Author Comments: This story is dedicated to Kuro. After reading the story 'Another Calling' posted on Tsuriai-Teen (or Reiko's) account, I was inspired to write this story. This one's for you.
On a side comment, this story will be going through each of the Final Fantasy games (from Chaos' perspective).

. . . I . . .
I . . . do not understand.
Wasn't this meant to be?
Wasn't this my destiny? Everyone's destiny?
Yet . . . all I could think was . . . that as I watched that group of adventurers . . . no, the group of heroes strike down my avatar was . . .
Why?
Why did this happen?
I was created to do this. It was my destiny.
I do not understand why any of this happened.
There never was supposed to be any resistance. I was never meant to be defeated.
I do not understand.
The Planet created me. The Planet gave me my destiny.
So why has it done this?
What has caused it to rebel against its own child?
I was created to release life, so it may continue on.
I was created to send life to my brother, so that he may guide life into the stars.
So why has this happened?
I do not understand.
I do not understand this . . . this sensation . . . this . . . emotion . . .
What is it? I was not meant for such things. It is unnecessary for my destiny.
Am I flawed? Is that why life rebels against me? Am I unfit for my role?
I watch behind my avatar's eyes as he is finally defeated, crumbling into dust, the flow of time restored once more.
If I was not meant to complete my destiny, then why do I exist?
In that last moment, before my avatar's existence was no more, a glimmer of light caught my eye. Hanging from their chests . . . the heroes before me . . .
Light . . .
The Crystals . . .
Memory . . .
Is that why I have been defied? Is that why my destiny was prevented?
Is that why . . .

. . . Planet?
Planet . . . do you hear me?
Can you hear my plead?
Will you listen to your child, Chaos?
Help me . . . for I do not understand . . .
Help me understand . . . for I . . .
I . . . do not understand you . . .
And I do not understand this power that defies me so . . . this power of memories . . . this power of hope . . .
So . . . I ask of you . . . I plead of you . . .
Help me . . .
Help me understand what my destiny is.
