A couple of hours later after Seigal Clyne announce the 11 people who were going to take the journey to Versalius. Kira was summoned by his father and is now sitting in a chair in Ulen's guest room though he didn't wait for long as he return with an iron shirt and a dagger.
"Here Kira this is for you"
"Is that what I think it is dad?" Kira questioned his father after he grabbed the iron shit from his hands.
"It is son. It's Mithril. Light as any regular shirt but stronger than any steel ever made. Well, well put it on! I want to see how it fits." Kira removed his shirt, revealing the Ring which was now tide to rope string like a necklace. Ulen started to stare at the sight of The Ring and begin to crack a greedy smirk.
"Oh...M- my old Ring! It would be nice to h-h-hold it ag-again" Kira began to worried about his father looking at the Ring and tuck it back to his shirt. That was when his worries came to fruition as Ulen became like a madman and if it wasn't for his Coordinator instincts kicking in he would've been dead.
Ulen lookup to his son after he dropped him down. "I..I'm sorry Kira" he walk back up and pick up the dagger. "Here my o-old weapon The Strike. Created by the elves. It can detect demons when they come near you." Ulen handed his son the weapon and walk out the door.
"Where you going dad?" Kira ask worriedly
"To get some fresh air," he look back at Kira with a sad face of a broken man. "I'm sorry for everything son and now you must carry the burden for my error. I'm so sorry for everything!" Kira tried to go to his father but in the back of his head feared that he would become crazy again. He hold the burden ring on his hands.
Ulen continue to walk endlessly outside the hallway. "Hey your that old man I saw two days ago?" Ulen look behind him and to his shock it was Cagalli. Feeling confuse and frightened he tried to run but realize that he was not a young man anymore. Not without the Ring's Seed power. So without any other option for him. He must now face the consequence. He must confess to the orban princess that he is her true father. Maybe at least it could heal the burden of his soul.
Athrun remove the vine branches that covered a tombstone. He knelled down and read the kanji name inscribe which read Here lies Lenore Ailia Zala aka Peaceful Negotiator (AN:Made up the maiden name since no one knows it!). Athrun began to remember words Seigal gave him before he left for the outside world years ago.
flashback
"彼女は子供を保護することを望んでいました。 彼女は、工場〔植物〕であなたが保護されるだろうと思いました." A 13 year old Athrun Zala in hunter garb look up to Seigal who with Lacus stood beside her father. "Outside your mother had a cool demeanor. But inside her heart knew already that you will be hunted all your life. That you'll never escape your fate. Elven skills can reforge Infinite Justice but only you have the ability and strength to wield the sword of the king of kings " Athrun only nodded and turn away. Lacus however grabbed his arm, "you have that strength Athurn I know it. Even now I could feel it's strength resonating from you!"
"You don't understand Lacus? I do not want that power" Lacus was shock of what she was hearing from Athrun."I never wanted it."
"Your the last of the bloodline Athrun Zala?,there is no other." but Athrun walk away from both Clynes standing their.
End flashback
Athrun remember that memory well and took it off from his mind as he return in looking at his mothers grave and place the flowers in front of it. "I won't be seeing you for a long time mother. Pray for me." While this was going on in a room where Milly and Tolle were sharing together.
"Tolle I'm afraid?!"
"How could you be scared of this Mir. We did approach Seigal and volunteer in front of everybody on the council. We can't just back out now?"
"I know we can't it's just that, it will be exactly likebefore when we have to face those Ringwraiths from before. Except theres more peril in this? we can die on this journey?" Tolle looked at the sadness on his girlfriend knowing where she' going with this and like a man he console her. "We will be alright Milly;and you can trust me on that!" Milly felt relieve when Tolle began to hug her but somehow on the back of her mind she felt something is not going to be alright in this journey. Elsewhere
"WHAT?, how dare you, say that I'm your daughter?" Cagalli jump out from the park bench that she was sitting on . Yelling furiously after what the old man had told her.
"I'm telling the truth you are my daughter. You could believe in the words of this old man or not?; I'm to old to hide secrets anymore" Ulen turn his face back down looking at the grass floor underneath his feet.
"You know what?,Your full of it; and if this place wasn't ORB you would be incarcerated in a prison cell by now for telling such lies. Be glad that your son is not here to "she huff her way. Refusing to hear no more of Ulen so called wild stories. Ulen watch sadly as Cagalli's form disappear from his sight. That night while the chosen fellowship were resting up so that they can be prepared for the journey to Versalius. Murrue carried a tray full of fruit when she started to have a craving for it. She open the door to her quarters. As she grasp to see Mu asleep in the table. She was about to yell when she notice a loose piece of paper with writing on it.
Curious to know she drop the tray down at the floor and sneak towards the table and carefully grab the paper out from Mu's grasp. She read what the note says and gasp.
Morning sets in and the fellowship have gathered themselves near The Plants gates. Preparing for the journey ahead of them. Seigal and Lacus with a couple of elders arrived to see them off. Seigal cough to clear his throat before he started his farewell speech. "The Ring-bearer is now setting out to start on his quest towards Mount Doom. You who travels with him. No oath, nor bond is laid to go further than you will. Farewell hold to your purpose and may the blessings of elves,humans and free folk march with you. " Mu was about to summon Kira when Murrue appear nodding him to come forward. "Forgive me Seigal. I must see what Murrue needs. It will only take." Seigal nodded positively on his request and Mu ran to see Murrue. He was still a little nervous since she was still a little angry. When he got close Mu was about to say something but Murrue silence him when she covered her hand to his mouth.
"Listen Mu. I knew you want to apologize. I read your note last night and I to say that I forgive you." Mu gasp of what he was hearing as Murrue continue to talk. "I was angry but I was also afraid. Afraid that the child will never know her father in person,"Murrue touch her stomach. Mu gasp; here was Murrue forgiving him when about a couple a days ago she was growling and yelling at him like she was having PMS. "I know that you volunteered for this and now I'm asking you to promise me. Promise me to comeback in one piece." Mu look at her eyes and hug her." When we comeback we'll be a-, oh I remember something." Mu scrounge all over his sleeves trying to find what he's looking for. Murrue would be peeved again right now if a clinging sound didn't interrupt. She look at the floor and there appeared before her was A ring. "Is this what your looking for?"
Mu felt embarrassed as he see's the ring Murrue pick up."I wanted to wait for the right moment to tell you. Guess the moment's now blown." It didn't take an idiot to notice and Murrue wasn't either. "Yes I accept!"
Even with the task that laid before the sorcerer?, it didn't bother him. This was a special moment in his life. The sorceress Murrue Ramius has accepted his hand in marriage. "We'll going to be a real family. That I promise because I can make the impossible possible." Mu grab the ring and knelled in front of Murrue. Placing the ring on her left index finger and kiss her lips. Murrue look at the ring now place in her finger and grin happily, "you better come back , husband."
Mu walk back to the fellowship only to see them having a red blush in there faces. "Don't start," Athrun stands in front of Lacus gazing at her eyes. Those were the eyes of sadness. Athrun did a faintly smirk and depart to join up with the fellowship.
"Mu is Versalius left or right?"
"Right Kira." As the fellowship vanish from behind the gated doors. Lacus broke as small tears fell from her face.
Translation: Seigal- She wanted to protect her child. She thought in the Plants that you would be protected.
