The Sarle Chronicles

Part I

"The commencement"

Garnet has a son with Zidaine (don't ask me how) and names him Sarle. This story takes place when Sarle is 16 years old. Garnet and Sarle meet up in front of the painting of Bhrane.

Garnet: You've grown up to be such a fine young man soon you will be an awesome king.

Sarle: Why not now?

***Garnet sees an evil look in Sarle's eyes***

Garnet: Why son?

Sarle: Like you always taught me mother, power is everything... Goodbye mother.

Sarle: Trance!

***Garnet falls weak to the ground. 8 bubbles come out of her and Sarle eats them***

Sarle: The power of the eidolons. Mmmm... And you have taken out any possible resistance for me, thank you mother.

Part II of the Sarle Chronicles
''The Deception''

2 hours after Sarle killed his mother...

Steiner: Sarle, have you seen Garnet?

Sarle: No, I haven't seen her today.

Steiner: Oh, okay...

***Three hours later***

***Steiner comes running to Sarle***

Steiner: My liege, something terrible has happened!

Sarle: Why Steiner, why are you in such a hurry? I couldn't be that bad.

Steiner: Your mother...She is dead.

Sarle: Dammit! I knew I shouldn't have let him loose!

Steiner: What? Who?

Sarle: I released Zidane from his cell for some air... He looked so helpless... Then later I saw him running out the castle gates... Dammit!

Steiner: I vow my revenge upon Zidane! If I have to use up all the energy in my body I will kill that ruthless bastard! I will send out the men to look for him!

Sarle: No! It is Alexandria's time for grief. Please arrange her funeral. I want it to be tomorrow at sunset. And please leave me now

Steiner: It shall be done...


Part III of the Sarle Chronicles
''The Funeral''

At sunset near the end of the funeral...

Priest: Now everyone may have their last words with the queen.

***Thousands upon thousands of people visit garnet. Sarle is the last to come up***

Sarle: *whisper* Mother, you were always foolish and naive. Now your lover is your worst enemy. The ransom on Zidane's head will be high. Oh, if they find out my plans, no justice will ever satisfy them. They will do unimaginable things to me. But to be safe, I leave you with the only possible evidence that I killed you. *whisper*

***Sarle places a small, worn, violet pouch beside his mother. In the process, he notices a small weapon hidden under his mother's head***

Sarle: *whisper* What's a dagger doing under here? It might be valuable... *whisper*

***Sarle takes the dagger and places it in his pocket. He walks away from the grave and towards the priest***

Sarle: *mumble* Good ridance... *mumble*

Sarle: Excuse me, but can you do me a favor father?

Priest: Pardon me. What did you call me?

Sarle: Father, you know a priest?

Priest: Oh, yes! Excuse me, what did you want?

Sarle: Please sell this and give the gil to the needy.

Priest: Are you sure? That will fetch hardly any gil, you shouldn't sell it.

Sarle: I have the finest swords in all the realms, I don't need this measly dagger.

***The priest quickly grabs Sarle's hand***

Priest: (very seriously) Don't sell that dagger!

Sarle: I could have you arrested, killed and then the same for your family for assaulting the king. But since this is the first day of my reign, I will be lenient. (glancing at the priest's wrist) I see you have a thief's bracelet, give it to me and I will forget that this happened.

***Priest removes his bracelet and hands it to Sarle***

Priest: Here you are...my liege.

***Sarle joins up with Steiner and they walk to the Castle***
