Me: yeah! I half way through the first notebook!
Lloyd: Notebook? Why do you have a notebook?
Me: Idiot! I use the notebook to write down ideas for the story, which happens often. The notebooks help me remember what I've put up so far.
Lloyd: Oh…
Me: Now say the disclaimer!
Lloyd: (sigh) Jen Rem own nothing except Tiamatt and the Oblivion Blade.
"Tiamatt?" I asked, unsure if my answer was correct.
Yes, I am Tiamatt. The dragon nodded.
"But… but how?" I stuttered.
I have pulled your consciousness from my body so I could talk to you.
"Ok… but ho… oh yeah Time Compression." I said like an idiot, rubbing the back of my neck.
Humph, you've been ruining my reputation. Tiamatt scolded.
"Sorry." I looked down at my feet and noticed something odd. I was in my normal clothes. I had the marine bio Florida trip shirt on with my normal boot cut jeans and black Vans tennis shoes.
This is caused by you. This is how you see yourself.
"Huh?" I was confused.
You appear as you see yourself as. Tiamatt explained. Now please, let us get on to what I wanted talk to you about.
"Uh… sure." I said and sat down beside my OC.
I know it is tough being me but you will eventually learn to control your new powers as I learned to many years ago. I must also warn to watch your temper until you learn to control the transformations perfectly. Tiamatt told me.
"I know." I complained. "I created you, I know all your powers."
Fine. The dragon sighed. Then I must ask you, are you happy with your new life?
"What? Of course! I finally have friends and someone who loves me. Wait if your asking me this then you must've been the one who…"
Yes, I brought you to this world, thus saving your life.
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Tiamatt.
You can never return to your world.
"What? Why?" I asked, jumping to my feet.
Because…you are dead in that world. Tiamatt said calmly. My heart froze.
"Dead? As in coffin and tombstone dead or just world has forgotten you dead?" I stammered.
You died in a freak fire caused by a fuel truck driven by a drunk driver smashing into your apartment building. The vehicle exploded and set the entire building on fire. By the time the fire marshals reached your apartment, it was too late. The Cetran dragon said sadly.
"No… it can't be…that would mean Cloud is also…" I whispered falling to my knees.
He too, is no more. This is now your world.
"But couldn't I go to your world?" I asked, tears streaming down my face.
I'm sorry but no. I am now of the Lifestream.
"What? But how?" I gasped.
The stigma. My life duty was complete and with the cure for Geostigma long gone, there was no hope. I mouth fell open.
"But Aeris…" I started.
Aeris knew I could do no more by being alive, which is why she did not summon Great Gospel.
"I still don't understand. I never wrote that you died of the stigma." I pondered.
Do you think that we just follow the story that is written for us? We have lives other then what you have written. Tiamatt sighed. But now my writer, it is time for you to be the written.
"What?"
It is time for you to return to your friends but remember you have a life other then what is written for you. Farewell, dear friend. Tiamatt took a deep breath and before I could say anything, I was engulfed in the dragon's Blue-white fire.
Kratos POVI sighed, my arms on my knees as I kept night watch, Noishe sitting beside me.
"Whine, whine, whine!" I looked at the protozoan and sighed once again.
"Yes I miss her Noishe. I feel strange without Tiamatt around. She reminds me so much of Anna." I said sadly.
"Whine!" Noishe licked my hand in reassurance.
"I sure hope so." I sighed again.
Why didn't she take me with her? I turned to look at Cloud who was now perched on my shoulder since Tiamatt had left.
"She'll be back. She said she would." I told the griff and turned back to watching the field.
I hope so. Kratos? I sighed and looked once more at the paragriff. When are you going to tell mommy that you can hear me?
"I don't know. But why do you call her mommy?" I asked Cloud.
Easy, cause she raised me. She's all I've ever known. The griff replied, clucking happily. I smiled and rubbed the little bird's head as I went back strictly to being on night watch.
After about half an hour, I heard Noishe give a happy whine and saw him begin to wag his tail. Cloud bobbed his head happily and leapt from my shoulder, flying to where I knew Tiamatt was.
"Be careful." I whispered as Cloud's child like voice left my head.
Mommy!
The cry tore through my head and I winced at the incredible pain it caused. I glanced around seeing if they others had heard the cry but they seemed unfazed. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that my panic would startle the others. I couldn't let that happen but my heart was full of worry after Cloud's cry.
Kratos! Mommy is hurt! I could hear footsteps as I looked up to see the paragriff fly towards me.
"Someone is coming." The Chosen said, hearing the footsteps with her newly gained angelic hearing. The other looked up and within a couple minutes, a small group of people came into view.
There were three males and apparently two females. The first of the men had blonde spiky hair and blue eyes. He wore black pants with a dark blue shirt and held a long wide edged sword in his hand, the blade slick with the blood of monsters. Beside him stood the first of the women. She wore a pink dress and wore her long brown hair in a loose braid, a staff in her hand and her eyes, though they did not glow, reminded me strangely of Tiamatt. The next man had brown hair and wore a black outfit, the open jacket revealing a white shirt underneath. The man held a blood weapon that resembled a sword with a gun hand; a small chain hanging from the top of top seemed to hold a loin's head. A woman stood by this man too. The woman wore a blue top with black shorts; a crossbow was attached to one of her wrist. She had long dark hair, and just like the previous woman, something about her reminded me of Tiamatt. The final stranger was tall and wore a black cloak. He had long silver hair and like the blonde man and Tiamatt, his eyes gave off an unnatural glow. I noticed an abnormally long sword at his side and noticed too how carefully he held something in his arms.
"Tiamatt!" I leapt to my feet and ran to the group, the others behind me.
"You are her friends correct?" The silver haired man asked.
"Yes, we are but who are you?" Lloyd answered, sounding as arrogant as ever.
"He reminds me of you Cloud." The girl in pink giggled. The blonde sighed.
"Cloud?" I asked, confused at the mention of the blonde haired man's name.
They aren't addressing me you know! Cloud the paragriff retorted.
"Please, we would like to know your names." Raine said, glaring at Lloyd for his arrogance.
"I'm afraid our names are not important. We came only to ensure the safety of Tiamatt." The man named Cloud told us, putting his sword into a holster on his back.
"Please take care of her." The dark haired woman asked. The silver haired man held her out to me and I careful took the unconscious woman in my arms.
"Please, don't not break her heart like I did." The man whispered to me before turning to leave.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "What connection do you have with her?"
"Tiamatt will explain everything." The man with the gun sword said calmly as the group began to walk away. Our entire group looked in shock as the group glowed a faint green and disappeared into the night…
Lloyd: That was strange. Who were those people?
Me: you'll find out in the next chapter. Please Review!!!
