Nota sobre "Elements"

Hola, espero que les aya gustado la serie "Elements", esta en ingles xq se me ocurrio escribirlas en ingles, aunque mucha gente q usualmente lee(o leia) este blog tiene suficiente conocimiento del idioma para entenderlo. Para los que no saben ingles, no confien en el traductor de google, lo traduce muy mal, despues posteare "Elements" en español para hacerlo mas accesible a las masas del pais. Ahora empezare a escribir "Prologue" una serie de 5 historias cortas que son la explicacion de lo que paso mucho antes de "Elements" y sabran un poco de Nathan Danniels y de como se metio en esta complicada situacion. Asi como en "Elements" vendra acompañado de una cancion que creo sera la mas adecuada para cada historia.
Mucho mas adelante ira saliendo "Revelations", pero eso es otro tema que dejare para mas adelante.
Suerte y gracias de una manera u otra...
Auf wiedersehen.

He felt the universe was with him and against him at the same time, as everything he experienced made him suffer but taught him a lot about life and it's maquiavelic moves. He just wanted to go back in time with everything he knew then so he could undo every mistake he made so it would have been all better, but deep inside himself he knew that that would be all wrong. He realized, like Don Quijote did, that not all his thoughts were wright and that he may crash a lot windmills just if he kept pretending they were all giants.

Nathan couldn't believe the charges, thought they were a bit over-exaggerated they were right. He had done all the things he was accused of doing. one of the worst things one can do to himself. He had lost confidence in himself and he had fallen into a self-regret spiral, doing nothing to stop his deterioration and recover some of his lost dignity. He had abandoned himself in the time he was more needed.

He knew what to do now, he knew it still wasn't late enough, so he stood up and spoke for himself as he never spoke before in his life, with words and phrases that could have been part of a Shakespearean play. A long silence then filled the room, everyone in the court was astonished as they have never thought Nathan would have done that the way he did. The silence was broken by the sound of an applause, then another, and soon the all the room was filled with the sound of clapping hands and cheering mouths.
