Meeting with Everybody
The Shiny Armour-Clad Holier-Than-Thou Self-Proclaimed Warrior of the Light
Squall's POV
I know there are all sorts of people in the world. Well, in my former world, wherever that might be situated right now.
I've met strange people. I have faint memories of incredibly peculiar individuals. One had an uncanny physical resemblance with this Tifa character.
But of all people I might or might not have met in the past, these must be the strangest yet. These warriors are nearly fearless. Aren't they wondering what the hell they're doing here? Instead, they act like ignorant blokes and do exactly what the suspicious goddess told them to do: find the crystals. These crystals can apparently extinguish all darkness, unveil the path to justice and raise us to glory. Can I have a coffee with that? A destiny-flavoured one, with a hint of courage.
I don't exactly blame them for doing that, though. We have nothing to do but to search for these damned crystals, anyway. It would just be nice if they pretended to actually consider before agreeing. I mean, why should we be saving a world from destruction when this world isn't even ours? Maybe that Cosmos woman is actually the one who wiped our memories clean.
Maybe I'm being a bit too conspiring. I truly believe Cosmos is fighting for a just cause. And if she called on us when she's a supposed goddess, than she must be in trouble. But going back to the subject of these 'comrades' I've met, I'm not exaggerating when I call them, well, nuts.
This Warrior of the Light person, for example, is beyond that. He's literally insane. And I call 'em like I see 'em.
We first met when I was calmly (and stealthily, because I'm no Bartz and Zidane, though I'll get to their case later on) searching for my crystal after considering all possibilities and realizing I really had no choice. This Warrior of the Light (he seriously goes by that name) came up to me and asked why I was traveling alone. He began this whole spiel about how I simply can't travel alone because nobody really can, and because he probably thought I was an incompetent fool because I wasn't sporting shiny golden armour worth gazillions of gil. He challenged me to a fight so I could prove my worth or something.
First of all, his fighting technique was insane. He hurled his shield at me as a decoy and then used a two-handed sword with one hand to jab and slash! When I emerged victorious from the squabble, I had apparently proved my worth as a lone traveler, but should still find somebody to accompany me. That, and he told me to remember that Cosmos's light was always with us. Whatever.
Who was accompanying him during this whole time, you might ask?
Nobody. He was alone, and still claimed me unfit to travel alone without even knowing me.
It was the lack of armour on me, I'm telling you.
Author's Note
Hope you enjoyed :) I don't actually know if WOL uses a two-handed sword, but it looks like it. I'll be doing these in chronological order, like WOL, Firion, Luneth, etc. Please review and leave your suggestions!
