I crept through the slums, a soft ball of light in my hand. I wasn't hunting down some villain or another: no, this place was supposedly where the archives of the Star Movement - magical girls, to give it a more prosaic term - were kept. Kehaya, the self-proclaimed revolutionary and my boss, refused to let anyone know where the archives were, much less look at them, but my thirst for curiosity and the internet helped me to track down the place...and here I was. I hoped.
I shook my head in disbelief at the state of the place. A ramshackle old building, in danger of collapsing if so much as a dust mote landed on it...could this be where the records were kept. Tentatively I turned the door handle, which broke off in my hand, along with a sizeable portion of the door itself. Cursing, I squeezed myself inside and heard something rustling...old paper. I ran the light gently over it. Nothing special...records of past magical girls, scrawled in an almost unreadable hand. There were odd symbols next to their names, though. KIA...that must mean "killed in action", I reasoned. A couple of magical girls I'd worked with who died in fights had that next to their names. "O" presumably meant other causes, and a blank meant they were still alive, I reasoned - at least my cause of death tab was unfilled. But there were other symbols there, a D and an R...what could they mean?
I picked up a file on Eleutheria, one of the "R" marked girls. It mentioned her tendency to revolt, and something called the "War of Sorrow". A couple of other sheets of paper were also attached, mentioned as her "last treatise". This was intriguing...I'd never heard of mutiny within the ranks. I decided to read this treatise, find out more...
My name is Sophie Dreyfus. The name Kehaya gave me is Eleutheria, but that's not my real name, not the name my parents gave me. I'm writing this down because I will die soon and I want someone to find this, to know the real goal of the Father of the Revolution.
He says the Star Movement fights on behalf of beauty, justice and truth. I was his lieutenant and I can tell you right now that he's lying. Our attacks might look pretty, but you only have to look at the blood and guts of our enemies to see that they're not. We are fundamentally unjust, as I'll come on to later, and Kehaya is the biggest liar in the universe, so that's truth gone out of the window. He's been lying to us for several centuries now. I'll show you why.
The stated aim of the Star Movement is to "cleanse the world of evil". This normally entails going out and fighting in the Dreamworld, i.e. the shared mind of the universe. That's fundamentally unjust, because once an idea in the Dreamworld is killed it can never be brought back again, and only Kehaya decides what's evil. This is repression of freedom of thought on a massive scale. Secondly, the Dreamworld have never done anything to us. None of the people or things there have ever landed on Earth and started wars. Thirdly, the Dreamworld is not inherently evil: Kehaya has misguided us all. He has taken care to cover his tracks, but with a curious mind and a great deal of research I uncovered them again...
...I put the paper down for a second and breathed hard, sweat cold on my forehead. This person had done the same thing that I had done: researched and researched, spurred on by gnawing thoughts, and eventually come upon the truth or some part of it...Could what this Eleutheria said be true? And if so, what did it entail?
...Kehaya did not originate in the corporeal plane; rather, he was a creature of the Dreamworld. One of its nobles, in fact. He was kicked out by the high command, not for sedition, not for stirring up rightful revolution, not even for righteous dissent. No, he was kicked out for waging a campaign of genocide that would have wrecked the Dreamworld had it not been halted. Allies of mine there have allowed me access to some of the archives, which note the "Father of the Revolution"'s (he was then called Lord Aral) questionable mental stability and irrational hate of anyone who didn't look like him. Since permanent death, such as we practise, is forbidden there, he was instead sent to Earth. Unfortunately, that backfired and he created the Star Movement.
What does this mean? Kehaya's been leading us on: rather than fighting a glorious war for the sake of justice and truth, we're the pawns of a mad racist brutally murdering innocent people for him. His heart, and by extension ours, are as black as coal from all this killing.
I am sure to die for writing this, but I die in the hope that someone will find this and know.
I put down the paper again and tried to stop myself from shaking. If this was true, the whole world had been turned upside down. The Revolution was really just revenge, the Star Movement terrorism. And the Stars, us magical girls, its unknowing pawns.
I heard footsteps somewhere and a man's incoherent muttering. If Kehaya knew I was here, I'd be dead for sure...but I couldn't leave this here. I gently gathered up the file in my hands and made to run.
I was stopped by the shadows. |
