Disclaimer: I do not own Star Ocean: The Last Hope (uh duh!)

All right Sawahii, I didn't find my notebook but I thought of this so I hope this will suffice until I find that blasted notebook of mine Lol

Timeline: years after the SO: 4 game Faize's POV

...

I woke up. It was the fifth night in a row that I lay wake on my bed, shivering from the cold sweat that terrorized my whole body. It was just a nightmare, I tell myself. It wasn't real.

I stood up, reaching for the doorknob in the darkness, but an impediment appeared before me.

Red eyes.

My hand automatically scoured for the hilt of my blade, but then it dawned to me that I was unarmed. I blinked once, just once and it disappeared. My breathing wavered. It was just my tired eyes playing tricks with me.

I left my room. I had to check if she was still there. My stride was slow, my whole body on guard, as if it was waiting for an opponent to fight. I reached my intended destination and silently opened the door.

I sat by the edge of the bed. The window of her room was slightly ajar. The moonlight illuminated her soft face. I stroke her cheek and smiled.

One glance.

One look and she managed to dispel all my fears. Without any words, she melted the demons that hovered around me.

I chuckled. What kind of magic did she have?

Short but I like it :)

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review when you get the chance XD
