The white door opens after the woman pushes a few buttons.
'JULIA CARLINGIAN: ACCESS ACCEPTED' the voice spoke. She enters and she could see a figure is seen examining sothing in that laboratory of hers.
The man is of regal bearing, yet his clothes are plain but his stature is of a confident man. There are so badges in his clothes.
'Mr. President, in the laboratory again?' As the figure of a woman enter the opening door. The room is white with many gadgets, and notes.
The man is looking at a shining crystal, a very tiny crystal with luminescent purple color. It is clear that he is marveling the levitating crystal inside the glass case.
'Don't tease , mother.'
He said, his eyes still did not leave the crystal, in his hand is holding so docunts, as he flipped it page by page, trying to understand sothing.
'Danielor should I call you Aero?' She said a little smile on her face.
She moved down the stairs and began looking at the lab checking so of the gadgets while still talking to Aero.
'Daniel is fine when we are alone.' Then Aero look back at the shining crystal.
'mory shard huh? Takashi and you sure invent so weird invention.' He said sighing and putting down the paper. It is obvious he doesn't understand the principle of the research.
The woman just ignores his expression.
'Keiko and Takashi are having their wedding next month, Daniel. You attending?'
'Of course. He has helped with many of the research developnt. And he is my Minister of Science, Magic and Technology. I do not want to offend him.PR is important after all.' He said, began showing a kind smile.
'Huh, just like you saying things like that. How is the Thirteen tribe negotiation going? Since you are here after all.' Julia asked.
'I send Kyle. He is the Minister of Foreign affairs after all.' But his eyes did not leave the mory shard.
'But this mory shard is important.' Aero said, his eyes linger on the crystal
'More important than the nuclear program?' Julia asked. Aero sighed.
'I have always felt that using that against the Xenosian Empire is a bit of an overreaction. But Zeus. you know how he is. And not to ntion many people were convinced by his plea at the ti, and the Bill is passed at the Senate. I am a President not a king. My power is limited by the Senate and the Assembly.'
'Even though you created it?' she asks
'Because I created it.' He reply
'Liberty for all' Julia said as she co to one of the computers and check so calculations. There is a mocking tone in her previous chant.
Aero sit down on one of the swiveling chairs and continued.
'There is no true freedom in this world. Even in our world there is no true freedom. Inequality will always exist. Maybe I am. too much of an idealist. I never see myself like that. naive huh?'
'You sound like a defeatist, Daniel.'
'I'm not. I believe that human is capable of more.... but life is going to be very pitiful, for those who live by the belief that "No one is better, all people are equal." Because the world will remind that person how wrong that belief is.'
'Concerns about the people? You have matured.'
'I am, maybe a little selfish'
'A little?'
'A lot' he corrected.
'But I'm not entirely heartless, and living in a world where our life is the stake, if I do not repay those who have sacrificed themselves for , those who trusted , believing to the end, how could I face them one day?'
He said these words with a bitter smile, regret clearly seen on his face. Julia also dropped down her head, like rembering sothing she did not want to rember.
'What will you do with this mory shard, mother?' She looked at Aero and smile.
'As you know we are not blessed by magic, but I found a way.'
'How?'
'This shard acts as magic sourcethe only difference is you have to feed them first.'
'Feed them? With what?' he asks
'Hahaha.' She laughed
'And this is the genius of it all. When we first arrive the notion that magic exist is scoffed by the most, you the second.'
'Of course. No matter how reality defying you did with that Void I didn't really believe magic existed until I see with my own eyes.'
'True. But I accept it, though a little bit later than you. When I have decided to accept magic as part of the reality of this world, this world construct, then endless possibilities open up in my research. We may not be born with it but it doesn't an we can't harvest it. With our technology, there is nothing we could not do.'
'This is a stunning discovery but you still do not answer my question mother.'
'mories. mories and the language of the dragons. Language of the dragon. That wall of text the exploratory mission got has been deciphered. Takashi took two years for him to decipher it.'
'I should give him so more benefit' Aero said smiling.
'Their words are magic itself. So in a way writing it with mory shard, with the language of the dragon it could create a barrier or so kind of magic formation.'
'Oh, this is interesting. You're saying we can use magic from now on.'
'Theoretically.'
'I just hope this doesn't mark another end.' Aero said, clearly there is sothing bothering him.
'End of what?'
'The last ti you made a discovery with Takashi, the world ended as we know it.'
'But humanity survives'.
'One third survived mother. a number that has since dwindled during our war with the inhabitants of this world. I. only hope that my decision as President will lead the few of us leftto a better futureto an enlightened future.'
Julia was about to say sothing but the there is so ruckus outside the laboratory
VIKTOR RUSHKA IDENTITY ACCEPTED
Then suddenly the automated door opens.
'Mr President! An ergency missive has arrived from the eastern Border.' As he ran to the President and quickly handed the missive.
