Chapter 1
I looked up to the sky and felt the warm breeze of the new spring. The smell of flowers and the grass were mixed with freshly baked goods that venders were selling in the streets of Payon.
We had finally returned to the peaceful place...somewhere we now considered as a small Heaven. Who could blame us? We had been through Hell and back. We lost more than half of our companions...
Just a week ago, a large funeral was held in honor and memory of those men...Everyone cried and wished them Guardian Angels in Heaven. It was also on this very day that Prontera and Payon made an alliance. With Tobie gone, it seemed all the corruption in the governing of Prontera lifted. It was a sunny day...Jaylor was watching for sure.
"Hikaru!" Raisu calls from afar wearing casual clothing that suited the warm weather. She waved for me to come. "Hurry up! It's about to start!" I stood up quickly and patted the dirt from my back and rushed towards her. "Miroku and Skipp wouldn't want us to miss their big day!" I smiled and nodded.
"Of course not." I replied, smiling. We mounted our Pecos who also were released of armor and rode to the ship leaving for Jawaii.
Crono and everyone were on the ship already. They chatted happily as the ship started to take off.
"ALL ABOARD!" The captain yelled as the ship was pushed from the dock.
We enjoyed our time on board and the food available. It was a nice change from the simple food we had on our trip in Niffleheim. We stopped at Amatsu once to pick up more people on the way. There was an hour break, so the whole Valkyrie's Requiem went on shore and ate at the famous sushi restaurant there. It was delicious.
We finally reached Jawaii and fireworks were shot up in the air as the couple walked onto shore. The natives there cheered and put chains of flowers around their necks. We walked to a tall mountain where a wedding priest stood with his book ready.
We all took our places and the ceremony began. Some people were even crying!
"Dearly Beloved..." The priest starts the long ceremony to unite the couple. The place was beautiful and glowed in a pink light. After the ceremony, everyone cheered and jumped, throwing confetti. Cake was served along with many other wonderful food. As Miroku noted in his little speech to everyone, Dante was responsible to the wonderful food.
"Wonderful night, huh?" Raisu says as she came to my side. "The fireworks never seem to stop."
"Like the miracles within Valkyrie's Requiem." I looked at her and she smiles back at me. "I thank you for letting me join this team."
"And thank you for being a wonderful contribution!" We just stood there against the balcony listening to the music and watching the fireworks...for what seemed like forever.
