Facing Away
I own nothing but my own Ideas
As important as fighting in the battle was, Krille found she could not look at the fiends. It wasn't that she was arrogant, or scared killing them, or even looking out for more fiends, as Fairs had once suggested. Those were all valid reasons, and more importantly, SANE reasons, and any one of them would have sounded better then the one she did give them.
They were being watched.
Not by Grandpa, or any of the past generation. Nor was it the evil tree.
They were being watched by the giant face in the sky.
She felt it watching them constantly, whether they be flying the airship, buying weapons, or having a conversation in the middle of the night. She could only really see it in battle. So she stood there and wondered, until she attacked. At first she had only seen the eyes.
"What would anyone classify the eyes as? They don't have wings like fiends do." She had thought the first time.
As time went on, she had seen a nose, or a mouth, but nothing beyond facial features had shown, The worst part was that she had been the only one able to see it Whenever she tried to show anyone else, they had complained she was distracting them.
She had held staring contests with the eyes, glared, threatened, and sworn at the mouth, and done everything she could think of to drive away the face. But nothing seemed to work.
Sometimes the mouth spoke. She couldn't hear it, but she could usually manage to read its lips. It was unusually interested in their equipment and battles. It mumbled to Faris to heal when they were low, the type of scroll Fairs should use, and about the kind of armour Les was wearing, but never replied to her cursing.
"Why do you care?" She often asked, but it never replied.
"When did I first start seeing it?" She wondered sometimes.
She would have ignored it by now if she had grown up with it, so that theory was out. It might have been watching Grandpa, but she couldn't remember much around the time of her headache. It watched them as they went on their quest to save the worlds. Was it watching them because they were the warriors of light? Could it even be the crystals?
The next time she say the face, she smiled at it. Whatever it was, it wanted them safe. Face was a guardian of sorts.
She could swear she saw the corners of Faces mouth twitch.
I wondered why the kids of Final fantasy would always face the screen and not the battle. I always thought this was a funny explanation, imagining Krille looking at the player in battle and yelling "Go away face! Stop stalking us!"
Reviews would be awesome!
