Chapter 1
Crimson
A cool light shone down on the silvery water its gentle ripples caressing the stillness. Zidane threw another pebble and sighed while he watched it sink. How he missed Garnet, he wondered what she was doing now, and how she was feeling.
(She's probably of flirting with every good-looking guard in the castle, she couldn't care less. no that's a bit harsh she did what she had to do but.) .he still felt angry and betrayed.
Vivi interrupted his thought by wandering through the growth which towered above him and tripped over on a protruding root, owned by the tree that Zidane was leaning on. Vivi scrambled back up, brushed the dust off his clothes and adjusted his hat the way he always did. This made Zidane smile. Vivi spoke.
'that's the first time I've seen you smile in a long time' Zidane sighed and the smiled faded as he turned to watch the lake again. 'maybe I spoke too soon, Huh?' Vivi sat down next to him
'We cant find the entrance, why are we exactly going?' this made Zidane a bit more aware of the conversation.
'I suppose I thought it might keep me occupied for the time being, but I heard about it when I was in Tantalus, but we never had time or reason to find it. It seems as if fate has nudged me here.'
'Well, can you get it to push you any harder, you make it sound as if we have found it and already there' blank walked out from behind the next tree. 'none of us can find it, are you sure it's the right place? I mean it be pretty stupid if we were looking in the wrong place.' Zidane nodded
' I'm sure, not many people go or want to go there because the legend says the entrance is cursed and once you go in you can never get out'
'I don't like the sound of that' Vivi shivered
'me neither' blank agreed, Zidane carried on.
'Some say the entrance only lets certain people pass through its gates' Blank shrugged at this, his hands in his pockets. Moving from the tree he went and looked around and sped off shouting on the way.
'come on guys get movin' Freya and Amarant haven't stopped.' Vivi and Zidane got up and separated.
Zidane followed the rough path heading to the waterfall on the far end of the lake. He dragged his feet along the dust ridden track, wallowing in self-pity. When he was on his own now, he always did. Something drew him out of it when he heard a sound.
(Someone singing? )
It sound muffled under the roar of the water, but it was someone singing. He strained his eyes and ears to find its source.
He gave up after about ten minutes as the singing had stopped, but just as he was about to turn back, the singing started again. It was louder and then he saw something moving through the cascade. This intrigued him intensely so he jumped onto a rock that curved behind the rushing water and what he saw amazed him.
He had found the gate of Miya. He also found the voice that was now humming a gentle tune that Zidane vaguely recognised. He stood awe-struck it was a girl not much older than him, dancing in one of the smaller cascades eroded to the side of the cavernous room.
From as far as he could tell she hadn't noticed him and the hum was now turning into singing again. Zidane tried to rack his brain to try and remember what the song was but couldn't remember and as he listened closer he heard she was singing in another language.
All he could think about how enchanting she was, she wore a simple plain white dress with a woven shawl around her waist which was the colour of the sky blue. Her hair was tied in a tight plait, from where he was standing Zidane could tell her hair was a dark hazel colour.
(I wonder what colour her eyes are? Why didn't I think about looking here in the first place?!)
His thought was halted as someone entered from an opening on the other side of the cavern. It was a tall man dressed in red and black, he addressed the girl and Zidane wished he had been closer so he could have heard what they had said, but then remembered that she was singing in a different language so probably spoke it too. The man left
the girl sighed and walked out of the spring, Zidane sensed that she knew he was there, when she smiled in his direction it proved it, and he noticed her eyes they were a deep blue, so deep you could fall and never hit ground.
'CHARLOTTE NOW!! Your mother would like to see you' charlotte rolled her eyes 'And get changed you know how she hates to see you dressed..like that' she frowned and groaned.
Her hands fell to her sides and she bowed her head, a light surrounded her then vanished and the results astonished Zidane, he stared his mouth down to his ankles. She had changed dramatically her hair was confusion of reds and it was dry as well.
She wore a off the shoulder top that reminded Zidane of evil and cobwebs and the skirt. It definitely was to Zidane's liking. Her skirt split to her thigh and flowed down to her feet that were clad in black dragon hide boots which just reached her calf, the only thing that remained the same were her eyes but even they had a devilish glow about them. Charlotte laughed to herself and started singing again as she started walking slowly to the egress.
'You and I have met but for an instant and no word the gate-lips let from out them But the eyes, voice audible- the souls lips Stirr'd the depths of thought and feeling in me
if our hands touched would it bring us nearer? As our souls touched, eyes flame meeting eyes flame if the lips spake would it lift the curtain more than our mute bearing unaffected told the spirit's secrets eloquently?'
Zidane thought remembering all the things Dagger had read to him, then it clicked
(You and I! What play was it from? Ohh yeah Follow your heart, got it. What does she mean then?')
'CHARLOTTE!'
'Remember and find its meaning!' she whispered and whisked off.
