Summary: Often, that which goes unspoken speaks the loudest.
Prompt: July 5 – #28. Gundam Wing, Treize/Wufei: The difference between victory and defeat - "Who knows where my dreams will end, I'll follow as they grow."
A/N: Kind of veered from the quote in the prompt – I let it write itself.
I’ve always pictured Treize to have a Russian pedigree that he could trace back to the age of the Tzars, and with that background comes the legend of the Firebird. Its name literally means “ember bird” – aglow with flameless fire. It signifies fortune both good and ill, and is itself a symbol of power and wealth: large, strong, and shining like gold.
As for Wufei, the connection to dragons is canon. A little research on top of that and I think his horoscope sign would be the Metal Dragon: strong-willed, inflexible, unbending, combative and ruthless. Metal Dragon proceeds alone if no one will follow, and he will fight until he wins for he will never bow to failure.
