This takes place in Gaia 28 years after the defeat of Necron and Trance Kuja (Duh) Kuja survived the Lifa Tree and is currently living in Alexandria Castle with Zidane and Garnet. There's what happened so far:

1 year after: Zidane and Garnet got married and had 2 daughters and a son. Zinnia, Alicia, and Zane.

2 years after: Freya and Sr. Fratly got married and had 2 children. Fei, and Jessie.

13 years after: Vivi and Eiko got together and had 3 sons. Vivi Jr, Nathan, Vivielo.

2 years after Vivi and Eiko's wedding: Fei and Mikoto got married 15 years later and had Katrina, who was part Bermecian and Genome.

This story takes place around Christmas at Alexandria Castle.

Zinnia and Alicia were on two separate ladders, busy with decorations on the trees. Zinnia was 19, and the tallest of the three siblings. She had short chocolate hair that rested on her shoulders and has green eyes and a tail just like her father, Zidane. Alicia was 7 years old, and the youngest of the three siblings. Like Zinnia, she has green eyes and short chocolate hair. Zane was 18 years old, and basically the strongest of the family. He has the same personality of Zidane with a touch of arrogance. Queen Garnet stood a few feet away, admiring it. She was dressed in green and red for the season and her long chocolate hair was cut short to her shoulder again. Kuja watched from the windowsill. Why do they bother decorating the same tree every year, he thought disdainfully. He thought about scowling at them, but didn't. King Zidane and his son, Zane walked into the room. "That looks lovely, Zinnia and Alicia." He said, reaching over to hug and kiss his wife. "Yeah." Alicia yawned. "Hey Kuja." Zidane greeted. "Hello Zidane." Kuja muttered, still looking outside at the slowly falling snow. King Zidane didn't try to get much out of Kuja, at least not now. "Zane, take Alicia to bed." "Ok." Zane muttered and took Alicia upstairs to bed. Zidane and Garnet took Zinnia somewhere, leaving Kuja alone in the decorated Grand Hall.


Kuja continued staring, not noticing that Zidane had walked up behind him. "Kuja, what's going on?" he asked slowly. "Someone is near the Lifa Tree..." "How can you tell?" "..." Meanwhile, in Bermecia, Katrina was asking Freya questions. Katrina was 20 years old, with long silver hair, bat-like eyes and a long tail. She was trained in the ways of the Dragon Knights and was usually very patient with people. "Aunt Freya, what is Alexandria like?" "It is a beautiful country. You'll meet King Zidane, Queen Garnet, Alicia, Zinnia, Zane, Kuja and the others." "They wont think I'm strange will they?" "Of course not, Katrina. Now don't worry about it." Freya gave Katrina the Dragon Knight outfit she made for her and took to bed. Tomorrow will be a great day. I can't wait to see everyone. she thought calmly. Meanwhile, in the snowy fog of the Iifa Tree, a cloaked figure made its way up the branches to the crystallized part of the Life Tree. A figure stood there, eyes closed and not moving.


The man heard a voice inside his head just then. 'Free me..' It said. "W-Who are you? And how are you speaking in my head?" "I am the ultimate god of Gaia. Release me and I shall reward you." The man casted a dispel spell on the crystal-like barrier, freeing the person. The figure fell to the ground, gasping for breath. The man bent over to see if she was ok. The girl stood up and smiled, her face hidden in the moonlight. Her hair had a shade of purple and silver. She also had feathers in her hair like Kuja. "I should give you your reward now." The girl pointed her finger at the man and fired a Flare Spell, completely frying and killing him. She winced obviously rusty from having not used magic in so long. Kuja, I will get you for this, she thought. Twenty-thousand miles away, Kuja winced.
