Disclaimer: I own nothing

I was surrounded by white light that stretched as far as I would see. Getting up from the ground I turned in a full circle only to see it was as if I had been encased in a cube of white bound by invisible walls. I couldn't even perceive the very ground I was standing on though I could feel a smooth, hard and unblemished surface that was cold against my bear fee, similar to marble.

That and the silence the silence was maddening, my heartbeat bounced off of invisible walls echoing into my ears sounding similar to the fluttering of a bird's wings.

I'm not sure how long I remained in that state, I felt as though I was not living, only waiting. It was only as the complete brightness that surrounded me became diluted by a slight tinge of gold that I turned, once again rising from my knees to see a sight too many could only imagine distantly.

"Minerva?" I whispered a statement rather than a question.

Don't ask me if it was the impractical amount of gold hair tumbling in ringlets from her head, the way she held herself like a seductress yet radiated an air of raw and intense power, the way she had the eyes of a mother, kind and gentle, or the way her slight frown curved into a perfect bow curve smile, one that I could only label as mischievous.

"Indeed." I would say that she spoke, but she did not it was as though she transmitted her words directly into my mind where the words bounced off of the walls of my consciousness. I felt nauseous from that one word but either the fact escaped her or she didn't care as she continued mercilessly.

"You child must fulfil a need of mine." I scowled through my pain at her monotonous voice and the emptiness that echoes behind the words. "I wish for you to save the child of Gaia."

"Gaia?" I echoed, the image of a fictional half-Cetra girl flowing easily to my mind. Suddenly the white landscape morphed into a grassy field, filled with the same flowers the girl was so fond of.

"You should stop thinking like that." The Goddess chided, an emotion filing her voice, no enough for me to ignore the cold undertone but enough for me to hear her slight, if sinister, amusement.

From the edges of the newly created scene I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I did not hide my surprise as I turned abruptly to see a girl dressed in pink with braided brown hair tending to the flowers. I saw her mouth move as though she where whispering to them but I was too far out of earshot to pick up the slightest whisper

"Impossible." I breathed.

"Oh no, quite the opposite." Minerva smiled. "Now will you dispel the illusions shrouding your mind and accept the new realities that surround you?"

I nodded dumbly not able to do anything other than stand shell shocked my mind going a hundred miles an hour but feeling like it was at crawl speed. Time, was so... different.

"You must protect the child of Gaia, for it is she that will prove the catalyst to prevent the end."

"I, what-" I spluttered.

"Speak, I command it." Minerva seemed to all but yell, the intensity of her voice sending me to my knees and gripping the sides of my head.

The grass was comforting, the soft herb brushed reassuringly against my bare skin. I looked up only slightly to see a yellow flower tipped with white. Though it's sent was not particularly strong the gently odour of flowers calmed my overflowing emotions.

In the corner of my eye I saw the pink clad girl stare at me for only a second, a smile may have been drawn across her features but the glance was too quick to tell. I looked further up to see the gold glow of the Goddess as she looked down on me. Irritation clearly painted out on too perfect features.

"Why?" I all but chocked out, I gasped for air as though I near drowned in the mere presence of the Goddess's impatience.

"Because only you will prevail. Gaia's pathetic attempts to re-write time will not prevent the Armageddon."

"I have no choice?" I whispered carefully articulating the words. Not knowing why the words slipped my mouth when I was sure of the Goddess's response.

"Fates motions where set into play long ago child. The time for choice has long since fled. Go now. Beware of the red eyed witch."

"I-"

"GO NOW!"

A/N: Yes this is the Angry Violinist. I wrote it initially ran into a giant hole and after planning out a little I'm getting this story up and running. I don't have a BETA and spell check only goes so far so if anyone is interested please PM me. It's that little button, right up, yeah, that's the one. But in the meantime if you want to scream where I used 'your' instead of 'you're' go ahead.
