Share with Me, One Love. . .One Eternity Chapter 1: Uneasiness

Efreet sat in his fiery dungeon like almost every other day with basically nothing to do. Such was the life of any Summon Spirit, the ultimate elemental power at their disposal, but with the curse of living for eternity. Lately, however, the Summon Spirit of fire had been uneasy. The Chosen of Sylvarant had begun her journey of regeneration and made it to the Tower of Salvation but had quit and had gone to Tethe'alla. Efreet had also learned from Undine that the summoner, Sheena, was making pacts with the Summon Spirits of Tethe'alla as well as Sylvarant, severing the mana links between the two worlds. This had come as a shock to the Summon Spirit for even knowledge of the parallel world was scarce in Sylvarant much less travels.

"It's true." Undine said to her fellow Summon Spirit. "The summoner that made the pacts with us is also making pacts in Tethe'alla. Volt has also made a pact with her and our link has been severed."

Efreet looked at the Maiden of Mist. She was not one to joke around much, not that the Summon Spirits even knew each other that well. Even so, the separation of the two worlds was not something to jest about.

"I thought you might want to know since you might be forced to see her again."

"So. . ." Efreet said after a long pause, "News of me reached out even to you way out here on Thoda Island!"

The woman smiled gently. "Yes. When something as unheard of as what you two did and when an entire city is brought to ruins it is likely everyone who had even the slightest knowledge will find out the story. It may have taken a few centuries, but someone confirmed the story for me."

"I see. . .well thank you for letting me know." The fire spirit was about to leave when Undine called out to him.

"Efreet, did you ever think it would turn out like this? Did you ever even stop and think of the consequences?"

"No, I don't think we realized exactly what we were dealing with, but I also think we believed we were able to face those consequences. . . apparently we were wrong."

"It may not be too late. You two still have an eternity to sort things out."

"No. It's. . .over between Celsius and I."

" I see. . . well take care." Undine waved as the fire spirit left.

That had been a few days ago. . .or had it been weeks? Or even months! He couldn't remember! To him, and maybe even the other Summon Spirits, time had no real value. He always has been and always will be. All he knew was that at any moment the mana link could be severed and he would be called to Tethe'alla and forced to see Celsius. What would happen when he met her after roughly 4,000 years? It was obvious that she still was repulsed by even the thought of him. They were connected by the link after all, and he could sometimes feel her emotions, strong emotions at least. And lately (3,000 years), he felt a LOT of . . . negative emotions coming from her.

As for now, it still felt like she was sleeping. Tethe'alla's Chosen must not have released her seal since the reversal Colette had made, and for that he was happy. He knew some of her best moments were when she was asleep, waiting to be awakened by the next chosen. He knew that during her hibernation she didn't have to be plagued by thoughts of him whenever she looked at herself.

After all, that was the reason thy despised each other. Whenever they looked at themselves they were reminded of the jovial times spent with the other and also the pain inflicted as well. He wished he could just let her have her rest. To him, the Disciple of Everlasting Ice deserved to slumber. She had been hurt beyond what the other Summon Spirits could comprehend. Even if it meant an eternity of restless nights and an age of days when all he could do is be tormented by thoughts of her, he would do that for her. He would put her feelings before his own because inside. . .he had yet to move on. He couldn't.

Most of the other Spirits had no need to worry about falling in love with their mortal enemy. Sylph was contradictory to Gnome so unless the three fairies had a thing for fat, obnoxious moles that wear ribbons, they probably wouldn't fall into an intimate relationship with the earth spirit. Undine's opposite was a large ball of electricity that held a bug-looking thing inside so they were scratched on that idea as well although he had heard that they had some intellectual talks together, but nothing more. Aska was too busy flying over the land to bother and Luna had once been interested in Origin, but they were not opposites. Either way, Shadow never left his temple anyway. So it was only natural Celsius and he would suffer and learn the hard way, there was no one to teach them.

In any case, he would be seeing her in the near future and it bothered him greatly. How would she react? Would she even speak to him? If he knew her at all, he would say she would put on her icy face and say something hostile or at the very least mean towards him in front of the pact maker and her companions. Was there a chance after the pact maker left she might wish to speak to him or make amends? If she were awake would she be tormented and lonely as he felt now? He was glad Undine had the gall to tell him. All the other Summon Spirits probably lacked the kindness or the tact to tell him. Undine excelled in those areas and also was very calm, should his temper overtake him. At least now he wouldn't be called unexpectedly to the ice temple and be totally stunned and surprised.

Yes, at least he wouldn't be unprepared and, looking on the bright side, it would give him an excuse to see her again . . .

A/N: Sooo . . . ? Is it ok? Can I go on? Is it just too stupid to go on? Can Lloyd bring out his wings whenever he wants just like Colette? What has that got to do with anything? He heh . . . don't ask 'cuz I don't know! Please review because that's the only thing that will make me continue or make me consider! And please remember. . .
