Characters (c) Square-Enix
Plot (c) Disney
Over at the tropical side of the kingdom is where a group of free wanders who only travels away if needed. These people are called Gypsies. Only a few warriors but highly spiritual to their deities are normally in this small party. Only one, however, contains the silver flame, a powerful flame from Bahamut himself. But this person becomes a powerful shaman because of the flame. But it's random and only one person can be grained the flame. Many hunters are in the group to help feed the group on wild meat and some waters. Many of the tropical forest holds some bugs plus wild animals such as boar and deer.
Dorgann, one of the hunter leaders, spotted something off the distance with his grey eyes shocked in fear. He ordered Galuf to make sure if the object is safe from the wild animals. With a hand signal, Laguna, one of the idiot hunters in the group, decided to run to the veteran hunters and was attacked by a warthog. The raven haired male killed it in record time, beating it by one second record time.
"Laguna...why did you join us again?" Dorgann asked with a scornful look on his face.
"I need to get a new hobby anyway. Plus...kind a quiet back at the campsite."
"Dorgann!" Galuf shouted to the leader. "It's a small child who is passed out from exhaustion! Should we take him back to camp?"
The leader nodded yes and soon the veteran was back at the campsite. The shaman looked at the scale from the dragon god and saw a faded light coming from it. Most of the upper clothing was gone, leaving a bit of the shirt around the belt. Black pants worn out due to running and crawling around the dirt. The boots were worn down, nearly almost losing them. The blade was rusted from the inside out. The silver blue hair was mangled up for being tied in a ponytail for so long. Dirt was around his face, arms and hands. The shaman knows that the child traveled far away in the kingdom.
"Do you know who he is, shaman?" Galuf asked, which got him curious about the boy.
"I'm not sure." The man answered. "I believe he has suffered a memory lost. We'll treat him like he's part of the family."
Dorgann got the news fast and decided to take the boy to his house. Bartz, his son, was curious of his new adopted 'brother' his dad brought home. His bushy brown hair and matching eyes looked at the other one passed out from heat exhaustion. He slept next to the other child until he hears moaning from the east to his bed.
"Dad..." Bartz spoke softly to Dorgann. "The boy is starting to stir in his sleep."
"He is?"
The man looked to see the boy got up and shaking his head. Bartz smiled before cuddling next to the boy.
"Hi. I'm Dorgann, the leader of the hunters, and Bartz's father."
"I'm Bartz!" Bartz shouted, which got the boy to clean his ears from the ring that is Bartz's scream. "Sorry..."
"That's ok..." The boy spoke with his bright blue eyes looking at Dorgann. "Do you know...who I am?"
"Memory lost...figures as much. Do you at least remember your name?"
"Hm...I believe it was...Light." The boy dabbled 'Light' answered.
"Light? You're named after the prince?"
"I think...but I'm not related to him anyway. I don't think I can remember what my bloodline, or anything really. The only thing I remember...is my name."
Dorgann was now curious about 'Light.' This boy is named after the prince and almost have the same appearance to the boy himself. The shaman say take him in as the newest member of the group. So tomorrow he'll take Light to the hunting grounds with Bartz as well.
The next morning was different. Dorgann spotted Light with Bartz outside looking at the grounds. Both blue and brown eyes looked straight to the man when they felt stalked. Light just nod with an odd look across his face. Soon the shaman entered the house and saw Light bowing to him.
"Charming boy you are." The man spoke to Light. "I'm the shaman of this small little group. Do you remember your name, child?"
"My name is Light."
"Light? Like the prince himself?"
"Prince?" Light looked confuse.
"The prince of the Land of Harmony. He was reported died by Garland, the new king of harmony. I believe he'll come back and challenge Garland for his throne. If he ever comes back..."
"You believe the prince is alive?" Light asked before he passed out due to the fever. "Ugh..."
"Light!" Dorgann grabbed the boy before he looked at the shaman. "What should we do to him?"
"Let him rest. Hopefully his memories will return."
"Thank you."
Over the past few days, Light has been cared for by Bartz's family. The boy became his first friend, if he recalls anymore friends from the past, and then a young child named Squall, who happens to be Laguna's kid. The small group can understand him. Being an outsider to the crowd, he just wants to fit right in. Soon this got Bartz curious about the scale necklace Light likes to wear around his neck. Night has approached for the group and he decided to see the item. The scale shine brightly as soon a finger touched it. Bartz then saw a large dragon with a warrior similar to Light looking at him.
"Who are you?" The warrior asked to the child. "Speak now."
"I'm Bartz."
"Bartz? I think I know you. From the gypsy came?"
The child was stunned. This warrior knows him. The dragon lifted his head and licked the child on the cheek. Bartz giggled laugh when the rough tongue touched his cheek. It grabbed him by the collar with his mouth and put Bartz on his back. It rode through the sky and made the boy scared to death due to his fear of heights.
"Come on Bartz. Let go of your fears and feel the winds blowing to your face!"
The boy followed the knight's order and let go of the horns to feel like he's flying. The creature landed next to his master after flying for seven minutes. Bartz smiled before a yellow feather was falling from the sky. He grabbed it and looked at the father in awed. The knight faded away before Bartz returned to the room.
He looked around to see Light still sleeping. He place the item back to the table and return to his bedside. Light got up and walked up to Bartz with curious eyes.
"Hey Bartz." Bartz looked at the older boy with curious eyes as well. "Can I sleep with you?"
Both boys took refuge inside the blanket to be captured in sleep. Dorgann spotted the two sleeping together just for comfort. He left the room to see Laguna outside the darken sky.
"Laguna?" Dorgann asked to the man. "Why are you out here?"
"Just a midnight stroll, and maybe a kill."
"Getting stronger aren't you. You know you might get a leg cramp sooner or later."
"Bah, I can do it!"
Laguna left the leader and venture into the woods. Dorgann was now worried about the man and the lost memory boy. Both seems to be fine, but has some differences between them. Soon this got Jecht, one of the retired hunters who likes to drinks, curious about Light, along side with his son Tidus.
The next morning Light and Tidus were at the watering hole,where most of the gypsies just go there as a hangout spot, and decided to catch some lunch. Having a small dagger with him, Tidus dived in and cut open a fish as dinner.
"Light!" Tidus shouted in the water. "Got the fire?!"
"Yea! I got it!"
The blond jumped out, getting Bartz and Squall wet when they entered the scene. The two looked at Tidus with scornful looks before seeing the fish Light is cooking up.
"Want some?" Light gave the two a piece.
"Thanks..." Squall said softly.
"Your welcome, by the way..." Tidus spoke up loudly.
The four enjoyed their time together in the spot. Light felt his hair being touched by Bartz for being so smooth. Living like a wander, Bartz really wants to live in one spot and raise a family there. The silver haired boy looked up to see the sun starting to set.
"Come on guys." Light spoke up. "We need to head back."
"Ok...don't need to be pushy..." Bartz said as if he was childish. He spotted Light groining in pain, as if the boy remembering something.
"Light...are you ok?"
"I think...I remember what I am..."
"Who are you?"
"I think I was a knight in training...and that's it. I need my rest."
Light and Bartz returned to their home. The brown haired boy started to worry about Light's memory. A knight in training? Was Light a squire before coming here? He returned to his bedside and started to sleep. During the night, Light was looking at the rusted sword he had when he was rescued. Was he in training to be a knight? The boy's bright blue eyes turned to the glance of the full moon shining it's light down to the small campsite. He placed the weapon down to the ground and covered his body with the blanket.
