A Final Fantasy IX fan fiction- Final Fantasy IX- Reflection
Chapter 1: I am a mere stone, without luster.
It was a stormy night when my role in this world changed; I no longer am somebody who people look up to, but rather somebody who is irrelevant. That night, my old life was lost. I found myself hanging by a thread, not really knowing where I will end up.
I grew up, deprived of my rights, never having those privileges that I ought to have, for I have been replaced by someone else. My hands used to be hands of a noble, now I live amongst thieves, finding something to eat; just to live for the day.
How I wish my life never turned out like this, how I wish that incident never happened, I wish I could tell mother; that I still am alive, and that I want my life back…
…but it never happened; I never got a chance to see mother again. I secretly, under the shadows, lurked in her funeral, never noticed, as if I wasn't there. Seeing my mother and that person grieving; how I was disgusted! She was the reason my mother died, her appearance blinded my mother! Without her; my mother would still be that sweet person who cared about everyone!
During that time, how I wanted to get revenge, but I lacked something, I lacked that something she had. She was exploited by my mother because of her ability to summon Eidolons, something that the Til Alexandros Bloodline used to have. I never noticed it, but the same phenomenon saved me from dying. I never was ill during that day; my gift was just manifesting itself. I was the link to Madain Sari and Alexandria's sword, Alexander.
Little knowledge about Eidolons and Summoners though, would hurt my plan. I needed someone with the expertise; which is why I am currently in Treno, talking to a "Doctor Tot" for some insights. Of course I am going to conceal my intent. I'm not a fool to just say it out loud.
I am right now, just a mere stone; I have no luster. It was taken away from me. My luminescence is covered in shadow, I may have the name of a noble, but I am living the life of a plebian, but one day. I will shine, my light will even be brighter than hers.
