Note: This story is gonna take up quite some time, so I decided that after this chapter, I will only update 1-2 times a week. I have another story that I'm working on in the Sailormoon Crossovers section, and I haven't updated in, like, maybe two weeks or so? So if you seem to be constantly waiting for updates, let me know and I'll squeeze in an extra chapter or two. ;)
The Tattoo

If anything, Quistis felt numb. She slowly made her way to his body and bent closer to check his stats. She was right, he was dead. She didn't know what to do, this did happen unexpectedly, after all.
Tears gushed out of her eyes, he was always like a brother to her. She never wanted to lose him this early. She started sobbing, and lay herself across his body in a loose hug. One word was uttered that echoed throughout the forest.
No...
A few miles away, a woman a few years older than Quistis turned her head. She had the exact same hair color and facial features as Quistis, only dark brown, almost black eyes.
This strange woman rushed away from the tree she was resting on, and hurried to an older woman. The woman's clothing seemed cerimoneous, and rightly so, for she was a priestess to a sorceress.
The woman she ran to was getting on in her years, and wore a mask the covered her eyes but didn't cover her dark auburn hair. "Mama, mama!" she turned her masked face towards the young woman from earlier.
"What is it?" the aging woman questioned, "What has happened, Mireena?" The young woman, Mireena, was panting for breath, "Mama, I heard her...I actually heard her!"
The woman took off her mask, revealing ice blue eyes tearing in happiness. She laughed lightly and said, "Well, my dear daughter, tell me what she said," Mireena looked up at her, "I believe something must have happened to the sun bearers child, for all I heard her say was 'no',"
The woman tightened her lips, "We must tell Sequio immedeatly," She placed her mask back on her head and left her place at the end of a dusty and stoney path. She turned on her heels, and briskly walked through the trees, making her way to a large tree.
"Mama, wait!" cried Mireena as she grabbed her own mask which was resting on the path, placed it over her smooth face. She chased after her mother, then followed her up the large tree to a lavishly decorated hut.
The two women made their way into the hut, and stopped before a figure who was bowing her head. She was dressed in a beautiful robe, with her hair falling over her face. It was a bright blonde with white strands, battling to take over.
The woman brought her head up, with her eyes still closed, "I know, Thalliae, I know that something has happened to my Zell. But something else I know, is that your Quistis shall be my heiress, and she will save my son,"
After that was said, the woman opened her lids, revealing eyes with a color, that seemed to be, a mass of gold swirl with orange-yellow. They started to glow. As soon as that stopped, her eyes dulled until they where a greenish color.
Thalliae seemed angry, "You forced all of your power onto my youngest child? Have you no mercy, she hasn't even met her own mother yet!"
Sequio looked up at her, eyes half gold, half green, "No, I have but lent her my powers, for there is no other way to save my boy. As you know," she smiled, "I have a son who will be a much better sorceror, no offence though,"
Thalliae's face took a look of confusion, "But you said..." she trailed off. "Hyne has allowed me a glimps into the future, she will be very close to him. She will take my position as leader, if my dear Zell refuses,"
