Eternal Curse: Battleground 6.2 (wip)

“I’m twelve years old. I’m just a kid,” he said. “I’m supposed to be opposed to war, it’s called childlike innocence and naiveté; that doesn’t make me a terrorist.” He leaned forward and held out his hand towards me. “I’ve agreed to help you because my sister said you might be able to get me out of here.”

I took his hand and shook it. I was amazed by his reaction, or lack thereof, concerning the exchange of my energy. Clearly he felt it, but he simply looked into my eyes and then shrugged his shoulders. Then I began to explain our situation concerning his release. “It’s already in the works, though it may take some time. While we will do all we can for you, there’s something we need from you right now.” Mira handed him a package as we spoke quickly and quietly.

I never bothered to ask Mira, but I knew how she really felt about Africa. To her, she was returning home, but under rather stressful circumstances. In her own little way, Mira was happy and excited to go to Africa. She wanted to see the place where she was born and to see the people who lived there. I was sad for her in a way because of the life she chose with me; she would never have the opportunity to truly immerse herself in the culture she’d been taken from as a child. There would always be a more pressing matter keeping her from connecting to that part of her past, but alas Mira continued to prove herself strong, taking pleasure and finding treasures where and when she could along the way.
