Disclaimer: I do not own FF, but if I did the story would be less predictable, you all know it.

Anyway, second day, second chapter


One foot in front of the other she had walked for weeks, killing animals and eating roots for food, she was even thinner now as she walked across the Esther landscape, slowly. She knew she could not go to that city…. She would never survive… after all that had happened in the last few weeks her entire body felt like it was about to come unstitched and fall apart. The pain was bearable physically but her soul was aflame. She fingered the trailing edge of the blade on her back as she walked, her top long ago abandoned to the heat she was sure she smelled foul… but there was naught she could do. Just one foot in front of the other. She mused about it all, what would she do… I mean, there was no way they would let her back. No how…. Not after what they had done… but… her promise… she had to go through with it.

She stood a little straighter wearing only her pants boots and bra she was still hot, her pale skin burned badly she suspected. She felt tingly; it had been a while since she had last found fresh water…. And she was running out of water spells…. It was not looking good. All she could do was trudge and hope through the quiet and strange surroundings. Right to the chameleonic barrier and through it and the Great Salt lake, sooner than she could think of she was standing at the edge of the tracks out into the ocean, she fell to her knees… she Could do it…. No use giving up now… she collected herself slowly, tightened her belt against her grumbling stomach and pressed forward with the tenacity only the Silver haired woman could portray. Thought trains formed however running the different likely scenarios, and tell the truth none looked well. Getting anywhere near the garden would be hard enough let alone infiltrating close enough to one of their old classmates and then rises the problem of getting them to listen... this began to become more and more difficult with each added level of obstacles, but she would find a way. She had managed to survive Lunatic Pandora she could gain entry to one little building. Yeah and while she was dreaming she wanted a new eye patch encrusted with gems.

One step at a time she told herself the first was reaching the mainland and to that she had to get across the railroad bridge... To Fisherman's Horizon. Thunder crashed out in the distance dark clouds gathering... just great...


A/N: I have a review already! Yay! I promise it will get more interesting as the story develops... as for length there is only so much I can talk about between the major events. Sorry!
