The campain posters are flying all around the town. You could hear laughter , coins hitting the ground , water dripping from the roofs. A familiar face is making a speech : a tall , confident woman , that made her way into your memories by smelling incredibly good. She has short , light brown hair that was sitting here perfectly , even tho the wind wasnt cooperating today. You almost wanted to run to her to ask her her brushing secrets. Heavy eyeshadow contrasting her light makeup and reinforcing the depth of her eyes , a tailored pants suit , and a quite long felt trench coat with a golden pins on it. High heels , delicate jewelry , nothing more elegant. Just a scar , covering the lower left side of her face , ruining her perfect facial harmony. A garden of roses burnt by the sides. You didnt even undestood what she said , but you heard it. Her words were powerfull. Everyone was listening to her ; children , adults , elders. She had an insane charisma.
Someone walks through the crowd , pushing everyone in their way . They were wearing a robe and a cape that covered their face. They suddently trip on your feet , their hood falling on their shoulders , knees on the ground.
"Uh , yeah excuse me.Sorry i have to go."
Under the cape , an intimidating young man with red hair and dimple piercings. He didnt even laid his eyes on you for 2 complete seconds , but you felt a shiver running down your spine. That boy was genuinely scary.The crowd exchanged confused looks while the boy quickly ran away. Then , someone yelled : "IS THAT SIR HELIODOR ?". Everyone looked around and started searching for that "sir Heliodor". You understood that he was probably the weird man that ran into you and he ran away that fast because he was wanted.Old ladies start laughing behind you , you try to hear what they are saying .
"HAEHAEHAHE, SIR HELIODOR AT A FORDSHIRE SPEECH AND WHAT ELSE !!!"
" HIHIHIHIHI IS HE SCARED FOR THE ELECTION RESULTS ?
A man turned his back , flabbergasted , and started agressively shouting at the old ladies;
"Do you seriously think Fordshire is a good leader ? Heliodor is way more competant than her.
"HELIODOR ? HEHUHEAHEAHRAHE MAKE ME LAUGH. FORDSHIRE FOUGHT HER WAY TO THE TOP , AND HELIODOR WAS BORN AT THE TOP !!!"
"Are you seriously voting for that old hag ? I can see that you ladies are old enough to remember her shooting at the town hall ! She took the power using violence !"
"HEAHEAHEAHEH , DO YOU PREFER A DYNASTY OR WHAT."
"The Heliodor lineage is well known for how smart they are. They are made to rule a country.
"WELL NOT SIR HELIODOR ! EVEN HIS DAD WAS BETTER ! HIHIHIHIHIH"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YALL OLD DRY WEEDS !" The man says as he walks his way out of the crowd.
You try to focus on the bewitching speech from the powerfull woman.
"BREAK THE CIRCLE. Do yall want to have another of those red haired trickers to run our town ? They dont know what is labour. They dont know the fields. They dont know the markets. They dont know everything happening here because they are too high up in their manor to care for you ! They dont know you ! Fight. Fight for your future. Fight for your rights.Fight for your daughers and your sons. Fight for your elders. Fight for your town. And dont you ever stop fighting for your freedom. Dont you ever listen to people holding you down. Dream high. And do everything you can to reach those dreams because life is too short to do otherwise. Make the world a better place , and make your life meaningfull. Do anything in your power to reach justice. Because maybe , in centuries ahead us , everyone will be free and equal. Some of you may say that i am the worst example. But i learnt from my past mistakes that you dont choose to make the world better with your perspective , you work hand in hand to make it better for everyone. We need to give a warm home to these homeless elders wandering in the market's streets. We need to give these childs a future. SO WORK. FIGHT. AND DREAM! BREAK THE CIRCLE."
