It was years ago that they first met. A young man with auburn hair with the name of Franklin McCoy. An aspiring student of anthropology. But, to be a student of anthropology it is always wise to also study history. While anthropology may be a study of the people and culture history regarded events and places in time. It was needed to be able to match the two together. He was only near twenty at the time that he came to a wise professor to learn all about the history of Filgaia.

There was a young redhead with elegant and innocent beauty that went by the name of Saru Akabi. She too had come to learn about the history of her fair planet. Right alongside of McCoy. A man who was instantly taken by her beauty. She became his crush, and will be until the present day.

While Frank was studying alongside Saru the history of Filgaia there was another young woman who studied among the same professor. The professor was an old man not long for this world, but while he was here he had done his research and studied as much as he could of history and of plants, which were slowly leaving the planet at the time. This woman with her near bluish hair color with the name of Sandra Deana.

However, there was another man who came along older than those three. Frank was quick to not like the man. He did not like that this man was brilliant and already on his way to becoming a top specialist in the field of anthropology at the time, but it was also not just that. Elliot Enduro was also interested in more things. It was those other things that led to his acceptance in the Council of Seven which was changing roster at the time. The newest incarnation. Still, that was later, and not at the time of his arrival at the professor's home.

Enduro had a mission at the time to discover what the Twilight Elements were. He had read of them in his studies of past civilization and when he found the story about Hawthorne. It would be a topic he would later move away from and eventually join the Council of Seven and work on his project there and there would be Adam Kadmon who became Jet Enduro.

In his search he required someone who knew a lot about the history of the planet, and of course he went to the best, and eventually he enlisted Saru to aid him. That was the beginning of the man known as Franklin McCoy's own research into Hawthorne. His search for the gauntlet. And…the woman known as Sandra stuck to him and aided him. She was great at finding resources and texts that would profit McCoy's research. Sandra was a shy woman. She was also only ever considered, at best in McCoy's mind, a friend and colleague. Whether she desired something more is unknown to anyone aside from her.

In his need to impress and woe his love, Saru, Frank decided to be more adventurous than Enduro was. It was pointless for the need for two men to research the same topic separately. So Frank decided to move on to looking into the gauntlet that Hawthorne used to create the Twilight Elements.

His life ambition to impress his love.

Despite the years. Despite the fact Saru and Elliot came together and sired young. Beside the changing of the world through the Council of Seven's creations (from which Sandra was smart enough to protect them from the memory loss involved with that event). Frank was still as intent on his work to this very day. And that is how he lived his life. Always out to be better than a man who is dead. Always after a woman who has perished as well. Will it even be possible for him to ever reach his true goal if this is the case?

Who would know the answer? Only a woman who was shy, and always by his side could know. And she does. She just has yet to say what will happen.

Uh…I was thinking I would write a flashback…but there really wasn't one really. Just an explanation of the past. I just couldn't see dialogue and scenes entering this chapter. Just saying what happened worked better in my mind. But I'm not sure. Whatever works though…
