I came to…where the hell was I? It didn't look like any place I had ever
been. I walked towards a small lone house. Walking inside, the guy swore I
was a repairman. He kinda freaked me out, so I walked back outside and
laughed.
I approached a man dressed in all black, with a large black dog by his side. "Hey, do you know how to get to Narshe from here?" I asked.
"You need to go through Doma, but there's an Imperial Soldier camp on the way there."
"Hey, you wanna join up with me?" I suggested. He seemed to know where he was, while me on the other hand, didn't have a clue!
"All right, but just remember that I may leave at any time." I learned his name was Shadow and his dog was Interceptor. I think I've seen him before. At least I've seen the dog.
So we headed south to a small desert and hid behind a broken brick wall. Shadow and I listened to a couple Troopers talk about Kefka. Kefka…I'll do him in good. He's insane and needs to be stopped! I'm sure that's why Mom wanted me to train…so I could protect. I promise then Mom, I promise to protect the world…and protect Terra from anything that'll hurt her.
Shadow nudged me to look over the wall. A Commander approached the two soldiers and told them that were to help in the attack against Doma. After the soldiers left, Shadow and I went to a tent to the left of us. Inside was a treasure chest. I tried to open it, but it was jammed. So I kicked it, which made a really loud noise. The two of us jumped on the other side of the treasure chest and ducked down, hoping the soldier we heard running here wouldn't see us. "Who's there?!" The soldier gruffly yelled.
Crap! I thought. That's it! We're screwed over! Then I'm not getting back to Narshe…
Then Shadow suddenly let out a very close-to-cat-like meow. I looked at him and blinked.
But Shadow's plan worked! The soldier mistook us for a cat and walked away. We jumped back over and opened up the chest, which had been loosened, from my kick. After we grabbed the contents, we quickly dashed back to where we were, and went a little bit further, now hiding behind a different pile. There we saw General Leo lecturing a soldier about not poisoning Doma. He sounded so humane, so much unlike Kefka. How could he possibly be a General to the Empire? "He could be my friend…" I muttered. "If he weren't my enemy."
A soldier approached General Leo, with a letter from the Emperor. He was being summoned back to the capital, so he went into a small tent to get his stuff. We stood up, thinking there was no danger, until we heard Kefka's infamous laugh. Quickly, we jumped back down, peeking behind the pile.
Leo came back out with a bag over his shoulder. "Kefka, I have to go. Don't do anything foolish," Leo walked off past us, and luckily didn't see us.
Suddenly Kefka laughed again. "Ready the poison!"
"But General Leo just said…"
"Leo isn't here anymore! I'm in charge! Get the poison ready! They are traitors in Doma understand?!"
"But there are some of own people in there!"
"Kill them all!" Kefka started walking towards us.
That was it. I had it. I jumped up and walked in front of Kefka, Shadow joining me. He put on a big dramatic scene, but ran the second Shadow or me attacked him.
"Kefka! Wait!" I shouted jumping towards him getting into my Blitz stance, readying myself to launch an Aura Bolt at him.
"Wait he says," Kefka laughed. "Do I look like a waiter?" And just as I was about to pull of my Blitz on him, he ran. Gah! I dashed after him frustrated as hell. Shadow followed right next to me. Here the little SOB was, so close! Yet I couldn't get off any damage to him! Especially for hurting my Terra-damnit! Did I just put the my in front of it again? I should stop doing that, especially since she isn't even near me. Oh Edgar, Banon, please keep her safe!
After this little unsuccessful game of cat and mouse, Kefka finally got some of his troops on us. It held us back enough to lose sight of him. After felling the troops, we walked ahead in pursuit of Kefka. Instead of finding the insane crackpot, we found a middle-aged man in deep blue armor, screaming something about Doma, and fighting off some soldiers.
"Who the hell is he?" I asked.
"Beats me," Shadow replied.
"Ahh, he's fighting the Empire, works for me." We went up to him, helping him fight off the troops. This continued for a couple more times, until I finally convinced him that we needed to get out, or we'd get the whole army down our throats!
"So where now?" He asked.
"This way," I said. "I got an idea." The man and I walked north, while Shadow went south, already knowing my plan.
"What!" He exclaimed as I told him to get into the magitek armor. "I can't operate this thing!"
"Just get in!" I exclaimed pushing him in.
"Is this how you operate this Sir Sabin?" He asked, making the magitek armor walk around in circles.
I suddenly found myself talking like him and laughed. I jumped into the other magitek armor as Shadow walked towards us. The man then ran over a couple soldiers.
"All right, good enough!" I said. With a quick introduction, we were off trying to escape the way we came. Fighting was quite easy in the magitek armor, but I couldn't do my blitz. In a way, it made me miss Terra even more. Good, I didn't put the my in front of her name this time. She had become fascinated with my Blitz, and using it, made me remind me of her. But now…
I shook my head and jumped out of the magitek armor, Shadow and Cyan, the Retainer of Doma, followed me. "Say, how do you get to Narshe from here?" I asked him as we ran away from the camp.
"Hmm…we could go south through the forest…" Cyan began.
"Good enough for me!" I shouted, impatient to run again. Though soldiers were not pursuing us, I felt better if we got the farthest away we could before night fell and we were forced to set up a camp.
Once we were all exhausted, which was long before nightfall, we fell to the green grass. I layed on the grass and closed my eyes, feeling the sun fall against my face. It warmed me gently, reminding me of my…damnit! Why am I so in love with her? Why? Oh brother, please take care of her for me. I need to see her again. I want to be near her again. This feeling is burning so much inside me, yet I just met her. Oh Terra…my sweet sweet Terra…please be ok…oh please…
We didn't set up a tent, just built a campfire and rested beneath the stars under a couple blankets. The warmth of the orange flame…the whiteness of the stars…the crispness of the green long grass…and the large towering trees. It seemed so great. And yet, something ran through me for a second, what if it all vanished? What if all those conservatists are right, that if we don't do something, we'll lose this grass and these trees… Of course I'll never admit it fully, but I love nature…If only Terra was here with me. I wonder though…she probably doesn't love me back. But that's ok. As long as she knows I'm here as a friend…it's all good…
Oh Terra…
