The moment arrived sooner than he expected. The jet who flew them to the Great Square landed behind the floating structure that was positioned in the middle of the square so Gavin could talk to the audience. He was shocked when the jet was passing through the outside of the square, seeing millions of little dots gathered in every free space, where big screens were displayed so they could see the inside of the square. The night was free of clouds so they wouldn't face snowfall anytime soon. It was like the entire world prepared everything so that night could be unique and special for everyone. It was an historical event. It would take long before they faced another presidential substitution so basically, the entire population of Qorjal was anxious, for the good and the bad reasons. Some were excited because that was Chemeris' son taking the high office, and some were mad because of the same motive.
The loud and hysterical voices could be heard from the skies. When his presence was announced, it turned into an explosion of cheering. The spotlights were now turned to the airplanes in the sky, just like the cameras that were broadcasting the event for the television. More than fifty channels were instantly live for the entire country recording the rising ceremony of Gavin Brandon Malone. The plane was going down, reaching the floating podium that was 20 meters above the ground, where bright lights and colorful flowers decorated the floor a and the invisible shield that would protect the people on the podium from falling. When it was time to get out of the plane, the vehicle eased and parked right behind the podium. Lola left first, followed by Angelina, then Isaac and finally the man of the evening. Gavin's entire team was already there divided on the sides, while the four of them were placed in the middle.
When Gavin was finally out and free to be seen, the screams went wild and all the lights were turned to his little figure. He opened a smile, feeling a light and cold wind hit his face, then the looked down and saw the square submerged with people. The high pink trees were the only thing visible besides the human beings taking place over there. While Gavin absorbed the view below his eyes, Isaac kept staring at him with amazement, putting out a smile. Angelina whispered on Gavin's ear saying he should start talking soon.
He looked to the sides finding comfort in the people that surrounded him, then he got closer to the ballphone standing in the height of his mouth. The cameras and lights were all on him. Now it was the time for Gavin to shine.
"Good evening for everyone who left their houses and decided to stay here with us during this magnificent moment. Good evening also for those who are watching us from your homes and for you on the other side of the square." He took a pause because the crowd started cheering and clapping again. After some seconds, he returned with his speech. "I know the happenings of the last few days shook everyone. I am still recovering from the unexpected of that afternoon. It was not easy for no one. I feel for those who lost their lives during the catastrophe in the State Union, but your previous President chose to do things that way."
"That is the main difference between me and my uncle Kyedoth. I would never harm anyone over my personal interest, and this country has lived like that for millennials. However, today we gather at a pivotal moment in the nation's history. Being in this position is like looking back on our journey, seeing the progress we have made, the challenges that we have overcome, and the moments that have defined us as social beings. Now we face the threshold of a new era, and we must embrace the spirit of evolution and change.
Change is not easy. It requires courage, vision, and a willingness want to break free from the shackles of the past. But it is through change that we grow and innovate. It is a way to put up big opportunities to people with incredible and meaningful ideas and to find ways so all of you can exercise your first right as you were born, which is to live. A lot of people are deprived of simply living, and that is not happening anymore.
