--AND SO IT BEGINS—
***************************************************************************
Ten years had passed since Kuja was defeated for good. The group that had defeated him were throwing a banquet for the tenth anniversary of his defeat. They were outside in the Alexandria Castle's yard in a beautiful summer day.
Zidane – Hi Thoven! How are you?
Thoven – Great, you?
Zidane – Same old, same old. Heard you got married not long ago.
Thoven – n_n Yeah…
Zidane – Is it with Vanim?
Thoven – Who else?
Zidane – *Laugh* Of course.
Vanim – Thoven Tigarak, you could have waited.
Thoven – Sorry dear.
Vanim – It's okay but please don't do it again.
Garnet – Hello Eiko, how are you doing?
Eiko – Great, how about you?
Garnet – Finally got the hall redone.
Eiko – That's good.
Garnet – What about you?
Eiko – Vivi decided to ask me out.
Garnet – What did you say?
Eiko – Yes of course! How can you refuse something like that from a boy like him? He's so cute!!!
Garnet - *Smiles*
Danae – Hey Amarant, how are you doing?
Amarant – Same as usual.
Danae – You're a real barrel of laugh, aren't you?
Amarant - …
Freya – Hey Rusty!
Steiner – Rusty?! Why you… Oh! Lady Freya, how are you?
Freya - *Laughs a bit* Nice, you?
Steiner – Great. Beatrix has gave birth five years ago.
Freya – And you didn't tell me!?!
Steiner – I did not know where to find you.
Freya – Where would a BURMECIAN Dragon Knight be?
Steiner - ¬_¬…
Freya – So what's the baby's name?
Steiner – Names.
Freya – I beg your pardon?
Steiner – I have more than one baby.
Freya – How many?
Steiner – Triplets.
Freya – Really? Girls or boys?
Steiner – Three girls.
Freya – How cute!
Steiner – Their names are B'elana, Katherin and Mazaki.
Freya – Nice names.
The party went on for a while, everything was perfect. Everyone was there, from Vivi to Hilda. Suddenly, Thoven fell unconscious.
Doctor – He has a fever, I recommend letting him stay here for the night.
Thoven – Con…continue…the…party…with….without…me.
Vanim – I'll stay with you.
Thoven – Go…go have fun….
Vanim – I'll come back to check on you.
Doctor – Don't worry miss, I'll take care of him.
Vanim – Okay…
Vanim went back to the party. She tried to hide her worry but it was no use, it showed a bit.
Garnet – Is he okay?
Vanim – Just a little fever, the doctor says that it will be okay.
Vivi – Don't worry, the doctor here is good.
Vanim – I know….
The party continued until nightfall. All the guest went back home, except our little group who stayed to watch over Thoven.
Freya – I've bean meaning to ask, what are the names of you sons?
Vivi – They are Melindo, Ungwal, Beleg, Titta, Utinu, and Seasa.
Freya – O_o Nice names.
Vivi - Thanks.
They talked for a while.
Doctor – You should all get some sleep.
Group – Okay.
They all went to sleep somewhere in the castle. The morning came and Vanim was worried about her husband. She went to check up on him, something was wrong. She ran to the first person she could find.
Garnet – What is it?
Vanim – Thoven has disappeared!
Zidane – What?!?
Vanim – He isn't in his bed or anywhere else in the castle.
Garnet – I'll tell the guards to find him.
Thoven – Trying to find whom?
Vanim – Thoven, I'm so glad you're safe.
Thoven – I was just taking a stroll in town.
Vanim – Please don't scare me like that. Amin mela lle!
Thoven – Amin a'.
Thoven fell on one knee and held his chest in pain.
Vanim – What's wrong?!?
Thovne – Don't…know.
Thoven's hair began to grow, it went down to his lower back and went silver.
Thoven – What the?!?
Vanim – Growth spurt?
Thoven – Not funny!
Vanim – O_o Sorry.
Thoven – I'm sorry for yelling at you my love.
Zidane – An angel of death will be born amongst you. Is that what he meant? Why Thoven?
The day passed by as usual. Thoven was still getting use to his unusual hair. The doctor wanted him to stay close in case he had any more pains. At nightfall Thoven went to sleep in the infirmary as the doctor ordered. During the night Thoven had a nightmare.
Thoven – Who's there?
Voice – Hahahaha! Don't you remember me?
Thoven – That voice!
Voice – I WILL have my revenge on Zidane! And I'll do it through you if I have to!
Thoven – Kuja?!
Kuja – Yes!
Thoven – What do you mean through me?
Kuja – I will have control over your body, I'll use it to kill my brother and anyone who stands in my way!
Thoven – Not if I can help it!
Kuja – You can't! Hahahaha!
Thoven felt a huge pain in his whole body. Suddenly he felt like he was in a cage, he could neither feel, see nor anything else. Kuja had trapped him in his own body.
The sun was shining over Alexandria when Vanim was on her way to see Thoven. When she got there, she saw him standing in front of the wall. He gave her an evil smile and blasted the wall. The entire castle shook. He then flew away on a silver dragon that appeared to be waiting for him.
Vanim – Thoven, no!
Thoven didn't even appeared to hear her. He just left. Vanim went to tell everyone the bad news. They all were very surprised.
Vivi – Why would he do such thing?
Zidane – Kuja said that an angel of death would be born among us. I guess that angel was Thoven.
Fratley – We have to stop that Tigarak!
Vanim – We shouldn't kill him.
Garnet – Me or Eiko can revive him.
Zidane – If he can be revived.
Garnet – Of course he can.
Zidane – I hope so.
Eiko – Don't be so pessimist, we'll find a way.
They planned for hours how to catch him.
