Chapter 9: It's too late
We finally were there, Kilika Port. This was a sad moment. People were on there knees, crying that there love ones could not survive Sins Attack. Everyone on the boat sat and watched the horrible Tragedy. Some people on the ship had love ones that lived in Kilika Port but they had lost their strength to go search for them. There wasn't to much left of Kilika Port.
"I will defeat sin" I said "I must deafeat sin"
we all went off the ship to go comfort the survivors.
"Please, cast the sending for our lost lives, Black Mage"
"Okay, take me to them" I said
The old woman took me to a dock with caskets in the water all together with red roses around each one of them.
"Uh, what's a sending?" Tidus asked Lulu "are we going somewhere?"
"You truly are clueless, are you sure it's just your memory that's the problem?" asked Lulu "The dead need guidance"
Tidus looked at Lulu than Sandra
"Filled with grief over there own death. They refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, resent these still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living. Sad isn't it?" Lulu asked "The sending takes them to the Farplane. Where they may rest in peace.
"Black Mages do this?" asked Tidus
Lulu nodded slowly
"It must be tough, being a Black Mage." Said Tidus
"Sandra chose her path. She knew from the beginning what it meant. All we can do is protect her along the way, until the end" said Lulu
"Until, the…..end?" asked tidus "what's the end?"
Lulu shook her head and rolled her eyes
"Until she defeats sin
They both stopped talking and watched me begin the sending.
I slowly walked to the edge of the dock ready to cast the sending. I gently put my right fool on the water but my foot did not sink to the ocean floor. I could actually walk on water. The sun was setting and it unleashed a golden touch among the sky and reflecting upon the water. The reflection I saw was people on there knees, crying.
As I walked in the middle of the circle of red caskets, I formed a big wave and it pushed high into the air and a wonderfully pink light came from the wave below my feet. I twirled my long stick of magic in the air and a glittery circle of light came from the caskets and they were circling around me, thanking me for sending them off to the farplanes to rest.
I ran up to Lulu
"I hope….I hope I did okay"
"you did very well" lulu replied "they've reached the farplane by now. But….no years next time, hm?
I wish there would never be a next time. No more people being killed by sin. No more sendings for me. Everyone stood there watching me. It was strange, and somehow horrifying. I never wanted to do it again.
Tidus, Alice and wakka were totally shocked of what they had just seen. All three walked up to me.
"Sandra, that was amazing." Alice said patting me on the back.
"Now we travel to the temple and pray" Said Lulu "first we have to pass through Kilika woods and we will be there but for now lets rest until morning comes
As we started walking down the broken dock. I turned to find Wakka and Alice holding hands walking behind us. I felt so happy for her.
