Dare I continue to delve into the minds of these wondrous beings? Well, I will, though I may mess up entirely...
Remember, I don't own these ladies, gentlemen, and monsters, none of all, but don't truly care to try changing that as I would be mowed down in the crowd.
~~Shiva~~
Leviathan and I are like sisters, or perhaps more like cousins. She flows, while I settle. She cascades, while I shatter. She has learned, over time, that change is a desirable thing, every so often...
~~--~~
Leviathan seethed inside the mind of the obese Shumi. He quietly lead the Garden, as it's financial advisor, but was slowly corrupting it. As the saying had long gone, 'A Shumi non-moving, is a Shumi polluting,' and in his case it was all too true.
He laughed as she seethed, knowing how mad it drove her to be kept in such a desiccated corpse of a mind. His facilities had all but rotted away, and she was greatly thankful that she would soon be free, as this putrid sack of bulbous flesh was near the end of its cycle.
How she longed for the freedom of the skies, the depths of the waters, and even the rocks of the earth. Water elemental she may be, but exclusive, she was not. Especially after this creature. She would first soar to heights never before seen, and then she would tunnel the earth, trying to abrade some of the filth from her body before returning home, to properly cleanse herself. She wondered how many of her cousins would be there to chat.

~~Ifrit~~
Leviathan is almost better than Shiva about cold shoulders. Ice is better for fire in that ice has to melt first. So I get along better with Shiva, according to the humans, than I do with Leviathan. Not even close. I love Shiva as a sister, but I've almost adopted Leviathan as my second mother. Just don't ever tell her that, or I'll get a bath like you'd never believe.
~~--~~
The three teens approached, and Leviathan nearly screamed in glee. She WOULD be free. These children were going to terminate the life of this monstrosity. She would be able to finally, finally fly free once more.
Mind touches alerted her to the presence of others. Immediately, she became cautious. If Ifrit, Shiva, and Quezacotl were there, how many others?
She quietly touched one of the minds fully. The boy opened his eyes wide, acknowledging her touch and allowing his Guardians to greet her.
She silently nodded to the blonde child. In his mind Ifrit seethed. The boy was strong, and worthy of respect, but he liked Shiva and Siren too much. The other one was more to his liking.
Other one? Leviathan shifted her attention to the one pointed out. The tallest of the three young men bore a firing object, and held Siren and Diablos, who both greeted her quietly, so that this one did not notice. He did not seem as attuned as the blonde, or even as the third boy, who even now was asking, through Quezacotl, the Brothers, and Carbuncle, if she would allow them to aid her in regaining freedom.
~~--~~
~~Quezacotl~~
Leviathan is seen as the warmer between her and Shiva. We all know though that it took meeting minds with my favorite ice block to realize that being cold does not always do you any good. I couldn't help but giggle when her icy mind shifted to join Sacred, Minotaur, Carbuncle and myself. She met a mental ice wasteland, and panicked. She thought she'd been attacked by Shiva. We could do nothing as she and the boy came to terms with one another.
~~--~~
Squall froze in shock. His mind was being assaulted by a freezing mindset. Almost as cold as he himself held out. The Other, paused, and a flare of panic caught in his mind. Squall closed his eyes as he fell, thinking to spare the others from knowing the struggle he underwent.
Caught by two pairs of arms, Squall mentally told himself to thank them later.
Squall had fully intended to draw this Guardian, and release her completely after the battle. But now that she'd learned who else they were aided by, she was determined to remain. After all, home was no fun if all of her companions traveled in the minds of mortals.
Over his head, Squall could hear an argument, but couldn't clear up misunderstandings. He knew that the Guardian was still struggling, but Zell already had enough aquatic and pyrotechnic issues with Ifrit and Shiva. And by the sounds of it, Irvine was all for forcing all of the Guardians to just leave rather than let one walk around in his head for much longer.
All the same, Squall decided to send this new one to Irvine, they might each calm the other down.
So he forced his eyes open and grabbed Irvine's shoulder roughly.
"Take the new Guardian," Squall snapped, "And don't argue. She doesn't like me any more than I like her, or Ifrit likes Zell's favoritism toward Shiva."
Irvine made to protest, but a cold liquid sensation shut him up entirely. The new minds apologized for the abruptness of the situation, but agreed that the situation was for the best.
Leviathan settled quietly into the auburn haired man's mind. It was warmer than the last, and certainly cleaner than that horizontally gifted Shumi. A slight rumble of mental laughter greeted that thought. Then there was agreeance to the assessment, and a vocal repetition of her thoughts. The other two reacted as their personalities dictated, but essentially agreed.
Leviathan was warmed even further when the cold one said offhandedly, "See? I told you you'd get along with her better than I ever could. You're already telling her jokes for her."
~~--~~
~~Leviathan~~
I never thought I would meet one who was more like ice than the Ice Queen. Perhaps she is his mother... Of course, jokes like that only get repeated, and scolding promptly issued for both the boy and myself from our respective cold-shelled friends.
~~--~~
How's that? I kinda thought it weird that the GF's kept butting in, but they actually helped some. Okay, a lot. And the shift from Leviathan to Squall and back is almost inevitable. I figured I couldn't tell it much more from her view and still explain how she wound up elsewhere.
I don't remember who I took on that fight, nor who had which GF, so I'm going to go with my personal reflections of who does well with who. Though I do think Squall had Shiva, Quez, and quite a few others. Dunno why though.
