Tension. Suspicion. Fear. Idleness.
These are the pains of the Revolution
Silence reigned in the warehouse as the remaining rebels huddled together around a can fire. They were tired and weary of fighting, their faces knotted in frustration. In their eyes, the reflected flames danced as embers soared through the air, illuminating the decaying world of the warehouse around them. A small flame in the dark. Like hope dying.
Nerjin was the leader of the day. He stood silent in a period in deep contemplation. None bothered to break him out of this trance.
As the hours passed, conversation began to pick up. Accusations and counter accusations were examined. Names of those who were spies were thrown about in grave bitterness. This too came to naught. When the hands of the clock drew near midnight, any final conversations were wrapped.
"Nerjin." NQT spoke. "Have you come to a decision?"
"Yes." Nerjin replied. Closing his eyes and inhaling a breath, he began to speak. "I know that I can trust myself as a rebel. So I shall be on the team. Tiruin has been one of most vital agents to the Revolution thus far, and I would fain leave her out of this operation as well. Griffionday and Griffpup both strike me as loyal members to the cause as well, so both will be included in this operation. Finally, I'll be taking Dariush along on the mission as well, for his undying and unwavering support to the cause."
"Damn right." Dariush chuckled. A small grin crossed his face. "Tiruin, break out the-"
Tiruin interrupted him, by sticking a ballot card into his mouth. "I know. Already done."
"Well what are the results?" Nerjin asked. Tiruin stood off on her own, counting the ballots one by one by the light of the fire. With eight flicks of her wrist, each slip of paper fell into the flames and were consumed by the fires. Eight names, to be remembered as heroes or villains as history saw fit.
"All votes were received. There were two votes to reject the team and six to accept it." Tiruin paused, letting the gravity of her words sink in. "The mission is a go."
