Prologue: A Hero And A Traitor
"I don't really remember what brought me so far away from home, and back again…"
Jowy Atreides was in a state of depression. He was terribly miserable in his new position as a commander, and yet, somehow, he just could not bring himself to shy away from his responsibility. Why?
"… All this… All at once… It's all just too much for me to bear right now…" he sighed into the darkness that did engulf his slender frame. "I just… I wonder how would things be if we were but now together?"
Jowy felt the sharp sword of melancholy stab him cruelly in his heart at that musing. How would things be if they were now together? For the life of him, that was one question he couldn't really find the answer to.
In the eyes of his people, he was a hero. But in the eyes of his old comrade, he was… he was a traitor.
Yes, he was a traitor. Even his best friend had said so when they met again, for one moment.
It was one moment that Jowy Atreides thought he would treasure and pull him through this ugly war, but the pain and resentment he had seen in his bosom friend's eyes changed the fact; proved it wrong. So what, if you were a commander? So what, if your only source of happiness back in your childhood days viewed you as an enemy and a false friend? So what?
"I… I'm better off dead than a traitor…"
Those words… they felt bitter on his tongue. Too weary to fight back the sobs that threatened to humiliate him, Jowy Atreides gave way to tears.
He was all alone.
To Be Continued… ^_^
