Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy.
After some consideration, I finally decided to write this. Just wish it didn't take me a whole year and a half to decide. I'd like to note that I've only played FF7-10, so I don't know much about the ones from before them. Sorry.
Odin- "It is alright, my friend. I don't look as cool as in the others anyway."
"Thanks."
Odin- "Begin writing, young writer."
"Okay. Finally some respect."
The sword of Odin.
I am the dark knight of ancient time.
My sword will swoop in to destroy the wicked.
I stand for justice and honor.
I am Odin…
We exist in a place that is far hidden from mortal realm. But when a mortal calls for my aid, I am there to give it. My trusty steed, Strider and I would enter the battlefield and I would unleash the power of the Zatetsuken, the steel-bladed sword. There are times when I use my Gunge Lance, but only for those who can not be instantly defeated by my sword. For untold eons, I have lived. How you may ask? Does one ask how the sun rises and falls every day? It is something that must be accepted, that is all. But I am not alone. In this world of various beings and life, I live with creatures like myself. Warriors who also serve as guardians to another world of mortals. Elementals such as the fire demon Ifrit and the...divine ice queen, Shiva. Ahem... Also there the holy machine Alexander and his partner Madeen, the small but lethal Tonberry, just to name a few. There is also the dragon lord, Bahamut, whose experience and power grants him the right to rule. And then there is the Ark, a vessel that can change into a being of extreme power. And then there are my comrades-in-arms, the Knights of the Round. Each knight bearing a weapon that can decimate any enemy and overwhelm them. Like me...
But we are not completely out of touch with the mortal world. On many occasions, we have been summoned or called forth to the aid of other, usually those with noble hearts and strength. One such occasion was in assistance to a group known as Avalanche. There, I was to aid them in saving the Planet from a creature called Sephiroth. Such a misguided soul, but he left me us with no choice but to stop him. In a way, he was like Vincent, the one would carry me. Both have dark souls, but Vincent's is derived more from grief and the sense of atonement than Sephiroth's insanity. Unfortunately, my sword could not affect Sephiroth, so I was only able to use my lance. It wasn't much, so my brethren, the Knights of the Round, had to fight in my place. Their raw power and sheer might enable the Avalanche group to topple and defeat Sephiroth.
In the time after that I was awakened in the midst of my castle in another world. Although I was a bit surprised, it suited me just fine. But I couldn't leave the tower because I knew that I had to wait for the summoners to come to me. They came. A group of three challenged me for use of my power. But rather than fight them, I allowed myself to be defeated, challenging them instead with both my time limit trial and with Tonberry King guarding the sanctuary. I was also surprised when they defeated him as well, but it only went to show that these ones were truly strong. They were journeying to defeat a sorceress from the future who was planning on destroying their present. My powers in this world were strange as they could not control me, but rather I became as a true knight, vanquishing their foes whenever I could. But one particular foe would be my undoing in the form of Seifer, Squall's gunblade rival. When I came in to attack him, he used my only technique Zantetsuken, against me. Truly a warrior of great skill and cunning. But on the sign of my defeat, another came to fight him as well. Gilgamesh, who had retrieved my sword when it fell from my hand after my defeat, used it to do away with Seifer and defeat him. It took me some time to regain my weapon and in order to do that, me and Gilgamesh had to duel for it. It was a long and grueling fight, but I managed to defeat him and regain my blade.
The next world that summoned to was different. I sensed the one controlling me was not at all good, but possessed a heart of malice and greed. At her call, I was summoned forth to use my power against a tree. But it wasn't until later that I had realized that the tree was the home of and entire city. What have I done? I would weep for those innocent who fell at my lance for some time until my summoner was changed into another. A little girl named Eiko, who was joined with another summoner, Dagger in order to stop an even greater menace than the one that used me. Within that time, I caught sight of Bahamut and Shiva, who seemed...a little to close to each other. I believe I felt jealous at this, but then I learned that Bahamut was also sadden by the fact that he had also been controlled by the greater menace I spoke of early. This creature, Kuja, used Bahamut to destroy an entire fleet and then attack a helpless city. But he had to actually witness his only flare powers incinerate many, to the point where he shed a tear. That wasn't right seeing him like that. But like me, he was saved by Dagger and he forced his sadness aside and turned it into a need for justice. With this in mind, the two of us, along with the other summons, forced our way to Kuja and defeated him. I sensed that he was misguided, much like Sephiroth. But that is no excuse for what he had done.
Now I remain in my dark castle. A few of my comrades had disappeared for another journey without me. I do not mind. There will be other days, other battles for me to fight. And when the time comes, I will be ready. My steed, Strider and I will once again take to the battlefield and strike down any who dare defy us.
I am the dark knight of justice
I am Odin!
