GF Chronicles- Shiva
In a world where humans have yet to exist, there was a sentient species that
didn't waste away, die, or dissapear.They had their own names for themselves,
and didn't have a race name. Later, they would become known as Guardian
forces. They all had their own ways of getting power, and origens. Quazacotl
and lighting. Ifrit and fire. Shiva and ice. Some, were born who didn't have
fighting power, but the power to help others with magic, such as Cereberous.
This isn't a story of one of non-fighters, but the story of what would become
known as an elemental Guardian force. One known to her kind as Shiva,
the ice.
In the upper regions of Trabia, it was considered impossible in this time to
survive in the cold snow and ice. One clan had sent an expedittion there, to
try and find any sentient creature. They didn't return. Unknown to all of
them, a child had gone with them, and unlike the others, she hadn't died.
She didn't have a name yet, as it was customary of her clan for the name to
find the child, in the form of a komer. When the name came, it came as
something that would attempt to kill them. She set out into the cold, and
their shuttle had crashed, and attempted to live.
You can only seem to see a few feet infront of your eyes, and it was cold.
Deathly cold. If someone had been around to look, they would have noticed a
small female walking. Her skin had a blue tinge, as was her hair, and was
wearing cloaks. *I need to find shelter! I will not be able to survive this freeze. I
t was a bad idea, to allow myself to do this. Hah!this is the adventure I wanted.
Now, I need to live.* She looked around, and nearly walked into stone. *A
cave?* It was indeed a cave. She had entered, and was trying to ride out the
storm.*The best thng to do, would be to wait until this storm has passed, then
attempt to find a way to survive. My chancesof getting to the clan are near
impossible, so I shall wait......What? That's strange, I had thought the wind
sounded a bit different then that. This sounds closer as well.*
The girl looked behind her, and screamed as she saw a creature of ice and
snow scuttling closer, with a low groaning sound.
*What is that thing?!? How am I going to beat it?!? The only things I know of
are how to draw from creatures, and attack them physically!* It never once
crossed the girls mind to run, as she knew if she left the protection of the
wallsagainst the winds, she would die.
The monster roared, and 4 ice shards headed her way. The girl dodged best
she could, but was still hit by one. Lookingat the monster, she sought our
her draw, and pulled desperatly at whatever it was she could get. She was
unprepared as she felt a coldness run through her body, and felt cold chill of
ice against her skin. Then, she saw only darkness.Then, she heard a voice. It
had no emotion, no sound, no life.
*"Who?"*
*I have yet to gain a name.*
*"Why come here?"*
* I came looking for adventure, but now, I look to survive.*
*"And what do you do once you survive?"*
The girl didnt know what to say. All she had thought of doing was surviving.
Not doing anything afterwards. Shesupposed, she wanted to protect.
*Protect*
*"Protect What?"*
*Life*
After saying that, she felt the cold become comforting.She awoke to find the
cave, but the monster gone.
*That was a komer! Strange, I feel cold, but....it's as if the cold regenerates my
strength. Maybe I have been given my power? But, what is my name?
Shiva. It is Shiva* The girl didn't know where it had come from, but she now
knew her name, and power.
The girl started a trek south, to find her clan, and along the way, her power
with the cold grew to focuse on ice, and she grew powerful indeed. In that
battle with the komer, the clothes she had been wearing under her cloak had
molded into her skin. When she reached the area around the inlet her clan
was at, she stopped, and stared. She was now a mature female, and hadn't seen
her homeland since she was a child.
She had grown accustomed with the beauty of ice and snow. Seeing grass, and
warmth, didn't feel right anymore. Coming to a decision, she turned back,
began to wander the south-western mountains of Trabia, helping her clan
when it needed it. To the clans eyes, she was a most powerful one. In her own
eyes, she was not even of the clan anymore. She was a rogue.
Authors notes:
This is only the first half of Shivas tale, I plan on having another half where it
is during human times, and guardian forces are discovered, as well as her
thoughts on the Ultimacia, and being used to battle her. Keep in mind, this
is my first FF8 fic. Please review!
