NOTE TO READERS: Hi, Readers! Sorry, this took so long. I haven't had much time to write my fanfics lately.Anyway, I'm trying to tell about both event areas (Desert Palace and Lindblum) in the same chapter (no more alternating chapters unless I have some sort of writer's block). Read & Review! Extra spacing between paragraphs means scene/time transitions. Oh, and I don't own Final Fantasy IX, any of the characters, etc.
DISCLAIMER: If you didn't read the Note to Readers here it is again: I don't own the Final Fantasy IX, any of the characters, etc. I just own the fanfic.
CHAPTER 12: How Enlightening…
"Hm… What if I sleep on the ground with the pillow and you sleep on the bed with the blanket?" Blank ponders aloud.
"I'm not really sure if that's fair, making a guest sleep on a marble floor, do you?" Kuja replies.
"Well, how about if I use the blanket, too?" Blank suggests, "I'm used to sleeping on hard floors occasionally. It comes with being a thief."
The silver-haired Genome gives a thoughtful look for a moment, then smiles, "Well…"
Reinheit smiles and gives Kim, Brianna, and Alicia each a reunion hug (it was obvious Kim got a bigger hug, as she had to ask him not to squeeze her so hard), "I'm glad to see you guys again. You know, Alicia, Ereignis really misses someone sane to talk to; and Brianna, Kurios misses playing pranks with you. Neither one of them admit it because of the incident, though," the redhead adds, trying not to make them expect forgiveness too soon.
"I'm surprised that even you would forgive us," Brianna replies, "Even if you are the most understanding of the sub-Eidolons, what we did would be hard for any of them to forgive."
Vivi made a motion that could be translated into raising an eyebrow, "What's a sub-Eidolon? I've never heard of one before…"
"It's when an Eidolon creates a subordinate with powers similar to an Eidolon. Each of them have an Eidolon attack for their respective personality," Alicia explains.
"In other words, we're dealing with the lackeys of Eidolons?" Amarant inquires.
"Yeah, that's right. We became independent from the Eidolons a long time ago, though," Reinheit replies, "Since we're immortal, they think we'll get bored and come crawling back to serve them. Technically the girls just repeated history."
"Wait, if you guys are immortal, then there's no way to defeat them or you, right?" Zidane asks, hoping that he didn't mean what he said.
"We, may be immortal, but we can still get killed. It's just that we don't die of natural causes," the redhead answers.
"That is definite relief," Garnet comments, "Now all we need is a plan. Let us go back to Lindblum and start planning."
Wow, Chapter 12 is a mini-chapter… I've only written puny mini-chapters for two of my fanfics. That's sad… Oh well, Read & Review!
