CHAPTER TWO

FROM THIS MOMENT ON

Tan: Wow! Who lived in this place? It's dusty!

Lhasa: I heard that a Qu lived here once.

Dane: A Qu?

Lhasa: Qus are those humanoids that are friendly. They have a passion for food, which explains their large bodies, and their tongues are long and are visible on the outside.

Dane: I know what a Qu is. I want to know is why would he live alone and in this cave? Weren't they supposed to live in marshes because of the frogs?

Lhasa: It's because that this Qu is different. He chose to live alone after all.

Tan: So his name is Vivi?

Lhasa: What gave you that idea?

Tan: There are writings on the wall, if you haven't noticed. (while pointing at the writings)

Lhasa: Could this be Vivi? The Great Black Mage?

Tan: Who is this Vivi guy?

Lhasa: Vivi was the first black mage to have the consciousness of a human; he fought alongside other brave warriors. After the fight about a year or so he died after he found a new classification of mages, the green mages.

Tan: So why don't I know of this?

Dane: It's because there were no records of this event ever happening, supposedly. Isn't that right?

Lhasa: Well, you are correct.

Tan: So why do you know of these things?
Lhasa: Because of the wind, the earth, all of the elements communed with me at that time. They told me of what happened. But I was only beginning to awaken my Elementalist ability, so it was kind of choppy.

Tan: Oh. But I thought the Elementalists are descendants of the black mages?

Lhasa: Because the academes cannot explain it, they just deceived the people. The truth is that the elementalists existed long before the black mages, so the ones that manufactured the mages must have seen an elementalist in action.

Tan: Oh.

Dane: Enough chitchat. We must plan what to do from this moment on. Watts proceed with the planning.

In Lindblum…

Head Soldier: The king of Burmecia, King Ferdinand Tides along with Prince Puck Tides!

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds)

HS: The queen of Treno, Queen Stella Synod along with lady Melissa Campbell!

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds)

HS: The king and queen of Alexandria, King Zidane Tribal and Queen Garnet Alexandrios Tribal alongside them Master Aldebert Steiner, Lady Beatrix Steiner, Master Riley Steiner, Mimi Orientier, Doctor Tot and Prince Sine Tribal!

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds)

HS: Now gracing us with their presence is the Lindblum royal family, Regent Cid Fabool IX, Queen Hilda Fabool and Lady Eiko Carol Fabool.

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds loudly)

(Everyone seats at each one's respective places)

Cid: COUGHS To all those who have are gathered during this day of glory and solidarity, I welcome you to the kingdom of Lindblum.

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds)

Cid: We are all gathered here today for one purpose: to witness the signing of the "Minimizing of the Mist Treaty".

Lindblum Nobles: (applauds)

Cid: I shall now read the contents of the treaty.

Lindblum Nobles: (listens)

Cid: On this glorious day of the month of hunt (equivalent to February), we are all gathered to witness the signing of a treaty that will help not only the mist continent but also the whole of Gaia.

The treaty will be limited only to the evil forest and the stellazios. Using the stellazios we will attract the mist to the evil forest…

Protester: (barges in) but we all know that the stellazios contains magical beings further advanced than that of the eidolons, no one knows their powers, or the effects that they will have on the whole world if we activate their powers to attract the mist!

Cid: And what will be your name?

Protester: Giovanna de Cartes, your highness. (While genuflecting)

Cid: Giovanna, to what evidence does your heavy accusations originates from?

Giovanna: From what has happened 5 000 years ago to a fallen civilization, Ivalice.

Cid: This Ivalice that you speak, its nothing but an old tale that was passed from generation to generation, isn't that right?

Giovanna: Yes, sire it was just a legend.

Cid: Then why do you even bother to delay us if it is just a legend?

Giovanna: Sire, I believe I used the past tense, was.

Cid: Then you have evidence that this Ivalice actually existed?

Scholar: (A burmecian who suddenly barged in) In fact we do have evidence.

Giovanna: Frigg.

Frigg: These are scrolls that we found on the Island of Demesne.

Giovanna: These scrolls have on them the journal entry in which states that the stellazio creatures have indeed destroyed Ivalice.

Frigg: If you would let me I would like to read an excerpt from the entry.

" It was a peaceful night, a night that was supposed to be an uneventful one. I saw a shadow near the lagoon. I approached the shadow but before I had the chance to see its face, it leaped into the sky, my eyes followed it, and I saw it took out something underneath it and it shot a powerful beam blast and it destroyed Remora, the capital of Ivalice. – Journal log entry no. 885"

I think this is reason enough for her highness to think about the fate of her kingdom before signing the treaty. (Referring to Garnet)

Garnet: Uncle, I would request for a recess from signing and I would like to hear more of this Ivalice.

Cid: Of course, if it would be okay to the other members.

King Ferdinand: Of course.

Queen Stella: It would be a pleasure, and I really would like to visit the infamous Pinnacle Rocks.

Cid: Then we will continue this affair some other time.

Garnet goes over to Frigg.

Garnet: (to Frigg) So Miss?

Frigg: Frigg Crescent.

Garnet: Miss Crescent, have you any relations with Freya Crescent?

Frigg: (While bowing to Garnet) Yes, in fact she is my older sister.

Garnet: So can I call you Frigg, instead of Ms. Crescent?

Frigg: Whatever suits you.

Garnet: So tell me more about this Ivalice.

In Quan's Dwelling…

Dane: So, where do we go from here?

Author's Note: So you all understand why Opichius right? I just took Ivalice from FFTA and FFXII but there will be no crossovers.

Thanks for my first reviewer!!! 
