Fipp: This was inspired by the fact that a lot of keeping keep saying that Cloud of Darkness and Yunalesca look similar.

What was it For?

Auron stabbed his sword into the ground, grasping the hilt as tightly as he could so he could remain in his kneeling position.

"Just what does that mean?" he asked, anger filling his voice. "Just what did you mean about how these battles never end?" He looked up to his current opponent, the Cloud of Darkness.

The embodiment of the Void only looked down at the man, its gaze one of neither hatred nor joy, only true disinterest towards him. "It is as we said; this is a war with no end. When one side all fall in combat, everything is simply reset. All fallen warriors are restored with no memories of their loss."

"B-But, that can't be!"

"It is the very nature of this world. Despite your words and efforts, everything anyone does has no true meaning."

Auron strained his body into a standing position. "But my friends died! Braska! Jecht! Zidane! Minwu! Ashe! They all gave their lives up so those of us who survived could go on and win this war! They all died because they believed! Are you telling me that their deaths meant nothing? If so, what was it for?" He was practically roaring.

"The deaths of your comrades mean nothing. They will simply be brought back for the next Cycle, in which they will continue to battle and die again. All beings in this realm, summoned by the two gods, they share this fate."

"No! I refuse to accept this!" Auron raised his blade. "I will end this myself!"

The Guardian jumped into the air and swung his blade down, intending to cut the Cloud of Darkness in half.

"Pitiful fool." The Cloud of Darkness waved its hand, sending forth a blast of energy towards Auron, throwing him back and crashing to the ground.

His body did not move after that, and began to dissolve into small flickering lights until there was no longer proof that he was ever there.

"You sought to change the course of these battles," the Cloud of Darkness spoke to the empty room. "Yet all you met with was utter despair." It turned around and began to float away. "Perhaps in your next battle, you will learn to accept what is, and accepts these situations as they are."
