Can't We Just Talk ? : Requiem
" I'm so sorry .........so.....so...sorry .I couldn't protect you . I had the chance ...when Mom was preoccupied with Cari . I could've assessed your wounds , instead of joining the fight . " Persephone sobbed , her hands stained with blood , grasping onto the cold body of Cordelia Starlight : The Compassionate Leader . Persephone Starlight : The Diplomatic Leader , held on for unfathomably long periods of time . The room was a bloody mess , being cleaned by Proxima Centauri , the fiancè of Carinae Starlight : The Militant Leader . All of this carnage was caused by someone they thought they could trust . Someone they loved . Their own mother , Aphrodite Starlight : The Supreme Leader .
.........
*Miwai : my love , ( a term of adoration or affection in the Capasian culture ) .
Persephone hugs her dead sister's body as she carries it , walking through an airlock with a bloody , stoic expression . The bond of the two had been blood from the start , but now , it stuck her to Cordelia like glue . She never wanted to let go . Not ever . She didn't want to say goodbye . It was too soon ! But , she needed to let go of her sometime , so she wanted to let go of her with honour .
Trudging through with her body , Persephone remembered how badly Cordelia wanted to go to Earth , especially as a small child . Dreaming of the humans there , the lifestyles . To her , Earth was heaven . To her , it was her home .
" You want to go right ? " Persephone asked the corpse . She passed her thumb under her dead sister's eye as if wiping away a tear . She began to cry again , internally , with tears falling . " I will send you there , where you can stay there and play forever . I promise you , Miwai . "
Persephone walked towards Cordelia's Scouting Ship , stopping a mere foot from the teardrop shaped construct . Resting the body inside , she saw Cordelia get up and hug her , thanking her .
" Alwis dse mi camior . " Persephone responded . " Rest now , little one . "
.......
Within a few hours , the ship was ejected into space on a trajectory to the Solar System , where it will land on Earth in five days . Persephone , donning a thin , protective suit , sat on the hull of the airlock , watching her little sister drift away in the starry darkness of space . The strangest thing is that , although Cordelia was moving away , it almost seemed as if she was still there , hugging her older sister .
" I love you .... "
