Chapter Five: Ocean's No Barrier
"I am what I am, and that's all there is to it..." (Sephiroth)
Staring into the sunset on the eastern side of the canyon, I turned toward my spectators who, against their will, were waiting. They would see just what ancient magic their ancestors tried so hard to get rid of. They believed the materia would solve the problem, they were wrong. I was going to prove it.
"Attention, please advert you gaze from the beautiful sunset and behold the power your miserable ancestors sealed away two thousand years ago..."
"What are you talking about?"
Once more the daughter of my most hated rival was being such an annoying pest. But as I would later learn, she would be like that the rest of her life. I just had to deal with it a little longer, and then it would all be over.
"Watch, and witness the awakened power of the Ancients, for they alone could harness the true Summonings. Through the veins of each Ancient, flowed magical Zen. Chanting, or rather reciting memorized spells of the Ancient Tongue; they were able to perform the Seal Rituals and the Summonings. Here is a sample of that power..."
Since they were still in shock, I decided to heat up some action. I began to chant the ancient spell for Ifrit, and I felt my core swell with the warmth of the beast. Within one motion the core of my being exploded in a ball of fire that split up and was sent across to all ten of my fingertips. I could feel the gentle warm sensation from the flames as my mind once again took control. Feeling time start to slow down, I chanted the spell once more.
"RaSiahh...Es...Tahh...Ifritis...Es...Rahh...Hellios...Flamei"
My eyes were engulfed with the red flames of the fire, and I felt the presence of Ifrit once again. I knelt down close to the ground and placed my flame covered fingers onto the cold stone. The blue flames obeyed the sudden movement and spread out within a circular pattern. The flames seemed to melt and sink into the hard stone. The center of the circle grew red, then white until it became blue and the stone began to crack. I took a step back and called forth Ifrit from his deep slumber beneath the surface.
"Behold, the legendary beast of Abysmal Fire. RaSiahh Ifritis!"
Obeying to the words of magic flowing from my mouth like a raging river, Ifrit awoke and was raised though the shattered stone. A giant fire pillar engulfed the hole and when it cleared the beast of true fire stood upon the ground, awaiting my command.
"Can you fools not see the power before you? I have performed the Summoning of a beast only called upon by the Materia. Of which I make myself clear, I do not carry the Materia. With this last comment I bid you all adieu...Kahh Ifritis..."
Doing my bidding, Ifrit relaxed and returned to the fiery abyss from which I called it forth.
"Listen, all of you! I am heading toward Junon, I saw be crossing the ocean. Within three days I shall be on the land of Junon, organized and prepared to wreck havoc upon those who cross me...This, my little annoying friend...means you Kisagari!"
Sighing with relief, I lowered my energy shield and allowed the spectators to fall gently upon the warm stone. I picked up my cloak and hid my face from view, and then just as suddenly as I had appeared; I stormed out of Cosmo Canyon with only one destination in mind.
None of them dared stop my absence, nor did they try to warn Junon and other villages of my approach. My little demonstration of my new founded power must have struck more fear into their hearts than I had expected. I visited several small villages on my way to the ocean's edge. Gongaga, Corel, and even Costa De Sol; none of these caused me any trouble. In fact no one there even so much as looked at me.
Traveling for days without rest and food put great stress and fatigue upon my mortal body. My Zen was weakening but I knew that I could make it there within my time limit I had set. Finally, on the second day I reached the shores of Costa De Sol and was prepared to do what I had set my eyes upon.
"RaSiahh...Es...Rahh...NeonisBahamutis...Es...Rahh...Gigasis...Flaris"
As I called forth the greater brother of Bahamut, Neo Bahamut began to surface. The great red dragon began to rise slowly out from the ocean, and with one massive flare; sent the ocean's waves and water parting.
