For one unknown reason

by Kradvity

Okay, this is my first one shot, so it might be a little boring, confusing and extremely short, but I'm glad if someone reads it without falling asleep. Tell me if this isn't that bad. Deal? ^_^

Oh, by the way, if you haven't completed FF 9 yet you maybe shouldn't read this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 9 ( Do I have to say this every time I write something? )

Garnet Til Alexandros 17th. That is what I am called. That is how my mother used to call me. Not my real mother, but Brahne, the queen who used to stand in that balcony full of roses above mine. When I was little she called me Garnet and I felt just like any little girl. I was Garnet and would always be. But there in the past I did not know my mother's feelings were far away from my sincerity. Because my name was not Garnet Til Alexandros.

My real name is Sarah. Now that I stand here in the castle of Alexandria I can not see myself as a normal baby awkwardly stumbling through the paths of Madain Sari. That is where Sarah belongs. Alexandria is where Garbet belongs. Is everything in my past now? I see the sunset from the balcony of my room. Has the sun already set to my past?

I only do not know whether I should go back or remain here among the people.

And I, am I Garnet or Sarah?

I have always felt a little uncomfortable. I can not explain why. Have I even tried with all my will? Or am I escaping the truth I do not know how to be even though I am the heir to the throne, queen, her majesty. Now I am called by those names like my name means nothing. I am not even Garnet anymore. My personality seems to have disappeared and I have not noticed it. Like you did not know you are having amnesia.

The wind is turning cold. It reminds me of death. I often think about my mother, Brahne. She never told me. But I should not have heard it the way I did. It would have been a shock for a little girl. I could not have understood it since I am still not able to.

Why is the name so important to me? It is only a word to call me when someone want's to talk to me. Why can not I just take things like they are? Is it because I just am like this or because I am not like this. I am wearing a white dress. I always feel I am wearing someone other's dress. It is not mine though I have to wear it every day.

When I stand here, I hear steps. Smooth and silent like there was a thief sneaking behind me. I do not turn around yet I know who it is. It is a thief. One of those persons who in front of me are honestly themselves. I trust him, but I am afraid to ask him.

I feel him gently placing his hand to my shoulder. And when I am starting to cry, I hear his voice and raise my head to see the last rays of the sunset. Only that one word, one name is said and it makes me froze. For one unknown reason I trust him and I know he is speaking the truth. And for one unknown reason when he says the name, I feel that it belongs to me, and I belong to it.

It is 'Dagger'.
