Cilendrea took Tiffa, Quistis and the others to her world she left the first group in the field.
"Whoa that was fun." Rinoa said as she looked around the field.
"Fun is not how I would put it." Tiffa said looking down at her feet that were in a mud puddle.
"You have free run of the field but do not stray into the shadows." Cilendrea said and vanished.
Alexandros castle
Steiner was standing guard at the main gate with his newly wed bride Betrix. It was a warm sunny day and they were looking forward to their relief.
"Today is a beautiful day." Betrix said looking up at the sky.
"It sure is." Steiner agreed.
"As soon as our relief gets here lets go for a walk." Betrix said.
"I would enjoy that." Steiner said.
They stood at their posts until their reliefs came.
"We are here to relive you." Freya said as she took up her post next to Betrix.
"You may stand down." Amarant said.
"Very well." Steiner said.
"We are gonna go for a walk in that field over the hill." Betrix said taking Steiner by the hand and leading him down the drawbridge.
As they were walking down the drawbridge a mysterious light engulfed them. When they opened their eyes They saw a women in white floating just above the bridge. Steiner and Betrix drew their swords and Frya and Amarant came running up weapons in hand.
"Who are you." Betrix demanded.
"My name is Cilendrea and I have come to ask for your help in guarding a princess through extreme dangers." Cilendrea said.
"We would but he have to protect our Queen and King." Betrix said.
"I have already asked them for your help and they agreed." Cilendrea said.
"Freya go see if that is true." Steiner said.
"I'm on it." Freya said and was gone.
"We have not the time to wait." Cilendrea said and raised her hand.
A light covered Steiner and Betrix and they vanished. Next thing they knew they were in the throne room.
"Oh Miss. Cilendrea your back." Dagger said.
"Yes these two didn't want to go without hearing from you your orders." Cilendrea said.
"Very well." Dagger said and stood. "Steiner and Betrix you two are to accompany Cilendrea to the land of Aslen to protect one of the 7 princesses."
"Yes my Queen." They both said at once.
"Then it is settled." Cilendrea said and they disappeared in a flash of light.
"Do you believe what she said about a great evil and the princesses?" Zidane asked.
"No but those two need to get away from their duties for a wile." Dagger said and smiled.
Just then Freya came running in.
"My Queen there is a strange woman at the gates saying you gave Steiner and Betrix permission to go with her." Freya said.
"I did but do not worry about telling them they were just here and are now gone." Dagger said.
"How did they get here before me?" Freya asked in astonishment.
"I do not know." Dagger said.

"Send a clean up team." Aki said.
"Yes Ma'am." The man said and ran out of the room.
"So Aki head of the science department and the military not bad." Dr. Cid said.
"Well after you retired someone had to take over." Aki said.
"That's true." Cid said. "But just because I am retired doesn't mean I have been idle."
"Have you come up with something new?" Aki asked.
"Yes I have it is a device that will spread the anti Phantom wave 100 miles in all directions." Cid said.
"That's great." Aki smiled.
"The only problem is that we have to set them up every hundred miles all around the world and that will take years." Cid said.
"Well then lets get on it." Aki said and stood.
As they were walking out of the room a flash of light filled the room.
"What was that?" Cid asked walking back in the room.
Steiner Betrix and Cilendrea were standing in the middle of the room.
"Who are you?" Cid asked.
"I'm Cilendrea and I have come seeking the help of Aki Ross to save my world." Cilendrea said.
"What is wrong with your world?" Aki asked.
"A great evil known as Kardes will destroy my world in one month." Cilendrea said.
"How can I save your world?" Aki asked.
"You are the fifth of seven princesses." Cilendrea said.
"I'm a princess?" Aki asked.
"Yes you are." Cilendrea said.
"Ok what do I need to do?" Aki asked.
"You must come with me." Cilendrea said. "These two will accompany you through the dangers that lie ahead."
"Ok lets go." Aki said. "Dr. Cid will you take over until I return?"

"No I am not." Betrix said.
"Then who sent you?" Paine asked pulling her sword.
She was met by Betrix drawing her sword and facing off with her. As they were about to cross swords Cilendrea entered the room and both Paine and Betrix's swords fell from their hands.
"You are not enemies I have brought these three here with me to ask for your help in saving my world." Cilendrea said.
"What do you mean?" Yuna asked.
"A great evil is gonna destroy my world in one month and only the seven princesses can save it." Cilendrea said.

"I did after I killed you." Cloud said.
"Thank you." Sephiroth said.
