Flashback
White, glistening snow fell from the sky, freezing it's victims. 25 year old Raine, shivered as the cold wind hit her. Her husband, Oni, gave her a worried look. He and Raine were guardians to the summoner Ray.
"You ok Raine?" Oni asked.
"I'm cold," Raine replied.
"Let's take a rest here," Ray called to them, walking into a nearby cave. She sat down on the floor and hugged herself for warmth.
"Raine, I think you should go home," Oni said, pushing back his dark brown hair, showing his crimson eyes.
"B-but ..." Raine started.
"I agree, the baby won't survive," Ray added, smoothing out her knee-length, crimson skirt.
Raine sighed, she couldn't argue with that. "Good luck, I'm going to miss you," Raine said, nearing tears.
"Thank you, we'll miss you too," Ray sniffed, hugging her guardian ... her friend.
Raine turned to Oni, she hugged him tightly. Tears fell silently down her pale cheeks, landing on Oni's shoulder. "Be safe, I love you," He whispered to her.
"I love you to!" She sobbed into his shoulder.
When they had exited the cave, they said their final goodbyes before going their separate ways, Ray and Oni to Zanarkand, Raine to Besaid Island. Ray waved to her former guardian, her shoulder-length, layered blonde hair blowing in the wind. She smiled softly, her bright blue eyes sincere. Raine returned the smile and looked at her husband with a sad expression. 'He'll never see the baby grow up ...' She thought sadly. Raine watched them disappear into the blizzard, tears still falling. She turned and walked down the mountain, wiping her eyes as she went.
It was nearly 3 months later when the calm arrived. Raine had mixed emotions, she was so happy, hopeful and proud yet sad and lonely. She missed Oni and Ray, they were brilliant people.
End Flashback
Raine smiled sadly at the thought, it had been 5 years since then and she now had a 5 year old daughter.
It was late afternoon and they were both practicing their black magic on the beach. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly and the water was calm.
"Mummy! Look!" Lulu cried as successfully completed a fire spell.
"Well done Lulu!" Raine smiled proudly.
"I want to see a water spell," Lulu said eagerly.
Raine concentrated hard and water swirled in front of them. It was when the water spell died away that Raine first saw the tidal wave. She screamed and tried to pull Lulu out of the way but Lulu stayed in her position.
"Daddy," Lulu whispered softly.
Raine froze, if Oni was coming ... he would be sin. "Lulu, we have to go!!!" Raine yelled. The water fell down and an aeon shot out from it.
"The final aeon, daddy ..." Lulu muttered. The aeon approached her and leaned it's head towards Lulu. Stretching out her hand, she stroked it. Raine stepped forward and softly touched the aeon, her brown eyes fixed with his crimson stare.
"Oni ..."
"Daddy ..."
Raine wished the moment could last forever, the whole family together. She knew that she and Lulu had to leave though, Oni was destined to be Sin.
"Lulu! Come one!" Raine shouted, pulling Lulu away. The aeon gave the two a look as if it was saying sorry. Raine knew what was coming and she was going to keep Lulu safe, no matter what the cost.
Lulu cried out in shock as the aeon started to glow and transform. Raine acted quickly, casting an aeroga spell to take her and Lulu back to the village.
"Sin!!! Sin is coming!" Raine bellowed when they arrived at the village.
There was a mass panic and warriors, mages and summoners ran forward to fight off the beast. Raine knelt down to Lulu's height and gripped her daughter's shoulders.
"Go to the temple and hide somewhere safe, don't argue with me, just go," Raine instructed.
Lulu hugged her mother tightly and cried, feeling her mother's long, silky, black hair.
"Don't worry, you'll be safe," Raine said softly.
"But what about you?" Lulu asked.
"I'll be fine," Raine smiled.
Lulu sniffed and ran towards the temple. She hid behind a pillar and watched the battle. Sin approached and started to attack the people. White mages desperately healed while the black mages fought. The warriors charged, screaming and shouting. Bodies lay on the ground, bleeding, dead and unconscious. Lulu watched her mother cast her spells and dodge attacks. Sin looked hardly affected by the spells and the slashing of swords. Sin hit the temple, and it fell down, the people inside fleeing.
Sin made one last attack before leaving, they were bodies covered in blood everywhere, people injured and dying some already dead ...
"Mummy!" Lulu yelled, running forward, desperately searching for her mother. People came out of their hiding places and the temple. Everyone was crying, it was a catastrophe, everything was destroyed, houses were ripped apart, the flowers crushed, trees knocked over.
Lulu froze and silent tears fell from her eyes when she saw the person in front of her. Dead. With long, black silky hair and brown eyes ...
There were funerals and flowers to those who had sacrificed their lives. It was a day no one would forget, especially the orphaned 5 year old ...
