Dias turned and walked away with Leon on the verge of tears and Randi still injured from Dias' surprise attack. Randi knew this man wasn't going to give up on him. After the pompous man left, Randi stood up. "Nice friend you have there," he said to Leon, who was still a little shaken up.

"How's your wound," Leon said with a worried expression on his face.

"I'll be fine, thanks for your help back there," Randi said.

"Dias has a thing about being the best at what he does. You should be careful too, there's a reason he's still alive with his temper."

"I'll have to face it. That man and I will have a real battle before this tournament is over." Randi said. He then touched the wound on his back. 'Mana power is now within me....I wonder.' He moved his hand over the wound and he felt a small energy from his palm. He repeated the action until the wound closed itself.

"Not as powerful as Cure Water, but it'll have to do."

OOC: Congratulations to all those who survived. ^_^

Daigohji, that pic is AWESOME! *cackles*

*****

Vincent and Cloud stopped only a few feet away from the shrine they had come from. Leon and Randi were there too, it seemed.

"Are you two okay?" Cloud asked.

"What happened?" Vincent said, drawing his gun.

Woohoo! ZEAL!!!! ^_________^ *rejoices*

*rubs tired eyes and yawns* Ahhh.....mornin', everyone. And a hearty congratulations to those of you who made it to this round. ^_ ^ And, I must say that I'm really enjoying your story, Spadstein -- excellent writing and interesting ideas. And, great pic, Daigohji -- LMAO.

Now....time for a certain sleepyhead to get up, too.


-------------------------------------------

Pleasantly warm air....cool, moist grass....what kind of paradise is this?

Back in his "flying cat" form once more, Nall was curled contentedly amid the beauty of the main Zeal continent, blissfully dreaming of more pleasant things than the events of the past few days.

"Mmmm....yes.....don't stop....More.....fish. You can never have enough....fish. Fiiiiiiiiish...."

The sunlight poked impatiently at his eyelids, and he curled into a tighter ball, resisting it's attempt to rouse him from his dream.

"No....not yet. Just....one more fish...."

But at last, he gave in and opened his eyes, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the comfortable surroundings he'd sensed while dreaming were really there. A smile spread over his small face as he yawned sleepily.

This must still be a dream, Nall thought happily, as he took in the beauty around him. The lush greenery, the exquisite architecture of the buildings that rose high into the crystalline blue sky, the sparkling, sapphire water that flowed right off the edge of the cliff....

Wait a minute....!

Nall's sleepy eyes snapped open, suddenly fully awake as he realized just what he was seeing. Stretching his wings, he rose a little bit into the air and flew over to the edge of the cliff where said water was flowing off of.

Peering over it, he was stunned to see a blizzard raging far below him, whatever land there might exist blanketed in the thick snow. The island he was on....was apparently floating high in the sky.

I know this can't possibly be Vane....so where am I? Stunned, Nall sank to the cool, grassy surface again, still worn out from the exertion of the previous day. This isn't like any place I've ever seen or heard about....what can it possibly be?

Well....no point in sitting around and speculating. If I'm going to find out where I am, I should investigate. Maybe I'll find the others while I'm at it.


Rising from his perch, Nall flew off in the direction of the nearby town of Kajar, though he didn't know the name of the place. I should be able to find some information there, hopefully....

LOL! Great picture Daig...

Tseng stirred as a blast of cold air hit him. He tried to move...he couldn't. He couldn't!

Tseng looked up to see a cowled figure, all in black. The one splash of colour were two glowing red embers where eyes should be.

HELLO AGAIN TSENG

The words went right into Tseng's mind, without bothering with all that messy stuff in the ears and nerves. Tseng tried to talk between the chattering of his teeth. "Y..y..you again. Don..n't you give...up?"

WHY SHOULD I? I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. WHICH, IN YOUR CASE, WILL BE LESS THAN A DAY.

"S...so you're g..gonn..na give m...m...me all th...at 'Join the d...dark side' s...sp...iel? S...sorry, c...could you c...co...come back later s...so I can spit i...in those f..f...freak eyes of yours?"

REALLY SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY TSENG. REALLY, I AM

The figure turned to walk away...and Tseng could feel the darkness descending...

Shivers: technicolor edition (some SSSC spoilers)

OOC: Dude, Spads, is that an SO2 spoiler? Or just something you made up? The name, I mean.

Anyway, nice writing.

LOL at Daig's pic!

------------

So... cold... I just... want... to sleep...

NO! Keep moving, Ghaleon... the Transmission Spring must be here somewhere... you can sleep once you get to Vane.

But there is nothing... anywhere... just ice, snow... if this is truly my doing, then I deserve everything Nall did, or tried to do... and more... No other humans, no creatures, just... bleak wilderness. What a terrible thing to happen to Lunar...

But... the mountains to the Northeast are... where the Tower... BRRR... so the Spring... to the East... just a little farther, Ghaleon... just... a... little... farther...


*And thus the freezing mage fell forward into a snowbank, wrapped in grief, believing he had inflicted this eternal winter on his own land. As he drew nearer to death, strange visions began to appear...*

"Who... are you?"

"I am Nash, who trusted you. You betrayed me! You went against everything you had ever taught me! You put Mia in danger! How could you??? You were my hero..."

Nash... I...

"I am Mia. You were like a father to me. You read me bedtime stories when I was young. What happened to you, Ghaleon? What led you to this, Ghaleon? Why did you do it? None of those people deserved to die..."

No... no...

"I am Kyle. We were happy until you showed up! Life was good! Why did you want to change that?"

But...

"I am Jessica. You call yourself a servant of Althena? You went against everything she ever stood for... everything YOU ever stood for! You disgust me!"

Everything...

"I am Alex. You took Luna away from me. You used her like a pawn for your own gain. Why, Ghaleon? What made you think you could save the human race by invalidating its very reason for existence? You would have done away with love, with joy, with happiness... why even bother saving humanity after that?"

I... never meant...

"Traitor!"

"Monster!"

"Bastard!"

"Fiend!"

"Devil!"

NO! PLEASE! I... I... I...

Another shape... who is it now...?

"Izlude!"

"Don't you dare talk to me. I trusted you. Look what you did. LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!! How could you, Ghaleon... I thought we were friends... I thought you were a good man. Silly me."

Izlude!... No... *sob*

"Your dreams are troubled, Ghaleon. I am Doreen. Wake up, Ghaleon, lest you perish before you find the answers you seek. Continue forward, Ghaleon. Come to me, and I will help you to find your own way."

"...Doreen? Who...?"


"Wake up, Ghaleon..."

"Wake up! Ghaleon, come on, buddy! Don't do this!"

"Ron... Ronfar...?"

"Yeah! Come on! That's it. There's a building just to the East; there'll be shelter there! We're almost there! Come on!"

"All... all right."

"Nothing major" Leon said to the two men.
"Just a minor 'argument' with a 'friend' " Leon continued.

Leon turned to the blonde spiky headed man.
"You should keep an eye out for my 'friend' " Leon said.
"He likes to attack those who wield swords...."
Leon noticed the mans sword. He turned to the gun bearing man.

"Keep an eye on your friend here." Leon said softly.
"He may need your help..."

OOC: Cloud is using his sword....right? Or no?

"What I tell you is true. In the far flung future, a human Lenneth will present herself. She will devise a logical but risky plan. The Sulunakan elder and yourself agreed that I would go back in time to contact your younger self when you were still a Goddess. And here we are now."

Tagami's eyes began to grow wide as saucers.

"Loki. Messiah. Please forgive me for I am about to reveal both of your life secrets but you gave me specific instructions to do so...oh the River of Time will be so contaminated because of me!" Tagami cursed herself. Why, of all Elemental Gearbolts, was she chosen to be the Timewalker???

She collected herself. So many stories, not enough time.
"Not long from now, Loki will find a way to offer you something you always wanted. Loki will give you the tempting opportunity to become human, an experience of a lifetime. Messiah, you must not accept it! Whatever you do, an entire race and planet depend on you being what you are. You must not deny yourself."

Lenneth: "And why not?"

Tagami: "Because it will be your own plan to recreate the Sulunakans as if for the first time. What's more, you will give them an Essence in each and every one of their bodies. With Essence floating within them, Bel Cain's device will be useless and the Sougeiku will have no choice but to resort to war.

At that point, the Sulunakans will still be scattered and divided. Your older self vowed that she would take the Sulunakans under her wing and teach them to be like the Valhallan Valkyries of lore, instill them with fighting spirit so they can defend themselves. You and the Sulunakan people will drive them back from where they came. This is the only way to prevent their genocide.

Do you see? None of this will ever happen if you choose to become human. That's why it's so important for you to stay a goddess..."

Lenneth pondered for awhile, "Not that I don't believe you, but surely my 'human self' would have given you some kind of evidence, some sort of..."

Tagami smiled weakly, "You told me you were going to say that."

The Timewalker snapped her fingers and the most beautiful sword to ever grace the skies appeared like an angel from the heavens.

Lenneth was speechless as she fumbled for her own weapon to draw and compare.

By Odin, it was Dainslef.

Tagami: "Messiah, you gave me this sword as a sign of the truth.

You declared it a symbol of hope.

And now, I stand ready to use it and defend you till my last breath."

"Swords? Wait... are you talking about a man named Dias?"

Leon nodded reluctantly. "Do you know him?"

"Sort of. Let's just say we've crossed paths before, though not as enemies." Vincent looked down at his feet. "Hopefully it won't come to that."

"I've already got another swordwielder to deal with," Cloud said angrily, gripping the Ultima Weapon. "Sephiroth..."

"Don't worry. We will stop him, Cloud, I promise you. And don't worry about Dias. If it comes down to it, I'll fight him. You have more important things to do, like finding Tifa."

"Thanks, Vincent."

"No problem." Vincent turned back to Leon. "It's Leon, right? Which way were you planning on going?"

*****

Edit: Yep, Cloud's using a sword.

Heheheh....you didn't really think I'd forget about that ever-amusing part of his characterization, did you? Heh....Nall is SO fun to write.

Où est la Lumière?

I manage to survive that round by just a tiny little margin!

Now, it's getting difficult to vote. I may vote my allies, so today, my voting strategy is, I won't vote for anyone who had used their r-votes on me, be it the first round or the last. Those who helped me before are not getting my votes.

Ok, time to write something before I lose my consciousness to my sleep

"Well, I'm not really sure which way to go..." Leon replied.
"I do need to make sure that Randi is alright though.."
"If he is alright...we could tag along with you..."
"If Randi doesn't want to go, i'll still tag along.."

OOC: I need to get offline now, so you can use Leon if you want to.^_^ Just don't make him all stupid.:P I'll be back a little later.

PSST! Saint7-san! ^_^;; Lenneth's wielding Levantine right now.

*works around the story*

===

Loki-wolf absently scratched an ear with his hind leg. This was growing more and more fascinating ...

= Me? Offer humanity? Ah, a role of villainy. How exciting. And how do I do that? =

He looked upon the blade that the emerald-haired woman presented.

= Oh, Lenneth, I'm so disappointed.
I would have thought you might have given them the Demon Sword Levantine as proof.
Or at least one of the artifacts you sometimes "borrowed" from Odin.
Holy Sword Seraphy, perhaps? Jewelled Grimrist? Slashing Sword "Farewell", even?
But ... Dainslef? =


He paused and switched to the other ear.

= Dainslef ... the name meaning "God Slayer" ...
... even though it's rather misnamed ...

Well, it looks like you've grown a sense of humor in the future. =


He grinned wolfishly (...) at her, tongue hanging out between the massive jaws.
