Chapter One: It begins
Flash back: Black mage village.
"Does the water here ever stay still?" asked the young genome staring into the sparkling stream. Not a sign of intrigue printed on her face.
Black Mage No. 87, puzzled by what the girl had said scratched his head. "...? Water flows, doesn't it?" He spoke while tilting his head to the side, like a puppy.
"The water of Bran Bal was always still..."
"Hey, did you know that time flows, just like water?" The mage replied smiling. Finally it was his turn to teach some one all he knew, instead of being the pupil.
The girl remained silent. Staring into the running waters, waiting for it to stop. She couldn't understand what else the water was doing. She had learned that it flowed but it was doing something else.it was a sound.time?? "So, water and time both flow in Gaia...?"
'Yeah! Mr 288 told me,' the mage's golden eyes hinting at his hidden smile. 'Oh yeah, you can call me Mr 87, what's your name?' he said offering his hand to shake.
'Name?'

It had been several years since the Lifa Tree incident and the world of Gaia had returned to its once normal self, or so it seemed.
Zidane had married the now Queen Garnet, resulting in the breaking of many young women's hearts who had fallen in love with one of Gaia's heroes. For Zidane it was hard to cope with his new responsibilities and as all lovers do Garnet and Zidane had little arguments about what plans they had for the future. They both settled on remaining in the castle of Alexandria and taking time out to go on small adventures, 'just so that Zidane doesn't get too board (which of course was Garnet's excuse to escape her old life of being stuck in the castle).
Eiko was now heading to the age of 10 (making Zidane and Garnet both 20 years old) and was already making plans for her birthday party, months ahead of course. And ironically Zidane was the first person on her list of invitations to be sent out. Alas she had little chance of winning her soul mates heart due to it being caged up in Garnet's but that didn't stop her from liking him. Her father, regent Cid and her mother Lady Hilda had never been so happy in their lives as to when Eiko was adopted, to them it felt as if a new lease of life was added onto the castle of Lindblum and things looked brand new even if they had been the same for hundreds of years.
This excluding the fact that during the four years after assimilation the business district was repaired and the industrial district rebuilt. Now as well as the five original districts (business district and the theatre district, and the castle region as well as the previous two mentioned), there was a sixth district being built. None of the regent's followers knew what the sixth region would be and neither did the builders creating it. This was because all the blue prints for it were all in the reagents head!
Many rumours were spread amongst the citizens but none could imagine what Regent Cid was cooking up.
'Father? What's them people doing over there?' Spoke a soft-spoken child pointing towards the barricaded building site. There was something peculiar about the pointy-hat wearing child with golden eyes.
'Yeah papa! What are they doing?' Chipped in another steeple hat wearing boy, slightly adjusting his hat that had tilted to the side of his head.
'I'm not quite sure what is going on, but I'm sure the Regent is planning something special.' Replied the father who was almost identical in appearance and size of his two sons.
'Well what ever it is I don't have a clue, even with the fact that I snuck a peek.' Laughed a honey blonde stranger walking up to the father.
'Zidane!!' Said the mage his eyes glowing brighter with glee and surprise.
'He he, hi to you too Vivi. Long time no see huh?' The tailed man winked and stopped in front of Vivi. 'And how are you two doing?' Motioned Zidane to the two young mages.
'We-we-we're fine your Highness,' the brave of the two stuttered. Both bowing quickly as possible, as so not too offend the king of Alexandria.
'Highness? No ones ever called me that before,' Zidane smirked, remembering the first time he was called 'Mister' by none other than Vivi himself. 'Just call me Zidane!' He smirked.
'You haven't changes at all.' Vivi commented with his special smirk that could only be detected through his eyes.
