Kuja, Zidane and the Crystal of Life
an original myth by Heather Mattingly
There once existed a city called Terra. This city was ruled by a tyrant named Garland.
Now he had many children all of whom he hated. But he especially hated the one called Kuja.
He hated him so badly that he wished for his death. He sent this son out into the world in
order to rid him from his sight. Garland hoped that some big bad monster thing would come
and eat him up. But unfortunately for garland Kuja had found favor in the eyes of the lovely
goddess Artemis. She protected him by asking the goddess of terrible beasts to not only forbid
her animals to touch him but order them to protect him from other dangers. Now Kuja was a fine
young man who was adored by many women. Well I don't blame them. He was a hottie (or as a friend
of mine would say, real hottle. That was typo on her part and I still haven't let her forget it.). Now Kuja also had a brother named Zidane. They met one day and became the best of friends. They together decided to rid their homeland of the evil Garland. They went before him and demanded he give up the throne or else they would go to the gods with this problem. Garland agreed but only if they would perform for him 3 tasks. First task, to go a temple called Oeilvert and bring him the Gulug Stone which lay protected there by monsters called Epitaphs. Their second task was to go to the Iifa tree and bring back stone blessed by the sea god Neptune and his sea dragon Leviathan. These two tasks were completed with ease. But their third task was harder. They had to go a place called Memoria. The place of memories and bring him the crystal of life. This task could not be done, so said Artemis to her beloved. For if the crystal was removed from it's sacred temple than everything would be destroyed. So instead she had a large beast called Necron go destroy the evil Garland. Kuja and his brother were then named
the guardians of the crystal of life. And because of them people still have their memories
and are able to live in peace although Necron left not evn a trace of Memoria.
THE END
