Characters (c) Square-Enix
Plot (c) Disney

Firion got up due to the sun to see his siblings worried about him. He just told them to go away and let him be. Minwu entered the tent to see the boy meditating with the white flame slowly increasing heat.

"Firion..." Minwu spoke up, seeing Firion looking at him. "Can I come in?"

"Sure...what do you want?"

"It's about your health. Firion, your scared because of Garland. Why did you attack the new king?"

"Want to know why, because he's so sick in my eyes! All he cares is power, not his people!"

"Why do you think of that?" Minwu wonders why.

"I never like him, and he was thinking of taking Cosmos as his own! Isn't she loyal to Cid?"

"Yes, but she has to be loyal to the king. Garland is king, and his words is law."

"I see...then your under his spell too, Minwu."

Minwu was shocked to hear those words out of Firion. Under Garland's spell? What spell? A control spell? Maria and Leon watched as the two speak about it. The girl was shocked to see Firion screaming out of his lungs to the mage. Leon pulled his sister out of the scene and looked.

"Firion, calm down and speak normal for me." Minwu spoke softly to the child.

"NO! I WANT TO KILL THE KING SO LIGHT CAN BECOME KING HIMSELF!"

Firion left the room with his scared chest and arms showing. Soon tears started to roll down. His friends are returning home, and he wants to stay. Night has fallen and he slowly sneak out of the campsite. He ventured to the village and sees some guards patrolling the streets. Coming around the corner, he spotted some of the citizens being captured and going to the dungeon. He found a small ally with a small shelter like structure with it. Broken pots and pans were with it and a worn out sleeping mattress with blanket. He started to shiver since it was the coldest night in summer history. He started to fell sleepy, and went to bed on the mattress. Sleep consumed him so before being poked by a girl, more important...his sister.

"Maria, stop poking me!" Firion said, almost loud enough to alert a guard.

"Sorry, but you know this isn't right. Running away so you can kill Garland in your hands. But one thing..."

"What is it?"

"Can I...stay with you?"

Firion opened the blanket and let Maria cuddle near his chest. Leon spotted the two together and slowly tipped down his way to the two. Firion opened one eye to see Leon next to him in slumber. He sigh...and think of the future.

What if Light doesn't come back?! What if he's...really died...

Minwu say the three in the little shelter through his magic. Hilda would kill him if they aren't with them tomorrow, but...he has to lie for Firion just this once.

"Minwu..." Hilda said, which made the mage jump. "Where's Firion, Maria and Leon?"

"Uh...don't know." Minwu lied terribly.

"Minwu, I know your lying. Where are they?"

"Ok, their at the village..."

"The village? Why are...Firion...he's still believing that Light would come back and fight against his uncle for the throne. He'll be old enough to understand the reality with fantasy."

"Hilda! Your leaving them behind?!" Minwu was shocked to hear that from the leader. "And Firion is next leader to the group!"

"Now he's not. As long as I live, he'll never become the new leader. Are we clear?"

Minwu bowed and just cried. Firion, Maria and Leon will be left behind and have to survive on their own. But with the ancient flames in the eldest one, they'll be fine in heat and warmth. Soon Hilda ordered the remaining Wild Roses to march back to their original home. Minwu looked back and cried for his young adopted child. Firion has always been like a perfect child to him. But since he meet Cosmos, his whole world changed.

Firion got up the next day with Maria and Leon on top of him. Slowly he removed his siblings off of his body and looked outside to see the guards patrolling like always. He sneaked his way back to the campsite to see it packed up. He cried. His family is now gone. Minwu, Hilda and Gordon left him and his siblings behind. Soon he hears crying from behind him. He turned to see Maria's face covered in tears.

"Maria!" Firion cried out to his sister. "They...left us behind. I guess you two are with me."

"Why did you stay here? Hoping if Light returns?"

"Yea...I can feel him...he's still alive."

"Alive?! Tough guy indeed. Unlike us, though...he can't salvage for food and inventory. Are you sure he's alive?"

"Of course he's alive. Maria, keep this a secret..."

"What are you..."

She saw the white flames around the boy and then sees a red flame in between them. Firion ordered it to become a map of the kingdom, showing small flames of life in the map. She then saw a small flame due east, where the tropical area is located.

"Light must've gone there! Let's go after him!"

Firion let go of his trance. "Sis...if we do, we'll die. It's best if we stay here and wait. If we do, then Light would come back stronger and he'll have some back up."

Firion and Maria nodded on the idea and return to their small camp and spotted someone next to Leon, sleeping. Firion walked up to the person slowly to see a brown bush of hair. Brown eyes looked at the boy with silver hair and just looked at Firion funny.

"Hey..." Firion spoke softly, which startled the newcomer for a second like a cat. "I'm Firion. This is Maria and Leon. What's your name?" The boy didn't say anything. "Ok...how about Guy since you are a boy like me and Leon?"

The dabbed boy named Guy nodded yes and got up to see the height difference between him and Firion. The silver haired boy laughed and decided to make Guy their newest member. The four gather up some supplies such as food, clothing and weapons for defense. Still wanting to be a weaponmaster, Firion has a shield and sword with him. Leon has two swords. Maria is equipped with a bow and finally Guy with an axe. The four are ready for any guards coming near their base. But the ancient flame started to wither inside Firion. He started to worry. The flame is his magic force. If it's wither, then the person can't use magic from their deity. If someone who knows the flame's origins, then he could just save his.

Extra scene and Guy is now introduced in this fanfic! :D
