Chapter 1: The Crystal Bearer
Hello! My name is Chris and this is my first fan fiction so please be nice. I'm going to try to make this story as interesting as possible (:
Please let me know if I get any details of the games wrong.
I do not own any of the Final Fantasy games or anything else but my OC's.
The wind blew softly, swaying the tall green grass of the Lett highlands. Clavat farmers roamed around, following their herds of sheep. A seventeen-year-old Clavat girl sat under one of the tall trees of the area. A dark, black cape hung around her neck and shoulders, held together by a gold ring. The girl slept peacefully on the hot afternoon, with lips slightly parted and her long brown bangs across her eyes. The Back of her hair barely reached farther than the bottom of her ears, giving her an unrecognizable look when it came to hiding. Though when it came to finding, there were two people that always could.
"Kallyn!" a Selkie girl, about the Clavat teen's age, ran towards the tree. Sadly, the shuffles and noise woke the girl from her nap. Shaking her head, Kallyn looked up to her childhood friend's face. Two big brown eyes looked down at her, as her brown hair was let down on her shoulders. "There you are. We've been looking everywhere for you. You should've let us know when you left the Vineyard."
"Sorry, Faris," the Clavat girl rubbed her right eye, which opened to show light gray irises.
"No need to apologize, but you should've at least let us know," The blonde Clavat boy said as he walked towards the two teen girls.
"Okay, Layle. I'll keep that in mind," Kallyn commented with her normal passive tone. She wondered again why Layle even hung out with her in the first place. Probably because she was the only other Crystal Bearer around, this put her in a much similar situation to the Clavat boy's.
As Kallyn finally got up from her cozy spot under the shady tree, Lyle started walking towards the Old Lett Aqueduct, "We better get going. If you don't hurry we'll miss the last train."
Kallyn gave him a slight nod and started walking behind him followed by Faris. Distracted from their path, they followed the wrong direction towards the Eastern Wildlands. The sandy rock underfoot and hot, dry air made Kallyn question her friend's sense of orientation. As they passed through the desert-like plains and through the big metallic gate, they finally made it to Bridge Town; even though it wasn't their original destination.
Since they had already lost the train, they decided to walk around while they waited for the next one. There were a few Selkies and Clavats walking around the town's passages and staircases. Faris and Kallyn broke off from Layle and decided to take a look around the town. Having being raised as a Selkie, Kallyn knew a lot about pickpocketing from her Nana, like she used to call her.
They walked toward Cid's workshop, stealing some gil on the way there, an opened the gate towards the magnificent room. Cid was nowhere to be found around the room, so Kallyn walked around and looked at all the different things around the room.
There where shelves filled to the brim with books and maps, as well as some loose papers that didn't seem to be in a specific order. Machinery never seen before lay around the wooden floor, just waiting to be started, and different colored rocks sat on Cid's desk. Kallyn decided to take a closer look at the rocks, leaning in to check out the different colors.
One of the rocks caught the attention of the teen. It was a dark, green like color much like a crystal icon. But this wasn't a crystal icon; that was for sure. It was something similar, but a different power was radiated through it.
Kallyn picked up the green crystal and held it close to her face. She searched the surface and the light that shone through it. Faris saw this and walked up behind her.
"What is that?" the Selkie's curious tone mumbled from behind Kallyn. "It looks like a crystal icon."
"Mhm, but it's not," Kallyn turned it in her fingers. She saw a faint glow around the gem. Pulling it away, the glow grew brighter, blinding both Faris and Kallyn's eyes.
A dark blue void opened through the wall, lighting and fog flew around it. Kallyn felt herself being pulled towards the void with a great force. In the midst of panic, she held on to the first thing in sight; Faris. The void was too strong and pulled both of the girls inside, and then disappeared completely.
As Layle finally caught up to them, he looked around the empty workshop. There was no trace left of them now.
Hope you liked.
Reviews are love.
I will get working on the second chapter immediately, this time it is set on another one of the games, with a different character.
