Chapter 2Who Meant Most to
Me in my Final Moments
The two six year olds watched the darkening sky as the meteor dropped lower to their former home. The buildings seemed to break like twigs, then his presence came back to the world; the life stream erupted and helped the previous summon push back meteor. The children were aware of all the dangers around them, but they also knew that on this day they would not die, the planet itself was protecting them. Within a few short minutes his presence faded away and the two children bowed their heads…they knew they were truly alone now.
Their mother, gone because of some freak accident and their father…they dared not speak of him anymore…not after all that had happened. Everyone hated him, but they knew the truth, the planet spoke soft soothing words to the pair. It was saddened by their grief; they were orphans and now had no chance of having a home. One look at them and their heritage would be obvious to anyone.
The boy held onto his twin sister trying to comfort her though he hurt just as bad as she. He was always the strong one but even this was hard…he was only so old and now they were on their own out in the middle of the plain's area of the old chocobo ranch. "Sh-h-h, Naqada…please don't cry. We'll be ok." His voice trembled with his own youthfulness.
"I know Magnus, but I'm scared," Naqada sniffed and wiped at the tears from her green-blue eyes.
His eyes aqua eyes softened as he hugged her closer to him. "I am too…but we'll be ok. I know we will."
My only children left with the gift are so strong…do not fear the long road ahead dear child. I will keep both safe until come of age to protect selves. Beware of the humans though…the will hurt inside you if they see you. Kind understanding man at farm just ahead of you; he will keep safe till true, loyal friend shows then he will take. Path has been laid out, walk upon it or you shall fade away as my dark child did.'
The planet spoke gently to the children to soothe them then filled their head with its song. It had been weakened greatly by the children's father's last efforts to save them. Though it was pleased that he finally seen the true light to his life, but it had been too late and he had done all he could. The planet concentrated on healing itself and the dark one's sole while even more effort went to protect these last two…the only ones ever of their kind and ever will be of their kind.
Magnus, the one with the ashy gray/white hair, stood up with is sister. His hair was darkest at the roots and became lighter as it got longer though it only went to his shoulders where it was neatly cut off.
Naqada, the one with silver hair, stood with her brother; her hair was a gently color that was streaked with and almost red highlight color giving the silver almost a reddish tent to it. Her hair had grown since their mother had died, their mother had always made sure to keep her hair short; now she knew why, now her hair reached a length of almost her chin.
Together, the two children set off to the chocobo farm that they knew was not too far away. They knew this was just the beginning of the hard road set ahead of them; weather or not they failed was completely up to them to choose. All the planet could do for them not was try to keep them safe from danger and to lead them down the much harder path that would have the better results…any other path would lead to disaster…
