Cassini's POV

It had been like a few months since the Deep space manoeuvre and our second Venus flyby.  Magellan did assist us with science at Venus on our second flyby— His help is much appreciated! 

But yet, the duration between the Venus flyby and the Earth flyby is needed. Enough for me to do some soul-searching stuff. I didn't tell the female earthling about this when she told me to get ready for the Earth flyby. When I learnt that my next flyby, I was mentally worried because of the protestor and to my surprise, those Protestors are still...you know.

*Sigh~* Just how long do they want to fight with me? I am so sick of them. Even at Venus, I can hear the echo of the protest. 

...

My Earth flyby is coming and it's going to be my last time to see Earth in person because afterwards, I will just swing forward to Saturn by flyby through Jupiter. And yet, I am worried about the Protestors. They will strike me again. 

Huygens's POV
Worry is written all around Cassini's face. Afraid is written all around her. They said that you can't hear the screams in space, but we can hear the echoes. I can imagine how scary it is for Cassini to face it alone.

"...Cass."
"Um?"
"You...okay?"
"Yea, Just...scared about the upcoming Earth flyby."
"I know. You have my back."
"Thanks, Huy."

At least, a little conversation may be able to help her.

Cassini's POV
Huygens cheer me on with a little conversion. At least, I knew that I have Huygens on my side. This is it...

With Earth in our sight, The ocean sapphire and the forest emerald shine its glows with the reflection of the sunshine once reflected again from my self-reflecting blanket.

No more running away, No more lies.

It's time to face the truth. 

To confront ahead.

It's time. 

The gemstone's glow whited my vision before naturally darkening it.

And then I saw my predecessors, my role models. Always want to reach up to them, always want to hold their hands. Their existence is like a legend, only to be seen from a distance with no touch or senses. But I want to touch them as if the legend is real.

They noticed and reached their hands to me, and I ran with all of my might with my hands trying to reach up to their hands.

A cosmic wind blew and shifted everything. Wind becomes a flare as the dream becomes a nightmare, and echoes return. 

The scars on me return, but I can't just run away now. I am ready to face ahead. Shaking off all the dust from the past and my next chapter that has yet to start.  No more struggling, I will clear my name. I will embrace who I am which is breaking out of shades from the past that is brighter than tomorrow and yesterday.

Mariner Mark...
I will not allow that name of mine to ruin my life again. I'll follow what my heart used to believe. I am no longer strayed or lost. Not yet for the current chapter of mine on the last page, it's not the end just yet — There is one more fight to go through.


I want...

I will...

I am...

This is my rebloom! My determination symphony! 








Named after the astronomer that discovers Saturn's first division, I will set my legend!
