He was waiting at the train station..oh,sunshine..How can you stay in that cold...?..That frezzing cold..That was cytting your breath like a blade..Oh,you poor Arstotzkanian
,,-...General,we are close?"
..I never seen you this angry and toughtfull ..
,,-..Not yet,Vladimir."
...I hope this man will take care of you like it didnuntill now..I hope everything will you good with you..I hope you will rise to be the red eagle you are..
..A few hours had. Passed since they started walking.
I..I know everything was looking fine..but it wasn t.
As congidemt as the general looked,he wasn t at all.He had no ideea what to do,he was scared inside but he had to keep tgis brave face..For him.His only soldier left.
He loved to train him..He loved to be a general,he loved his job..So great and majestic and pure..
..But in moments like this..he hated it.
He hated he had to lie and tell his only ,, child" left everything was fine when it wasn t..Because he has to be the lider he had to be.
And vladimir..?
The beam.of light inside and around him was dark now..he was serios..Sad..he was thinking and thinking..He couldn t belive himself..he saw himself as a naive man..As a naive boy..As a plaything for ..Him.
He hated how he was played around,he hated his unknowllege,he hated knowing ..even this could be a form of manipulation made by his..Love.
He hated aknowlliging that..When he was around him,everything he tought he knew was good was bad,everything right was wrong,everything was a game,and the only think he knew was that Pink knew everything and he knew nothing.
..He never felt small or weak or ..Dumb around him..he felt protected around him.
..But..he ..Started thinking that everything was just a big game of manipulation and playing.
,,-..Vladimir? We re here"
..The boy nodded and sat down along the general..It wasn t the same.
..Chalenks Viktor was bigget and stronger than Pink..Yet he didn t feel protected.
He just..Felt..alone.
He felt like he had to protect himself and he was to weak and drained to do that..
..The blonde soldier stand up and bought himself a train ticket from the boot..When he felt a strong slahing wind behind him..A strong strong wind almost blowing him off.
The train arrived.
He always loved to take the train..He wouldn t admit it but..more than a few times he did go without a ticket.
He had the money for it,he just..Wanted to keep it for himself to buy a belegte brot (an open sandwitch).
It was the biggest treat for him,and it wasn t expensive..He could eat 3 of those a day from the ticket money!
He sat down in the train and looked outside the window
,,-..it s beautiful,right?"said the general,,..the arstotzkan land really is the most wonderful thing the human eye could see"
Vladimir nodded
,,-..yea..It is"
,,..Tho..It has a corruoted system..I..Try to play it,y know..? And just..go by,with the money i can get and keep my head down under the gouverments watchfull eye"
,,-..."
Vladimir got quiet..He let the general talk,it was obvious he needed it
,,-..And this time..Is the most important time to.keep our head down..The..old order..Tge order of ezic..The comunist that wanted to make the ,,new arstotzka"..They are back.."
,,-T-..They are?!"
The general nodded .
..Vladimir remembered when he was just 14 years old and the boarder at West grestin was blown up by The order of Ezic..They tried taking ocer Arstotzka.
And they did..For a few months...Most of the people didn t like getting verified..even if that meaned equal amount of money.
They did get little to no money..But they made the rest up from things like selling bombs,doing different offbrand jobs and all sorts of things..
Vladimir s mom,for example,get the rest of the needed money from cooking at different weddings and gatherings..She was the best baker in the area so she could alot of money.
Vladimir helped by teaching younger kids better Arstotzkanian or Obristanian..He also got money for being a translator.
Of course,none of the jobs from thr above were paid or register by the gouverment..But they managed.
,,-..And..They are stronger.I-..If they take take over..They are gonna verify every Little thing we do..Same sex relationship or marriage aren t..gonna be a thing anymore*..he sighted and continued ,,.Any type of Art or different clothes that what is gonna be given to us isn t gonna be accepted..And.."
,,..and?"
,,..Y know..I actually..would love using colours on my face..eyes..cheeke,lips..I just..Y know..People are gonna stare and laught..I..was so jealouse seing..The inventor having so mych courgae to wear that..and..now when i..Finally..Finally ..want to try it..Well,if the order takes. Over..All of that is gonna be taken away.."
,,-..y..you liked the colours on his face?"
,,..loved them..would love using them...Just..Don t have the courage..A man shouldn t..Be seen wearing that..!.."
