Chapter 15
Sorrow
The nest morning everyone woke up on time and got ready in a flash. "So are we going to Ruby's again today?" Zidane asked. "Yeah, she wants us to come everyone morning for this week, so I think we better have a bite to eat before we head over to her house, She usually wakes up pretty early, so she won't mind when we arrive." Garnet explained. "So Eiko brought In a few pieces of toast and handed them out. Quina was still asleep, so they left without her. They left the house and it was bitter cold outside. They walked down the pathway to Ruby's house. When they cam into the door Ruby was there to welcome everyone. "Hey yall! So today we'll do the same thing, but Eiko and Tawny, you two switch yer dragons with Garnet and Zidane, alrighty?" Ruby asked putting the Dragons together. "That's great!" Tawnya exclaimed. Suddenly a stream of blue raced across the outside streets and pathways. "What was that?" Zidane said running outside. Soon everyone fallowed and stared at the ground. It was like blue fire, burning lightly on the pathways. But soon the Blue turned to green and grew. A sudden shriek came from the sky while they all looked above their heads. Pink and red shimmers shot from above and made a large bowl like figure around all of Limblum. The impact knocked everyone on their backs. Soon they stood up again and the Green fire burst into tons of tiny spikes that shot to the ground. The bowl figure still stood it's ground when soon a loud rumble emerged. The ground began to shake and the Bowl figure sucked everything into the center. Everyone went flying as a rush of heat covered the earth. A loud crush ended everything. Zidane stood with a wounded arm and cuts al over his body. He looked around and everyone was laying on the ground stiff. Every house had fallen to the ground, and a light smoke swirled around him as he looked above himself into the sky. He turned around and saw somone running towards him. "Zidane! Zidane!" She yelled as she ran closer. It was Eiko. She was hard to recognize for her clothes were torn and her cheek was bleeding. "What is it?" Zidane yelled back at her as Eiko approached him. "Hurry Hurry! Garnet is hurt!" She said pointing the direction she was at. So together they dashed down the rugged pathways and tops of houses until they reached Garnet lying on the ground with a large piece of steel over her left leg. Zidane sat down beside her and tried to lift the steel board off of her leg. He managed to lift it off, and her ankle had badly twisted. They looked at each others gouged faces and Garnet's eyes were glowing. They all looked above them and the glow that was reflecting off of her eyes sucked Zidane and Eiko up into the sky. Zidane looked down at Garnet and held his hand out. She held hers out as Zidane became hard to see. A tear drop from his face dropped from up above down onto Garnet's hand. She then closed that hand as she saw Zidane and Eiko disappear into the Sky. Garnet opened her hand back up and shed a tear of her own on top of Zidane's. Garnet looked to the Side and saw four figures running Towards her. "Are you alright?!?" A man's voice bellowed. Cid, Quina, Tawnya, and Ruby had come to the rescue. Garnet groaned in pain. "We better get her back to Alexandria and to a hospital!" Tawnya yelled. " Uh....are the Dragons still alive?" Garnet asked Ruby slowly. They runed around and saw them lined up behind ruby. Cid brought ten of his finest living soldiers and took everyone away. Soon Tawnya noticed that Eiko and Zidane were missing. "Where is Eiko and Zidane?" She asked. Tawnya looked over at Garnet, and she put her head down. "Th...They are gone." Garnet told as everyone looked closely at her. "Th...They disappeared into the sky right after Zidane had pulled the Steel board off my leg." Garnet explained. "That's terrible, but how'd they get to the sky?" Ruby asked. "I don't know." Garnet told slumping in her seat. A jerk of the Transporter alerted everyone that it came to a stop. "I'm so Happy that my new ship wasn't badly damaged. It is the T- Hilda for it's size. It is a small Airship that is the fastest I've ever been able to construct." Cid explained. Everyone got off of the transporter and headed to the small ship. It was spiked at the end and looked comfortable. Everyone entered the ship and sat down in one of the rows of seats. "What about Eiko and Zidane?" Garnet asked rubbing her ankle. "I've sent my only surviving soldiers on a sky search. Don't worry, we'll find them Garnet." Cid explained starting the ship. Ruby all of the sudden started balling. "What is it?" Tawnya asked. "My theatre, My house, my belongings, my friends and family. They are gone. Every last bit of them." Ruby told Putting her hands over her face. Tawnya walked over to her and sat next to her. "At least We are alive." Tawnya said comforting her. Soon the Airship took a long deep dive as it rushed over the mountain peaks toward Alexandria. "We'll be there soon." Cid announced. "Me hungry." Quina explained. "Yeah, me two." Everyone else said. Quina then walked out of the room and asked Cid if there was any food. He gave her a plate of bagels and said that was all he had. So Quina brought them in and handed them out to everyone. "Thank you." Garnet said to her. "How is your leg feeling?" Eiko asked. "It's pretty soar and swollen." Garnet explained. Cid brought in an ice pack and carefully placed it onto her ankle. Cid then walked back into the front of the ship and lowered it. Everyone looked out the window and saw Alexandria below them. "Finally, I'm home." Garnet said getting ready to leave the Airship. Soon it came to a stop, and they entered the City. As soon as they were spotted everyone rush towards them to help them out. Cid led them to the nearest hospital and gave then treatments. When they cam inside the hospital room A few people came in to help out. Garnet had been taken out of the hospital and to the Alexandrian Castle to spend her time there. She didn't want to leave her friends, but she was forced to leave and everyone promised to visit her in the next few days. Everyone else had minor cuts and scars, and Sizzle had a harsh cut on one of his toes. So carefully they patched it up and told them how to care for the dragon. "Thank you for all your help." Tawnya said as the Nurses and Doctors left the room. Soon Cid entered the room. "We have a reserved place for everyone to stay until we are all healed, and until the search party has brought back Eiko and Zidane." Cid explained. "That's great." Tawnya explained. "Where is it located?" Ruby asked wanting to stay with them. "I believe it's just north of the Castle. It a great view out of Alexandria as well, and we won't have to travel as far is we need to visit Garnet. People have already left to freshen the place up and get it ready for us to stay, but I won't be there, I'm leaving Alexandria." Cid explained to everyone. "Where are you going?" Tawnya asked standing up. "Well, Doctor Tot asked me to come visit him at the Black Mage village in a few days, so I'll be leaving tomorrow." Cid told. As he left the room.
