Bound By Memories - Liara

My father once told me to follow my dreams. Never be afraid to push for my goals and hold fondly to the memories that bring me to them whether blissful or harsh. He was a very supportive and wise man. Behind me every step of the way... I killed that man. For reasons I can't even remember. No, I won't remember but no matter how hard I try that moment is one I cannot forget. Little did he know I step into and feel the memories and dreams of others. It is truly an unbelievable experience and with it I have found another. No replacement for my father but a very interesting man. I stumbled upon his injured body and walked through his dreams and memories. What better way to get to know someone.  He was against it and didn't understand it. He will, one day and he'll turn to me and say "I love you". I'll just leave it to my dreams until I win him over. Until then i will let no one have me or get in my way. That is something some people will never understand. I like to think everything feels better when it's not real. That is why people dream - Liara

[Martial base - Liara's quarters]

I awoke one beautiful morning with a glorious feeling and a single idea in mind. Today would be the day that I saw my dream become reality. I took so strongly to this feeling because with all that was going on, even a glimpse at something so lively and fruitful was more than enough to pick my mood up. I hop out of bed a proud woman. Eager to start this beautiful day. Wondering what my sissy was doing. She's really my best friend but she's much more than a woman to me. Plus we are all family here. Thanks to my lovely little sister Mimi. She took an unfortunate road however. I miss her so much but I can't let that get me down. So I trot out of my room and head straight next door to Leila's room. I don't have to knock she's always prepared for me.

Liara: Good morning love. I hope you're not still in bed. Though I do like to walk your dreams.

She comes out from around the corner tieing her hair up in a ponytail.

Leila: I have got a busy day planned. I couldn't sleep in.

Liara: Really? What are you leaving me for?

Leila: Well you know the angel that praises me? We found his friend and I really want to help him get her back.

Liara: Oooo is this a love story?

Leila: I'm not sure. I can tell he cares deeply though. He's been nothing but loyal to me even though I am no god. I will do the same for him.

Liara: No God maybe but a Goddess no one can deny. I love the way you work. I ever tell you that?

Leila: All the time. See you tonight?

Liara: Any time you like. I'm gonna go check on the boys. I'm sure they are all training.

Leila: Always. Their passion for the fight is inspiring.

Liara: Yeah they motivate each other too. We won't lose anyone else.

Leila: We'll bring our family together again and hold it together ourselves.

Liara: Yeah let's promise.

Leila: I promise and I'll hold to it just like Gyro.

Big brother Gyro is very strict on any promises. He ensures any promise made is followed through. Mimi liked to consider him as a father as well. I don't mind calling him daddy but I don't think he would take too kindly to it. His hidden pleasure died just before the founding of the original eagles. He still see's her sometimes. I see it in his memories. It's quite haunting actually but he handles it like a rock. I can never really tell if it is bothering him or not. Those memories... those dreams... They feel so real at times. Like I'm  actually there.

Liara: Me too. Love you babes. Enjoy your promising adventure. You'll get her. You can win anyone's heart.

Leila: [Faint chuckle] You don't get yourself into trouble ok?
