"Well said. I will make those words your last, REPLICAA!!!"
I had failed. I was going to fight Van, I was the real Luke! But that's not me anymore, is it?
My last words were "The last is up to you..." I remember the flashback I had when I was dying. I took the bloody sword out of my body, and fell against the wall. The cold blood trinkled down my mouth and onto my clothes, the ones I will never get the chance to wear again.
Natalia... It looks like you're going to have to protect Kimlasca alone. No... with Luke...
It couldn't be done now though. My soul went into Luke's body... but whatever happened after he defeated Van?
The feet were dragging me. Where was I? I tried to move, but the feet kept going on and on. "STOP!" I shouted. It seems like I only heard the plea.
This can't be... I'm in...
XXX Tatoroo Valley XXX
In Tataroo Valley, a brown-haired seventh fonist was singing her heart out, looking out to the place where her lover, her best friend promised to be back.
"Tue rei ze croa riou tue ze"
He wasn't coming back...
"Croa riou ze tue riou rei neu riou ze"
There's a beautiful full moon in the sky, and the small waterfalls were flowing very nicely. The flowers were moving very peacefully, despite the monsters that are right outside this area. It's been 1 year... It's their birthday now...
"Va rei ze tue neu tue riou tue croa"
I lost two friends...
"Riou rei croa riou ze rei va ze rei"
It's hard not to stop the tears.
"Va neu va rei va neu va ze rei"
Luke...
"Croa riou croa neu tue rei croa riou ze rei va"
Asch...
"Rei va neu croa tue rei rei"
My comrades were standing next to me, as Tear put her hand on her chest.
Silence.
It was eery. No one stepped up to say anything. It's my time. "You didn't come." I closed my eyes. "I believe your presence was requested at Luke's coming of age ceremony at the Duke's Manor." Of course, I had gone too. I couldn't bare the sight though, and then Guy told me Tear, Jade, and Anise would be here, waiting for Luke. The seventh fonist's voice came out as a whisper. "I'm not interested in some ceremony... in front of Luke's grave..."
The former fon master guardian spoke up. "That's why... the both of you came here, isn't it?" Her voice was scratchy, it was obvious she had been crying.
"He said he'd be back, so let the others sit around... and tell stories at his grave. But I won't be joining them!" Guy and all of us looked at the opening, where you can see the destroyed Hod, also known as Eldrant. As usual, Jade never showed much emotion. He seemed a bit different as usual.
"We should be heading back soon." He said it so clearly. Could he not wait for our friend anymore? "The valley is dangerous at night." Danger, does that do anything to us? We have went through so much, what danger could there be? Tear got up from the rock she had been sitting on.
No, don't go. Stay a little longer.
We all began to walk away, when Tear stopped and looked back. A gasp was heard, and footsteps coming towards us. I turned around quickly, along with everyone else. The seventh-fonist began to walk up to him in the flower-field. They stopped a few feet away from each other. "Why... are you here?"
"This place has... a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." Tears began to form in Tear's eyes, and they rolled down her cheek. Tears also began to form in my eyes too, and I think I couldn't sworn I saw Jade about to cry. We all walked towards him, as his cape and long hair moved with the breeze and flower pedals, and the moon shined at us.
But who was he?
