PART 4
The girl blacks out. Next thing, she feels a soft pillow on her head. Her aching limbs
are finally rested, healed, and releaxed.
She hears footsteps. They stop right next to her.
The girl walks over to the man.
Girl: Where am I...?
The room spun around dizzily. The Girl touched her head.
Old Man: Whoa! And I only just removed the crown!
Girl: ...head...hurts...
The girl sat on the floor. She thought she would either faint, throw up, or die- with the
room spinning around so much.
The Old Man went over to a little helmet looking thing.
Old Man: Easy! This is a Slave Crown. The others had complete control over you while you
were wearing it.
Feeling the pain and dizziness ease, the girl stood up.
Girl: I can't remember a thing...
Old Man: Don't worry. It'll all come back to you...in time, that is.
Girl: ....
The girl racked her memory for any piece of information, for any particle of a life
that she had.
("CHARACTER: TERRA. A mysterious woman, age 18, born with the gift of magic.)"
Girl: My name...is...TERRA...
Old Man: Impressive! I've never heard of anyone recovering this fast...!
---
Outside of the warmth of the man's house, in the same town of Narshe that his house was in,
Soldiers and Dogs ran around. Suddenly, one came to his door.
Dog: WOOF! WOOF!
Soldier: I've found it! Come here, Celes! Help me get the Girl out!
Soldier 2: Open up! Give us back the girl nad the Empire's Magitek Armor!!
Celes: ...
---
Inside the house, the man ran over to the door.
Soldier: Open up! We want that girl! She's an officer of the Empire!
Terra walked over to the old man.
Terra: Empire...? Magitek Armor...?
Old Man: Look, I have to get you out of here! I don't have time to explain!
The Old Man ran towards to the back door.
Old Man: Over here!
He ran and stopped next to the door.
Terra went over to him.
Old Man: Make your way through the mines! I'll keep these brutes occupied!
Terra hesitantly walked out the back door and followed a bridge to the mines.
At one point, the bridge went right above the street.
Soldier: She's up there!!
4 soldiers ran below her, then ran away.
Old Man: Run, Terra! I'll send help!
Terra ran along the bridge, until she finally got to the mines.
She made her way by torchlight, occasionally getting items in a box, GP (Gold Pieces, the
currency in that part of the world) and running into monsters.
Were-Rat: SSSSSSSSSS!!
Terra: Eeeeek!
Terra's fright made fire explode and the Were-Rat burned up.
---
Terra continued, farther, farther, farther- until finally she couldn't see any daylight.
Now it was all torchlight.
She clcimbed up some steps and went around a curve. She heard some guards shouting.
Guard: You take this way, I'll take that way... And we can follow the trail of dead bodies!
Terra gasped and fear, loneliness and utter despair shut in. She panicked. She ran up
the curve, not even stopping to brush herself off when she tripped and hit her knee open.
Red blood flowed. She ran faster. Behind her, she heard dogs barking and a guard started
laughing about a dog drinking the blood. Terra shuddered.
Soldier: Mwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Celes: Kefta wouldn't be happy knowing you stolew his laugh!
Soldier: SHUT UP!
Terra heard fist hit face. She heard the cry of the woman named Celes and somehow, she felt
a connection towards her.
Terra felt herself shudder when the woman named Celes mentioned Kefka. She knew him.
Who was he?
Good? Evil? Terra was confused. Who was this "Empire"? Was it good? Or bad? Or maybe the
Old Man himself was teamed up with these soldiers. Maybe her poisoned some water and gave
it to her!
Terra was convinced that the old man was evil and the Empire was good.
Or maybe the soldiers were good! Maybe she was a criminal and the were simply
trying to catch her!
Terra her the woman named Celes cry out, and the soldier laugh.
It was then that she felt love towards the woman, and wanted to kill those soldiers.
She thought about going back and killing the guards, but then she remebered the Old Man.
No, he was a nice man. She continued to run.
Terra, awoken from her dream when she ran into the wall, ran into a corner.
She gasped. The guards rounded a corner. Celes, the woman, had a bloodied face. The soldiers
were kicked her. She shuddered and collapsed on the ground.
Soldier: Got her!
Terra ran t othe left.
More guards.
She backed up and fell down a hole. She stood up, sat down, and blacked out. Then she
had a flashback...
-----------------------
This is how her flashback went...
Kefka: My sweet little magic user...! Vweee, he, he! With this slave crown I'll
practically OWN you!!
Kefka put a Slave Crown on her.
Then Kefka tested her put against three guards. She burned them up.
Kefka: Vwee, hee, hee! Good! Burn up everything!
---
Then Terra saw herself behind a woman... Could it be? It was Celes, the soldier!
Kefka and another stood next to each other.
The head-looking man stood in front of them, facing hundreds of soldiers.
Gestahl(the head-man): We stand on the brink of a major breakthrough! In days to come,
we'll witnessa total revival of magic! It is our destiny, and ours alone,
to take this mystic force and claim what is rightfully ours!
Kefka, the other man and Celes walked behind Gestahl and raised their arms.
Gestahl: With our new-found power, nothing can stand in our way!
The guard and everyone else, besides Terra, raised their arms.
Everyone: Hurrah! Long live Emporer Getahl!
Then Terra's flashback turned into darkness...
-----------------------
Back at the Old Man's house, someone was just arriving through the back door.
Old Man: Took you long enough! How goes the robbing and the plundering trade?
The man who just entered looked very surprised.
("CHARACTER: LOCKE. Treasure hunter and trail worn traveler, searching the world over
for relics of the past...)"
Locke: I PREFER the term treasure hunting!
Old Man: Ha! Semantic nonsense!
Locke: There's a HUGE difference!
Locke looked at the ground with blank eyes.
Locke: Anyway, were you the one who sent for me?
Old Man: Yeah. There's a girl I'd like you to meet.
Locke rushed over to him.
Locke: ......!? This had better not have anything to do with that Magitek-riding,
imperial... witch!!!
The Old Man walked away and nodded.
Old Man: Imperial troops are pursuing her even as we speak. This town is no match for the
Empire.
Our independence can only be assured if we join forces with the Returners,
and underground resistance movement.
That girl wasn't responsible for her actions. We must get her to understand our dilemma!
Locke: All right... I think we'd better help her...
Old Man: Agreed. Make your way first to Figaro, and talk to the king.

Next up: ????? true name revealed! Vicks and Wedge dead, the girl finds herself beeing
hunted down by the Empire.
