07/07/12011 – Letter Exchange: Eureka's Birthday Gift

–

Eureka,

It's been more than five years since the last time we saw Nirvash. I know our last attempt in bringing her back was a failure. And with the Wipeout, I was afraid we might never see her again.

But Sonia, Gramps, and I have been working on something special for the last two years, and this is what came out of it.

This Nirvash doesn't have the body of an archetype inside, but we've worked hard to make sure our baby captured the same spirit of our old friend, from the inside out.

She may not feel the same as our old girl, but I hope we came very close. But I know it's more than enough to help bring back those wonderful memories we had together in Gekkostate.

I know I'm far from perfect, but I want you to know I would do anything for you and our family. You and the kids are the only reason why I keep moving forward in life. Without you, I'd probably still be that silly little brat whose room you demolished more than six years ago.

And no matter what happens in the future, I can rest easy knowing we can do it together. Because you are, and always will be, the flame in the heart of my world.

Happy birthday, babe.

Love,

Renton

Dear Mama,

We know you miss Nirvash so much, so we (and Papa) thought it would be a good idea to bring her back again.

We want you to be happy on your birthday because we know how much you love us. I know we're not perfect, but I know you do your very best and we're happy we have the best mama in the world.

We really hope you like her.

Love,

Maurice, Maeter, Linck, Amber, and Ao

Young lady,

I know it's been so long since the last time the two of you saw Nirvash, and I know how much you two have missed the damn thing. That's why you'll be happy to know that your husband (and I) have been working hard with the guys at Tresor to bring the girl back.

Yes, the insides are a bit different, but Renton made sure she feels like the same kindred soul you two grew up and loved six years ago.

I know the two of you have experienced a lot of ups and downs with Nirvash, but that's to be expected with family. Family will always be in your heart no matter where you are in the universe. And it is the most beautiful thing you two have ever brought to your kids, myself, and the nice folks here at Ciudades del Cielo.

Enough rambling from an old man. Your family reunion with Nirvash is long overdue. Now go and fly the damn thing and show your kids what you two are made of.

They say that paths we take in life will always have strife and difficulties lying ahead of us and will only get more arduous the further we go. But through our journeys, we find ourselves becoming wiser and stronger, only to find ourselves rewarded with something valuable in the end.

I imagine that you and Nirvash have long walked a difficult path together. I can sympathize with the pain you have felt and the scars you have carried throughout your journey. But through your struggles, something incredible has blossomed from within you: a kind and compassionate mother, a loving wife, and the savior of a people that have long been oppressed by a mad tyrant bent on killing our Earth.

I never blamed you for what you did to our city so many years ago, but I always admired your courage to stand up for what was right and to learn from your failures. I know in my heart that Nirvash played a part in all of it, for the scars she bore were the same as yours. And scars, they say, are the true burden of all wise men.

You've grown so much from that young girl I met at Controrado many years back. Your journey of saving the world is at an end, and through it came a loving family and a beautiful life. But much like the others here, I think your reunion with Nirvash is long overdue.

Now go spread your wings and fly.

Blessings,

Tiptory

PS: In case you asked, yes, I took part in this, although not as extensively as your husband or Axel. The priests and I have blessed Nirvash to protect you and your family through the most difficult of times. And never mind those idiots who call you White Devil; they don't know what you have done to rebuild our home. To me, you will always be our blue angel.

You're a lucky woman to have people like Renton, Sonia, and Tiptory do something special like this on your birthday. And you'll be happy to know that, yes, I was a part of it too.

I know how it feels to miss someone like Nirvash. Hell, theEND was destroyed when it tried to protect us from that punk Dewey many years ago. And even if we both got something special out of the war in the end (you with Renton and the kids, and me with Dominic), we both can't help there's that empty feeling inside like a friend just passed away.

But hey, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Nirvash is back and she flies like a dream. Renton made sure it felt like the real thing, and as the official test pilot of the RA272 Nirvash (that's the official name… no I'm not boring enough like Sonia to name it like that), I gotta admit it made me a bit jealous thinking you two piloted something amazing many years ago.

Alright, enough screwing around. Go out there and get your sappy family reunion over with. Be happy it's got cup holders and seat warmers now.

I'm sorry we couldn't make it to Ciudades for the party. Besides, it's been busy here in the shop and I'm having my hands piling up with Diana already. I know we've been through a lot together ever since we first met, but I'm glad you and Renton have worked hard to earned the life you have right now. Besides, you two deserve it after saving the world, don't you?

We're doing just fine here in Sojourner. Talho and I are working the shop down by the hours and Diana's getting bigger every day. Hell, she's starting to look like her mom. Hope she doesn't get crazy when she hits puberty, otherwise I'd have one more difficult lady to deal with. But hey, it beats dodging missiles and hellfire like back in our Gekkostate days.

Anyways, hope things continue to stay good on your end. We all miss you here, and we wish you a very happy birthday.

Good waves,
