Chapter 18: Good for nothings!

The letter was from Zidane and it read,

Dear Heather, I hope your ankle gets better soon. I am sad to report that Cid wants us to go across the ocean to the outer continent and we wanted to go as soon as possible. We really wanted to take you, but since your ankle is sprained we all thought it would be better if you stayed at the inn. Vivi is sad you couldn't come and Dagger doesn't feel right without protection from you or Steiner. But don't worry I promised her I would be her bodyguard until we see you again. I don't know how long it will take but we all promise we will come for you as soon as we are done. Please don't try to follow us if your ankle is better. Please understand, we aren't trying to hurt you.

Signed, Zidane



"They left without me! I cannot believe it!" I thought to myself as I ripped up the letter in half. I threw the pieces on the ground. I then shook my head side to side and blamed only myself. I then started to laugh, uncontrollably! Tears started streaming down my cheeks and staining my clothes. I couldn't tell if I was happy or sad that they had left without me. After I had stopped laughing and tears stopped pouring out my eyes I threw the flower they had given me onto the ground next to the ripped letter. " Thanks but no thanks!" I said as the petals from the rose scattered all over the place. I sat up on the bed and looked out the window. " Man I cannot believe the damage Atomos caused. I hope everyone is alright." I looked at my ankle that seemed to inflict no pain on me. " Okay ankle.this time you are going to make me walk!" I thought as I hopped off the bed. I felt a sharp pain run up my nerves and into the rest of my body. A second later the pain totally escaped me! I walked around the room four times before I got the actual feeling in my legs then I decided to run out to the streets! I got onto the streets and didn't feel as happy as I did when I left the room. I saw many people shivering and hugging each other for warmth. My smile turned to a frown as I saw young boys hammering nails into their destroyed homes. I saw children complain over their starvation. I saw an old lady come up to me asking me if I had any food that didn't cost anything. I fished in my pockets only to find a small roll I had stolen from the lunch I ate at Lindblum Castle. " This is all I have." I said holding it out in my hand. Her eyes widened and she grabbed it faster then the blink of an eye. I saw her scarf down the roll lacking all manners. " Thank you young lady, for this I shall grant you one wish." Her green eyes showed great intent towards me. " Can I have Lindblum restored?" I asked. " Oh I am sorry, you see that is not possible." " Why not?!" I yelled shaking the lady. " Young lady. Stop shaking me and I will tell you why." I immediately stopped. " If I had the big magic to do that this city would've already been fixed. I am also not powerful enough." " So what your saying is you can't do anything BIG for me.right?" " Right, but I can transport you to other places and other continents in the world." " Okay! I want to be transported to where my friends are!" I said. " I can but just let me read your mind." " Uh.Okay?" The lady put her hands on her temples and in a blink of an eye.I was gone. I found myself inside a village of some kind. I saw black mages walking and talking around. " This must be where they are!" I said walking into the nearest hut house thing. I saw a black mage yell in terror at me. "Another human! Stay away!" He said backing away. " What makes you think I am going to hurt you?" I said looking at the mage. " You are armed!" He said gazing at my sword. " Okay.I guess that is a good enough reason to get scared." I said. " All I am looking for is a little black mage about this tall." I sized my hand down to Vivi's height. " Oh him? He is where # 288 is." " #288?" I thought walking out that door. Several more mages looked at me and screamed. " What was that?" I heard someone say as footsteps drew nearer. " Seriously I wouldn't hurt a fly! No wait actually I would but just remain calm anyway!" " You loser! Get away from those mages!" someone behind me yelled. Without looking at the people behind me I drew out my sword and violently turned to face my foe or whom I thought was a foe.
