Is He Alive…

                                                          Is He Alive…

               Zidane awoke in a Madain Sari.  The moogles had recovered his beaten body from the Iifa Tree. They immediately began to pamper him, slowly nursing him back to health. He had scares from head to toe. The moogles were afraid he'd die at first. Still all he could think of was Dagger. All he had for now was memories. If only he could hold her in his arms.

                   

                                                 (at the castle)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

               Dagger was still crying. Memories only saddened her more. She had faced up to facts. He was dead. It wouldn't have taken him two months to return. All she could do was cry at the thought. "What are we going Beatrix. We can't keep this up for long,"said the worried Steiner. "I know. He'd better show up soon, if he's alive," replied Beatrix.

                                                (back at Madain Sari)

              Zidane could finally walk around, but not to much. He slept many hours during the day. One day, a message came in. A moogle had found by luck. Since it had Zidane's name on it, they gave it to him. After reading the letter, he had to force his tears back. He was so happy to hear from her, (even if the letter wasn't finished. So, he requested a pen and a piece of paper and began writing.

                       Dear My Love,

                   I am equally yearning you. I don't know when I'll be back, but I will. Please wait for me my love. I cannot bear being without. But please, do not cry. Do not worry. I'll be back.

                                                                           Love,

                                                                                Zidane Tribal

                   He gave the letter to the moogle and requested it be sent to Alexandria.

                                               (at the castle)

                  The moogle flew into Dagger's window and handed her the letter. She began to read it. Next came a scream of happiness. Steiner and Beatrix ran in to see what was the matter. Dagger anxiously handed them the letter. Smiles overcame both of their faces. Then Beatrix murmured," Could this really be him?"
