YE 45.8You told me to dream Obasaan...
KAIMON ACCESS 7E ACCEPTED. LOADING PROGRAM...
In a quiet realm where memories reside,
Obasaan’s tears flowed a sorrowful tide.
Each droplet told tales of yesteryears,
A mixture of joy, loss, and heartfelt fears.
Amidst the veil of night, young Eidan lay,
Dreams took his hand and led him astray.
To a realm where hopes bloom free,
Where Obasaan’s eyes joy would see.
He dreamt of days filled with gentle sun,
When tears of sorrow would be overrun.
By smiles that blossom on cheeks so fair,
A time when peace would lift despair.
In slumbers deep, he saw a morn,
When past’s cold grip would be shorn.
Obasaan’s cheeks, now dry, bore a glow,
Her eyes, a tranquil, still water’s flow.
Eidan’s heart yearned for that tender dawn,
When memories’ hold would be withdrawn.
And Obasaan’s tears, now a forgotten lore,
Would stain the faded cheeks no more.
He dreamt of love, a balm so kind,
A soft salve for the weary mind.
And as dawn’s light curled around,
Hope in his heart, was profoundly found.
He held a vision, tender, and bright,
Of days filled with soft, soothing light,
Where Obasaan’s tears of sorrow cease,
Replaced by whispers of love and peace.
"I am here..." Eidan's voice seemed to emanate from all around, echoing from every direction simultaneously.
Arisu narrowed her eyes, "Very funny, now what did you do with the conference room?" she hummed for a moment, then continued, "What do you need anyway? I was planning to call you in a few days to congratulate you on your command. I know it's a little late; I've been busy." She folded her arms just beneath her bosom, a sigh escaped her lips as she awaited his appearance.
With a spark akin to an orchid's bloom, illumination sprang forth, revealing the magic of virtual space where anyone could manifest their desires. Eidan had a clear penchant for the dramatic, every action of his was meticulously orchestrated. The space around Arisu gradually took form, block by block, until a new environment emerged. A grand round table sat in the center, reminiscent of a scene from a fantasy fiction novel, yet bearing a modern sleek finish. The walls curved upward to form a dome, and the dark translucent panes slowly shifted to reveal a city skyline bathed in twilight. At first glance, she thought it was Tokyo, but upon closer inspection, not a single familiar landmark was visible. High-backed, comfortable black leather chairs surrounded the table. Two chairs stood out from the rest; one bore the emblem of the Azure Legion's sword and shield, while the other was adorned with the violet-kissed petals of a magnolia.
"I see you've been busy," Arisu remarked, settling into the chair that was clearly designated for her.
"The station is almost ready. I'm sure people from all over the sector will join the celebration. I kind of hoped you and your crew would make it," she offered, extending an informal invitation. "I looked into that other matter you asked me to," she added after a moment.
Eidan's expression shifted slightly. "I can't. I haven't found what I am looking for and it isn't there... It's out here, somewhere among the stars. But I can always attend virtually, thanks to technology," he replied with a light laugh, although his smile quickly faded. "And what did you find out?"
Arisu shook her head slightly and shrugged, "I didn't get much from Miho; she was suspicious that I even asked. I did some digging on my own, though. There hasn't been a sighting of your father in over a year. I know my mother reported him as AWOL to Star Army Personnel." She looked at him, aware that his actions always had underlying reasons. They both had undergone rigorous training within their Clan's structure. "Why do you want to find him anyway? I heard he's quite the unpleasant character," she probed, her left eyebrow arching slightly.
With a dismissive huff, Eidan responded, "I really don't care if we find him, I just wanted to know where he disappeared after all those promises that he would set things right... And 'unpleasant' doesn't quite cover it, although I can't think of a term harsh enough to describe him at the moment." He let out a lengthy sigh, then added, "I kind of hope Auda finds him first, although I doubt bubble gum comes in a bullcrap flavor," he chuckled, waving his hand dismissively through the air.
Arisu blinked, "Wow, I bet Obasaan hasn't heard you talk like that! Have you been hanging out with that Vahallan guy again?" she inquired, adjusting her posture slightly and fidgeting with the strings that hung from her hood.
"Ah, he's a good guy. I bet she'd appreciate that I'm not viewing the galaxy through rose-colored glasses," he retorted, making a goofy gesture by forming imaginary glasses with his thumb and forefingers over his eyes. "Are you going to Tsukimi with them?" he asked.
The Yugumo Kaicho shook her head from side to side, "No, I have my own plans. Besides, I need to be here with the new station coming online. We're months behind on the 2A space frames for the explorer and the merchant destroyer. I have plenty to keep me busy." She stood up from her chair, turned around, and leaned against the edge of the table, "What about you? I'm sure they'd love to see you."
Eidan replied quickly, "I don't have time. There are things to do, and discoveries awaiting. You know, all that destiny stuff. I'll observe the holiday, probably with Kuroko or the others."
"Oh yes, the girlfriend. Did you share that secret with her yet, the one I told you about?" she inquired as she watched him rise from his seat.
"I'm not in any rush to. Besides, I think she lucked out, at least one of her parents isn't an idiot," he gestured broadly before shifting the conversation, "This is the new space. Didn't care for the old one, too cramped and antiquated. This is our domain now, reflecting the myriad possibilities we've been groomed for since the day, well, since the day I was rescued. You catch my drift." He eyed her intently, "You heading out already?" he queried.
"Yeah, I'll swing by later. Have a meeting to attend. Stay sharp out there and stay alive. Though, I doubt the Mishhu would be interested in eating you; they'd probably look at you and think they've found a cozy spot to lay some eggs," she chuckled.
Eidan rolled his eyes, "I already dealt with one M... eh, never mind. Catch you later."
With that, they both disengaged from the virtual space, their avatars dissipating into the digital ether.
