RowlingTribute91: Thank you so much! I think that's why I love writing about all these minor characters because I can do whatever I want with them, but I'm glad I'm making it (some-what) believable(: And I will probably be saving Snow and Coin for the last two spots, only because they're just so...you know...bad. Haha. Thanks for the suggestion, though(:
Mrs. Mellark15: Thank you! I'm glad I have your continued support(:
SAIgirl24: I'm glad you're enjoying these! Nothing makes me more happy than knowing people are looking forward to more of them! Hope I won't disappoint(:
A year ago I would have punched the fool who would have even suggested that I was not utterly devoted to you. Yet, time changes, and, even though you may not know it, your power is burying you alive. After spending so much time leading people who know nothing else, you are un-prepared and unskilled to lead the outsiders, who are not blind enough to see past your façade.
I had spent my whole childhood dreaming of becoming a soldier, to fight the Capitol and take back what is ours. But, you're doing it wrong. Behind closed doors you have told me, your most trusted advisor, that you plan to rule Panem, but how do you plan to lead a nation when you can't even rule your own people? When you're so blinded by power that you can't see that you're losing?
I am not a leader, nor have I ever strived to become one, but I can recognize one. The Everdeen girl, there's a reason she was the one who sparked this, and it wasn't just because she attempted to swallow berries. She has the inexplicable ability to capture your attention with just a single word. Everything about her is raw and powerful, a quality that I haven't seen in a very long time. You told me that she's expendable, that you would actually prefer if she didn't return, but you don't understand the hold she has on people, that to simply get rid of her would ruin everything.
That is why I am content to have her go on, even without me. Only because I know that the power she had over me is just as strong over the others. They would all rather sacrifice themselves than have her die. That's what a great leader should make others feel the need to do.
And you don't.
...what did I just write?... Gosh, it's not even like a goodbye, just a...? What would you call it? Oh, well. Sorry, folks no blood and gore for this one! Just Boggs getting his final word to President Coin. Not very exciting, at all.
Thanks for reading(:
