AN- I am very sorry, for taking so long and for this pathectic excuse for a chapter. Most of this was inspired by 'Forever Rachael' from Final Fantasy 6.

The first she knew of them was the crunch of a ship's hull smashing into
the island. A crunch, and then a scream, and the sound of someone yelling.

'Fern! It's okay! It's not gonna kill you!'

'Arrgghh!!! Arrgghh!! Get that disgusting thing away from me! Ew! It's all
slimy! Kill it! KILL IT!!'

'Fern! Jeez! Stop panicking! Cast a spell or something!'

'Eww, ew!'

'You two are useless! PYRUM!'

Three fireballs shot out of the sky and whacked into a small slimy
creature, reducing it to a small, gently smouldering, pile of dark green
goo.

'Arrggghh! You two are so incompetent!'

Fina, curious as to who would land on the island, stood up, smoothing her
dress down carefully, and began to walk towards the source of the noise,
with Cupil orbiting her head, squeaking wildly.

In a small clearing there stood three people.

A small ginger haired girl wearing a long white blouse, and a long blue
skirt with a muddy hem.

Another, taller girl, with long blue hair swept back in a rough ponytail,
and white bangs shielding her eyes from view.

And another, a tall boy with spiky brown hair, and a crescent scar under
his eye.

'That scar...... I know you......'

A flash of a cutlass edge in the bright sunlight. A laugh, a smile, a face
always turned towards the sun......

'But that day...... didn't you die? I saw you......I saw the light fade from your
eyes...I saw your body fall into the deeps of the skies......

'And yet... can this be you?'

The boy stepped forwards, a confused look on his face.

'Who are you? Is this your home?'

Fina blinked, and her eyes refocused on the boy.

'It was once my home, I think. I have been here for a long time.' She
shrugged. 'Who I am is not important. Who are you?'

The boy grinned widely, and held out his hand.

'Well, whoever you are, it's great to meet you. I'm Fex.'
