Chapter 4: Dream of Reality
Silence.
Standing alone, Zidane looked around. Everything was strange, alien, a deep blue landscape, surrounded by high-ranging trees all around spread for as long as his eyes could see.
"Could this be...Terra? What's this light? Could it be?"
Suddenly there is a humming noise followed by a shower of golden, white, and pink spectacles of light emerging from Zidane's left. After mere seconds an old man, or what looks like a man is stood in place of the light. No emotion could be seen on the man's pale, lifeless features. The man would have looked quite normal if it wasn't for the fact he was mechanical. Zidane could see the way in which the man's body had been constructed and was disturbed very much by the way wires laid all over his abdomen. A single, scarlet orb glowing alternately, from a very fiery bright glow, to a dull, ember fire. Strangely Zidane felt as if he knew the man but couldn't quite figure out whom.
,"So you finally came.the time has come at last...the one who folds time is here." The old 'man' spoke, barely moving his pale lips that looked blue from the light around Zidane and himself.
"Who the heck are you?" Zidane asked in his own polite fashion, his gaze, never leaving the stranger. Not even for a millisecond, preparing himself to fight.if he had to. But peculiarly enough he sense the stranger didn't have fighting Zidane as one of his priorities.
"Ask my name, will you? Then let us ask...What is your name?"
What is your name? Spoke a female voice with Zidane's mind.
"Me? My name is-" Zidane began but never got to finish his sentence.
"What is your name?" snarled the man.
What is your name?
"Hey, what's your problem? I'm trying to tell you my name!" Zidane said stamping his foot on the ground, getting rather annoyed with the stranger who flicked his cape back and laughed to himself.
"So you believe a given name has meaning...boy, you have been bewitched by the light of the blue moon."
"What do you know? You must be from Terra."
As soon as the man appeared had appeared he was replaced by someone else. A young girl with blonde hair cut to her shoulders stood in the old man's place, her emerald blue eyes shining and mixing with the strange worlds radiating blue light. Her clothes were just as familiar to Zidane as the old man that had vanished was.
Terra
"What?" Zidane said, staring at the girl, her lips not moving once.
Terra
The girl stood still, only her tail moving from side to side, gently swaying as if it hadn't been moving at all. The young genome was dressed in a small dress with a few bold lines of purple with a black undershirt that travelled over her arms and part of her hands. Over the top of the undershirt was a light jumper that stopped just above her stomach and had short sleeves that stopped in the same place at her waist. The top and sleeves of the shirt was lavender while the bottom of the jumper was white. The material wasn't the same as what ordinary jumpers were made of but of a smooth soft unknown one.
A quiet melody could be heard but Zidane couldn't tell from which direction it came from.
Home
"Home?"
The song grew louder and louder until the direction of its source had been given away. The young girl smiled and ran down a path to the right of Zidane.
"Hey, wait! Hold on a sec!" Shouted Zidane chasing after her. The scene seemed very familiar to Zidane and no matter how hard he tried couldn't remember where from. He chased her over still pools of which he could clearly see his twin in the water. He paused for a breath moment to gaze at his reflection, confusion printed in his bright eyes. He touched the water and saw that not even one ripple formed from its source and looked almost as if he was passing through a mirror and not dipping a hand into a lake.
It's not like that any more. I wonder if I will be able to see it myself. He won't let us go.
Zidane rose quickly to his feet meeting eye to eye with a boy genome. This time instead of purple like the girl, he was wearing orange and short like trousers.
"Who?"
You will find him soon, but won't know
Will you help us too go home? This time Zidane heard a female voice within his mind.
The people of magic sense him. Go find them. Maybe they can help
"But.!" Zidane said, unable to quite figure out what was going on.
Maybe they can help Repeated the voice.
All of the surrounding light vanished with in an instant flicker.like a candle that had been extinguished with a single breath. The melody stopped and silence resumed taking the place of the enchanting sound. Darkness surrounded Zidane, the floor soon disappeared and Zidane was cast into a dark abyss, crying for help when all of a sudden he hit a hard, stone cold floor.
