Hearts in Ice
Chapter Two: 1000 Years Later
Summary: After she fights along side Lady Yunalesca in the first defeat of Sin, and one thousand years of battles afterward, Shiva's remaining human emotions are lying dormant within her. Yu Yevon finds out that Dina became Shiva, and comes to Macalania to taunt her. Will she have a chance to cease dreaming? Or does Yu have other plans?
Note: Thank you for the two reviews I received! I don't usually update until I have five reviews, but I have a very eager reviewer! CoughT9Cough. Anyway, Tidus and Shiva will come in chapter four. But it will come!
Footsteps echoed through the icy corridors of the Ice Palace. Slender blue fingers ran along the crystal like walls, tracing the patterns etched within them. Shiva's blue eyes ran over the corridor, making the Aeon smile to herself. One thousand years ago, she was a young priestess by the name of Dina. She was engaged to the great Yu Yevon, but after finding out about his evil intentions, she joined the original Ice Queen to vanquish Sin. She served Lady Yunalesca in her defeat of Sin when the creature first appeared, and many other Summoners after that. Ten years ago, she served a man named Braska, and his guardians Auron; a warrior monk who was banished from the Temple of Bevelle after refusing the priest's daughter's hand. Then there was Jecht. He would talk to Shiva about his home in Zanarkand, his son and wife, and playing Blitzball.
This was the first time a Summoner and his guardians let her stay and have conversations with them. Shiva much enjoyed hearing about Jecht's son, Tidus. He said he was a crybaby most of the time, and probably would never grow into a star Blitzball player like he was. But, even with the close relationship the four had, Shiva never talked about her past. She stopped abruptly in the middle of a large room, and sighed. She knew that the time had arrived for Sin to appear again, and that she would have to fight along side another Summoner with more male guardians. The fighting wasn't the problem, or serving the Summoner, by the guardians leered at her with lustful gazes that made her sick. But she had to be strong, and fight until Sin was gone.
Two guards bowed to her and opened the large doors of the throne room and allowed her entrance. They shut the doors behind her to give the Queen the privacy she need, that was when a rich masculine voice filled her senses. It was a prayer coming from the Chamber of the Fayth. Shiva arose once again, her cloak tied around her neck and billowing behind her. The Ice Palace was in another dimension, like the other Aeon's homes, but each had a portal in a special room that allowed them to teleport from anywhere to and from Spira back to their homes. She stepped on the glowing portal and closed her eyes. Years turned into seconds as Shiva was teleported from her dimension into the Chamber of the Fayth in Macalania. She came down from the ceiling and stood in the middle of the Fayth Dome, where Dina's body lay.
Her brown hair was done in the style Shiva's was, and lay fanned out from her face down body. The bracelet and armguards decorated her arms like they were now on her new form. Her hair tumbled down to her waist again, and her eyes widened when she saw the person that was supposed to be a Summoner. It was Yu Yevon, who looked untouched by the cruel hand of time. His eyes were still emerald cut green, his hair still that rich coco brown. Shiva's eyes showed no emotion when he stood and smiled at her.
"It's been a while, Dina."
He tried to approach her, but she sent a powerful Blizzara spell towards him. He laughed, sending the Ice Queen into a rage.
"Feisty as ever I see. Although I must say, you have given me the cold shoulder for about a millennium now. Every since the true Shiva told you of my plans and had you bond with her."
Shiva snorted very in a very un-ladylike manner at his poor since of humor and trifle ways of toying with her anger. He was the cause of her loneliness, the cause of her and her fellow Aeons having to dream this dream of never ending sorrow. But it was her choice to join with Shiva, even though she knew she could never find the true love of her life and raise a family of her own.
"Why are you having us dream?! Why must we continue doing this for you?"
Yu laughed again, this time it was laced with a deadly venom that took it's toll on Shiva's ears, and Dina's heart.
"Heh, I can hear Shiva's voice intertwining with your own. I must say it sounds lovely for two beauties voices to combine into an even more beautiful shell."
He turned to her again, blue lightning flashed in her eyes.
"Isn't it obvious? Spira's people are too gullible, believing that I was a link to the gods. And the Temples were merely a decoration in my plans to take over all of Spira."
His words make her stomach tie in knots of anger and worry.
"We are not dreaming for you anymore!"
She put her fingers to her lips, preparing herself to launch Diamond Dust, but he stopped her with his next words...This was definitely not an empty threat.
"If the Aeons do not dream, and keep my dream world alive, I will pull Sin back. You must be thinking that it will be alright if Sin leaves, correct? But it won't be. I will drain Spira of it's energy, let the cities fall into ruin. Let the crops shrivel and die, allow poison to pour itself into the water ways. And finally allow vast amounts of fiends to spread across the land, feeding on the weakened people of Spira. Now do you still refuse to dream?"
Shiva sunk to her knees, for she knew she couldn't stop him now. He was threatening the people, the main reason she joined with Shiva in the first place.
"Leave my Temple...At once."
She allowed herself to be drawn back into the portal, leaving Yu Yevon behind. He smiled to himself as the Ice Goddess disappeared.
"Now with her little rebellion cast aside, my plans will continue without fail."
He chuckled and looked down at Dina's body under the Fayth Dome. Yu knelt and started to stroke the crystal, only to have an unbearable cold sensation run through his arm. He hissed and left the Chamber.
END- Yes, I know it's short, but I have a really bad cramp in my hands from writing in English today! Please forgive me! I will do chapter three tomorrow! Don't forget to review!!!
