Disclaimer: A.F.I. owns "Narrative of Soul Against Soul." I don't, but I wish I owned Davey Havok. Gotta love the Davey. Must love their music. It's all good... Hot guy, bad a$$ songs, heartfelt, and appreciated, may thier songs be forever in someone's cd player playing.

Note: Life is hitting an upswing, but I feel.. left behind. I should be happy but I am stuck in the black ozze that plagues my lonely soul. I need to post my new poems on my site....Oh, check it out if ya get a chance. Please?! Also, I typed these lyrice out myself. No website used. I wish A.F.I. wrote the entirety of the song instead of just smashing it all into a paragraph, and not repeating the chorus, and such... Ah, oh well... I need to save them from online anyways. I'm lazy...

Chapter 82: Ascension

Narrative Of Soul Against Soul

To The Wounded

I have seen the self image that they've forced you to reduce to shattered glass

With the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges

But the few who warrant waking for await their recognition

No fear of death

But with fear of life

Your weakness kills everyone

So live

Thousands of Guardians awoke from their slumber, the cry of thier chosen one breaking the bondage of unrest in sleep. Tinsir stood atop the roof yet, agile as a cat, and ready to fly at any moment. The rubble of the lighthouse, and orphanage began to repair itself to its former glory like a wave from her feet. Things were being righted after so many years of hurt, and abuse. Black wings before his face, Squall's own erupted from his back, white of purity he had lost in himself. A worried expression crossed his face as he stared at the feathered wings, and Tinsir turned to look at him, in awe.

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

She nimbly ran to his side, and looked in confusion, and then a look of terror crossed her face. Squall looked into her eyes, and reached out to her arm as she backed away in disbelief.

Tinsir (crying to the heavens): NO! You shant have him! Since when have you taken mortals into your once hallowed halls? When will my destruction be off of your agenda?!

Squall: What's happening to me?!

Tinsir (head bowed): You are ascending ranks to arch angel. Dammit (eyes watery in fear, hate, and plots). They will not get away with this.

A permanent solution for a temporary problem

Before I'd lay me down to rest

I'd throw away everything to live

Squall: Is this permanaent?

Tinsir: Perhaps, should we fail. You can retract your wings quite easily.

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

Squall (looking at his reflection in shattered glass held up telekinetically): How? I look like a freak.

Tinsir: Actually I thought they were quite becoming.... *sigh* Relax your shoulders, and roll them back.

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

Squall (does so): Okay, they're gone. My jacket's ripped.

Tinsir: That's the least of our problems.

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

Squall: I know.

Tinsir: You held up the glass on your own. I didn't aid you. Dammit, I need to trian you now, and we haven't the time.

Squall: Do we tell the others?

Tinsir: Yes, the Guardians will know about it, and will ask questions. The others will find out eventually.

Squall: Okay.

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

Tinsir (collapses in his arms): Squall... I love you...

Squall (pauses, and holds her, caressing her hair): I love you too. ...... They're near, aren't they?

Davey: Angels for Everyone

Band: For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one

D: Angels for everyone

B: What of their promises
Can't seem to find much more than lies

D: Angels for everyone

Tinsir: Yes, they are. You can sense them, can't you?

Squall: ...Yes.

Tinsir: Hold me for just a little longer.

Squall: ...

Irvine looked up from Selphie, and noticed all had been repaired. He jumped up, and looked around. Selphie looked around her, figuring out what had gotten Irvine out of having his favorite pastime. In awe they stood, watching the last parts of the room being restored.

Selphie: Irvine, what is going on?

Irvine: I don't know. But I think I know who does. Come on, get dressed. We're going outside.

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

Zell: What's that light?

Quistis (looks up from the sandy jacket her head was on): Mmmm. I think it's the lighthouse.

Zell: What's it doing lit up? I thought it was broken.

Quistis: Maybe Squall, and Tinsir fixed it. I doubt Irvine, or the others would.

Zell: Let's go check it out.

Quistis: Okay. Time to face reality.

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

From across the known world Guardians began their pilgrimage to the shining lighthouse. Of ice, of water, of fire, of earth, and of air all came to her beckon call, answering their leader. By air, by land, and by sea they came. Breaths of fire sweep out across the dark sky, while shadows of large beasts grace the cities. The revolution begins...
