Notes: I was planning a longer chapter, but I have sat here too long. My back hurts from the so-called seat in art class, and my chair here only makes it worse. Well, I have written a song that took longer to translate into anagrams than it took to write. The sing itself wasn't much of an effort on my part, but the translating... Ugh... Well, I can't really play the instruments, or sing. Wishful thinking. Also, before I go any further, I am not a stripper. I thought that storyline would be intersting, so I put it in.
Chapter 65: Memory Rekindled
Tinsir looked out at the horizon, the red sun sinking below her line of sight. A gentle smile crept across her face as the light reflected in her eyes. "Gawd," she thought, "I remember why I have fought now. Him, Dewn, and moments like this."
She walked to the halls, her bare feet dancing as a melody from long ago filled her head. The anklets jingled, sounding like a breeze through hanging glass. She soon found herself near Raine's grave. Falling to her knees, shee wept for the first time for her friend. In all of the years, she never shed a tear for her, but kept her emotions on the matter in.
Squall stood behind her, he had followed her. he held a flute in his hand, know from various late night discussions that she played. They sat near the grave stone, and she played Raine's favorite tune.
_+_+_+_+_+ Flash Back_+_+_+_+_+_+
Raine: So what songs did you know from when you were younger?
Oceania: Hmmm, let's see. There is the Filrast Lang, or Falling Star. Ummm... there's also a song od prophesy called Asser Crystallus, the Stake of Crystal, or the Crystal Stake. It depends on you translate it. Then there's Pluit, a rain song. And Crystallus Mendiosus, a Crystal Glass Filled With Mistakes... Occido, For The Sun To Set, a song of the end of this realm. And Formator Amor, a Former Love. The last I created myslef at the time of upheaval. I dare not sing, or play that one though.
Raine: There was one about rain. Sing that one.
Oceania: How about I play it? My voice shall fail me tonight, and maybe my breath shant.
Raine: That's fine. Let me put Ellone to bed first.
Ellone: But I dun wanna. I wanna stay wif yoo.
Raine: One song, and straight to bed.
Ellone: Okay.
Oceania: One day you will grow up to be a beautiful lady, Ellone. The stars say so.
Ellone: Really? You can hear dem?
Oceania: Uh-huh.
Ellone: What doo they say 'bout Uncle Laguna, and Aunt Raine?
Oceania: Some things are better left unsaid before bedtime. Now, I shall play.
Oceania held a silver flute to her lips, and blew. The melody was sweet, and pure. The drought ridden country was refreshened with rain soon, and life was restored. The child, and Raine ran to the windows, and watched to gentle downpour.
Raine: How... Why didn't you do this before?
Oceania (takes a few seconds to answer, and resumes playing): Because you never asked.
Raine: (laughs) That's true.
Ellone: How about that Matador Armor song?
Oceania (finishes song): Ask Aunt Raine.
Both: Please?
Raine: I don't know. Both of your faces looked kinda wierd then. Maybe I should send Ellone to bed because I;m scared now (hids face). Go to bed Ellone.
Ellone (tries to remove her hands): Aunt Raine, it's okay. See, I'm a pretty girl now (toothy grin). See? You don't have to be scared now.
Raine (looks, and smiles): Okay. One more song, and that's it. Then you are marching your butt to bed, and sleeping.
Ellone: Okay!
Oceania: Which one?
Raine: Ellone, you pick.
Oceania: Which will it be?
Ellone: How about the steak one. I like crystals. Uncle Laguna, and me used to look for 'em in the dirt.
Oceania: Okay, but this one I need a harp for.
She pulled a comb from her hair, and it grew to a silver harp. Ellone looked upon the sight in wonder, wanting to be a sorceress. Oceania said she did not want to be one, that she herself wanted to be normal. Ellone said that if she wanted, she could give her her powers. Oceania laughed a little, and said that she could not. Then she began to play. The notes fell from the strings like honey, her voice like rain. The melody was soothing, but saddening.
Teh senost liwl uto
The stones will cry out
Reef teh nimade
Free the maiden
Teh rasts liwl cyr
The stars will cry
Teh dne si gihn

And banish evil from the Holy Realm

Teh Radignsua fo Venaeh, adn Thaer lashl grae arw
The Guardians of Heaven, and Earth shall rage war
Teh Glaen lashl trocvi

But the cost shall be great
A lycrast kates lashl lacl teh Glaen ot Shaed' llash
Acrystal stake shall call the Angel to Hades' halls
Thade sibd reh moce

Sih krad sloack gnolign ot pleenov reh
His dark cloaks longing to envelop her
Rhe fiel ot eb neod
Her life to be done
Ubt Thade lashl ide ta rhe dnah
But Death shall die at her hand

Teh den liwl moce keli a fost zebere
The end will come like a soft breeze
No rhe straew, ot tientrey
On her waters, to eternity

Cry not for the losses, fate has won
Dyr royu strae, a stroys dnoe
Dry your tears, a story's done
Teh lycrast kates lashl eb gniev ot teh Noli
The crystal stake shall be given to the Lion
Ni shi rora fo nipa
In his roar of pain
Ngingis ot ihm ofr wath smees na tientrey
Singing to him for what seems an eternity
Ofr ihm ot eb snali
For him to be slain
Ubt eh stahn
But he shant
Shi stroy shinfendu
His story unfinished
Teh ewn gae gniebs
The new age begins
Teh lycrast lacls pnuo feda raes
The crystal calls upon deaf ears
A voel dnedrekil
A love rekindled reappears
Teh Noli si nolae on roem
The Lion is alone no more
Oceania returned her hair pin, and looked upon her audience. Sleep had won them over, and she reflected upon the song.
_+_+_+_+_+_+
Tinsir?
Tinsir blinked a couple times, and saw Squall sitting before her, worry in his eyes, and furrowed brow.
Squall: Tinsir, are you alright?
Tinsir (nods): Fine. Just remembering a moment long ago.
