A/N: This takes place after everybody leaves Zidane at the Iifa tree to go save Kuja. It's after his attempt, which in my story proved to be futile and a waste of time. He's lonely, tired, and almost insane! No…not really…but he is lonely…
Chapter 1 - Their Song
"I had to go. If I didn't, I would have never forgiven myself," Zidane muttered, once again trying to reassure himself that he had done the right thing to stay behind to try to save Kuja. "I mean, he was like my brother."
It had been nearly two years since the departure. Zidane was finally within a few days walking distance from Lindblum. From there, Zidane was going to fly on an Airship to Alexandria. The sun was sinking quickly and fatigue rushed over Zidane like a wildfire on a dry forest. He was tempted to just lie where he was, in the middle of an open field, and let the monsters come and feed off his flesh…a disturbing death…but if he was asleep it wouldn't matter.
"I must see her again!" Zidane surprised himself with the amount of energy he put into these few words. Her…Garnet…Dagger…Princess…whatever you wanted to call her, she was the soul purpose to Zidane's existence. "Hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm…"
The song. The song with no words. How could something with no words have such a powerful meaning to him? It's because of her, Zidane thought, rising to his feet and dragging himself off to find shelter for the night. Dagger sang it, that's why it has meaning.
Fortunately, a small cave wasn't far from Zidane. He settled himself in a corner and tried to cover himself in his completely threadbare clothes. Shivering violently, Zidane started humming once again. Almost instantly he seemed to calm down. After a minute or so, Zidane could have sworn he was hearing the song from another voice…Dagger!?
Looking around wildly, he found nothing but a white dove flying above him. Zidane began humming his song again. My song, Zidane thought, no, it's our song. Me and Dagger. Dagger…Why did we call her Dagger, again? We should've called her Flower or Diamond or something pretty. Dagger doesn't do her justice…
Staring aimlessly into the night, sleep overcame Zidane just to bring another agonizing day without his beloved.
