Is He
Alive…
Zidane
awoke in a Madain Sari. The moogles had
recovered his beaten body from the Iifa Tree. They immediately began to pamper
him, slowly nursing him back to health. He had scares from head to toe. The
moogles were afraid he'd die at first. Still all he could think of was Dagger.
All he had for now was memories. If only he could hold her in his arms.
(at the castle)
Dagger
was still crying. Memories only saddened her more. She had faced up to facts.
He was dead. It wouldn't have taken him two months to return. All she could do
was cry at the thought. "What are we going Beatrix. We can't keep this up for
long,"said the worried Steiner. "I know. He'd better show up soon, if he's
alive," replied Beatrix.

Sari)
Zidane
could finally walk around, but not to much. He slept many hours during the day.
One day, a message came in. A moogle had found by luck. Since it had Zidane's
name on it, they gave it to him. After reading the letter, he had to force his
tears back. He was so happy to hear from her, (even if the letter wasn't
finished. So, he requested a pen and a piece of paper and began writing.
Dear My Love,
I
am equally yearning you. I don't know when I'll be back, but I will. Please
wait for me my love. I cannot bear being without. But please, do not cry. Do
not worry. I'll be back.
Love,
Zidane Tribal
He
gave the letter to the moogle and requested it be sent to Alexandria.
(at the castle)
The
moogle flew into Dagger's window and handed her the letter. She began to read
it. Next came a scream of happiness. Steiner and Beatrix ran in to see what was
the matter. Dagger anxiously handed them the letter. Smiles overcame both of
their faces. Then Beatrix murmured," Could this really be him?"
