She reached out her hand which held a beautiful gold bracelet adorned with different shapes and colors of gems. The jewelry shimmered as the lights from the ceiling hit it.
Sorceress Edea's back was to her. Edea had not moved in the seat. It was as if she were a mannequin. Rinoa slowly stepped closer to Edea. Her heart was thumping so loudly that she could hear it in her ears.
A great force threw Rinoa across the room. She'd nearly blacked out. She fought to catch her breath. The arm that held the bracelet slowly rose into the air and not on Rinoa's accord.
Then her body rose into the air and she hung there limply. Edea rose slowly from her chair. She turned to face Rinoa. Her petite face and body began to shift. Her body grew in size and shape.
Blood red hair spilled from her head and bright red eyes stared at Rinoa. It was Sorceress Adel who now towered over Rinoa. Rinoa was frozen with fear. Adel's massive clawed hand lashed out at Rinoa. Rinoa brought her hands, bracing for the attack.
The attack never came.
She looked around to find Sorceress Adel nowhere in sight. But a powerful energy pressed itself around her neck. She gasped desperately for air. Sorceress Ultimecia hovered above Rinoa. Her raven black wings were at their fullest span.
Rinoa felt herself blacking out but then she was released from the magical hold. Sorceress Ultimecia began to take on a new shape.
A woman Rinoa had never seen looked down at her. Her hair was as black as midnight. Her eyes were like two black holes; void of feeling and life. Blackened veins crept over her pale skin. Her gown was a deep blue and form-fitting.
Four black leathery wings protruded from her back. Rinoa stared at this new sorceress. She had seemed vaguely familiar. Fire erupted around Rinoa and the new sorceress. As she looked around she saw towns in flames: Deling City, Dollet, Timber and more.
She could hear the cries of the townspeople overlapping each other. Rinoa covered her ears to no avail. The cries still pierced her ears. She saw an image of Zone and Watts on fire. They were staring directly at her. "Rinoa, stop it! I thought we were friends!"
The image was replaced by the faces of Zell, Quistis, Selphie, and Irvine. They were dead. She saw Squall coming toward her.
She held out her arms to embrace him as a sword materialized in his hand. He ran his gun-blade through her heart.
