Garland arrived at the castle to hear some crying. Most of the Wild Roses were looking around to see most of the citizens crying for the lost of their loved king. But the ones who was hurting the most was Cosmos. She lost her husband and her son went missing. But she spotted Garland over the distance and could only smile at the older brother.

"Garland?" Cosmos asked to the armored knight. "Do you saw Cid's death?"

"I did...and I have some terrible news. Light is also killed as well. I don't know how...but I was told to become the next king if he and Light dies."

"What?"

"Let me rule so your head won't be overrun by so much responsibility, my lady."

Firion came out from the crowd and looked at the two adults. Garland looked at the child and just petted Firion's head. The child growled and pulled out his dagger to fight against the knight.

"Firion, please don't be alarmed." Cosmos spoke to her trainee.

"Where's Light?! Where is he?!" Firion shouted to the knight.

"He's died, remember?" Garland spoke before his own warriors were at the castle. "And I'm the new king. You and the other Wild Roses will be listening to my law!"

Firion gulped before driving the weapon to Garland's armor. The man grabbed the child by the shirt and decided to drop the kid. Firion smiled and return to his group. The knights rounded up all the citizens to return home. Hilda ordered her people to return back to their small home. But due to his small size, Firion manage to slip through the crowd and followed Garland to the castle.

"Where is that secret passage Light showed me?"

He spotted the stand out stone that Light carved out for him. Pushing it to the building, he saw the passage opening for him. The ancient flame flickered from his brace so he can see easily. Light told him it covers the entire castles. This is where most assassins working for the king lives secretly. Crawling around the tunnels, Firion could feel the air getting heavier and hotter because of a lack of any air current. Soon he hears voices similar to Garland and Cosmos.

It's to the east. Firion thought before seeing Garland's shadow. Bingo.

"You really believe your son will come back?!" Garland growled as he clawed the queen, which shocked Firion. "Bah, the boy will die out there. He's not even a true knight! Just daddy's little boy. Face it, I'm going to be the new king, and the only way to do that...is if I marry you, Cosmos."

"Say no." Firion whisper to the queen.

"I...my heart is still with Cid, Garland. I will not marry you. Not as long my son is still alive. I can feel Bahamut and his energy together."

Firion was shocked when he saw the armored knight lifted up the queen's chin so he could kiss her. His blood boils and started to cast a fireball spell to the man. Garland looked around to see no one other than themselves. Found a small throwing knife, Firion threw it to Garland, but the knight grabbed it and threw it back at the child.

"Nice try..." Garland broke open the wall and saw Firion hiding from the man. "Little brat."

"Firion?!"

"Lady Cosmos, run!" Firion shouted which the queen was running. "I got you, Garland!"

"Tough kid, but I have to break your rebellious phase right here and now!"

Garland swung his oversize weapon to Firion, who was blocking by doing dodges. The child swing his knife and strike the knight with a mighty blow. Garland smiled to see such a power in a small child. Firion cast a flame like spell to the knight and saw the armor slightly heated.

"Not bad kid." Garland smiled to Firion. "Why not work for me. Together you and I will rule this land with an iron fist!"

"I'll never join with someone as dark like you! My heart is loyal to King Cid, now King Light!"

Garland had enough. Splitting the weapon into two different blades, he did a quick multi slash to Firion, causing many scars around the arms and chest. The rebel child dropped down to his knees, unable to fight back. The knight grabbed Firion and threw him off the window. Many glass shards started to fall to the stone stairs. Hilda ordered Gordon, Scott's brother, to grab the child so Minwu can heal him. The man grabbed the child, but saw the scars on Firion's body. Minwu saw the child and started to heal Firion. Could it be that he can feel Light's energy? Firion stirred before crying in his dreams.

"Light..." Firion spoke in his sleep. "I'm...so alone..."

Minwu stop and saw the ancient flame inside the child starting to heal his soul, but not his body. All it could do it protect him, not heal. Scars covered Firion's chest and arms, marking him as a traitor to the king. Minwu created a small healing band for Firion's left wrist. Small pulses of cure entered the blood stream and heal Firion. Gordon saw the two, well one awake and one pass out, near each other. He could tell Minwu was always there for Firion. The kid always get into danger...more life threating now, but he comes out smelling like a rose. But now...why did Firion attack the king? Dishonor...or maybe he wants to be with his dead friend? Either way, the kid is going to find out the truth.

WoL: I guess I'm doing it since she's asleep. Fav, follow and all that jazz.
Firion: Is she asleep?
WoL: Yes...I knocked her out with her shield...

Firion: Nice one! Hope she doesn't write another chapter tomorrow...
WoL: You do realize she's done with collage for now!
Firion: CRAP! _
Me: *Woke up* Oh Light and Firion. The fangirls are waiting~
WoL and Firion: KILL HER! *Summoned their weapons*
Me: O_O! *Runs away*
