Rosemary has 32,337 PL.
After so long; after so much preparation, the night was finally here. Land had to be acquired. Bribes were paid. Medicine and food was brought in from all over the Vegetan territory. The sun had begun to set several minutes earlier, revealing a sliver of the promised celestial beauty as the light began to slowly fade. An unimaginable number of Saiyans had gathered in the canyon, bereft of title or creed as they all sought one thing and one thing only: freedom.
This was what she had worked so hard for, so hard to create. Much of it had to have been done in secret, away from the eyes of those in the capitol who felt they knew better. She had used what clout she had in the military to secure the land and supplies for them, and the clergy had done the rest. To be honest, she hadn't quite pictured this many showing up all at once. She had imagined... maybe half this number, more or less.
Her lips spread into a wide smile in glee at the thought of what was to come for them.
Rosemary sat on the edge of the canyon, looking down on the crowd as her legs and tail dangled off the side like a child waiting for their favorite show to start. Her usual combat ready attire had been cast aside in favor of a more simple halter top and briefs that would stretch with her when the time came; lest she damage a perfectly good piece of armor needlessly. She could hear the prayers and the service being given down below, but she had neglected to take part in it. Something about all of this just seemed so... silly, in the grand scheme of things. Before, she had given this her all. These were the people who had raised her, after all. But now...
Now, she had been to Hell and back. She had seen the afterlife with her own eyes. She had learned more than anyone could ever hope to know down in the canyon. She had doubts...
Doubts, but those were far from a desire to back out from all of her hard work. As the light of the sun continued to fade, she raised her bottle of whiskey high and drank. She could stop thinking about such things soon, and simply enjoy herself.
