Hey there I'm on a roll to make up for the long time between old updates.
Plus I lost my notebook when I typed up chapter 7 so I have to get farther
ahead so I don't regret changing that chapter big time. I can't answer your
reviews and questions cause no one has reviewed chapter eight yet. If you
are one of the few who did, then you did after I typed this up and I was
too lazy to change it.
Saria: I want some popcorn!
Sam: Hey you should be flying to Shirley's Shrine!
Saria: Sorry!
Sam: out out out out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saria: * leaves*
Lloyd and Saria were flying over the Crystal palace when Lloyd stopped.
"Is something wrong Lloyd?" Saria asked as she took a glance at him.
"I'm not feeling so well," Lloyd replied as his eyes flashed a blood red and back so quickly Saria wasn't sure if it had really happened or not. "I'm going to go to Deningrad for a break, I'll catch up with you later. Okay?"
"Sure I guess, but why?" Saria replied as she continued to stare at him in disbelief. There it was again the eyes changed colours again and this time she was sure of it.
"Saria leave now!" Lloyd shouted at her.
"Lloyd it's a demon isn't it?" Saria asked him, Lloyd didn't make eye contact he simply nodded.
"His name is Tinrina, I never thought that he would be this strong." Lloyd gasped, he lifted his head and starred at Saria through blood red eyes.
"Okay umm. . . I'm going to go now!" Saria stated as she started to back away slowly.
"No you're not. Your brother sealed your fate when he told you who I was."
"Uh-oh." Saria stood there not knowing what was going to happen. "Come on Lloyd! You can fight it!"
"Damn girl!" Lloyd shouted as his eyes changed back to a garnet colour. "Saria leave now, put as much space between us as you can!" Lloyd watched his sister intently. He knew it might be the last time he ever saw her. A tear rolled silently down her cheek but she nodded.
Saria turned and flew away at a break neck speed. Lloyd doing the same. There were no more detours for Saria, no breaks she flew straight to Shirley's Shrine which is where she arrived a few hours later.
"Hello?" She called as she walked onto the shrine steps. There was no one and nothing there, not booby trap of anything. Saria put her hand on a tile of the floor that had inscriptions on it. After making as much sense of them as she could she pulled the white/silver dragoon spirit out of her pocket. The effect was immediate. There was a bright light and then the tile fell from the floor and Saria fell with it.
"Ouch!" Saria's shout echoed through the hollow cavern. "What the hell?" Saria stood up she saw the light from where she had fallen and a light at the far end of the cavern. She made her way over to the second light. As she walked towards the light she saw a small platform. It looked so beautiful that Saria was afraid to step onto it. As she took a glance around she noticed that the light was coming from a small whole in the ceiling.
Saria was fairly sure of what to do but still needed some words of encouragement. However there was no one there to offer them. ~Savan?~ She said using her mind speech.
~Are you all right?~
~I'm fine, I'm just not so sure of what to do now.~
~You're doing it right.~
~okay thanks~
Saria stepped onto the platform and up another step. There was a small indentation on a stand that Saria now faced. Acting on a hunch she opened her clenched fist and starred at the dragoon spirit that was resting in her palm. She carefully took the stone and set it in the indentation where it fit perfectly.
The light landed on the perfect stone, which caused a disco-ball effect and sent the bright light all over the cavern. This enabled Saria to see that the cavern wasn't at all a cavern. It was a fine and rare white marble, that cover the floor. The bumps that she had tripped over before were now well-defined groves carved into the stone. They were words of ancient script. A kind that Saria couldn't read, which she found rather odd because she could read almost anything. The groves started to glow lightly, at first this attracted Saria's attention but not for long as everything was now glowing dimly.
"Thank you for coming here young one." It was a soft and calm voice that answered. However it scared Saria because it came from right behind her.
"Are you Shirley?" Saria finally choked out as she openly starred at the young woman that she had whipped around to face. She wore a divine gown that went down to her ankles. It looked like it was made out of diamonds that glittered fiercely. Her crimson hair fell down to her shoulders where it curved upwards slightly.
"Yes I am Shirley, the original White Silver Dragoon." She said and as she spoke the glowing started to dim.
"I thought that only Rose and Zeig still wondered the earth." Saria replied as she tried to remember if her mother had ever told her anything about Shirley. Savan had told her of Rose, and she had met the face of Zeig Feld. 'Wow' Saria thought to herself, 'she's so pretty.'
"Yes that was so. Now however thanks to someone who is of the light element and pure of heart. I too can stay in Endiness." Shirley spoke softly as she turned and glided silently towards a spiraling staircase, where she started to ascend.
"Who brought you to Endiness?" Saria wasn't sure if she sounded rude or not but her curiosity got the better of her. Shirley turned around and cast Saria a thoughtful gaze.
"A love struck wingly." Was the reply that Shirley sent at her.
"Love struck?" Saria replied rather puzzled.
"It's a phrase Damia created. We used to call Rose love struck, because we would be talking with her and Zeig would walk by and plant a kiss on her check. As soon as he was gone and we were done giggling, we would start the talk up again. Rose would always say something stupid like 'fluffy clouds' so we called her love struck." Shirley explained.
"Oh, so who set your spirit free?" Saria asked as she started to follow Shirley up the spiraling steps.
"You did." Shirley said as she reached the top of the staircase.
"How did I? Am I love struck? Do you know who I am?" Saria asked almost afraid of her answers.
"I'll answer your last question first and your first one last." Shirley replied as she tossed a few strands of hair over her shoulder to get them out of her face. "Yes, Saria Nada Framah. I know who you are." Shirley sighed heavily. "Yes you are love struck, you may not see it. I already do. You too will see how much you miss him before your journey is through." Shirley was now watching as Saria let a tear roll down her cheek.
"Dear me child I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset!" Shirley said in a very concerned tone.
"It's just that I left on such bad terms with Carrol. I didn't say good bye, I didn't even apologize. I just left." Saria said as the tear rolled down her cheek and fell to the ground. "Shirley, I wish to travel with my old friends, to visit Bale, see Lavitz and Albert again. I want to see what part of the world I can before Fate catches up with me."
"It is only natural that you would like to live like a normal child again. You have been through a lot that the average person would never have to experience." Shirley spoke softly as she started to explore the shrine. "It was very nice of them to build this for me."
"I only have one problem." Saria said quietly not really caring if Shirley heard her of not.
"Oh and what would that be?" Came Shirley's concerned reply.
"I don't want anyone to recognize me, I want to start over. Plus it'll take Zelldore longer to catch up with me." Saria said quietly. "I have a small amount of shape-shifting abilities, I could use those I suppose."
"Who would you be?"
"I don't know. A human I guess. I still want to use my healing magic, you know, just in case. So I guess that I want to be a white mage." Saria stated with a shrug. "I don't know what to look like though."
Shirley sent her a clear gaze of wonder though her emerald eyes. "I am a white mage, I would let you use my childhood body if that is alright with you." Shirley replied kindly.
"I. . . I would be honoured!" Saria stammered out thankfully.
"So be it." Shirley spoke to words softly and laid a hand on Saria's shoulder. Her hand began to glow as did Saria, there was blinding light for a minute. It bothered neither of them, as Shirley was a guardian of the light and Saria was part light element. When the light slowly faded Saria was still wearing the same clothes. That however was all that remained the same.
Her face once pale was now tanned lightly, her silver eyes now were emerald. The biggest change was that her silver hair was replaced with crimson.
"Thank you, I don't know what else to say," Saria said as she broke the silence.
"No thanks is needed, after all it was you who brought me here so that I may wander Endiness." Shirley waved a hand through the air to dismiss the apology. "What name will you go by?"
"Tyra. It has always been what I go by in common." Saria replied quietly. "You made it so I can change back any time didn't you?" Saria asked lightly.
Shirley nodded in reply. "Who knows that you used to go by Tyra in common?"
"Savan, Charle, Lloyd, Carrol, Zelldore." Saria stated with a shrug.
"Why use this name if Zelldore knows you by it?"
"He would expect me to change it, so an old name is the best solution."
"So be it." Shirley spoke softly. "You are as of now Tyra again."
"Well I've got a trip to head up on. Thanks for all of your help Shirley!" Tyra said with a wave.
"Where will you start?"
"I'll start in Lohan so I can get some new clothes, then I'll head to the docks to get a lift to Mille Sensau, I want to start in the Birth City." Tyra replied half doubting her own words.
"That is fine with me, but you have to end here so you can tell me all about it. Don't rush either, take ten years if you can. You'll need this vacation." Shirley replied kindly as she watched Tyra leave her shrine wondering if the girl really would come back, and more importantly could she live up to her destiny?
Okay, I'm home sick today, I managed an update as you can see. I'll try to get another chapter up to but I don't think that I will.
