Note:Tinsir rhymes w/ here. It is not Tin- sir. There is a ^ over the second 'i', okay? People have a tendency to mispronounce it. Or call me Tinsel. So degrading, but Tinsel is okay around Christmas, then, and only then unless specific otherwise. Thank you.

Also, since I don't want to freak you out by emailing you, Chibi Angelo of Kamikaze, yes, I would be honored if you put me on your fav author's list. Thank you! ^v^ I feel honored, and liked. ^V^

Chapter 59:Tinsir

Squall sat down the Adonis near the orphanage, and he and Ocea got off. The winds howled as if a siren warning the coming duo, and fog covered the ground. Cid was repairing the roof, and got off of his ladder. Edea held a platter of cookies, and met the two with an artificial smile.

Squall nodded, and entered the shack. Ocea introduced herself, and Edea showed her inside. They sat down at the table, the kitchen finished in renovations. Ocea took fom her pocket a small black bag. From inside the bag came two sprites, and they danced on the table, stretching thier wings.

Ocea: Could you consider taking these in exchange for the use of your lighthouse on the full moon in two weeks?

Edea: What do you want it for?

Ocea: A great summoning shall take place. An awakening of an Guardian's will. The tides of fate have turned, do you wish to stand against the flow?

Edea: No. Keep the sprites. Except for one. I never had any children of my own save for one son. Allow me to have one, and raise it as my own child.

Ocea: Do you wish for it to be mortal?

Edea: No. I will not harm it in any way.

Ocea handed Edea one water fairy, and rose to leave.

Ocea: In one week I shall return in preparation. Until then, adieu. (bows, and leaves)

Squall (rises): Thank you. (leaves)

Cid: A fairy? It's cute.

Edea: She's beautiful. I name her Nerissa.

Cid: I miss our son. Such a shame...

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

Ocea lifted off the Adonis, and Squall sat next to her.

Squall: Where are we going?

Ocea: The quarter moon is tonight. We go to the ceremonial area to prepare. You may accompany me should you wish.

Squall: I'm not letting you go alone now.

Ocea: Alright.

Squall (puts hand on hers): ...

They crossed the oceans near Centra, and came to the forests of southern Esthar. They hovered over the spot where she had located previously. They lowered down, and removed the supplies from the cargo bay. It all fit in a couple of back packs, and Ocea held the books close to her chest.

They wandered around the clearing for a little while, until Ocea saw a overgrown door in a tree. She knocked on it twiced, and it slowly creeked open. They walked down the winding staircase, and came to a large room with one door on the wall opposite them. Ocea entered it, and forbade Squall to enter no matter what. The magic held in the room, though dormant, could kill a mortal instantly.

She took the candles, and such in. It took hours to set up, every item going through a small ritual to purify, and awaken it. Soon dusk came, and the stars visible through a hole in the ceiling. Squall lay on the ground, staring at the darkening sky. Oceania exited the room, and looked in the pack next to Squall for her robes, and such.

Song: Right Before Your Eyes Lyrics

When the door shuts, don't worry about me

It's not attention that I want from you

I need you to trust who I'm gonna be

And in everything I'm going to do

Cause I'm not afraid of what I don't know

For understanding is all that I earn

But what is for sure is I'm going to go

I'm going to live and I'm going to learn

And I know there will be mistakes that I will make

But I know none are worse than chances I don't take, take

She undressed, and put on the dark blue dress, and silver belt. A saphire necklace of a tear drop hung around her neck, and a sword at her hilt. She pulled her hair up into a certain ceremonial style of braids, and put on a black cloak. The hood on, she turned to him.

Right before your eyes, I am changing

Changing

You laugh on the inside, I am changing

Changing

Ocea: The night is young, and it is time. No matter what you hear, do not enter. I shall return as my whole self. (kisses him on the cheek) Adieu.

Squall: Be careful... I love you.

Ocea (nods): And I you. (goes into room)

When the door shuts, it shuts finally

A new person that I have become

I'll follow my heart to my destiny

Living in fear and the sorrow is done

Now, as it is of darker arts, the ritual is not to be spoken of. But let you know that her cries of agony, and such were heard, and many a time Squall almost bust through the door to save her. He paced the room nervously, every scream sending a chill down his spine. But soon the scream stopped, and silence fell upon him. And he began to worry more.

There will be no more feeling that I'm all alone

I will surround myself with things that help me grow

Right before your eyes I am changing

Changing

You laugh on the inside, I am changing

Changing

He was sent into a fury. Had she died? Did her body lay lifeless on the ground? He paced quickly, and dust on the ground rose.

Right before your eyes I am changing

Changing

You laugh on the inside, I am changing

Changing

Tinsir exited the room, and collapsed, exhausted. Her sweaty body cooled in his arms, and he wrapped her in his jacket. She smile weakly, and fell asleep in his arms.

Right before your eyes I am changing

Changing

You laugh on the inside, I am changing

Changing

He ran his fingers through her hair. The strands were blonde (had to add my hair color in eventually!), with streaks of black, and blue. Her face didn't change, but her eyes did. The once blue, or yellow/black eyes were now greenish blue with yellow trim. The dress, from the strain of the ritual was white, as was the cloak. Her misery contained in the jewel, the saphire had turned a deep black. It made the darkness in the deepest parts of caverns look white.

Right before your eyes

Right before your eyes

He held her closer when her body went into shock, slightly trembling. The moon rose above them, its light shining down on them through the ceiling. The night was quiet, and still. Only a slight breeze blew, and even then, only outside.
