Chapter 3

Zidane lay awake in bed. Noticing that Garnet is already asleep made him restless. No one to speak to till morning.

…So vast and away

The song. Their song. One thing that he and Garnet shared with no connections. Speaking to eachother, expressing.

See the bird as it flies by…

That day on the rooftop. Garnet was singing; no care whatsoever to whom were listening. She sang, her beautiful voice lingered throughout the castle dorms. Breaking the silent chatter of soldiers, and noise of the busy commoners. Zidane himself was almost hypnotized by the angel voice. Like a Siren leading a soldier to their fate.

Guiding through the shadows…

He followed the voice, but was quiet. Zidane had no intentions to make mischief amongst the soldiers.

…Of the clouds up in the sky

Zidane made his way to the roof eventually. He walked slowly near Garnet, who was petting white doves gently. They flew away freely. Garnet turned to him then to the birds. Watching in envious eyes.

How did you get up here? This area is restricted.

C'mon! I do this for a living! Zidane boasted in great satisfaction.

Garnet turned again, saying I forgot. You're a member of Tantalus.

Zidane smiled a goofy smile. But had no returns.

That song. Where did you learn it?

I don't know. I sing every time I'm sad or lonely.

It's a mystic song. Can I hear it again?

She nodded and began to sing again. He loved it. Even if he had just heard it. He chuckled and went to sleep.
