A Tale of Love and Crystals (Working title)
Sadly, I own none of this. CBS owns Criminal Minds, and Square Einx Final Fantasy XIII. If I owned the former, Reid and Maeve would so be together. If I owned the latter, then it would be on a Nintendo console.
I have edited the plot of Final Fantasy XIII a tad bit, as adapting it to the modern world, and also I wanted to do stuff. :D So Sorry.
I will admit, I am not happy with this prologue, but the rest of the story is alright, so hopefully, I can make this prologue better, and also have some reviews (Please?)
Prologue- The Legend of the L'cie.
"Hey! Wait up!" Diana Reid smiled, "Tristan, wait for me! However, Tristan carried on into the cavern, and Samuel followed him. Inside the cave was a fal'cie."
"What's a fal'cie?" The 11 year old Spencer Reid inquired.
"The fal'cie are a race of supernatural creatures that are responsible for creating and maintaining Earth." Diana Reid explained quickly, "However, they cannot control what happens on Earth directly, so they require servants- or the L'cie."
"I guess that this fal'cie wanted Tristan and Samuel as their slaves?" Spencer asked.
"Yes. To become a L'Cie, you have to be branded by a Fal'cie." Diana replied quickly, "So, our fal'cie branded both Tristan and Samuel and gave them their focus…"
"What's a focus?" Spencer looked confused.
"A focus..." Diana began, "Is the task that the fal'cie gives their L'Cie to do in their stead. Tristan and Samuel's focus was to protect the immortal creature."
"Did they complete their mission?" Spencer asked.
"Tristan left the cave, and ran away from his focus. He joined the army for a couple of years, but eventually, he was punished for failing his focus by being turned into a Cei'th…" Diana continued the story.
"What's a Cei'th? And what about Samuel?" Spencer asked.
"A Cei'th is a gigantic crystallised monster." Diana replied, "Samuel, however, stayed in the cave and protected his master from being discovered by the outside, was rewarded for completing his focus by being frozen as a crystal, gaining eternal life, until his master required him many, many years later." Diana paused, waiting happily for her son to contradict the story.
"That's impossible! You cannot turn a human being into a crystallised creature, or freeze them in a crystal. It's impossible!" Spencer scoffed.
"I know. It is just a story." Diana sighed, "The L'cie are like vampires- they are supernatural creatures that don't exist."
"Also, isn't the fate of the L'cie, whether they succeed or not, terrible either way? What is the benefit of becoming L'cie?" Spencer asked.
"I don't know, Spencer. I don't know. This is the only story about them in existence. We don't know much about the L'cie or the Fal'cie." Diana replied, hugging her son.
