And even more depressing stuff for you
guys!!
OOC: Ok, mabe not
quite. ^_^ Actually, maybe even an anti-depressent...O_o
Angelalex, where should we be? In Zophar's stomach? Or
somewhere else? No matter, I don't need to know for this
post... ------- Rena finally awoke. It took a while
for her eyes to adjust. She had double vision for a few
seconds...and then she saw a bright white light.
"Aughh...am I...in heaven?"
"Is that
really where you want to be?" an odd sort of voice
asked. Rena got up. She found herself in a very weird place.
It was multicolored, almost surrealistic. There was a large
tree with berries up above, and a little treehouse built into
it. Where exactly was she? She looked down at herself. No
blood, no blade protuding from her chest.
"I...didn't
die?"
"Oh man...she's messed up, bro," another voice
said.
"Give her time," the first voice answered. Rena
looked around.
"Excuse me, but...can one of you tell
me where I am?" she asked tentatively. A figure stepped out of
the darkness. A very odd figure. It's skin was brown, and it
was wearing a white robe.
"You are in limbo,"
he/she/it answered. "Where lost souls wander."
"Limbo?
Lost souls?"
"Yes. Between life and death. Not quite
sure where you belong."
"But...I should be dead! The
blade went right through me!"
"Like I said before...do
you really want to die?"
"I...I..."
"Hey, bro! Why don't you clue her in?"
"Shhh!
In time!" he said, exasperated.
"What...exactly is
going on? And who are you two?" They were nearly identical in
appearence.
"I'm Masa!"
"And I'm Mune."
"Well, listen...Masa...Mune...I shouldn't be here. I
should be somwere in heaven, with all the other dead people.
With...Dias."
"Ahhh, yes. Dias, the 'Hero of Light'."
"Yes! Where is he?!"
"He is not here. He has
made the peaceful journey into the lifestream...his dead soul
is finally at peace." (OOC: Yes, I'm aware that I'm combining
the plot of two games...)
"Then...how come I'm not
there?!"
"It was not your time to die," a third voice
said simply.
"Doreen!" Masa and Mune exclaimed. She
was a lot like them, although undoubtably a female.
"Not my time to die?! What do you mean? I was ready to
die! I want to be with Dias!"
"Child...you have so
much you have yet to live for...surely Dias wouldn't have
wanted you to do this."
"Who are you to tell me what
Dias wants and what he doesn't?! I knew him better than
anyone, so don't give me that BS!" Doreen laughed quietly.
"I understand that you loved him, Rena. But you have
to put him behind you. Let go...it was his time to die. He
died with honor, even if he doesn't know it."
"LET
GO?! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DEAD!!" Rena shrieked. "GONE!
HE'LL NEVER COME BACK!"
"Whoa..." Masa said, stepping
back. Doreen, however, looked unfazed.
"Rena, you have
an important role you have yet to fufill! How old are you?"
"20..." (OOC: Going by Dias's three years.)
"You are still young! You have so much of your life to
live!"
"I don't want to live," Rena said bluntly. "Not
without Dias." Doreen sighed loudly. She was obviously getting
impatient.
"Listen Rena. You have to fufill something
important in the future. Without Dias. You lived 2 years of
your life without him, and another 3 after that. So how is it
any different?"
"He wasn't dead at that time!"
"He isn't dead, Rena...he lives inside of you. His
soul will always be with you. He'll live on beside you, always
watching over you." </cheesy lines>
". . ."
"Listen...we're not supposed to tell the future to
anyone, but..." Mune looked up.
"You'll find another
love. Someone special. He'll certainly never take Dias's
place, but you'll love him..."
"It's foreseen!" Masa
exclaimed.
"...Really?"
"Yes. You have so much
left..."
"How do I know you're not lying? Dias was all
I had left...the only one who cared about me..."
"That's not true!" Doreen exclaimed. "You hace Celine,
Opera, Ernest, Precis, Bowman, Chisato, Noel...and two of your
friends are with you...Leon and Ashton. They care about you.
I'll bet they're worried about you as we speak! Especially
Ashton! He was with you from the beginning..."
"They
don't care anymore. They all have other people to worry
about."
"Again, that's not true! They care about you
as a friend, Rena...not to even mention the new friends you
made on this adventure! The girl, Luna, who you helped in the
beginning of the adventure...Marle, the energetic girl who has
the pendant that controls the Mammon Machine...Vivi, the mage
who helped you when you were about to drown in a flash
flood...Tseng, the Turk who was also a friend of Dias's and
helped you two out...Vincent, who helped you out during the
flash flood and with the golems...Mizuki, the green haired
girl who challenged Dias and danced with you on your wedding
night...Nall, the flying dragon, who helped you with the
golems...there are so many people who's lives you've touched!
All those people care about you, no matter how small their
part in your life was! Look at how many other people are out
there..."
"Do...do all those people really care
about...me?" Rena whispered. Doreen nodded.
"They're
waiting for you, Rena..." Rena stood up slowly. At first they
were unsure of what she was going to do.
Then, with a
flicker of the childish innocence she once had, she flashed
the three of them a grin.
"Then what are we waiting
for?!" Doreen, Masa and Mune all grinned back.
"Yeah!
I knew she's come through!" Masa exclaimed.
"Let's
go!" Mune said.
"So...how do we get out of here?"
"Right now we're in a dimentional vortex. We take that
gate up there back to reality." Rena nodded.
"And,
Rena..."
"Yeah?"
"Lucia, Luna's friend,
princess of the Blue Star..."
"What about her?"
"She gave a red knife to Dias. He was the best
swordsman in the tournament...but now..."
Rena looked
down at the ground.
"Well, Cloud Strife has now taken
it over. He is the next best swordsman here...I understand
that he killed Dias, but...he was under the control of an evil
force. It wasn't his fault...he truly regrets it...it might be
hard, but we need you to help him in any way you can." Rena
nodded slowly.
"I understand...I can't bring Dias
back, but I can avenge him."
"Good...now we opened the
gate for you...take the path back to reality..." The three of
them dissappeared. ------- OOC: Wow. That was long,
wasn't it? Well, I got out of my depressive
streak...^_^
