Second Memory: 5/10/13 Content:A summation of the following; the memory has condensed and faded into more knowledge than like a recording.
I joined the Party to spite that man, but I soon came to believe in the cause as well. How could I not? And they had use for me. When I was eight Heaven-Soaring Wings, the most mysterious branch of the Party, began to court me. It wasn't personal. I was young enough to be flexible, to learn quickly, and to be underestimated; I was old enough to be useful, and nothing they knew about or could get from interviews suggested I would do poorly. Of course, I jumped at the chance.
There would be training, and initially I was to be paired with other field agents, provided with experienced handlers, protected when possible, and not assigned anything they knew would be particularly risky. All the same, they wanted me to be sure.
"Join us and you could get shot, knifed, dismembered, drowned, buried alive... You will have no glory or fame. Even if you quit, the Party can only do so much to protect you. You'll only be able to have a normal life if you change your identity. Are you sure you want to risk yourself so for humans and human-lovers?"
Of course I did. How kind and condescending of them to make sure! There is so much I could have said and so much I wanted to say, but on the record there is only this.
"It was their world before it was ours. I want to protect the ones who're left." Cause: Being haunted.
