Zorbak’s First Memory
“And finally Zorbak, this is Maria 5 former pilot of Guardian Spirit.” Warlic said.
“Hello, Maria.” Zorbak said introducing himself.
“Hi.” she responded with a smile. “If you don’t mind me asking...what are you? Your so tiny and cute.” she exclaimed.
“...I’m a moglin.” Zorbak said slightly embarrassed. He was about one fourth the height of everyone here, and was worried people wouldn’t take him seriously. Apparently he was right.
“I’ve never seen a moglin before. What planet are you from?”
“You would know it as Planet 51, but we call it H.”
“H?” she asked.
“That is what it sounds like in our language. It isn’t spelled like that of course, a one letter name for a planet is quite silly.”
Maria chuckled. “I suppose so. So, shall we go and see Guardian Spirit?”
“Yes.” Zorbak said. He was more at ease, now. Perhaps it was just the initial shock of seeing him that made her laugh. Perhaps we really was being taken seriously.
The two entered Guardian Spirit. It was much roomier than Zorbak had expected. They stood in a spacious spherical chamber with a single seat in the middle facing a monitor.
“Guardian Spirit is quite bulky, so there is plenty of space inside here.” she said.
They talked about the Gundam for a while, but then began to digress form the topic. They talked about Maria a bit before the conversation turned back upon Zorbak.
“Planet 51 has only a single moon, however it is quite large. Larger than each of Loreon’s combined.”
“That seems like it would be quite a sight.” she said surprised.
“It can be. We look forward to the setting of the moon instead of the sun. We aren’t exactly nocturnal...we wake and sleep when we please.”
“That sounds like such a stress free life. I’d love to go on a vacation there.”
“If only the leaders of H wished for visitors. They fear your kind, all kinds of species. So until a time when that changes, no one will be able to visit H except for moglins. Though they don’t care about Essence, our moon.”
“Do people visit it? That seems like it wouldn’t be fun at all.”
“Essence is a very lush place with unique gravity. You would definitely enjoy it more than being on H.”
“Perhaps I should visit then, sometime.” she said smiling.
Zorbak’s Second Memory
“Shadow of the Dragons?” Zorbak asked. “What is it?”
“I’m going to read it, and then you will see what I do.” Mika said cryptically.
This is the tale of the fall
of Dragonkind,
of Shadowkind,
of Mankind.
We sought out the power
of our Predecessors.
We found, Doom.
The Doom of the Shadowkind,
empowered them.
We were locked away,
within the Essence.
We built society,
and observed the outer world.
The Shadowkind
sent terrible beings
into the world.
We watched them destroy.
We knew we needed to save.
So we called upon our power,
the power of Light.
To build the Gundams to guard us,
To guard Dragonkind.
But where there is Light,
there is Shadow.
They would find us,
if we used its power.
If we unlocked the mysteries of the world,
The Astral Power would cast a great beacon.
So, it was up to them...
To Mankind.
To darken our light,
To strengthen themselves,
and to awaken the Light
when the Shadow grew weak.
This will bring forth the Shadow of the Dragons,
a force that will destroy all,
or save all.
Our last chance,
to save the world.
To apologize for what we have done.
We pray to Mankind,
we pray they will save us all.
The Shadow of the Dragons,
shall be the End of the Dragons.
