Marche: Hey shara where did Eivexst go?

Shara: I don't know but he left a recording for us to listen to.

Recording: Shara and Marche if you two are hearing this then that means it's time for the next and final part of the intro this one will be a time skip to another year in the future although the characters will be almost the same from how they were.

Shara: Do you think there is any thing else?

Recording: And in case you ask, there is more it will be set on the very night when Marche, Mewt, Doned and Ritz enter the relm known as the grimior.

I do not own Final fantasy or anything partaining to it, only my OC's.

Umbra's POV: It's been another year, I've grown up a bit and I've gotten much taller I now stand at 5 feet, the night air around me felt so right, it's always been that way, I don't know why but being out and about at night made me feel more comfortable even though some people said it's not healthy for me to be up so late.

I sat there holding a brownish red gem I was given once but, I can not remember who handed it to me and when, all I know is it gave off a soft warmth when i held it and under the light from the stars it would always glow slightly as if it were a star as well, wanting to rejoin the family it has above letting them know, it's here.

I loooked over to my right and smiled a easy to see one, Nelly sound asleep next to me using Kirin as a pillow of sorts, it was hard to tell what she was dreaming about but she was smiling, not using her usual smirk, it was moments like this that I enjoyed the most.

I felt an odd force and my vision grew hazy Kirin stoped moving and put it's tail around Nelly in a protective manor, the roots from some of the trees near by circled around us and a single tip of one stretched out to me.

"What's going on Kirin?" I asked as I looked at her... That's right I said her, I learned two months ago that this particular Kirin was a girl since it had actually given birth to a pup the pup she had given birth too was currently being held in Nelly's arms as she slept, Kirin looked at me and seemed to be staring right at the tip of the root in front of me, my sight was mostly back so I could tell that much.

Lillian. I flinched, something just called out, but what was it? "Who's there!?" I started to speak in sylvan in case it was one of the villagers, most of them didn't understand how to speak the basic Human language so I learned to speak in Sylvan most of the time.

I looked on and reched for my rapier as I saw a light comming closer and waited... One second... Two seconds... Three, with each one that went by I felt more and more un ease, this light wasn't the one I was used to from the wood, this one held a blue color and was cold, I continued to wait.

Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... Thrity and that's when i saw it, a small soul had floated out towards me, and it felt like it was crying. You are not she, where is she? The more it cried the more the roots seemed to push me towards it, [okay mother wood, I'll see what's wrong with it, but I'm not sure what I can do.] I thought and the wood seemed to oblige giving me room.

I sat down and cupped the soul in both of my hands, as it continued to sound like it was crying. "Hey there little guy, what's wrong?" The soul gave off a small shimmer and I looked in front of where I was holding it to see a lamia but it was faded and I could see through it slightly.

My sister, I can't find my dear sister. I felt another soul near by and I thought it was her. The more I stared at it's tear filled eyes the more pity I felt, I pulled the soul close to my chest to embrace it like Nel would do for me when I had night mares. "Shh, it's okay miss, It's okay if you want I could help you find her." The figure stared at me in shock and that's when I felt warmth surround me from the soul when the illusion wrapped it's arms around me.

Thank you, what's your name child? I smiled when I heard the thanks. "Umbra pentral." Umbra... Thank you, tell my sister for me, since my time is almost up... Tell my sister Lillian, Alice loves her. with that the illusion fadded compleately and the soul I was holding turned into a small blue gem as I picked it up I saw a glimps of what she had thought in her final moments. This place... It's so wonderful and the beings who live in this world are as pure as stars, and sis I'll always love you.

I placed it into the nook of the tree in the center of town and carved onto a tablet in front of it. Here lies the soul of Alice the lamia she was a kind spirit who adored her sister as well as the wood the Viera call home may she rest in peace.

I stepped back using my sleeve to wipe a couple of the tears, she may have been a monster but she was just as human as the rest of us all.

"Pent... what's wrong?" I turned seeing that Nelly had woken up from her sleep and she was rubbing her eyes still half asleep, I walked over and laid down near her.

Nelly's POV: I woke up when I heard some one cry slightly and recognized that it was Umbra since he was the only one who cried when he thought he was alone. "Pent... What's wrong?" When I asked this I saw him turn towards me as he still had a couple tears comming down and he lied down next to me.

"I-It's nothing Nel, j-just another night mare." I knew he wasn't telling me the truth what with how he would never admit to having one and hugged him close and I felt him stiffen. "You idiot, it's okay to cry in front of others." I knew I had him resting against my chest which is why he went rigid he was always was a bit nervous when I did this, but i didn't care that much.

I felt him slowly hug me back as he started to cry again silently but I knew he was do to the small shaking he had when he cried. "It's okay Umbra, it's okay I'm here." I always felt a bit sad for him, he told me what had happened to his parents and that's why he was so locked up to people, he didn't want to be hurt again.

I looked up at the sky as I made him sit up with me and struggled to speak in the human language. "You know... The stars all, feel t.. same way... Y-ou do." He looked at me with his eyes still having some tears. "W-what do you mean?" He asked holding back his sobs. "I.. Mean, they are alone too... They d-on't have a-anything but t-em selves."

He looked up wit hsad eyes. "They... don't?" I nodded and forced him to look at the pup I had placed on his lap. "Kirin's, are summons w-ho live but rarely f-ind a being to love, t-he stars are the same." I was starting to get used to speaking like that it got a bit easier do to how I was used to hearing him talk like that and it was helping me understand how to say each part.

"So, when you... Look up, remember t-hat the stars... A-re happy to see so many people gaze at them." He nodded and I saw the small smile he used go onto his face making me smile too. "Thanks Nel... and I told you not to call me Pent." he said punching my arm lightly as we both laughed a little he then looked at me with a look I couldn't recognize.

As I continued to stare I looked over and saw the sun rise it was a promise of a bright day and a future.

Umbra smiled with a full one that any one could see. "Hey Nel?" I looked at him with question as Leona and Shara came out of the woods with similar smiles. "Would you do me the honer of joining with me Leona and Shara to form a clan?" He asked holding up a crescent moon ruby ear ring, it was the sister to his ear ring and he told me that it was a tradition in his family to do this, but I can't remember for what.

"Sure thing Pent, I may only be a kit but there is no way a squirt like you could survive with out me and Kirin." I said with a smirk as I put the ear ring on the oppsing ear to his so if we were put facing some one they would see a ear ring on for both sides, his left and my right, turquiose courage and ruby resolve.

Marche's world around that same time.

Marche's POV: As Doned and I went to bed I was dreaming again, I saw the girl in green but this time we were in a empty room with two chairs laying out in a see of black I sat across from her and she looked just as puzzled as me.

"Who are you?" I asked her she looked at me in shock I guess, she didn't expect me to talk. "Isn't it a bit rude not to introduce your self first?" I scratched the back of my head chuckling a bit. "Right, I'm Marche Radiuju and you are?" She smiled then and held out a hand for me to shake. "I'm Shara, it's nice to meet you Marche." Just then I felt something odd happen when I grabbed her hand it felt like I was pulled some where she looked just as shocked and we started to fade.

"W-what's going on!?" I shouted in shock, she shook her head. "I-I don't know but I hope to see you again Marche, you seem like a nice person." and just like that she was gone.

I opened my eyes a hour later and groaned I felt something was off and looked down at my self, i was wearing a warriors out fit from final fantasy.

"W-where am I?" I looked and saw a big lizzard thing. "What the heck a lizzerd!?" The thing seemed to glare at me. "What wasss that!?" It hit me and I felt a sharp sting, that was the prof, I wasn't dreaming and now I wish I was.

As I was starting to be flanked by him and his friend a moogle showed up. "Hey there you are!" I tilted my head in confusion. "Iss this humen with you moogle?" He nodded making that odd sound. "Kupo, he is sorry about that he is from the country so he hasn't seen a Bangaa before, Kupo, now say sorry to the Bangaa." I nodded and made a small bow. "I-I'm sorry."

The Bangaa smiled and pated my back. "If that wass the case you should have ssaid so." I stared to walk away with the moogle but he stopped my. "Wait! You look like a soldier, what do you say to a engagement?" When he said that a armored guy appeared and the moogle cast what looked like a fire spell.

"Wait what's going on?" The moogle kept his focus as he blocked the shot from one of the Bangaa who had swung a sword at him as I ducked from a punch the other tried to hit me with. "This is an engagement Kupo, we need to fight them now and follow the judges rule, this time we can not heal our selves."

I nodded and pulled the sword off from the hilt on my side it was made of a blue substance. "No way thiss kid hass a mythrill weapon!" Just like that I felt a surge of energy when I slashed at him and threw the sword into the air, I jumped up to it's hight and kicked it and back at him as it bounced back up I caught it and slammed down on him.

His friend was laready out do to multiple burns from fire, and he gasped holding his chest. "D-darn ned that potion!" He pulled out a red bottle and drank form it, he got up after and the judge appeared behind him. "Healing is prohibited, red card for act of treason!"

With that a bright light formed around the guy and the judged turned to us making my blood run cold. "All imprisoned personal are to be visited by clan member only, pleae abide by the law good day." and with that he fadded in a white light.
"What happened to him?" I asked the moogle. "He got sent to jail, the slammer, Kup I wouldn't like to end up there."

[the slammer!] I thought. [what have I got my self into?]
