Log Entry:A GLIMMER OF THE PAST I say my last goodbye
The night falling upon the Titania. In Amy's arms, I tried to find rest, yet, it was futile. I could not rest tonight. She slept safe and sound when I stood up. I left our quarters, feeling the cold steel of the corridor upon my bare feet. The bridge, deserted, commanded from the CIC, I sat upon Amy's chair. The Edge Nebula in it's green glory right outside the window. I let my thoughts run past my mind. I leaned back, closed my eyes, re-lived every moment of the past.
My mother. My father. Their death in front of my eyes. The moment I retreated and hid deep inside me. The moment I became someone else, the moment I became Cherry. The trauma clinging onto my consciousness. The red of their blood bleaching from the rays of the sun. Pink. Their blood upon my hands, upon my being. It faded out. The sight of a lioness with golden-brown coat, now covered in crimson from the past. As a memory it lingers upon her being, faded and dimmed by time. Gone, faded away.
My brother. He who sought riches at the edge of the world. He carried me in his arms out of the fire. My feet digging into the snow of a new beginning, cooling down the burns of what was, leaving scars to heal with time. But instead of protection, he too was gone. Returned to the edge just to never return. The mighty bastion of humanities resistance, bathing in a shining blue light of destruction. A storm that swept across it, manmade. The Core has crippled it and many lost their lives. So did he. Gone, faded away.
My friends. Those I've met on my journey into the unknown, into space. I have met many from both sides. The good and the bad, yet, I always saw the good in people. I learned much, I stood strong with my opinions that formed from the interactions I had with people around me. Corporations, Pirates, Terrorists, House Officials. All of them are gone, faded away.
Bristol Constructions and Jaina Wheeler. A time I think back to often. A small company that cared for their employees. She cared for them. She cared for me. She held me close and not just as an employee. I enjoyed it, all of it. I got to see a lot while being with them. But like everything it soon came to an end. Gone, faded away.
Many places I have been, many sorrows I have seen. But I don't regret, nor will I forget all who took that road with me.
I came all this way, but now comes the day to bid you farewell. Goodbye my past. You will always be part of me.
Forward into the future as Naomi Cromwell. Our legacy awaits.
