The year is 1167. We lived in Egypt. My mother created nets for the fisherman, sold them or traded them most times for food. My father was a carpenter, a good one. I was 12 at the time.
I spent my days exploring the desert around us. I found a nice oasis a few miles outside of our home, a few trees and a small pond. I do not think many had seen it before, it was secluded and untouched. I called it my home away from home. As I grew up, I began to love it more and more. I would spend more and more time.
My father who I thought would be upset with this was forgiving, he I think understood my fascination with the place, secretly I think he was a bit envious I had such a place to myself. I started to make plans that I would build my home in this little corner of mine. Make it mine and only mine. I built a fence around it, made my mark so others would know it belonged to me. My father started to help me on times when he could. My mother though ignored my dreams, she had dreams of her own for me. Like them or not.
Then one day war came to our home. We were dragged into it and my father I were enlisted and forced to fight. It was the battle of Battle of El-Babein. It was a short war, but it cost us everything, it cost me my life. Somethings are worth the ultimate sacrifice others are not.
And now all this time later, I think of SFT, I think of it like my own personal oasis, my little slice of heaven that only I and a few select others know about. I am willing to fight for it, put my own personal goals aside for the greater good. But I wonder if Reaper could be as giving? Can he put aside his goals and aspirations to help lift SFT and keep it from being engulfed in the wars that are the real world? Can he give to SFT and make it better or just drag it down like so many others?
I guess time will tell will it not?
That is all I have to say to you Reaper.
Goodluck on Titans, goodluck to us both.
