G9 is my home…. Sometimes even I can’t believe it. As
I sit here on the edge of Ma-Nago, I can look around at our 9 islands with a sense
of pride. My nation. A nation of peace, of equality and diversity. To think
during my days of gloom, I never thought in a million years I would find such a
place to call home. Nablus, Jenin, father, mother, everyone, I’ve found peace…
and I know that you have to.
Yet my dreams are haunted by pain filled eyes,
silently accusing. What right do they have to accuse me of betrayal after the
way they rejected me? I didn’t betray them… I didn’t. But no matter how many times I tell myself
that, I can’t seem to believe it.
I am here, a part of this beautiful society while they are dying, fighting for their home, for their land. I use to be one
of them, deep down I still am. I could go back. The Almier are to remain
neutral at all times but the 4th law. I could use the 4th
law and go back and fight. I am worth a hundred soldiers, I could fight back,
protect them and… and what? More violence won't solve anything. If I fight, they will only retaliate even harder
and more will die. I cannot defeat a whole nation by myself. Besides those that
I protect will only reject me again out of fear.
No, I’ve lost Palestine.
But I can still protect the Almier. I am a Guardian and I will defend my new
home, my new family till my last breath. Hopefully with the ‘Almier International
Security Treaty’ everyone will soon be able to find peace in their lands. I have
faith in the elders, they will make the nations see reason.
