Chapter 10: For the Memory

Locke paced furiously. "Damn it, when will this rain stop?" he asked Sabin.

Sabin shrugged. "Beats me. Apparently it was more magic than Celes

could absorb. Strange, huh?" Sabin sat down.

"Very. I watched her take an Ultima from Kefka. If this spell is that powerful...who would have the power to create it?" Locke stared out the

window. "Not Terra..."

"Unlikely. She lost her Esper half, didn't she?"

"LOCKE!" came a scream from upstairs. Locke and Sabin leapt up and ran up the stairs.

Sabin never made it. A massive Gigas swung its fist into his back and crushed him against the wall. He never moved again.

The snow was burning his hair! His precious hair! "Umaro, let's get out

of here, kupo?"

"Un'g! We go!" Umaro grabbed the ore and trotted down the mountain

side. Mog rushed after him.

"Boss? Wha that?" said Umaro, staring at the massive dragon in front of him.

"Aieee!" shouted Mog.

Edgar dove into the water and swam frantically for shore. Even at the

peak of his health, it was a hard swim. He was panting furiously and he

was only half of the way there. A huge wave knocked him under, and he

came up spitting out sea water.

"What the..." Edgar saw a massive shadow moving towards him. A boat!

One of his boats!

"DOWN HERE!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. But they didn't hear

him...and they were headed straight towards where he was floating!
