Okay, time for Celes' conclusion, and the
intro to my new sidekick! ^^ -----------------------
The sound of seagulls stirred Celes out of her
sleep.
"No...it couldn't be..." The morning sunlight
shone through the cracks in the familiar wooden walls, casting
thin lines on Celes' surprised face. Somehow, she was now
home, back in her unnasuming shack on Solitary Island. Not
knowing what else to do, she moved towards the rudimentay
stove that Cid had built, and heated up a cup of water. Since
there was no tea, warm water was a beverage Celes frequently
drank.
Drinking the water, Celes reflected on the past
few days. Was it really two whole days? Or was it three? Celes
couldn't remember, and the significance of the experience, if
there was any, completely eluded her. Why had she been forced
to fend for herself in such foreign environments? Why was she
forced to witness the darker side of humans, with all their
violence and instability? None of it had amounted to anything.
After all was said and done, she was still on this forgotten
rock of an island.
The ocean breeze had been picking
up for the past few minutes, and it grew strong enough to blow
open the thin slab of wood that served as a door. Gently
swaying back and forth, the door was almost beckoning to
Celes, persuading her to step out onto the beach. She lowered
her cup with her trembling hands and rose to her feet.
Upon stepping outside, Celes gasped. There, standing
straight up in the sand as if it was destined to be there, was
her sword. The sunlight bounced of its surface, casting a
strong golden glow. Celes gently picked the sword up. Energy
was still running through the sword, causing Celes to
instinctively drop it.
Energy? she thought.
Then, it came to her. Of course! Marle's energy had brought
Celes' sword to life! Celes picked up the sword again and
stared at her reflection in the blade. Marle... she
thought, that girl was a true a friend. Perhaps,
she...changed me somehow.
And that's when it
dawned on her. It grabbed hold of Celes like a divine
epiphany: that was the significance of the tournament!
Before, Celes' soul had been empty. It was as fragile and
transparent as the ocean water that crashed against the shore,
and Celes had become accostumed to projecting her negative
emotions on it. Fear, despair, anxiety...they were all there.
Celes had lost touch with her inner beauty and filled up that
vacant hole with self-doubt.
But Marle! Marle showed
Celes something that she had long forgotten about. Friendship.
Just like her magic power had brought new life to Celes'
sword, Marle as a person had brought new life to Celes'
essence. It was that kindness, that human connection that
Celes had long forgotten. A much-needed smile spread across
her face, and Celes sprinted back into the shack.
This
time, Celes was taking the right fork in the road; not up to
the northern cliffs, but down to the basement where a raft was
stored. Gathering up the few belongings she had, Celes threw
the raft onto the ocean's surface and leaped on top of it.
Without looking back at the island, Celes gazed at the
horizon. "Locke, Sabin, Terra...everyone...", she whipsered,
"I will find you. No matter how long it takes, I will find
you..." -----------------------------
And
of course, we all know she does! Woohoo!! And for some reason, Celes' raft ride at
the end reminds me of the helicopter ride at the end of
Jurassic Park!! **cue in the JP theme** ahhhhh....
Okay, I'm going to sponser Miang as a sidekick.
-------------------------- **cue in "The Mystic's
Dream" by Loreena McKennitt**
Miang opened an eye.
It's time, the voice inside her echoed. Time to
return to that...place. It's time to show the humans the true
meaning of their powerless existence
And with
that, she was gone. ---------------------
Wheeeeee!! It's sooo much fun to play a faceless evil
demon-goddess!!! pH33r /\/\|4|\|6 !!!!! HAHAHA!
**laughs**
