Me: that was quite a twist in the last chapter eh?
Lloyd: What was?
Me: why did I choose an idiot for a muse?
Lloyd: quit calling me an idiot!
Me: Weeeeell sooooorry! Anyways I thought that my character finding out that she can never return to her world would be an interesting twist.
Lloyd: ok, didn't you want to thank some of the readers?

Lloyd: Now that is done, Jen Rem doesn't own ToS or FF, just Tiamatt and the Oblivion Blade.
"Tiamatt." I slowly opened my eyes, vision blurry but clearing slowly.
"Is she alright Professor?" My eyes focused, allowing me to see Raine, Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Kratos, and Noishe all standing over me. Cloud sat on my chest, looking at me with sad parakeet eyes.
"She's regained consciousness. She should be fine now." Raine replied.
"Where am I?" I groaned, trying to sit up. My arms gave way as a sharp pain just below my ribs on my left side, tore from the wound. I fell back, my head thumping against the ground as I clinched my teeth in pain.
"Tiamatt, let me help you." Kratos insisted.
"No, I can do it myself!" I snapped. Kratos looked taken back as I tried once more to sit up, succeeding through still clinched teeth.
"Tiamatt you must be careful. That wound is serious." Raine warned.
"I know. The wound is a reopened scar from the war." I flinched as I spoke. "Now where are we? How did I get here?"
"We're about half a day from Asgard. Some strange people brought you to us." Genis explained.
"What happened?" Lloyd asked. I thought for a moment as I remembered being knocked from the sky and falling to the ground.
"Something or someone, attacked me and knocked me from the sky." I flinched again as I answered his question.
"You don't remember seeing anyone before you lost consciousness do you?" Raine questioned me. I shook my head.
"You don't remember anyone? Strange." Genis said, scratching his head.
"Why?" I was confused on why they were asking my if I had seen anyone.
"Group of people came to the campsite last night and gave you to us." Kratos told me, sitting down beside me.
"What?" I was even more confused now.
"Yeah there were these two woman. One had long brown hair that was in a braid and was wearing a pink dress. The other had dark hair and wore bright blue with angel wings on the back of her shirt." Colette chirped. My eyes went wide.
"Yeah there were also three guys with really cool swords." Lloyd exclaimed. "One had this really cool wide edged sword and another had a sword with a weird handle with a trigger. And then the last one that was carrying you had this really long sword. It must have been almost 9 feet long!" Lloyd cried as he described only their weapons. Despite my injury, I leapt to my feet and grabbed Lloyd's shoulders.
"Sephiroth! Sephiroth was here!" I shook Lloyd roughly.
"Tiamatt, you know those people?" Colette asked. I stopped shaking Lloyd and turned to face the Chosen.
"Those people were some of my best friends. Riona, Aeris, Cloud, Squall, and…" I paused, clutching the pendent that still hung around my neck. " Sephiroth."
"Who exactly are these people? What connection do you have with them?" Kratos asked. I sighed, missing Tiamatt's no, Tiamatt was no more. I was now the only Tiamatt. I reminded myself to tell them of the encounter later after I explained who all the people were.
"The woman in pink was Aeris, one of the last remaining Cetra. She was like a sister to me but she died in the Forgotten City after awakening Holy." I started.
"You are a Cetra, right?" Lloyd asked. I nodded. "Ok. Now, what is Holy?" I sighed.
"Holy is the Ultimate Protection Magic. It exists as the white materia. It was created to counter the Ultimate Destructive Magic, Meteor, which is the black materia." I explained. "Now, back to explaining people. The man with the wide edged Buster Sword was Cloud Strife. He was originally a basic Shinra soldier but after witnessing Sephiroth's death, Hojo used him as a clone but he failed. Cloud eventually came to defeat Sephiroth a total of three times." I told everyone. "The man with the Gunblade was Squall Leonhart. He was an elite Seed mercenary and defeated the sorceress Ultimecia in order to reverse Time Compression. The woman in the blue was Riona, the sorceress who Ultimecia would gain her powers from before they were transferred to me. And the silver haired man was…" I paused.
"Was he Sephiroth wasn't he?" Raine asked. I nodded, tears forming slightly in the corners of my eyes, and I clutched the dragon pendent even tighter.
"Sephiroth was Shinra's top SOLDIER. He is a fallen hero who tired to destroy the world after discovering Jenova in the Nibelhiem Mako Reactor. His first defeat was in that very reactor when Cloud threw him into the Lifestream. He would later return five years later to summon Meteor before he was defeated once again by Cloud. Finally, three Remnant stole Jenova's head and Kadaj, the lead Remnant, absorbed the head, thus reviving Sephiroth who for the final time, was defeated by Cloud." I told them.
"But if he was dead, how could he come back two times?" Lloyd asked.
"His will was too strong. He could not bond permanently with the Lifestream because of his will to revive Jenova." I explained.
"Hmm… one question remains though. How did they get to our world if they are from yours?" Raine asked.
"I'm guessing through me. All my friends infused some of their own life energy to give me a second chance at life after Jenova's final fall. They must have bonded temporarily with Sylvarant to ensure my safety." I said, tears flowing in as I remembered my friends.
"Tiamatt…" Kratos said sadly. The mercenary stood up and carefully wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry. You loved Sephiroth didn't you?" I nodded and sobbed into his shoulder. "I'm sorry."
"Kratos, I hate to break you two up must I must treat Tiamatt's wound." Raine reminded the mercenary.
"Thank you Kratos." I whispered as he released me from his grasp. He gave a small sad smile as Raine began casting First Aid. The wound closed a little from the spell but still needed to be bandaged. With the bandages on secure, I packed what I could so we could go to Asgard.
"Whine!"
"What is it Noishe?" I asked as I turned to look at the protozoan. I gasped at what the wolf like animal held in between its teeth. "The Masamune…" I took the long sword from Noishe, holding the blade carefully.
"Wow! What is that?" Lloyd asked as he saw the sword. "It looks like the one that Sephiroth guy had last night!"
"That's because it is." Kratos told Lloyd as I clipped the blade to my side.
"Cool!" Lloyd exclaimed.
"Go and finish packing Lloyd." Kratos told the young swordsman sternly. Lloyd didn't budge till Kratos began to glare at him. Sighing, Lloyd left and Kratos approached me. "Tiamatt, what does this mean? Why is this sword here?"
"I don't know why it's here but I think it means that he approves." I replied smiling as I put a hand on the hilt of the sword. Kratos smiled as I picked up my pack and our group started for Asgard.
Me: How you like that chapter? I'm gonna explain the Tiamatt encounter in the next regular chapter so keep a readin' and reviewin'!!!
