Chapter One: A New Body
Sometimes moments in life call to be captured. Whether they are good or bad doesn’t matter, the moments must be remembered. And not only in one’s mind, but in some other way as well. Something physical. Charlie believed this wholeheartedly. He drew. He took the moments that needed to be immortalized and did just that. On Rhodia it was crowds of citizens listening to a speech, the signing of an important document, the grave of a loyal guard or children at recess in the castle courtyard after their field trip to meet the royal family. But on earth, they were always smaller moments. Moments that mattered to Charlie, personally. On Rhodia he drew things that would matter to the future. Earth was different. He wasn’t a prince on earth. He didn’t need to worry about the future much anymore because, to be honest he wasn’t sure he had one. On earth the drawings had to do with Charlie as Charlie not Charlie the prince of Rhodia. His first drawing was of his human form. The doctor had created it for him, Charlie wasn’t sure how but he liked it. This form suited him. It made Charlie feel young and new. Like he could do anything. And then guilty. He was meant to be mourning. He wasn’t supposed to be happy or pleased with this new form. This form was supposed to be a reminder of all that he lost and yet it felt like liberation rather than damnation. The doctor seemed to notice the boy’s distress. “Their all gone and I have the audacity to feel happy.” Charlie spat when the time lord asked him what was wrong. “You can be sad all the time if you want Charlie. But it won’t change anything. However, if you let yourself be happy, not always, but sometimes, the world will be a much more bearable place.” Charlie was unsure, “Believe me, you are going to be sad for a very long time, so let yourself be happy sometimes.” Charlie thought about it. He looked back at the mirror and he was…happy. He never wanted to forget that feeling.
