers my real identity. No one here knew me when I was a child. I'd love to be more like them, but it's impossible. I can become a part of them, but never one of them. I can adat myself to their lifestyle, but I'll never share their roots.
On one hand, this makes me really sad. I don't belong to them, because I come from a different place, and I can't turn around and go back because I don't either belong to the place where I was born because I've been far away for so many years. It breaks my heart.
On the other hand. I couldn't have been luckier. I know many thing others don't know. I've seen places others will neves see. And while my past is wishing to feel the warm sun on its skin, I can really feel it.

Yes, I'm very thankful...

I still remember those endless journeys through Europe, only to get from my hometown to the wished Holiday spot near the Spanish coast. We had to travel over, under or through another big country - too big for me.
This is how I learned to hate it. I hate almost everything related to it. I hate the language, the people, the food, the culture, their highways, gas-stations, their cars. I hate (Oh my God, I love you so much just because we're in) Paris, I hate Lyon and Lourdes. I hate their president and their f***ing Topmodel-like First Lady.
I hate the whole area. If the coutry didn't exist, Germany and Spain would be neighbournations. But it does exist. So, I guess I'll have to keep on living with it.
But one day, when my BatCat rules the world, we're gonna eliminate them all.
Destroy France!
