Last time of Return to Me:
Freya and Fratley prepared for the trip to Alexandria together and left the
morning of the play. The walk they planned was silent, after Freya
explained what had happened the day they all saw each other last. She was
excited to see everyone again, but she knew it would be hard for them all.
Seeing the play again, that was what started it all. Freya was only sad
that she wasn't there from the very beginning
Return to Me
Chapter 4: Eiko's Dream
Eiko sat in her new room at the Lindblum castle. Three tickets sat in front of her on a small table. She couldn't wait to see everyone. It just wouldn't be the same without Zidane. She got up and made her way quickly towards the garden atop the roof. She leaned on the wall. Eiko's large cross necklace clanged off the wall. She didn't notice it, until it clanged more in the wind.
Eiko reached down and picked up the cross. She was almost eight now. The cross was half the size of her own hand, she smiled as she saw her reflection in the shinny silver. She remembered she bought the cross so whenever she looked at it, it would remind her of Zidane. Eiko lay it down on the half wall's top. The chain was very long on her, the silver reflected off the sun and into the large telescope next to her.
A bright light flashed, Eiko had to cover her eyes with one hand. When the light faded she turned to look out at the sky. She smiled the sun and telescope made a northern light type colors in the sky. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her four jewels. Two if them were from Garnet, and two of them were her own. Although the jewels looked the same, she could still remember which ones were whose.
Garnet's were so clean and shiny, definitely well kept. Her own was rather dirty from the just of Maiden Sari. She stuck the jewels back in her pocket and turned away. Her necklace fell from the ledge causing the colored lights to disappear.
Eiko went back into her room to grab the three tickets. She went quickly to the conference room to see if her new parents were ready to leave for the play. Both of them sat at the long table looking at a small postcard type book. Her new mother looked up and smiled at her, and then back down to the book. It was filled with pictures of the family together, some single pictures of Eiko and other of her with her parents.
"Ready to go yet?" Eiko asked curiously. Moving over to the side of the table were parents sat looking over her father's shoulder at the book. She smiled as she saw the pictures of them all laughing and smiling together. In a way she felt guilty for being so happy, when she knew the others were probably mourning over Zidane but inside she was too.
"In a minute Eiko dear." Lady Hilde said. Her slender hands turning the pages of the small picture book. Eiko was beginning to lose her patients and wanted to leave badly.
"But it's twenty minutes to the play" Eiko said, throwing her arms into her air. Her father wasn't about to tolerate her whiny tone. He pushed his chair out and stood up. Lady Hilde was already standing and took young Eiko's had in her own.
"Alright, lets go Eiko." The Regant said. Eiko took her fathers hand with her free hand and lead them eagerly to the elevator to take them to the airship dock. They were there way to Alexandria to see a play that started it all.
