I'm sorry that I haven't been updating in Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because I wanted to work on my final paper for college. I'm almost done with it and will be writing for this story, only.
Characters (C) Square-Enix
Roles and plot (c) Disney


Cid shake his son to wake up for a split second before the sun even shine. Light looked at his father before getting ready. He knows getting up this early is his punishment for heading to the Land of Discord. The stars shine under the two warriors. Light got tired for thirty minutes of swinging his sword five hundred times in a row. Cid saw his son sweating out from his black clothing. He walked closer to Light with a sweaty clothing and skin. Both sat down to see the stars shining down above them.

"Hey Light..." Cid spoke, getting his son's attention. "Why did you and Firion head to the land of discord?"

"His siblings were in danger. He needed help so I helped him. I made a promise I'm not going to break."

Cid remembers his small promises he broke from Garland. Not telling about the broken pillar due to the heavy boardsword Garland was given by their grandpa. Or how it was Garland's fault for nearly killing the family's prized dogs. Again, he could even break them now that he's king. Maybe he got the whole, "I'm not going to break any promises" trait from his side of the family. Then again, is Firion Light's only friend outside the castle? Maybe, but who knows what his son could be doing. Both returned to the castle's balcony to see the stars under them. Before heading inside, Cid remembered the small little talk he and his father talk before he passed away.

"Hey Light."

"Uh?" Light looked at him with the blue eyes glowing from the light. "What do you want?"

"I want to tell you something your grandpa told me." Cid looked at the stars. "He once told me this. That the great kings from the past...look down at us with those stars. But, only if you believe yourself, you can see them. And when I'm gone Light, I'll look down to you with the same stars. But you have to remember who you are. Now, who are you?"

"I am Prince Light to the land of Harmony. And it is my duty to defend it with my life."

Cid smiled and let the child sleep for the night. Knowing Light, he'll probably go see Firion during his magic training. Both went into a deep sleep for the rest of the night.

Morning arrived for the prince. Not knowing his blanket removed, he stretched to see Firion by his bedside.

"AGH!" Light fell off, landing on his back side for a small bit of pain. "Firion...should you be with my mom for training?"

"I'm sorry, but a man wearing white armor, who looked like a girl, invited me in."

"I'm so going to get Cecil here in a second. Never mind, your waiting?"

"Yea. She won't be awake for a couple of hours. What do you do when your waiting for your dad?"

"Sleep!" Light return to his bed with his back turned to the other boy.

"Hey Light, what is your dad like?"

The curious question got Light thinking. "Kind, brave and even wise. Like a king should be. Why do you asked that?"

"Because I'm an orphan, remember. I never actually remembered my real dad. He died when I was just a baby. My mom died after my fifth birthday. The Wild Rose took me in and Minwu took care of me since then. I've...never had anything special in my blood."

"The magical powers you have." Light reminded the boy. "Is your father a mage?"

"Can't say. I hope I get to find out who I am until I'm near my twenties!"

Both laughed before Cosmos saw the two together in the bedroom. Firion smiling with her son laughing emotionless. She opened the door to hear the laughter died down.

"Lady Cosmos!" Firion shouted and hugging her. "I'm ready for training!"

The three, soon became five because of Cid and Cecil, entered the magical arena controlled by Cosmos herself. Wearing only his training robes, Firion waited orders from the queen. With targets up, a fireball was conjured in the boy's hands and shoot down the targets. Light saw the fire coming out from the boy's hands gracefully off the hands. Cid was shocked to see black magic out of Firion's hands, not white.

"Stop!" Cosmos shouted, causing Firion to be spooked. "Firion, where did you learn Black Magic?"

"I don't know..." Firion was about to cry when he heard his master's voice so loud. "I really don't know!"

Light saw his friend crying and decided to run to his side. The prince then suddenly saw what his parents will never do to him. Cid grabbed a dagger and swing it to Light's cheek. Light red blood was slowly dripping off the broken skin. Firion saw it and tried to wipe the blood off, only to see it on his hands. Cosmos almost cried to see her two men fighting. Light ran off to his room and patched up the wound with a bandage. Cecil entered to see a faint tear from the unexpected place, Light's eyes. It was faint, but it was sure that the emotionless prince is showing one emotion: sadness.

"Hey Light." Cecil said, which got the prince's attention. "Can I come in?"

"Sure..." Cecil entered the room. "What do you want?"

"I saw you crying a bit."

"Crying? I can't cry remember?!"

Cecil smiled. "I know. I just want to talk to you."

"When did Firion learn Black Magic? Does evil characters from the Land of Discord knows them?"

"Yes, but maybe Firion's parents from the past actually learned them and now he's starting to use them for protection. Or maybe his mother knows it."

Light started to worry. He shutter the thought. Worry? Since when did he started to feel emotions? He went to his bed and sleep through the night. In the middle of the night, Firion came into the room with a small stream of fire hovering above the hand. Seeing the cut, a stream of white flame hovered the wound and see it healing. How come a flame of mast destruction heal? Running to the guest room, he saw a man in blue looking at him. Before realizing, the man is him from the distance future.

"Are you me?" Firion saw the man smile and nodded yes. "Thank god."

"The white flame." The older Firion spoke, deeper than his younger self. "We're different. The flame heals, not burn. Our Black Magic can be similar to white. This is just a forewarning about our magical powers. But, give me your hand."

The sigma of the Wild Rose started to glow in the back of the older male's hand. The magical aura between them started to shift. The white flame transformed into a dragon. White scales formed around it with the eyes glowed golden blue. The older Firion petted the dragon so it can feel the younger one's energy.

"This, my dear child, is the legendary serpent of the sea. This gentle soul is Leviathan."

The serpent looked at the child before wrapping around Firion. Letting the child pet him, Leviathan called out a column of water to give Firion more magical powers. A silver golden brace was wrapped around the child's right wrist with Leviathan's mark on it. Soon the white flame turned almost red. A blue hilt in the hazel eyes glowed with the serpent's powers. Leviathan bowed and left Firion alone to sleep next to the young prince, who was meditating with his guardian dragon.

"Light." Bahamut spoke with his head up.

"Uh?"

"Leviathan...he has awoken."

"Who's Leviathan?"

"The guardian of the sea. The serpent equal in strength to mine. But he's a kind one. You have no fear."

Light continue to meditate with the dragon god next to him, now asleep. Now concern, he looked into the real world to see Firion wearing a brace with Leviathan's sigma on it next to his body. Cosmos felt Leviathan's soul inside of her student. Could Firion's magical powers come from the sea guardian himself? Could the child be a lost soul from the sea? She couldn't care as long as Firion isn't used for evil doing.


Illusions to the two powerful summons in the series, Leviathan and Bahamut and the Final Fantasy they first appeared.
Bahamut- First appeared in Final Fantasy 1. Was the dragon king who changed your party's job class in exchange with a rat's tail. Appeared as a summon in FF 3 and beyond. Also been a boss since FF 3.
Leviathan- First appeared in Final Fantasy 2 as a dungeon in the main story heading to the Tower of Magi for the Ultima spell. Became a summon in FF 3 like Bahamut. Been like a boss and/or story plot.

Hope these allusions to the other Final Fantasy games and I finally got my Sleepless Beauty (FirionxWoL) Doujinshi back in my hard drive! Hope I'll go to that other chapter and reading the Doujinshi again. *Be prepared might be in the next chapter, or an extra scene. Can't decide*
