Notes: So this is the second perspective short. Thanks so so much to my reviewers for writing such lovely reviews—Phoenixsun, Ellie, DeathIsVirtue, Keiya, Nao-san, and Cygnus. I'm glad you guys are all excited about this odd project that popped out of my equally odd brain. I will definitely finish this one quickly...it's just too much fun to write.
I also want to thank those of you who reviewed the last section of Unspoken for me…Phoenixsun, Ellie, Cygnus de hielo, and Icys. Dunno if you're reading this, but thanks anyway.
Unfortunately, though some of you expressed interest in Saga and Milo writing, the writers are chosen randomly, so I can't promise when Saga or Milo might come up. This next writer is going to be Aiolia, and the subject is Aldebaran. Hehe, I already have the next one done as well, but I won't tell you who the writer is. Let's just say it was quite...interesting...
Steadfast
I suppose that's the only word I can think of to describe him. Steadfast. Aldebaran seems like a sweet innocent big guy, but sometimes I think he is wiser than I ever could be. Aldebaran always knew where his loyalties were. I spent years of my life unsure of what to believe in, and doing everything in my power to separate myself from my brother. Aldebaran was always loyal to what he knew was right, and steadfastly loyal at that.
Aldebaran is indeed a sweet innocent big guy, but a wise one. I still remember that afternoon when Mu and Aldebaran went to town with me. A little girl gave him a purple flower because he had agreed to go to the park with her. "For you," she said, handing him the little violet thing. Aldebaran was very unsure of how to react. However, I also recall the goofy grin that was stuck to his face all the way back to Sanctuary.
I knew that he died, and when we passed by his temple, we saw the flower growing from his empty Cloth, a symbol both of rebirth, and of Aldebaran's stubbornness in always rebounding. Mu says he died standing. What can I say, but steadfast?
