Audio log starting. 3.....2......*static*....1
The rough sounding voice of a young male speaks up.
"Alright..Its working..Good...Obsilion..I hope this message reaches you..If you're still out there. I'm out of food and my life support has ran out....You probably still see me as a traitor...That's alright I guess...I just wish you knew the truth..."
The voice sighs softly.
"I'm just glad I got to run one last mission with you....It seems now I'll be going home..Funny..I never imagined I'd die like this...I always thought I'd die fighting by your side as your second in command...I always thought that we would die being the ultimate dynamic duo. Code name "Smoke before Fire".......You know..Despite you being so cold and distant...you were the best friend I ever had...I loved you. You were a brother to me...We all loved you...You were our family..."
"Your uncle turned you into the soldier you were...I heard what he did to you...It was.....I wish you had better. You deserved better...But..I understand where his heart was...I actually met him one time before our last mission. I asked him why he did what he did to you.....He cried...He was devastated because of what he turned you into. He told me that he always believed in you. He believed you would be the best...He said he just wanted you to be the best...he just went about it the wrong way...He felt terrible for what he had done to you, but he was proud of you. He was proud that your love for your sister still burned bright. Hell...Sylvia always spoke highly of you. The girl adored you..."
"...You know, we had a secret code name for you. One that was always used in classified files for whenever you were deployed on missions, especially during your time as a suicide runner..Sacrifice. The code name was "Sacrifice". I've always wondered why that was....Sacrifice....I get it now...Its because of how you were. Your entire being was a living sacrifice...That was the only way to describe you. You lived by the sword and constantly expected to die by its blade. You held the gun with your hooves and pulled the trigger with your heart. When you fought you fought not for yourself, but for your comrades. You fought for all of Requium....Everything you did neglected your own health both mentally and physically....You are the living definition of sacrifice..."
"......Obsilion....Thank you for allowing me to fight at your side...You were the best...The last mission we did together was the one where you thought we would be saving Requium....The truth is, the new recruits were myself and your uncle...The mission was really to save you....Thank you for letting me run one last mission with you old friend.....This is Fury...signing off....."
"...................................................."
"......I just thought about something..I dont want to call myself a hero, but the same rule applies....Soldiers die for a cause on the battlefield. Often times, they die not knowing if their actions really made a difference...We died to save you buddy...But the truth is...I dont even know if you're alive........The hero is supposed to fight for the right cause, fall in love, maybe have a child, and fight in a glorious battle...But the hero always dies in battle...When the hero dies..He has no way of knowing if what he did actually worked. He has no way of knowing if things really worked out for the better in the end....The hero dies with only hope....He may hope for the best.......But he doesn't know what really happens in the end...."
The voice of Fury chuckles weekly, his voice sounding faint now.
"..........Isnt that a bitch?........"
