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.





~~Diablos~~

I understand the humans better than many of my kind. It is perhaps something about their tendings toward duality that I relate with. They wish for good, and yet, many times find them selves doing evil. They want the light, but oft live in the dark. That is at least in part why I have made myself easily found. I wait though, for I knew that one day I will be called, and the calling souls would turn out more powerful than I, not wanting my power for assistance, not for power out of a sheer lust for it.

Diablos rested within the lamp that he had long ago been asked to abide his time in. There had been times when some fool would use it to summon him. Their bodies after losing the battle would only dissipate into the darkness that he lived in.

Diablos was napping when they used the lamp, so he was slightly grumpy as the children moved to prove themselves.

~~Alexander~~

Only a fool would volunteer to live in the darkness, and would seek defeat. Only a fool; or Diablos. He allowed himself to be cramped into a miniscule metal container and called by disrespectful humans. I fail to understand how he can tolerate such things.

The three youngsters seemed to know what they were doing, even though they had certainly never seen a creature like Diablos, and he was impressed by this fact. He continued to fight them, even after they began to use his own magic against him. They seemed to have a strategy for dealing with Guardians in battle, which caused Diablos to wonder just how many of them were residing in the minds of these youths.

~~Ifrit~~

The rest of us were never quite able to understand how he could live in that tiny metal pot. Most of us just chalked it up to him being a loner, and let it drop, but maybe it wasn't just that. When he fought those kids, he learned that they had fought some of us just by observing that they had a strategy for the battle already planned. After that point, his attacks had even more reasoning behind them, and weren't just the strikes of a half-asleep member of our people.

After realizing that there were other Guardians involved, Diablos decided to test these younglings in the most complete measure that he could. Even without using any of the others, the children weakened him to the point of surrender, and at that point, Diablos felt the minds of his fellow Guardians actually touch his.

He felt a great measure of respect toward the leader, but that youth quickly touched his mind through the other Guardians and asked him to work with the energetic blonde boy. When Diablos touched the other's mind, he was almost drowned in the energy that flooded him.

Zell blinked as the fight ended, fully expecting Squall to take the new Guardian, as both seemed to have around the same nature. So when the Guardian, Diablos, touched his mind, Zell was surprised. Not only was he surprised because of the mind touch but also because it wasn't a dark mind, per se, only one that was very still. A kind of stillness that was relaxing.

~~Diablos~~

When the sheer energy of the boy's mind surrounded me, my first instinct was to panic, but he realized quickly that I was a quieter mind, and he showed me a place to rest. That dark-haired boy has an uncanny gift.

I got back to playing the game recently so, I can detail a few of the summons more accurately. I also know whom I actually matched up with whom at the end of the game, and I guess I didn't have Irvine at the end after all...
