Lloyd: again?
Me: Yes again! I like writing this story. besides I have nothing better to do.
Lloyd: oh well in that case. Jen Rem doesn't own ToS or anything related to FF except Tiamatt and her sword.
"You think we went too far?" Colette asked as the door clicked shut. Kratos was silent, deep in thought, as was Raine. Lloyd and Genis however were busy discussing how cool it would be to have my powers. "She seemed really upset."
"..."
"She probably left cause the memories where to painful." Lloyd piped. "Didn't you see how she reacted when she mentioned Jenova and that Hojo guy?" Raine turned to her student and began to throw confetti.
"It's a miracle!" the "elf" cried, "Lloyd said something smart!" At this, Lloyd cringed as Genis and Colette laughed. Suddenly everyone froze as a mournful, wolflike howl echoed through out the entire town. The group looked down sadly as they realized that they had indeed gone too far.
I sat silently, listening to the last of the echo fade away over the ocean. I gazed at the bright stars that shined over the now sleeping town of Izoold and sighed. I knew they would want to hear more but the past was just too painful. Then I had an idea. What if I did a memory flash? I had forgotten completely about being able to do it but then again, Tiamatt had rarely ever used it.
It would allow me to share my memories though with the group so that I wouldn't have to tell them the entire thing. The only problem was that they would also fell all the pain I went through, which would kill any normal person. That and I had to be in my normal form to use it. That's when I realized my mistake. I had been concentrating on being the true me, not Tiamatt. Closing my eyes, I quickly returned to be Tiamatt.
I sighed, yawning, exhausted from the day and the transformations. I stood up and stretched, then turned towards the inn. Inside, the receptionist fast asleep so I quietly walked past her and went into my group's room. The students took the three beds, Raine was asleep on the couch, and Kratos sat in a recliner, head resting on his chest. I sighed and choose a spot on the wall to lean against. I shivered slightly as a cool sea breeze came through the open window. I sat down and slowly nodded off to sleep.
I woke up, a soft warm fabric wrapped around me. Opening my eyes, I realized that it was Kratos' cape. Kratos himself was a few feet from me, breathing softly as he slept. I smiled as I stood up and carefully folded the cape and placed it beside him. I turned towards the others and saw that they were still asleep but with the sun starting to rise, I knew they would all wake soon.
The receptionist looked at me strangely as I walked out of the room but nodded at my request to have breakfast delivered to my friends when she recognized my voice. I helped the maid bring in the food as everyone began to stir.
"Good morning everyone!" I cried cheerfully as Lloyd rushed for the food and everyone else rubbed their eyes or simply yawned. Lloyd stuffed a piece of toast in his mouth but almost choked as he looked at me.
"Tiamatt you're back to normal!" Colette cheered as Lloyd tried to unlodge the food that was stuck in his throat. Colette jumped out of bed and took a glass or orange juice. I grinned, shrugging and began to hand out breakfast.
"I was thinking to hard." I joke, pouring coffee for Raine, Kratos, and me.
"Tiamatt, I'm sorry about last night. We never meant to upset you." Raine apologized as she took her cup.
"It's ok. I understand that you are interested and all." I replied. Raine smiled thanks and nodded. Soon we were done eating and ready to leave. However, getting to Palmacosta was proving to be difficult.
We eventually got someone to take us over seas if we agreed to deliver a letter to someone in Luin. Everyone was excited about boarding the boat well, except for Raine who was taking her time on boarding the small craft. None the less, we were soon on our way to Palmacosta.
As we traveled across the ocean, I suddenly came up with an idea. I had always loved the ocean and I wanted to show my new friends something cool. I was just worried that it might spark up last night's conversation. I closed my eyes, searching through the materia that was not absorbed into my body, causing the orbs to glow. The others watched curiously as the orbs glow could be seen in my arm. Soon only a red materia glowed and I opened my eyes.
"Wanna see something cool?" I asked. Before they could give an answer, I ran off the edge of the boat and dove into the water. Everyone's eyes went wide in shock as they frantically searched the water.
Without warning, a giant sea serpent raised its head out of the water, causing Raine and the boat's captain to scream in terror. I sat calmly on the serpent's head as he peered at the people on the boat.
"Tiamatt, where are we? These are not the waters of home." the serpent asked in a deep, growling voice.
"Leviathan, this is one of the oceans of Slverant, a world other then our own." I informed to serpent.
"Is that so. Hmmm... Then why have you summoned me?"
"I guess I kinda wanted to show off." I did my now trademark neck rub. Leviathan's body shook as he laughed and lowered himself to look at my friends. "Oh yeah! Guys, this is Leviathan. He's a good friend of mine from home! Levi, this is Lloyd, Genis, Colette, Kratos, and the seasick one is Raine." I introduced them all.
"Hmmm..." Levi examined each of my friends. "This woman reminds me of Quitis Trepe. The youngest reminds me of Nanaki and the older of Zell Dinchit." I tried to repress a snicker. "The girl reminds me of Aeris Gainbrough and this man, well..." Levi paused.
"Well what?" I insisted, leaning over the edge of his head to look into his bright green eyes.
"He reminds me of you, before you regained your memories." I stared in shock as I realized how right he was.
During the time of the prophecy, I was distance from most people even my friends. I was an outsider; banished from what I thought was my home world. I kept myself away from people until I met Oblivion, my best friend who was like a brother to me. Kratos was kind of like this. He seemed distant from the other, kinda cold. But I knew exactly what it was like, for not to long ago, I had no memory of the past that I had recently told the others. I pushed others away even after I became whole once again because my life had been full of pain and suffering. I had lost everything, regained and then lost it all again. Now I had yet another chance for happiness and I was not going to let slip from my grasp yet again.
Me: your probably wondering what all that last stuff was so I'll explain. In FD, Tiamatt does not know of her past, only of what she has recently lived because her memories were locked away or to be more exact, inhabited another body. During the reversal of Time Compression after Ultimecia's death, Jenova fought for control of Tiamatt, who resisted. Instead of bring her back to the present, she went ahead into the future and Jenova was separated from her with all her memories. They later recombined and Tiamatt got her memories back but had to kill herself to kill Jenova. Aeris and the others in the Lifestream granted Tiamatt a second chance at life where she lived a relatively solitary life as she mourned over her life.
Lloyd: wow. That's alot.
Me: I know but I also know readers will be confused by the last paragraph if I don't explain so...
Lloyd: ah ok
Me: sigh anyways I guess it's time for something random. Hmmm...
I like Chicken!
Thanks everyone for your support. I'll keep writing this so R and R plz!
