The lights were starting to light the sky in a whimsical appearance, but even that event didn't help to ease the mind of the strained sorcerer. Orphen slowly stopped his pacing inside the inn, and walked outside to view the sky better.
"The sun's so red this time of morning, isn't it..." Cleao stated as he met her outside.
" Yeah... Have any luck?"
" No! I think...
" That'd we should go check out those ruins. Yeah, lets go."
And off they went...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A dark cavern was the only scene that greeted Majic when he awoke from unconsciousness. The boy didn't know where he was, nor could he see anything in the cold darkness.
"Had a fun nap, little summoner?" Asked that same voice that was mocking him before.
"No, not really... Hey wait a second, I'm not a summoner!!!" Majic yelled out as he looked desperately into the darkness.
"Heh.. Lie to yourself all you want, you can't change who you are!" The voice said creepily as it faded out, and left Majic alone.
"Weird.. I'm going to become a sorcerer, not some summoner... I wonder who that was, or even if it was a person." Majic whispered as he started to feel around along the ground. Unfortunately, his progress was slowed down by rivets of pain emanating from the cuts and bruises on his back.
After a while of searching, Majic felt a oval shape that was cool to the touch. He slowly pressed down on it, and a white light came out. This light illuminated the cave in a small "v" shape, that showed images of a time that had come to pass.
Majic smiled, "It's the sphere! At least I'll get something out of this trip, even if it is just somebody's memories they wanted to preserve."
The images in the sphere:
A young woman slowly bowed down to a statue that graced a ruined temple from ancient times. She smiled down at the child, a little boy, which she had previously placed on the floor.
The woman wore a long, white dress that was trimmed in gold along to the collar and cuffs. She had on a tiara like head piece, and she had shining, long, golden hair. Her green eyes reflected her kind smile, and in her small hands, a staff was held that was gold with lightning bolt liked images carved onto it.
After a few moments, an aura of lightning seemed to cover the woman, and soon that lightning grew to encompass the surrounding area in which she stood. The lightning skidded over the grassy ground and floor of the area, which soon opened a portal that brought forth something akin to a beautiful unicorn. The only difference was that lightning covered it's thick coat, and also spewed forth from it's golden horn.
Afterwards, it pawed on the ground, and faced the woman who smiled at it's presence. On the sides of the woman, from outside the enclosed area, appeared two different people. Both male, and both very strong looking.
The one on her right, was 25, and he had blue eyes and dark, black hair that reached to the middle of his neck. He wore no shirt, and his pants were black. On his chest was a belt to hold a sword on his back, and a area to hold supplies.
The man on her left, was 24 years old, and had brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark green shirt and had on brown pants that held a belt to keep his daggers in place. He regarded the woman with solemn eyes, and went forward to pick up the baby which she seemed to have almost forgotten.
The man said something to the woman, and she laughed, and twirled her staff. The monster that was lurking in the shadows, 4 feet from the child, was instantly vanquished. The unicorn creature had shot lightning bolts from it's horn and electrocuted the beast.
All three seemed to be content after that, and the transmission ended!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Majic looked on in awe, and his green eyes showed small amounts of disappointment as the lights and images faded away. Majic then sighed, "They look happy.... I guess this was a summoner's relic... Guess I'll keep it, if I can ever find my bag again..."
He said as he slowly bent over and scooped the item up. He clutched it to his chest as he proceeded to stand and try and find a way out of the area. He found the wall, and slowly ran his hands over it to try and feel his way in the darkness. He'd found something, his hand had ran over it, which had caused his palm to furiously bleed.
"Owwww! What was that, another crystal?!" He said, as he tried to stop the bleeding...
Majic's attempts were then cut short, as the wall's small area lit up, and Majic could see all of the ancient writings that were on the small portion of the wall he'd lit up. He tried to decipher it, yet his mind was in too much turmoil to really understand it all.
After a few moments of his stares being blank, Majic gave up and leaned against the wall next to the light. After a few seconds he pushed off from the wall with a scream as he felt more cuts forming in his back. The crystal was activated, and the wall lit up for about a foot.
Majic looked in shock at the words that were on the wall. For so it seemed that the only way to leave the ruins was to light the correct number of jewels. A sequence that had to be precise, and each crystal required the person to light it by leaving something along with it. In Majic's case, his injuries....
"To survive this place, thou must be strong! 50 jewels to light, but if even one is wrong. Thou starts again at the starter's mark.... So little summoner, is it in your heart to not give up, or will you die here like others must...?" Said the voice again as Majic's heart sank to his feet.
"Master!!! Get me out of here!!!" He yelled, not trusting himself to find the right sequence with out it being his death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the fourth door in the ruins, Orphen and Cleao heard Majic's yell clear as a bell.
"OK! He's here but he doesn't sound to great. Think he needs some help?" Cleao asked as she looked ahead at Orphen.
He looked back at her and arrogantly said, "Well of course he'd want my help!"
Cleao huffed and retorted back, "Well your ego's as big as the moon is bright! Let's go already!!!"
"Not so fast... He needs to experience everything on his own, because he came here on his own, don't you two think?" Said the voice, that slowly materialized into a face. It was a man covered in dark material, and his face was shadowed by his hood.
"No! I don't think so , and if you stand in my way, your up for a big surprise." Orphen said as he prepared to attack the man who barred the way.
"The surprise is on you!! I'm not afraid of any sorcerers, nothing can compete with the power of what I am!" He said as he raised his staff high and icicles appeared beneath his feet.
"Shiva! Come forth, and aid in the destruction!!!"
Krylancelo note: Hope you nice reviewers like this. I don't own S S Orphen or do I own any elements of FFX. Bless and her guardians, well one of them, are my own doing though, and so is the voice. Please continue to tell how you feel about my fic, 'cause reviews make me write more. Thanks to those who have already reviewed, I thank the few who were kind enough!!
