Chapter 28: Memories Revised

     Squall paced the ground impatiently. Every step echoed through the empty halls. Oceania hadn't returned in a long time, and he was actually getting worried. More worried about not hearing the answers he needed more that about her though. Day was turning into night, and he pondered about everything that had happened.

      Oceania finally returned, drenched in blood. It was smeared across her flushed face, and sweat poured from her brow. Her wings scratched the doorway coming in, and she fell to her feet from it. Exhaustion had the best of her, and she was in no mood to converse. She rose to her feet, and started heading for the washroom.

Squall: What's the count up to now?

Oceania: Leave me alone.

S: So it's okay you're a murderer?

O: You know I need them to survive, and get my revenge. Leave me the hell alone.

S: Or what? You'll turn into the monster you are again, and kill some more?!

O: Stop it! I hate the killing! That's why she does it!

S: You are her!

O: I know! Will you at least hear me out?!

S: Whatever.

O (in italics due to many paragraphs)(stops, and turns to him): As you know, I am the sorceress that has been slaying the others… We are one person, and yet not. It all began a long time ago when my sisters cursed me, and took away some very precious things from me. They cut my soul into two, and I am the better half. "Latisha" is the evil half. Though we are one person, we can act independently of each other. That is why I let her kill, so I don't have to.

     I kill to stay alive. I thrive off of the life forces of others. But I also kill to obtain the power I need to get vengeance on my family, and to restore my soul to its former self. I am evil in many ways, and I admit that. Please don't hate me, my voel. Your scorn would destroy the rest of me; what little is left.

     Please, if your SeeDs help me I can do my job, and I will let you seal me in peace. But if I don't, I will leave the fury of Hell upon the world. No one will be left alive because I am dieing. Latisha will take control, and I will be no more in a way. My evil hatred consumes me, and I will have no conscious. Should that happen… I will become a killing machine. Taking out my pain on everything. Summoning the forces of darkness against even you.

     Please help me, and I will go in peace to whatever punishment you give. Even if it means you killing me by your own hand.

S: Let's say that I do lend you support, what can we do? And who's to say that you won't kill us anyways?

O: I will not kill you. Also, you beat Ultimecia, my daughter. My only daughter. My poor child… If you could beat her then you could help me beat my family, and help me locate the items I need to perform the ritual to meld my soul.

S: You are the mother of Ultimecia?

O: Yes, and-…

S (interrupts): Have you had her yet? She's from the future. Perhaps you can prevent her birth.

O (scoffs): Preventing the inevitable? You are rather humorous.

S: No, I like to spare lives slain in vain… (thinks) Doesn't her existence in the future mean that you don't kill everyone?

O (wryly): Doesn't her existence mean that you'll help me?

S (considers it carefully): …All right. On two conditions.

O: What?

S: You revive Rinoa, and you get sealed for all eternity.

O (hesitates): …Yes. I agree. We will leave in three days time… (shocked) You don't remember any of your previous incarnations?

S: …?

O (walks to him): Allow me to resurface them. Perhaps your views of me will change.

S: …Whatever.

O: So be it. grabs the temples of his head, and chants…lets go It will be done shortly. Now I must bathe. goes to washroom

S:…What memories? I don't think I've lived before this li- Ahhh f---! My head hurts!

     Squall fell to his knees, and clutched his head. Flashes of pictures went before him, and all the memories of his previous incarnations came to him. He remembered Oceania, then called Tinsîr the Dae Begh Feer Nihm Toturod Ynef. He remembered everything about her, including what caused the wrath of her sisters to fall upon her. It was him.

****Combined Memories of Squall, and Tinsîr****(I'll eventually dedicate a whole chapter to this, or a story, but here's the basics)

GO!!

Can you feel it

The perfect day

Scratch the leaved

The paper tears

The world I'm feeling starts giving away

The perfect day

The perfect day

     A different looking Oceania stood before a different incarnation of Squall. She stood across the river, and their eyes met. He lusted her from the get-go, and he seemed entranced by her blithe attitude. He swam across the river to her, and to his pleasant surprise she held the river back for him. He walked to her, and they ran off into the woods, he chasing her. It all began with that single moment.

Suddenly you rule the universe

Everything was shapeless is now clear

I visualize with a drop of sound

I am the man without fear

     Soon he was secretly courting her, due to the fact that Tinsîr was a direct daughter (the first Guardian Forces) of the Great Hyne, and forbidden from loving a mortal. Her race was considered above them, and she was considered a heretic for falling for Squall, then call Deluge. He followed her wherever she went, and she followed him in turn. Soon the lust went into love, and he kissed he by the pomegranate tree. That was the beginning of their downfall.

You can't hurt me (NO)

You can't stop me (NO)

You can't beat me (NO)

     Her eldest sister saw, but said nothing, spying for more evidence. About a year later the two started to join together as one with out the union of marriage, however. They knew that marrying would mean instant death for both of them. However, inside her a child grew, and it became evident. She ran through the wilds of the world with him to hide it from her family. But it was not meant to be.

You can't bring me DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

     Her sister caught them separated from each other, and told Deluge (Squall) that she had just seen her sister. Covered in blood, she told him about how his mortality caused her to die in childbirth. She sent him to the wilds of Centra as "punishment" for her sister's death. He lived with a small band of natives in Centra, and became known as "Lone Wolf" (roughly translate). He hunted alone, and stayed away from the larger towns, and cities in Centra. 

Hello lady

She takes my hand

Delicate feature in this rain

I lose everything

Can I dream

The voice scream

The voices shout

     Then she went to Tinsîr, telling him of how he slept with a mortal, and cursed her name. She doubted her sister's words, but went into labor immediately. Her daughter was born unto her, and named her Dewn. Water was their element, and Dew comes from it. Dewn resembled the word "doom," as was her mother's future. Broken hearted, she lived in the snows with the Shumi Tribe. Her name is not to be uttered to this day.

Suddenly you're shot irreparably

Everything that was evil now clear

I hear the darkness without sound

I am the man without fear

        One day Tinsîr overheard her sister gloating about her latest trickery upon her, and searched for her mate. She found him in a forest in Centra, hunting as usual. She had taken their daughter to him , but before she could present the child, the eldest sister shot him with a single poisoned arrow. She held her dieing mate in her arms, and cried. He comforted her, but her heartache was too great. Their daughter, a mere toddler, came to them. He smiled, and died in Tinsîr's arms.

     The sisters, now a union against her, took her child away, and bound her. They punished her for her "crimes", and split her soul among other curses that were laid upon her. Afterwards they sent her to Hades (they were betrothed/ arranged marriage in the works) as a slave for his own lecherous pleasures. He gave her gifts, but she cursed him all the same.

Justice is blind…

I trust you

Justice is blind…

I trust you

     He gave her a crystal pillar (Lunatic Pandora, whatever you choose to call it), and she (technically Latisha) screamed from inside of it, releasing her agony into an audible range, causing the first Lunar Cry (thus the name). Death, and monsters plagued the land, and Hades hated her for the extra work. She spat in his face when he tried to woo her one final time. He killed her with a sword. He held her soul in a bottle around his neck, lusting her all the more. She was the one that refused him, which angered him greatly, the mighty Hades refused by a woman. Thus ended her first incarnation

C'mon (4x's) Daredevil

     The sisters had wanted her to remain in pain, however, and made him restore her life. He cast her into the world, and set her free to fend for herself. Her only things of value were her memories, in which she hated. She longed for her daughter, and lover, but found never found them until recently. She returned to Centra in memory of him, and lived in the cave ever since.

****END FLASHBACK****

     He remembered other incarnations as well, and realized that Oceania's present condition was due to him as well, and he, in fact, fathered Ultimecia (Dewn). He also knew why she called him her voel. He sat on the bed, and wept. He felt guilty, and yet wanted vengeance. He hated, but still cared for the woman downstairs. His memories explained his attraction to her in the first place. He dried his eyes, and made up his mind.
