Zidane tossed and turned in bed. He was having
a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from.
Dozens of small children who looked a mere six
years old were running around, screaming. They were all
being abducted one by one by a tall man. The weird thing
was that all of the children had tails.
There were adults with tails too, but they were all
lying on the ground, motionless. For some reason, Zidane could
tell that they had only been put to sleep, and they were not
dead.
In his dream, Zidane was one of those children. He
watched as the man caught each child and used magic to put them
to sleep, and make them float to a large blue airship in the
sky.
He was terrified, and tried to hide, but the tall man
saw him, and came toward him. Zidane cowered in a corner. The
man got closer...closer..and was now towering over him.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Zidane screamed and sat up quickly
in bed, breathing and sweating heavily. Dagger quickly sat up in bed
after hearing him scream.
She quickly put a hand on his shoulder."ZIDANE! WHAT'S WRONG!?"
She was terrified. She had never heard him scream like that before,
and immediately knew that there was something wrong.
He took a quick glance at her, and then stared forward, still breathing
heavily. "Are you alright!? What's wrong!?"
He started breathing more steadily, and looked into her eyes.
Worry was filling her eyes.
"Nothing," he said, and looked straight in front of him
again. "It was just a dream." He got out of bed, and walked over to their
window. He layed his arms on top of each other and rested them on the
window sill, still breathing a bit uneasily.
Dagger got out of bed and quickly walked over to him. It had only been
a month since he came back from the Lifa Tree, and everything was fine until
now. They even already had their wedding held two weeks before, and except
Zidane being a little uneasy about becoming King, everything had been fine.
She put her hand on his shoulder, and said," What was it about?
You scared me, I thought something terrible happened to you." Zidane just
looked at the ground below them, still a bit shaky.
"Please tell me," she said in a quiet and worried voice.
He paused for a few seconds, and said," There were little kids. Little kids
running everywhere screaming. They had tails like me, and I was one of them."
Dagger listened closely, still worried.
"There were adults with tails too, but they were all on the ground, not
moving. For some reason, I knew that they were only asleep, and not dead."
He was nervous, and was still sweating." And there was this tall man, grabbing
all of the kids one by one. He would use magic to put them to sleep, and send
them floating into his big blue airship. I tried to run, but I caught myself in
a corner, and I didn't have anywhere else to run. He came to get me, but just
before he got a hold of me, I woke up."
He was still nervous. Dagger put an arm around him to comfort him. She
was still worried and didn't know what to say.
He kept staring at the ground." I know it means something. I just can't
put my finger on it. And I know that I've seen that man before, but I can't think
of where."
Dagger thought about everything he said. She couldn't figure it out either.
But she did think that it meant something.
They both quietly thought about it for a few seconds, when they heard a
knock on the door. " Your Highness, is everything alright?" It was Steiner. He heard
Zidane scream, and came hurriedly to investigate.
"Yes Steiner, everything's fine," Dagger said semi-loudly so that Steiner
could hear her through the door. "Are you sure? I heard a scream, and came to see if everything
was alright," Steiner said, still a bit worried. "Yes I'm sure Steiner, It's being
taken care of," Dagger said. Steiner decided that everything was ok, and saluted,
even though they coudn't see him." Then I bid thee a good night." They heard his
armor clank as he walked away.
Dagger looked back at Zidane. He was still a little tense." Are you alright?" she
asked. He paused a moment, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine." He left the window sill and got back into
bed. Dagger followed him.
They got into bed. Zidane was still thinking about his dream, and Dagger was still
worried about him. What was it about? He wanted to know, but didn't have many clues.
" I love you," Dagger said. Zidane turned around and looked at her. " I love you too."
They gave each other a kiss, and fell back to sleep.
