Lord of the L'Cie

Prologue

The man, heavily wounded from his last battle, dragged himself to his Fal'cie master's home, the Vestige of Anima. The man was tall, over six feet, with long cerulean hair that he had inherited from his father, but his eyes were shimmering amethyst. The foolish man was the first L'Cie that Anima had ever made, which made him powerful. As long as the man obeyed his master, he had free reign. His lord and master, Anima himself, had granted him the power of a L'Cie lord: a rare and powerful type of L'Cie that had no focus, could overpower all but Fal'cie with little trouble, and, should the Fal'cie himself fall and the lord survive, continue to recruit L'Cie. In return, the Fal'cie could, if it felt that he was being disloyal and not furthering their interests, they could skip the brand progression and make the proud L'Cie lords into Undying Cie'th. These Cie'th would then wander in eternal torment until they could move no more and turn to dust. The man had served his Fal'cie Anima loyally, and so could not fathom why his desperate cries for aid in healing himself went ignored. Then, Anima spoke to the man; 'child of mine, I will not heal you. I have a different fate for you…' the lord was confused, unaware of what would happen next. 'I will seal you in crystal, and when you awaken, I will have perished. You are not to try to harm my killers, but rather, to aid them.' The lord was astonished at what the creature he thought not just as a master and guardian, but as a surrogate parent was telling him to do. "My last act in life will be to give my remaining power over to you. Just before that, however, I will make the four humans into L'Cie, awaken Oerba Dia Vanille and Oerba Yun Fang's powers and-" here the L'Cie lord senses a grin "-you will have dominion over their fate. You will be my successor. Now… embrace the crystal slumber, my darling child Venias."
