COOMING SOON: THE EIDOLONS' STORY~DAGGER'S EIDOLONS!!!!!!!!! DISCLAIMER: ALL THE CHARACTERS AND OTHER FF9 RELATED STUFF BELONG TO SQUARESOFT. I DO NOT OWN THEM.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm different from all the other Eidolons in many ways. First of all, I'm a baby, while they are all adults. But I love being the youngest, 'cause they are like my big bros. The other big difference is their powers. I have "defence" powers, while they all have "attack" powers. Sometimes I feel that I'm like a toy compared to them. I feel like I'm...strange. However, Nix says that that though is really stupid. And that I'm not strange, I'm just special, and strange and special are two very, very different things.

I really like Nix. It is always nice to me, it even tells me stories when I'm bored. What is more, it protects me from the other Eidolons, when they try to bother me. But when they bother it, I can't do anything. Someday I will be really strong, and I will protect it too!!! Ramuh is also kinda nice. It knows a lot, tough not as much as Fenrir. I'm sure it knows everything. I also get along with Madeen, and Leviathan. The others don't talk to me at all. They are soooo boring... . I hope I will not be like them when I grow up. I'm sure I'm going to be like Nix, or Fenrir, or Madeen. They are the three Eidolons I admire. Nix for it's kindness, Fenrir for it's wisdom, and Madeen for it's strengh. It will be great. The only bad thing is that Eiko will not be there... .

I don't really know why she is not going to be there. I mean, I though we were going to be always together. But the adults say that one day she will disappeard. I had asked them many times what they meant, but they only looked in other direction and said something about the sky. I'm sure they are wrong, aren't they? Perhaps... . Nah, they must be wrong. Eiko disappearing? They must be mad. And where will she go, anyway? It's silly. Really silly. But I have to trust them. They are adults, after all.

I think I didn't mention this before: Eiko is my...how does Nix call her?...Um, yes, Master. My work is to protect her and her friends in their battles with my powers. It's so much fun!!! Before it, I had another work, but it was really boring. The most boring things in this world are Ramuh's stories about humans, Odin and guarding the Iifa tree. That was my previous job. After I was born, She took care of me untill I was 200 years old. After my birthday, she told me my mission, and left me in the Iifa Tree.

Imagine being alone all the day, in a weird place that you can't leave. A place where NOTHING happens, NOTHING changes, and there is NOTHING to do. Ready? Well, ya have just imagined a common day for me in that horrible place. Well, I wasn't alone at all. Leviathan was there, but as it was under a spell it wasn't that talkative. And Nix came some nights too. But still, it was horrible. I wanted to be strong, but to be strong you have to practice. And to practice you need monsters. And as all my powers were used to protect the tree, I have nothing left to fight. I was a helpless little brat. During those years I used to look at the starry sky every night, hoping to see her there, coming for me. But she never came. She talked to me in my dreams, but that was all. She still talks to me from time to time.

One day, the best day of my life, everything changed. Near the tree there was a human village, call Madain Sari. That night I was woken up by a loud boom. I was really scared, and started to look around. The sky was grey, almost black, in the direction of Madain Sari. "It's just a storm!" I though,"I can't believe I was scared of a little thunder!". I flew to the highest part of the tree, and sat down to see the storm. I realized that something that's wrong, but I just couldn't realize what.

"It's only my imagination, nothing is wrong!" However, I stared at the storm for a while, then to the sky above me. And I finally realized what was wrong: the sky above me was clear, the storm was only in Madain Sari! I look to the storm, then to the starts, and back to the storm for a couple of times. The only unusual think, apart from the storm, was a bright, red light coming from the center of it. It was all so weird, that I decided it couldn't be true, and went back to sleep.

Some days after that, Mix returned from it's journey. It looked really sad. I asked it why, and she told me what had happened to Madain Sari. I was horrified, but not sad. I never met the summoners, or visit the village, so I wasn't affected that much. From that day Nix stayed with me, telling me stories about it's journey. They were great stories. I felt like if She had returned. After some years, Nix left. It didn't say goodbye. I was angry with it for a long time because of that. But it's difficult to get at mad at it, ya know?

Five...nah, six years later some humans came to the tree. And one spoke to me. Well, it spoke to my spirit.

- Hi! Ya are the Eidolon who guards this place, aren't ya?

- Yep, that's me!

- Great! We need to enter the tree, ya know? It's something really important. I don't have time to explain.

- Huh? I don't really think thats a...- I stoped, and looked at the girl's soul. She was a Summoner. She was strong. And Nix, Madeen and Fenrir were with her! I asked them what they were doing, and they answered "She is our Master. And she is also your Master. Your duty here is over. It's time you join us. Tell her to hurry, and join her". That was the most wonderful thing someone ever told me. I just couldn't believe it: I was going to have a Master! I was finally going to get strong!

- Hey, are ya still there?

- Yep, i'm here. I just...can I join you?

- Sure! But will you let us pass!

- Sure! But hurry up!

And with that words, I joined her soul.

I have been a long time since that day. I'm much stronger now. Not only in power but in spirit. And I have the most beatiful thing you can have: a friend.
