The End the Middle and the New. Chapter one: The Successor. Yuna began to cast the sending, tears in her eyes, she spun and spun, dancing a graceful dance, spinning her staff as she did so. Sin fell in pain, an orange whirlpool swirling around, the aeons gently fading away. Tidus frowned, something wasn’t right. “What’s that?” Lulu said looking around them, he saw the world dissolving all around them, then he looked at Yuna, her eyes wide with terror. “What have we done?” It was only a whisper but Tidus heard it loud and clear, then he watched as everything around him shifted, and just like in Seymour’s home, everything was a sea of stars, with him all alone, and yet one voice called out in desperation. “I…can’t die…yet.” With that he was suddenly dragged by some unknown force, he saw the space and stars shifting around him forming a tunnel. Images, of his friends, family, people he never knew of past before his eyes voices ringing in his ears. “I’ll be your knight” “Accursed Seeds…you…” Then suddenly he hit solid ground, in a garden full of flowers, he looked around. The sea lay to his left, the salt hair whipping his hair back. He picked himself up heading to where two stone buildings lay, and voices came to his ears, that of a young man, and women. “Garden was your Idea.” Silence followed. Tidus peaked around the stone pillar, to she a man, dressed in a black bomber jacket, and leather pants, talking to a women dressed in a grey dress, her black hair reaching her waist. It flapped in the wind. “You…don’t belong here…return to where you can from.” His eyes widened as the young man faded, with an alarmed look on his face. He ducked back around the pillar, when the women turned. “Thought I heard something…hmm.” Tidus did a sigh of relief and turned back to the field of flowers, and jumped out of his skin, as he was a women standing before him. She wore a revealing long red robe, that reached her feet. She had high dark purple heels on. She wore a gold necklace with different gems in it. She had strange markings on her face and exposed stomach, then he noticed the flowing silver hair and yellow eyes, a long with purple lip stick. “She looks like Yunalesca…but she isn’t. She’s about to die. What should I do?” The women in front of him was bloodied up, and then he noticed the stricking difference, the pair of black wings dragging on the ground, looking broken, blood also staining them. Then she said something that was all to firmilar to him, her voice rasped, yet he felt at one time it was once beautiful. “I…can’t die…yet.” She held out her hand to Tidus “Help…me.” Tidus ran to the dying women, leaning her against his left shoulder pulling her with him, she looked at him then with a happy smile on her face then as Tidus shouted. “SOMEONE HELP…SOMEONES HURT.” There was a slam, and the women in black came running out the door, almost past them but stopped, then turned to the garden, eyes wide, she rushed over. “Hold on…what’s your name?” Tidus looked up at the alarmed women. “Tidus…m-mad…hey, you hold in there lady.” He looked down at the silver haired women, who was slumping against him, her breath getting weaker and weaker, and then Tidus felt tears welling up inside of him, just like all those other times, he had lost a family member or a loved one, and soon they fell. “Even though…he doesn’t know this person, he goes out of his way to help.” Edea though as she helped. “Please…don’t let her powers be past on to him…he doesn’t deserve that burden. I know first hand how that feels. So caring he doesn’t need that fate. It would be a first though.” Edea watched on, as she opened the door and helped the boy put the sorceress onto the bed. “Can you do anything for her?” Edea looked with pity in her eyes, and shook her head. Even if she could help, she knew things had to be like this for a sorceress to find peace in death. “No…I am sorry.” His tears fell anew, this time onto the women’s stomach, and she looked up, her amber eyes widened a bit. “Why…why would you cry for me?” “I must choose a successor…the women, she is already a sorceress…that leaves the boy, yet I have no choice. My eyes are open for the first time in…ages.” Ultimecia thought to herself, as she felt the end drawing near. “You remind me of my mum.” Ultimecia’s eyes widened a bit. She lifted her right hand to place it on the boys Sholder, and for a split second, he saw all his mind, and memories, and Tidus’s mother, in the same position she was in now. “……..” “Never…had a…child.” Then she faded into blue light, Tidus’s eyes widening, Edea waiting for what would happen, and then her hear came true. Ultimecia past her powers onto the very first male, Tidus. “WHa…” The bright blue light, eveloped him, then was absorbed into his body, then he fell to the bed, his head spinning, his eyes changing colour only for a split second, but Edea noticed it, sighing a heavy sigh she, went to comfort him, but as she came closer, he faded just like the other one that had come earlier. “So…he is left now with such a burden. I hope I see that one again.” She turned at the sound of kids shouting. “Hey…Squall, give it back...” “No fair.” Edea just smiled to herself then, and carried on with her day, hiding the events that had happened to the back of her mind, except one, the idea of garden, she would have to speak to her husband about it, when he got in.
Tidus felt the world melt away from under him again, just like before, through that shifting tunnel of voices and images, then he shielded his eyes from the light. “Hey kid…you ok?” He could hear the sound of waves hitting the shore, seagulls above. “Hmm…where am…I?” Tidus opened his eyes to find he was on a conreate peire, he found the owner of the voice standing over him, a fishing rod in hand. “Balamb of course…you one of them garden Students?” Tidus head spun again before he past out again, the voice of the fisherman calling out in the distance. “Hey…we need help over here.” Well that’s the first chapter for you. What do you think? All comments are welcome. I didn’t plan on making Ultimecia OOC but I fitted better. |
