Eidolon Gems
Mage Staff
The two travelers reached Summit Station in what seemed
like hours after a hike around Burmecia and the plains around it. Garnet ran up
to the Cable Car Enthusiast and asked about Treno. The girl simply pointed to a
sign. Vivi read it out loud: "Next Stop: Treno, Alexandria, Daguerreo."
They ran to the cable car. "Where will you be going?" A worker named
Mary asked them. "Treno!!" They answered at the same time. "Good,
because that is our first stop." They boarded the cable car and sat down.
"..and then," Garnet was telling Vivi a story
of her past, "Beatrix jumped in front of me to get the monster--" The
cable car suddenly halted to a stop. "TRENO! TRENO! TRENO!" Mary
shouted. "I'll tell you later!" Garnet called cheerfully." LET'S
GO!" She grabbed Vivi and dragged him off. They immediately arrived in front
of the gates of Treno. Running past nobles and bums, they reached Dr. Tot's
house in no time. Banging on the door, they heard a pen scribbling something.
Then the door opened and there he was! "Princess! Vivi! How convenient!"
The doctor said. "You have some visitors.." He motioned to General
Beatrix and Steiner. "PRINCESS!" they said at the same time. "Zidane
isn't really dead!" Beatrix shouted. "You must come with us to
Alexandria at once!"
Before the two knew what was going on, they were on the
Red Rose and off to Alexandria. "Beatrix.." Garnet started.
"What's going on?" "Well.." the general said, "We came
to take you back to Alexandria. Zidane requested we find you and hold you there
if we found you. He is really worried." Garnet sighed. She wanted to find
Zidane herself.. she needed to see him.. not just wait like a little dog for
their master! When they reached Alexandria, Garnet grabbed Vivi and slunk off
the ship without being noticed. They ran and ran 'til they could run no more and
ended up at Pinnacle Rocks. They were all the way back near Treno! They stopped
and passed out on the rocks. When they woke up, Ramuh was floating over them.
"Help.." Garnet uttered. Ramuh flashed a lightning bolt on them and
they were floating. They floated over the mist continent and landed in the
familiar village of Conde Petie.
Suddenly wide awake, Vivi stood up. "Conde Petie..?"
A fat dwarf jumped infront of them. "RALLY-HO!" it screamed in
delight. Garnet and Vivi stepped back in surprise. They slowly backed away.
"U-uhm.." Vivi said. He tripped over a stone and fell into another
body behind him. Garnet rushed down the hill to see where he landed and found
him brushing himself off with another mage. "Mr. 288!" Vivi shouted.
The two mages were talking like crazy. "Um.." Garnet started.
"Oh!" Vivi said delightfully. This is my friend Dagger."
"Yes, I know," the mage said. "We have met before." He gazed
into the field over the path. "I need you to come to our village.. it's an
emergency!" he said. The two followed him to an airship. "Come."
They boarded the airship and flew to the village.
Once they entered, they were surrounded by black mages
greeting Vivi and staring and Garnet. "Calm down!" Mr. 288 shouted.
The mages calmed down and let him talk. He started his story. "Zidane and
the others came through here. They were looking for you, Dagger. They told me to
tell you, if you came through here, they were heading to Madain Sari to ask Lani
if she's seen you. If you'd like to take our airship there, be our guests."
All of a sudden, they heard a familiar, "FROG COME BACK!" echo
through. Quina came bounding in! "Frog gone.. oh! Mages! Dagger! Vivi!"
"Quina!" Garnet said. As soon as Quina came in she began telling the
story of her journey. Garnet also told hers and Vivi's. Quina decided to come
with them! "Very well." Mr. 288 said. "Let us get into the
airship!" He led them to the entrance of the forest where the airship was
parked. All 4 got in as it set off into the sky. Garnet strode to the deck and
hummed her little song. Vivi came and listened while Quina unpacked her bag to
eat her.. "munchies."
As they landed at Madain Sari, Garnet, Vivi and Quina got
off the ship. "Farewell and good journey!" the mage bid them. As they
waved good bye, they found a coin on the floor. Quina licked off the dust and it
read, "Zid..still sea..ill find D..come t..Mada..ri.." Garnet put it
in her bookbag for future reference. She also found another coin.
"Oh!" she breathed, "This is the one I lost! Remember, Vivi?"
Vivi nodded and she added that one to her bag too. They started for Madain Sari
in good spirits.
They greeted the moogle that was there. "Ah! Eiko
friends! You always welcome here at Madain Sari." Garnet smiled at it and
went in. Lani was leaning against a fencepost ruin playing with her hat. "Lani.."
Garnet whispered. "Princess," the bounty hunter smiled. "Zidane
came through here not too long ago.. actually it was today! He said he was
heading to the Iifa Tree. Wacko." Lani snorted. "I gotta go. See ya."
She disappeared into the shadows of the ruins. The three adventurers ran off.
"Iifa Tree not far," Quina mustered. "I pass it on way here. I
show you short cut!" Quina led the trio through the plains and to the tree,
where they found a sleeping--FREIJA!!! "Freija! Freiiiiiiiijaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Garnet yelled. She ran up to her and hugged her. Freija yawned and woke up.
"Oh. Princess? Yes, it is you! Zidane and Amarant left me here as to see if
you would show up. I will aid you on your journey. I believe they told me they
returned to Alexandria. Shall we?" Garnet said, "Oh, but how are we to
get there..?" Vivi spoke up. "D-dagger.. you summon E-eidolons.. can
you g-get one to c-carry us there?" Garnet agreed it was a good idea. She
took out her necklace and summoning stones. "Ifrit.." she muttered.
Ifrit appeared and they boarded him. "To Alexandria." Freija said to
the Eidolon. It took off for the city on the Mist Continent.
