Title: Tomorrow
Prompt: Challenge 22- Beginnings
Rated: PG
Word Count: 100
Characters: Erik (Magneto), implied Charles
Summary: He has to say goodbye to the past before he can embrace the future
Warning: Nothing
With his back to the room of waiting mutants he steals a moment for self reflection.
Now is when focus, determination, an unwavering drive of purpose, opens the page on a new chapter, one that will change the course of history and the evolution of species forever.
This is the precipice.
A moment first, however, to lament the void of the one who is not here, the one he holds above all others as his equal, his familiar, his touchstone.
Now bury it. Lock it away.
Turning, he takes in the waiting crowd and smiles.
“Comrades, welcome to the future.”
