A Fading Hope chapter 8

A Fading Hope: Chapter Eight: Destiny
Song: Going Home

They say there's a place 
where dreams have all gone 
They never said where but I think I know 
It's miles through the night just over the dawn
on the road that will take me home.
I know in my bones 
I've been here before 
The ground feels the same 
though the land's been torn 
I've a long way to go 
The stars tell me so 
on this road that will take me home 
(Chorus)
Love waits for me 'round the bend 
Leads me endlessly on 
Surely sorrows shall find their end 
and all our troubles will be gone 
And I'll know what I've lost 
and all that I've won 
when the road finally takes me home.
And when I pass by
don't lead me astray 
Don't try to stop me 
Don't stand in my way 
I'm bound for the hills 
where cool waters flow 
on this road that will take me home.
Chorus.


The version I prefer is not online, but is on the CD Miles through the Night, from the Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh. well, it is only, but it's a bad quality video. I got to hear it live yesterday, and It's beautiful. if I have time, I'll post just the chorus, as I did for their song The Hanging Gale.
I chose this song- not part of the code, because I love it, firstly, and secondly because it has a feeling of hope, or peace- of getting there, but still having a long journey. Our Heroes are going home- making it to the end of this battle, this quest, but they still have a lot to go through( about 10 chapters worth).  they are hoping for the best, they are continuing on. In any case, that's the song.

Story:
So I wrote this over one of the longest weekends of my life. See, I do the Scottish Games with my mother, and It's a 12-14 hour day both days- and that's just the set up, games, and tear down- we run a tent- and then there's traveling time, and it's about 100 degrees- And I got the brilliant Idea to run the kilted mile. yeah. mistake.
But I had fun. And I wrote a lot.

I knew I had to have some sort of parent scene. I love the relationships the kids have with their parents, and I knew that if I was in this situation, I'd be acting like T.K.'s Mom. (Not that I'm a mom or anything, but meh) In any case, It was fun to dive into their relationship, and the relationship Ms. Takaishi( is it Nansuko? I keep seeing Nancy as a popular choice for her name, but that might just be Fanon, and I'm too lazy to look it up) has with the Digital world. She's more understanding than most of the parents, but at the same time, she's almost more worried because she knows much more than the other parents- with the exception of the Izumi's. So I wanted to explore that, how she would react. I think it came out nicely.

I'm not a doctor, so apologies if any of my medical stuff doesn't make sense. I'm using terminology from when I was a kid, and my brother and I had issues. I'm pretty sure what they did was give me an MRI, but I could be wrong about that, haha. So yeah, my medical mumbo-jumbo is just that.
Some goes for my programing. I don't really understand it so I used as little as possible. Yolei's better at it than I, so whenever you read ' typed rapidly" or whatever, it means did computer nerd stuff  that I'm not nerd enough( or the right type of nerd) to describe. :D  The gist is that the program can track/ find anyone, but needs their specific Digital code. Since Yolei doesn't know Izzy's( and I'd guess it was a lot of zeros and ones or some such and would be impossible to memorize anyway) she's going to hope that his digivice has the same code, since it's linked to him. I won't tell you if she's right or not.

The email conversation was a through it in, but I had a lot of fun with it. I wanted it to be serious, but with some lightheartedness in it ( "Oh, and Demiveemon says Hi." "Davis, I think it's T.K.'s business, not yours.~Gatomon.") Like a real conversation with them. I feel like I'm starting to get a better grip on the characters, and LOOK!! I even remembered the digimon! I was so proud of that. 

So that was the story. I wrote most of it sitting in a hot tent dressed up in a long skirt and bodice and the whole peasant costume. I did not write with a quill though!
see you around!
