EX Echoes:Story of His People What did the flying child mean when he echoed ancient scrolls? To order the release of "his people" from the king of cyborg moles. Did the pup mean just the species to which he and his kin belong? To limit what he meant to only that case would be wrong. Did he mean only those who shared certain cultural traits? He would not be one to be keeping such limiting gates. Did the bat mean only those who traced back to a certain land? That group alone was not what the scope of his demand. At the very least he meant all the people of this Earth. For he believes that everyone has inherent worth. Not that he would exclude those from worlds beyond ours But it is unknown if life even exists on distant stars. If aliens exist Mecha had captured none. They fought, but in the end, twas wings, not steel, that won. Dialog of Unexpected Distress Tell me, little bat, why do they call you Rose? With that flower I have a special bond, I suppose. I, too, share a bond with the species in my name. I guess, then, in that regard we are the same If I have yet to tell you, my name is Goldendove The global symbol of peace and love? Yes, I feel a link to that people in my soul It suits you well, for you are a kindhearted mole. I have a duty to tend for all the people in my care. Why would someone sweet as you work this evil lair? If my king were as evil as you say, would he need me? I'm sorry, but at least here I am safe, although not free. You don't know the pain I bear from before he came to rule. Don't cry, my dear, I didn't say that to be cruel. You speak with a mother's love, it brings back the grief. I'm so sorry, can I do anything to give you relief? I forgive you, for you knew not of my past. A Rose forgets of her thorns, it happened so fast. There is a hope I cling to, as your wings around my arm. I wanted to make sure you knew I meant you no harm. Is it foolish to think her soul lives on inside a bird? Now why would your faith in that be something absurd? I know that is not something in which you believe. I am not one to judge how other people grieve. Would it be alright to tell this to your son? All species survive hardship, we are not the one.
