I was born in time of War. I was born to be a starfighter, to spit fire and death, and to drive our mutual enemies away from our home. But I was born to seek Peace, to bring an end to the fighting that plagued us. I saw each battle as one step closer to the last one. I have not yet found my last battle, but I treasure every moment of peace I can secure. A cool night before a warm fire. A trip to the mall with friends. Singing songs with those we wish to spend our lives with. A long conversation with friends. Those are the moments worth fighting for. They make us human. And that is the greatest challenge many of us will ever face. Being human. And what goal is there that is more fulfilling?
