Chapter 6 – Mother’s Lament

  Rosemary Prower awakened very early. Like every day. In the past, she was only member of the council. However, with time her power grows and she actually caught the confidence of the king. She was later designated to command Renew and its resources. She was very rich now. Member of a council and ruler of one most popular city, married to the now Supreme General Amadeus, mother of the technical genius Tails, fortune was very easy to accumulate.

  However, her mind was still heavy. Before, she would write to make money. Now, she wrote to relieve stress. There were a lot of things bugging her. The first one was her husband absence. Since she was ruling alone, he had to stay at Mobotropolis. The second thing was her beliefs against the others. People always viewed her as the symbol of democracy, in some extreme cases even anarchism. Now they said she was as worthless as the monarchy.

  But her biggest failure, in her opinion was his son. Tails had grown a lot since the fall of Robotinik. However, their relation never got close. At first, he wanted to stay close to her. But everyday, he began wanting to be more and more far. He left her side to live alone in the rebuilt Knothole. She always guessed she never gave him enough attention. Or perhaps he lived so much time without parents he doesn’t needed them anymore. As this idea crossed her mind, tears rolled her cheek. She felt like the worst mother in the world. She felt hated by everyone. She felt like they were right, she had sold her own beliefs for power.

  Losing control, she began to write very fast. The pen rushed against the paper with such speed that the paper cut. She kept writing without stop, till her hand was in severe pain. Then she stopped and read. Her words didn’t make any sense. Everyday was the same, she was overworked and stressed.

  Worst, she had to make an announcement in three days. Every announcement, her heart, already heavy, becomes like a time bomb. Not even all the make-up she was using would keep her fatigue hided. She knew that sooner or later the journalists will notice, and then she would be the talk of the all magazines.

  She got up, and went to the kitchen to have breakfast. She looked at the empty place and wondered when she became so lonely. Everyone admired her; however they would only approach her with their own desires. Journalist wanting interviews, politics wanting favors, people calling for their rights... there was not a single one who went because they cared about her. There was only Amadeus that always sent a call or an email. Still, talking through a machine will never take the place of talking personally.

  She then had an idea: how about he made a surprise visit to his son? She had much to do, but if she didn’t see him soon, she knew she would become crazy. Don’t giving much thought, she quickly finished eating, dressed herself and picked her imported silver car. She went for the shortest route, with Knothole on her mind…
