A L'cie's Life
Critique welcomed. Yes, I am still alive.
After Lightning explained the reason why she was in the Vestige, Amelia began to withdraw from the others, the gears in her brain working overtime. How were they supposed to know where her sister was? It could take at least two days, and time was something they didn't have. Some bluish monstrosities started appearing at the top of a stairwell, making Amelia quietly shrink behind Lightning.
"Excuse you, but I would like for you to get from behind me. Now." Amelia stood up, casting nervous glances at the monsters.
"Are those Cie'th?"
"Yeah, l'cie who failed their Focus. My sister is a L'cie." Well. Didn't that beat all? "And the only salvation they have is destruction." Sure, sounds like a plan, because if I had the the choice between Cie'th City and Crystallization Corner, I would choose crystallization any day! Amelia thought rather sarcastically. There is no other way to be free of the L'cie curse, so anything that can spare the L'cie a shred of their humanity is the only option. Even eternal servitude to a Fal'cie. Sazh questioned Lightning about her sister's Focus, to only find out that Lightning didn't know. He reasoned that she might be a Cie'th now, depending on her Focus. That just pissed Lightning off. Amelia was silently praying that Lightning's sister was still human when they get to her. For some reason, she doubted that the sergeant wouldn't be able to cope if her sister became a Cie'th. But even so, Sazh was right. Lightning's sister wasn't a human anymore.
