Thanks to Kingdark for betaing again.

He hated this. Sleeping in a timeless sleep. Watching his life so far replay before his eyes, both the good and the bad memories. Only able to talk to his faithful Aeon Carbuncle whenever someone was near the entrance of his resting-place. He didn't have the energy to talk to the rest of the Aeons he had impressed, willing to fight along with him when he was needed. Until the time he was needed, he would sleep, putting his energy into keeping Them trapped, for they would awake the Great One. The ever faithful and loyal son of Jenova. Who wished not to destroy the planet, but to enslave it, bending it to her will.

The dreams would came in a random order, sometimes when he was training in Balamb Garden, under Squall Leonheart.

"Ashura, wait up!" an almost white haired boy ran up to him as he was sneaking back to his room after grabbing some meat from the canteen.

"Aww, come on Li. I need to hurry back to my room, forgot my book for class." He said looking into playful stormy blue eyes. The boy was only a few months younger then him (or so everyone thought) but Li Heartilly would pass for someone a lot younger; and with white thigh length wavy blonde hair he was often confused for a girl form behind.

"You really aren't with it are you? We have hand-to-hand combat with Teacher Zell for the next two hours. Do I have to remind you of everything?" He said with small grin lighting up his face. Being the only cousin of the commanders' wife, who also happened to be a sorceress, meant he got admittance a lot easier then some people into the Garden, but it also meant people expected more from him.

While the warriors of this time could summon the Aeons, who they called Guardian Forces, Ashura didn't have to worry about the side effect of summoning. To summon something as powerful as the Aeons, you have to give them something in return; because the people who become Aeons lose most of their memorise, they wish to see other peoples experiences, thus the reason of taking their host memorise. Summoners allow their Aeons to look though their eyes whenever the Aeons wish and give up a small amount of magic to finish summoning them.

But because of this advantage he though it would be best to focus on other ways of fighting. Students were allowed to focus on two types of fighting, one type of magic and had to take courses on first aid, both magi based, natural and man made ways. Ashura himself had decided on hand-to-hand combat and the samurai style of sword fighting. As for the magic he chose to study Blue magic, a mix of both black and white magic, but was mostly used by monsters in the wild. His roommate and best friend on the other hand fought along side his pet. Kisa, a Queen Coeurl, was given to him by Rinoa, the only down side to this was when Kisa passed out in a battle, Li would go Berserker, fighting like an animal; because of this he also had to do a hand-to-hand course. Li also went to his Blue magic classes, where they had became closer friends. They also had to do classes a normal school had; math, science, languages and politics.

Grinning at his friend, Ashura quickly turned and headed back to their room, with Li in hot pursuit. Quickly opening their room door, Ashura threw some dried meat into the room, where Carbuncle quickly eat it. Turning around he felt Li crash into him, sending both to the floor, where their lips meet by accident.

He remembered that day as one of the happiness of his life. It was also one of the first memorise his love would remember of their many passed lives when they reacted maturity. He would never forget the blush on his friends' face as he kissed him again, this time on purpose.

The smile that lit his face as he slept was soon replaced by a frown as another memory appeared before his eyes.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

He thought this day would be a happy one. It was his sixth birthday and when he woke up he saw the airship his family had left on a year ago arrive back. It was battered and falling apart, making it seem like a miracle it still flew; but he just knew it was the one his family had taken on their journey. Not bothering to change out of his pale blue night-clothes, he made a dash for the landing port in his Uncles' Castle. He was lucky that he didn't have to go though any of the districts for today was the annual Festival of the Hunt; so it was dangerous to go running outside. It didn't take long before Carbuncle was running along with him.

When he got to the doors lending to the landing strip, he found it to be blocked by people wanting to meet the Queen and King of Alexandria and their own princess, along with the worlds heroes, who saved them form being destroyed by monsters from another world. He quickly ran between the adults' legs before he stopped short. People were carrying bodies off the airship; even though he hadn't seen them for a year, he knew who they were. The small teenage body of Eiko, the large body of Amarant, carried by six people, the toned body of Steiner, who had no armour on, the rat shaped body of Freya, the huge body of Quina who looked deflated; but the worst thing was the burnt bodies of his parents. The only reason he know it was them was the magic he could always feel around them, even though it was slowly fading. It seemed that there was only one saviour. A healer gently carried the small shape that was Vivi, as another cast spells to heal him.

More and more bodies were carried out. It seemed like his father's and Vivi's entire races where there; an entire city's population lifted from the large airship. He only heard of few things that where being said, the festival being cancelled, a three-day mourning period and then Ashura being crowned king of Alexandria and Prince of Lindblum. He was carried out by a healer when they saw he was there, looking in shock at his family, who he never got to see off and say he loved them. He had many things that where unsaid when they left.

The next few days were a blur to Ashura, he was in such a stead of shock that even in his perfect memories he couldn't remember what happened. It was only when a large crown was placed on his head and Carbuncle rubbing against his stomach did he come out of the shock and start crying. No one could blame him and some even admired him for crying in public. Things could only get worst.

And they did. The attack came so quickly that no one understood what was happening until it was too late. One-minute Alexandria was standing tall and proud, the next it was falling around the people to the ground. Not knowing what to do and being scared out of his mind, Ashura grabbed Vivi who was only allowed out of the Hospital for the Crowning of the King, while Carbuncle used his magic to protect them.

He forced the memory to stop there. Only two of his friends and family had came out alive form that awful attacked. More flashes of his past flew by his eyes; sitting on his mother's knee as she talked about politics, training against various friends, seeing those people die; sitting or laying down next to a blue eyed, blonde haired girl or boy, who's aura was always the same, showing they were reincarnations of the same person. There were flashes of fighting along with friends, both mortal and the Aeons. Watching as enemies where sealed away, never to be found, but with the fear someone might in the future awaken them. Being held down as someone cut of his horn, while starring at a naked purple eyed man in a green tank.

Then they stopped. He was in a field of yellow and purple flowers. The sky was a bright white, so was the ground between the flowers. Light seemed to come for everywhere yet nowhere at the same time.

"Ashura."

A voice was calling him, softly trying to chance his attention. Looking around him, he only saw a grey wolf, its purple eyes starring into his. Letting its head fall back it let out a howl, as if greeting a friend.

"You've finally come." He felt a small slim hand touch his shoulder. Turning around, he saw one of the most beautiful women to walk the earth. Pale green eyes looked down at him, the face the eyes rested on was pale oval shaped, with a bottom lip slightly fuller then the top, a small upturned noise. Just looking at the face of her could calm you down and make you feel at peace. She wore a pale pink button up dress, soft brown boots and a pink cardigan. Her long brown hair was in a plait tried off with a pink ribbon. Everything about her was pale and calm, making her look like a gift from a god. She was an ancient.

"Aeris" he said.

"It's time."

"Time for what?"

"To wake up silly. They're waiting for you. He's waiting for you." She said before vanishing into the whiteness.

"Say hi to Spiky for me." He turned to look at the speaker. It was the purple-eyed man. He had a sad smile on his face, even his long spiky haired fell limp. The clothes he wore seemed military, a dark uniform that showed how strong he was when he died.

"Zack." In the time it took to blink, Zack to did a vanishing act. He felt muscle's that had been still for to start to ache as feeling slowly returned to his body. He felt a pull as he started to wake up. Aeris might not have said it, but just by telling him to wake up, he knew something was wrong in the world. Something powerful and dangerous is about to happen to risk wakening them up.
