The Light of Hope
By: Chibi-chan

To the one who finds this child…

Time is running out, not only for me, but my whole kind as well. I'm thankful that that Elw scientist gave me warning of what was to come. She had also seen fit to let me take on the task of letting me take with me what she and much of the others of my kind that were not affected by bloodlust as the "Light of Hope" and find a safe place for him.

You see, although our kind was made for war, there were some who disliked fighting and taking the lives of others, even though the enemies were called "demons". They called us "rejects", and thus we were shunned, even less liked than those few who were born having one parent one of the "demons". Ironically, many of those children were called to fight for the humans and Elw because of their innate skill with the ARMs that were taken from the "demons". It's always so sad to see children get caught up in war. One way or another, however, our "Light of Hope" will not be forced to fight or be cast into an exile if he doesn't want to do so.

This child that I carry with me, the one we call our "Light of Hope", carries all of our hopes that our kind will still survive, and that at least one of us may see a day where neither human, Elw, and even the "demons" will feel a need to be at war with each other.

I leave this child here for his own safety. I pray that when he awakens, the virus the fearful humans and Elws sent to destroy all of our kind will be gone, unable to complete its mission. To whoever finds our "Light of Hope", please take good care of him. Teach him there are other ways to live other than a life of fighting. Teach him that just because he has a special power, he shouldn't use it unless he has a good purpose to do so. Most of all, instill in him that there will always be a future and that he should do what he can to ensure it will be bright.

Whoever finds this note, please respect my final wish. I, Shinzaki, only wish I could take care of him and see this future for myself, but now that is impossible. Our "Light of Hope" must carry on at all costs! Our kind, the Holmcross, must not end like this! For our future… and your own… watch over the "Light of Hope"…

End

The light of hope is never extinguished…
