Born a Knight

Chapter one: My Fate My life

Cid sat on the edge of a stony cliff edge, enjoying the fresh air breeze that blew up to the very top of Mount Fooji. He just finished a small sparing match with a invisible enemy that didn't exist but he sat there feeling victorious over the non existing enemy.

Cid felt slightly chilled as the breeze cooled his sweaty features, he tried to lessen it slightly by drying his forehead with his sleeve and then ran a hand through his jet black hair. Cid eyed the horizon as the sun escaped behind it ever so slowly, coward Cid thought considering he promised his father to be back before it got dark. Back in Mizuho there was no dumb curfew there was just him and Taki doing what they wanted to do when they wanted, but of course that's not going to happen anymore.

Cid sat back down he still had more thoughts to process before he went home, Taki. Cid totally wanted to be back in Mizuho with her and he wanted to forget about going back home and going to work tomorrow. 'Ah Crap.' Cid thought bitterly as he just remembered his job, by tomorrow Cid would official start his job as a knight to the realm and in other words he was going to stand around and look like an idiot in the name of Tethe'alla.

Cid sat there in a trance state of mind unaware of anything but what he was focusing on. It was something he learned to do back in Mizuho it was a form of meditation but you were suppose to use it to read your opponents next move or to sense other things. But Cid learned to use it to think without being disturbed, but then again who the hell would disturb him wile he was on the top of Mount Fooji? Better safe than sorry.

Cid finally feeling the temperature drop slightly snapped out of his trance and realized how dark it really had gotten, it didn't bother him much because he been in worse weather before. But if it weren't for his fathers rules he probably would have stayed there the night and probably the next day after that and maybe even longer, but he didn't feel like angering his father so he collected his things and trudged his way down the criss cross pathways towards Meltokio.

Cid still thought cynically about the whole idea of having to go to work tomorrow and how everything was not going his way. If his father even heard one of these cynical thoughts he would probably slap him and say 'quit being a girl about and think like a man!' but that may have just been some more of Cid's wild imagination at work. Like his father would hit him, his father rally believed that violence should be the last resort in any situation, but lets just say not every situation should be handled like his fathers teachings, because if they were what use would there be for an army.

Cid approached the gates as they started to close he just kept causally walking as if there weren't huge doors to have to walk through but as by some miracle of Martel he managed to walk in and the huge doors slammed behind him. 'Right on time.' Cid thought with a grin of satisfaction as he kept on his way home.

Cid kept his steady pace up the grand staircase to the upper levels of Meltokio, up more stairs, took a right at the small hedge maze and into the rich part of town. Cid walked the stone pathways and alleys in till he found his fathers' house. It was a very plain green looking thing with white windows. Cid never considered this location his home, heck he never considered any place his home yet.

"I'm home dad." Cid spoke into the empty living room. "Dad Cid's home." Said Anthony from the kitchen. Cid made his way to the back of the house where the kitchen was located he opened the door to find his younger brother Anthony trying to feed Mavis.

"Hey Anthony let me do that you get ready for bed." His younger brother gratefully gave up the spoon full of tomato soup and went to the living room to crumble on the couch because he had to wake up right on the dime and take off for whenever they came to take him because tomorrow he would start his training at the SE Abbey. He was going to become one of the many men in the Papacies Legion and hopefully one of the few to become a Cardinal Knight.

Cid found feeding his youngest sister Mavis the easiest thing in the world but then again he was probably one of the few older siblings who actually considered her part of the family. The rest actually avoided her whenever possible except for Elizabeth and his father. He finished with Mavis and put her in her crib upstairs in Fredrick's room, she easily fell asleep, Cid put a small blanket over her and felt that nothing bad was going on in the world, nothing.

Cid began to walk out to the back yard were his mothers grave was at and without even knowing he knew his father would be there praying to Martel. Cid strongly questioned why his dad prayed to Martel, the word was already out she was a hoax the whole religion was. But there was his father Sir Fredrick Moore knelling in front of Jenifer Moore's grave murmuring the prayer.

Cid was about to leave his father to it when. "You should pray with me once?" His father said as he raised from the ground. "But sometimes I forget you don't believe."

"Dad you know Martel was…" He began before his father cut him off.

"Just because Martel wasn't a real goddess doesn't mean she wasn't a good person." He said as he turned to face his son. He ran a finger and a thumb through his goatee and opened his mouth to speak but Cid beat him to it.

"I know she was a good person but to the point of worshiping her."

"Yes I do take it slightly far but I like to think that Jenifer and Martel are in the same place having a blissful time together." He said as he put a small smile on his face to give the impression this wasn't an argument.

"Alright maybe some other time." Cid said finally realizing that this wasn't an argument and put on a smile of his own.

"I'll keep you to that word Sir Moore."

They both gave a small chuckle. Fredrick approached his son and wrapped an arm around him, most people who saw them didn't know they were father and son because of their appearance one had jet black hair the other brown. Other than the hair they were father and son but they didn't look at it like that at all.

"Come have a small walk with your old man." Fredrick asked his son but it came off more like an order than a question.

"Sure dad." Cid said acceptingly as he walked with his father side by side. They walked in silence around they block just smiling till they reached there house again. "Well you got a big day tomorrow better get some R and R son." Fredrick said as he patted his sons shoulder.

"Good night dad." Cid said to his father as he entered the house and trudged up the stairs and into his younger brother's room by accident and fell on the bed and fell asleep.
