Emma Gold...

"all these places had their moments...in my life, I've loved them all"

Emma always knew she was different growing up.  Fueled by an inquisitive mind she devoured life at it's fullest.  All those around her knew how special she was and as such, became naturally desired by them.  Their only problem was that they understood her worth, even as she did not.  They knew she was gold in a copper world.  A world she would soon outgrow.  How would they overcome such a hurdle?  By keeping the fullness of her value unknown to her.  Including this beautiful piece of gold into their world of copper until she eventually became ensnared by the ceiling they all knew so well.  Yet, what they did not anticipate was the power of innate value.  It's instinctive need to blossom would soon have them at a loss.

Emma decided it was time to do for herself because she began to see the traces of gold inside.  Her desire for a better world was nothing more than the manifestation of the gold within her.  Guiding her and directing her to seek out for more than she had known.  For more that she had been exposed to.  Yet all the years she spent in the copper world made her reluctant to let go completely lest she find herself feeling as though she was above her friends and family.  You see as gold...she loved them.  Yet she was better...but was afraid to fully accept it.  She did her best to grow within the copper world and as she did, those around her would find subtle ways to remind her of the ceiling that they have come to accept.  Slow was her growth but her determination was unwavering and little by little, all that she knew would soon turn against her for having the strength to leave them behind.  Still wrestling with the idea that she could love them to the point of understanding without being pulled in to their world.

From a distance another gold piece watches.  He wants nothing less than success for Emma because gold recognizes gold and real value only wants to see value have it's due.  Deserving of all she's never known with passion and fire thrown in for good measure...he knows she will succeed with or without him.  His real admiration and love for her continues to grow in the process.  He will do anything he can to make sure that by the time her head hits that ceiling, there will be an opening for her to crawl through...
