Long Live The King
Laura: Alright Dags… are you ready, It's you turn to shine!
Dags: ::raises fist to air:: YEAH!
Ziddy: What's this::picks up script::
Dags::pushes Ziddy:: Step aside, Ziddy-kins! It's my turn to have a chapter story in first person!
Laura: ::nods:: that's right this is Dags's side to Cheat The System::turns to reader:: don't worry though you won't have to read both, I promise…. But it might make me happy if you did, and plus, for all you CTS readers, this might be able to hold you over until I can finish chapter 6 of CTS.
Ziddy: but CTS is MY story you just can't give it to Dagger like that!!
Dags: ::pummels Ziddy::

Prologue
My feet picked up my pace from a run to a sprint in a matter of mere seconds. Tears ran hot against my cheeks, but a smile remained resting across my features. I longed to pick up my haste, but alas, I could not. "Zidane!" I called still keeping my pace.
He turned to me with nod, that smug grin across his face, taunting me with every new step I made. He opened his arms, mouthing the word 'dagger' but no sound escaped him. Still the same as I had ever seen him, still the Zidane that I had grown to love.
Wings… lustrous white feathers flowed out from his back glowing a divine hue of gold. I gasped stopping in my tacks… I lied, this was not my Zidane. He stared at me swallowing hard, his turquoise eyes begging me to come forth to him, to hold him, to comfort him. As bad as my heart wanted, I couldn't. My feet refused to move any longer I just continued to stare to him.
His eyes grew wide, staring off in fear to something behind me. I turned seeing great green roots zooming towards us, and passing straight through me. Unharming me… but penetrating Zidane. "Dagger!" he screamed in agony. "Dagger!" he screamed again this time gurgling blood with his voice as it flowed out of his mouth and down his neck. I tried to move but could only stare in horror as he continued to call out to me holding his arms out, his wings tattered…. feathers flying up and around him.
I gasped, jolting up from my bed, feeling my heart pound against my rib cage. I gripped to my chest, attempting to catch my breath as it staggered profusely. It was only a dream Garnet…It was nothing but a dream. I stepped down from my bed and strolled onward to my balcony, carefully stepping over the bodies of Steiner and Beatrix who had fallen asleep on my floor after a long night wrestling me to calm down and sleep. The day prior had been so long. We had defeated Kuja, and we lost Zidane. Today we would catch up on some long awaited work in the castle. Including, sitting down with various lawyers for my mother's will to be read. I was about to renter my stressful life, after being free for so long.
I sighed leaning against the railing of the balcony, "Please come home soon, Zidane."

Dags: Review if you like, review if you don't like, either way, please review and me and Laura will brainstorm for the next chapter. Oh, and Laura apologizes for the short prologue… she promises to try and make longer chapters.
