Well I say the following…. The main characters of FFIX do not belong to me, but any new addition to the crew is my own creation so please, no stealing my story or its characters…


Our story begins shortly after the return of Zidane, when he and Garnet, after 2 years of a happy wedding had a beautiful baby daughter…

Fearing for theirs daughter's safety, even though the whole continent was in peace, they decided to plan a fake story, in order that nobody knew of her existence, except the Great 8 heroes, along with Beatrix, Fratley and Doctor Tot. Along with all of those, Mikoto knew as well of her existence, due to the fact that she was left under her care at the Black Mage Village.

As the years passed, Zidane assured that Mikoto would train her well because, even though she was a princess, the little girl by the name of Safire would have to have great independent spirit like Garnet obtained during her travels with Zidane.

As the years passed, little Safire grew into a beautiful young lady, at which she still did not knew of her heritage…

All she had to remember about her family was a pendant… her mother's royal pendant.

Safire, now at the age of 15, had long blond hair and a tail like her father and olive brown eyes like her mother. Her body looked just like Garnet's, although she had face traces from he father, like his smirk.


One morning, Safire got up from bed and was about to consult her dark magic trainer, Lord Vivi, when on her way to his cabin she bumped into a tall man and fell to the ground.

The man helped her up and said:

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be in the way" he said, admiring the girls figure.

"It's ok…" Safire said, admiring the man beside her. "I was a bit distracted too." He was tall, with brown fur covering him that looked course in the sunlight, and bright green eyes.

A thin, rough looking appendage twitched in agitation behind him and Safire was surprised to see that he had a tail. But not like hers; he looked like a giant mouse.

"He must be from the Mist Continent. A Burmecian I think."

"You're not from around here I suppose?" She asked curiosity filled her mind.

"Indeed I'm not. I'm from Burmecia."

"I'm Safire… what's your name?" she asked, blushing a bit

"I'm Puck." He answered, bending on one knee and kissing her hand "Glad to meet you Safire"

Safire's mind filled with confusion… where had she heard that name before?

Suddenly Vivi came up to the two.

"Good Morning, Master Vivi. You sleep well?"

Vivi, who was now a bit older than before, had developed a formula to increase the life time of the Mages. He was taller two. Same height has the other mages.

"Ahh Safire… Yes I did. I hope you did also."

"Yes I did, it was a peaceful slumber."

He directed his attention to Puck, but still talking to Safire.

"I'm glad you did. And who might you be?"

Puck smirked at Vivi and said:

"Don't tell me you forgotten me, slave."

"…P-Pu-Puck?!" Vivi said shocked, examining his face better. "Yes... indeed it is you! How have you been?" Vivi said patting him on the back.

"Fine I guess… I'm here on a bit of a urgent business… From Alexandria."

He handed Vivi a sealed letter with the royal seal from the house of Alexandros Tribal. Vivi opened it in a rush and read it. His eyes shifted towards Safire, who was trying to figure out what was going on.

Puck then realized who she was and bended on one knee and said:

"You're Majesty."

Safire was a bit shocked at his behavior… but still was trying to figure out was the hell was he talking about. Vivi signaled the two to follow him into his hut, where they would have more privacy.

Inside the cabin, Vivi sat on his chair and started to explain the situation carefully to Safire…

……………

"And that's why they're coming to get you sooner than expected; Puck is here to test your abilities first though."

Safire understood now why she never felt at home there, even with all the genomes, she still felt out of place.

"Well… let's get this over with shall we?"

Puck smirked at the girl, she was naïve, or so he though.


Later that same day, in the woods near the village, Vivi and Mikoto watched as Safire was about to start a duel with Puck, who was a Master Dragoon knight and swordsman. Vivi lowered an hand as a sign to start the battle.

Puck charged to the girl in order to attack her, but she jumped over him and used a Fira Spell on him.

"Fira!"

Puck was sent flying away from her when a giant ball of fire pushed him. He got up to see her smirking like her father. He held up his spear and used a dragon spell.

"Rei's Wind!"

He casted regen on himself and charged at Safire once more, hitting her on the shoulder. She flinched at the cut and covered it with her hand, a bright light emanating from it and the wound disappearing almost instantly.

"What the?! White and Black Magic?" he asked

"Yes… and another little trick also."

She remembered when she had found that strange weapon on her trip to Madain Sari, a jewel incrusted dagger, which was embedded with the power of almost every eidolon the heroes knew, and some more that where never recorded on the Eidolon Wall.

"Quetzalcoatl!"

She said has she wiped the dagger from her holster and a giant spell of light it Puck, who was sent flying to a tree and said:

"That's enough, you've proven yourself strong." Puck said.

Safire smirked and came near him, using a Curaga spell to heal him. He looked at her and caught her eyes, staring into her deep olive brown and her into is green ones.

Then she cut eye contact and blushed slightly, getting up and rushing to the village, leaving the others behind.

"Safire, WAIT!" Puck said, but she just went faster, trying to redeem the confusion that troubled her mind.
