The Diaries of Final Fantasy III: Ingus
*Note: Final Fantasy does NOT belong to me. (Lilibel and Durma, however DO belong to me). The story HAS been adapted to make it more romantic!
Hi my name is Ingus. I am fifteen, I have light blue eyes, pale skin, and light blond hair. I am a knight for King Sasune's castle.
My job is to protect the castle. But today I am so tired.
"Ingus. What are you doing slacking on the job?" Sir Desina asked. He is the head soldier on the watch.
"I am sorry, I just did not get a good nights sleep." I replied with a yawn. My nightmares kept me up.
"Well not watching the Main Gates is no excuse." he snapped.
"I am sorry." I said crossly. He always was an ass. I have never knew a day where he was not.
I watched the Main Gates for a few hours. Those hours seemed to drag on for eternity.
"Lilibel. Oh how I wish you were here." I whispered sadly. Lilibel was my faerie friend. She had to leave to protect some place called "The Living Woods." I have been lonely without her.
"Ok, my guards, your shift is over." Sir Desina's voice called.
I looked at the sky as I sighed with relief. It was turning a delicate shade of pink.
I went down the stairs and into the castle. I followed the long line of guards, soldiers, knights, and red mages. We went into the castle dining room. The dark wood walls reflected the dancing candlelight.
I grabbed a turkey leg and a glass of wine. I know, not the best dinner. I sat near the end of the long table, hoping a certain person would not see me.
"Ingus, what are you doing over there?" Princess Sara asked.
Great. I thought. She saw me.
"Sit over here next to me." she begged, pointing to an open chair.
"I am coming." I mumbled.
I sat next to her. She looked at me, her big blue eyes full of love and affection. Her face shone in the moonlight, that was pouring in through an open window.
We talked and laughed as any good royal squad would.
After dinner I went up to the tower where my room is. I have my own personal room. Most of the soldiers are mad because the do not get their own rooms. I lay in bed trying to sleep, wondering what horrors await me tonight.
Cold thick tendrils of icy darkness snaked their way towards me. I stood there frozen in shock. They wrapped around me, choking me of breath. Suddenly I heard screaming, and was awoken by myself screaming. Princess Sara came into my room.
"What is wrong?" she asked, concerned. "I heard you screaming."
"I had a bad dream." I told her. I told her about the dream.
"We must see my father about this. I fear that the Djinn is rising. It sounds like him." she said, importantly.
We walked to the throne. Sara tapped a candelabra and the wall sprang back, revealing a secret passage way.
