Road of Love
Prologue
I had once heard from an English song that said love was a battlefield. It was true in many ways. One had to sometimes fight for the attention of such love. Sometimes one had to fight to keep that relation going, and then there were the regular quarrels between such pairs. I had experienced all these and more, except instead of having to struggle for attention, I struggled with something greater. I struggled to accept my own feelings, and the results of admitting those feelings to myself, and person of my feelings.
One may think that these struggles were not worth it, and that a love without struggle was the best way to go. Yet that was nothing more than ideal, a vision of the perfect love, but nothing was ever truly perfect. It was what we made of the situation that made it perfect. Many of my friends on Earth often questioned why I chose the person whom I had chosen. I would always reply with a smile and say, "Because I'm in love."
The path I had taken was hard. It was really difficult, especially during my high school life, before I had started to work full time with the Bureau.
Considering how I had grown up, I wasn't familiar with a lot of Earth's customs, which including relationship conventionalities. All I knew was that I had fallen in love, and that I had admitted what I had felt to that person. I had not expected the aftermath of starting such a relationship. People looked at us differently. Some of us considered us freaks, while others considered us heroes. But thankfully, there were those who stayed by us, any preconceptions thrown out in preference to our friendship. We were grateful that they stood by us.
Even nowadays, I'm asked if I'm happy with the person who has held my heart for the last 21 years. Again I always replied with a smile, and simply say "Yes" in response. Some people would look at my sceptically, but those who knew the whole story never had to ask. They would simply smile in approval of my choice, and would continue to support us. They knew it was our choice when we had finally decided to marry. Our families, although a bit shocked, more so my spouse's family, they accepted it without much reservation, save for a few promises I made with my spouse's parents I intended to keep.
You may be asking why I'm telling you this. It's simple really: I just want to. I want to share what happened to me 6 years after the Book of Darkness incident, where it all began. It was in high school where it all began for us, when we had first stepped on that road of love. A bit cheesy somewhat I admit, but that's one of my friends had characterised it.
My name is Takamachi Fate T.H., wife of Takamachi Nanoha, godmother of Takamachi Vivio, and birthmother of two boys: Takuya and Shinji, and one daughter: Alicia. This is my story, and these are my precious memories.
I don't know where I'm going with this story, but depending on what you guys think of this intro, I may go on with the story. Mind you that this is going to go through some various twists and turns prior to hitting StrikerS, and even then it's going to be different.
