In a low voice she speaks “It has been a long and twisting road to this place. So many years. So many people. So many false dawns. But those of us who kept the faith never wavered from our goal of uniting the many peoples of Cal. It has never been easy, but what of worth ever is?”
“There are many who should be here today, who can not, but they are here in spirit along with the hundreds who believed in this place but have since passed.”
*She bows her head*
“How ever this is the dawn of a new age for all of Cal. An age of peace. An age of hope. An age of new beginnings. Not since the golden age of ancients has Cal been united and now it shall be. Many have tried to achieve this by force of arms and failed. It has been achieved because the peoples of Cal have willed it, though some will still have some misgivings and some fear the change. To them I say”
*She looks up and smiles*
“This place will not fail them, I WILL NOT LET IT! Take my word on that....”
*A cheers goes up*
“What is ahead of us is unknown to all but the goddess, but we face it together and are stronger for that. We will step forwards into the world as one with a truly democratic parliament to govern us and the Lacan council to provided a tempering force should we falter. With the law lords to protect us from our selves.”
“This place was built for one reason...hope after the end of the great Cal war. We can assign those days of violence and hatred to history, but never forget the lessons we learned.”
*she bows her head again*
“But now we have to start to build our future, not least the practicality's of housing the Lacan Council and electing our representatives to sit in this place, but remember they are your servants not your masters. You, the people of Cal are the sovereign power, no king, no parliament, no dictator, no power exists that can take that from you.”
*A cheers goes up, from apparently nowhere a glass has appeared in her hand. She raises it in a toast*
“To a new tomorrow's, one many thought would never come”
*A sad smile forms on her face*
“And to those who have fought for this day but have passed”
*She takes a drink. She is not the only one drinking as, as it from nowhere, most of the crowd have produced drinks*
“But I must now take my leave of you, I have my final duties as head of the old parliament to carry out before I leave.”
“Remember this dawn, for it is a good dawn, this day will live in history as the day Cal agreed that we were better together than apart.”
*She looks up grins wildly*
She screams “BY THE GODDESS WE HAVE DONE IT!”
*She turns and marchs soff towards the building behind her, glass in hand. The crowd cheers wildly and champaign corks start flying, it must be noted that the people of Tel are noted for their propensity towards celebrations (It is unlikely much will be done in Tel today)*
*The camera cuts back to Fal Wen who seems to have been on the receiving end of one of the many champaign openings. He is trying to maintain at least some professionalism, this is difficult as he is soaked in champaign and pandemonium has broken out behind him*
“So there we have it, unification has been confirmed and more. The surprise decision of the Lacan council to expand and move to this place makes the unification even stronger than expected since the monarchs have all agreed to a unified council.”
“This is Fal Wen handing you back to the studio”
*Cut back to the studio*
“In other news.....”
