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.

I have a very short time to finish this, so I will try to do so quickly, I have missed out on updating for the last three weeks because of term papers, ugh.



~~Gilgamesh~~

My respect for humans lies in their resilience. When things seem most against them, they pull from unknown reserves to battle back. They often prevail against their foes, even if it seems impossible for them to do so. All creatures that can stand against the odds of nature deserve respect. Even if they steal that which does not belong to them.

~~--~~

Chasing the sword long lost, Gilgamesh found the remains of many monsters of the world. Ever steadily, he crept upon the last of the Guardians who had taken his blades from him to make themselves stronger. Gilgamesh was not in the slightest surprised to find the blade bearer to be following and yet guiding a group of children who carried with them the minds of many other Guardians, nearly all, in fact, of those who had agreed to be bound to humans for the sake of fighting the Sorceresses throughout time.

~~Leviathan~~

We all stepped back after Gilgamesh's blades were stolen. We would have nothing to do with the events, as Gilgamesh fully intended to see them pay for their 'insolence' as he calls it. He does not call it treachery, for they did not take the weapons in a battle. He does not describe his search as vengeance in the strictest sense. If it were not for the fact that the three he has already encountered refused to return the blades without struggle, he would have been content to leave them live. Or that is what all of us assumed.

Gilgamesh finally caught up with the final thief. Of the four, Odin had been the most difficult to relocate. The others had had set locations they wandered. After finding an ancient ruin empty, but full of Odin's presence, Gilgamesh knew that Odin was finally active, after so long dormant. Gilgamesh knew he had neared the location of the thief Guardian when he heard a group of the others complaining bitterly of the rogue Guardian, who arrived when he wished to, and left as abruptly.

Gilgamesh followed the traces of the other Guardians, and the residue of the rogue.

~~Diablos~~

There were none more surprised than Odin and Gilgamesh when that young man displayed his reaction to Odin's existence. Admittedly, we were all having the Guardian equivalent to a heart attack, as the humans call it, but those two were the most shocked by far. I do believe it scared old Odin to death. Yes, Guardians are capable of telling jokes.

~~--~~

Gilgamesh had just caught up with the traveling humans and Guardians when Odin interfered in the fight with the separate human. He thought briefly of joining the loner for just long enough to regain his blade, but the small figure did what had, up til that point, been considered impossible. He swung through the Guardian, and apparently killed him. In a single swipe. Guardians, to that time, had believed that no human could genuinely kill them. Evidently they were wrong. This act alone earned the lone fighter a measure of respect in Gilgamesh's eyes. Of course, that did not stop him from stepping in long enough to regain his blade, but Gilgamesh held him almost in higher respect than he did the youngsters Odin had been providing aid for.

All the same, Gilgamesh aided them. He was used to his freedom, and fought on his own terms. Their previous encounters with Odin had taught the youngsters how to deal with such a Guardian. Though his actions angered the others, Gilgamesh cared little. He did, however, provide his assistance at a more interesting interval. Odin was nothing, if not one for being rigid in his aid. Gilgamesh preferred to be truly random.

~~Gilgamesh~~

After watching that child treat Odin like a large curtain to be swept aside, I knew that the youngsters battling him were facing something important. Much as I wanted to show my respect for the one who defeated Odin, I also knew I needs must keep my vow to old Hyne, and aid the children fighting the Sorceress.

I don't have many Guardians left. As far as it goes, I am not sure how many there are exactly left, but I do intend to write a chapter for Bahamut, Griever, Eden, and possibly more, if time allows.

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...
