Rekindle [ Open ]

[⚡] Darkness that had threatened to swallow her, was replaced by a more soothing form. Light. The gentle yet firm hand of someone or something driving back forces that threatened to erase her very existence. Each time she was about to be devoured yet would be able to fend off the hollow void, by a power that did not solely belong to her...

Written out of history, yet imparted into this dimension with the omnipotent knowledge of such a thing occurring to her. This is how it went, the price for becoming the "champion of Etro". To gaze down upon humanity, to walk between worlds that were not her own..all at the steep price of her own life...and the life of her dearest sister.  Dea--

The pinkette would sit up, alone, hand pressed to her forehead. Another dream. The thought passed through her mind before her fingers trailed down her face, resting again with her other hand atop her lap. The cold wind of vacancy whistled across the alteresque area, the long abandoned Valhalla, quiet, yet this time...it was not quiet...

Blue eyes took the surroundings into focus, buildings...people... Her brows furrowed in confusion, her rigid movements might have seemed like she was mad...but to her, it was a near impossibility that she walked the earth once more. [⚡]

Lightning Returns Headcanon | Spoilers under the cut

Where is Lightning geographically?

Although Light steps off the train into what is probably France, I do not believe that is where she resides.  I feel as if she is visiting Serah in France to help with her wedding to Snow.  Though her namesake would seem to indicate she is French, I believe she might have spent some time in Paris before Hope contacted her and Lightning left to live in the United Kingdom with him.  If he is his older self, I would assume they lived romantically, but if not I would say she probably moved to be his primary caregiver.

What does she do?

Everything. She saved the world afterall, I dont think there is anything she cant do.  What she would be happiest doing? I would still think it would be protection oriented.  Maybe not in the action anymore, but a Detective or something like that.  I also firmly believe she has a hobby of horseback riding because of her love of Odin. Kweh!

Who does she end up with?

I ship Lightning with MANY people.  In the XIII verse I ship her with Older!Hope, Caius and Cid Raines romantically.  I also ship her with Noctis (there is a possibility this could work ;)) and a few other characters from the Dissidia verse (Kain, WoL, Cloud and Squall to an extent) for the end of LR sake, I would say my Lightning OTP's are Hope and Noctis (but I would love a Caius or Cid Raines shippppp).

Who will he/she find first in the new world?

Serah. Duh. 

How would he/she react to the new world?

A new journey, less pressure, she would finally get the chance to be a sister figure to Serah, help plan her wedding, and be a normal person herself.  She would very much enjoy just living. Enjoying hobbies, learning how to trust people, and not acting like a robot.

His/her mental state post-game?

Content, finally happy.  No longer consumed with guilt and self loathing, she healed and was able to begin anew, for almost another life. The whole XIII series was about rebirth in a way, and Light FINALLY got the life she yearned for.

- Hours prior the train has rolled into the station, the older of the Farron sisters had spent the past 4 hours commuting to visit Serah, and the whole time she had been simply wondering what to say.  Hand placed on her cheek as she leaned against the windows, the pictureesque countryside outside of the window, flashing by.  How have you been? How is the wedding planning coming? Do you wish things were different? All topics that rolled through Light's mind. 

When arriving at the station, she knew that the cottage that Serah lived on was only a short walking distance, along a dirt countryside road, and the fair weather gave Light all the more reason to take the walk herself.  Brown suitcase in hand, she began her short journey to the quaint house in which he younger sister stayed. 

Her footsteps crunched lightly on the dirt, perhaps heels werent so good to use if she did walking, but she had dealt with worse, a soft smile appeared on her lips at the familiar call of "Sis!" -

``Bonjour, Serah.``

- Actually the accent itself was cringe worthy, but she had tried none the less, that had never changed.  No matter what world, what time, Light did her best to see her sister happy, this was no different. Although her humor usually ran the route of being dry, she knew that her horrible accent might bring a smile to her younger sisters face. A smile Lightning couldnt get enough of after being without it for a very long time. The embrace, however, was tight, and natural. - 

``It's so good to see you.``

Lightning smiling ; a ;

[amplexusventus]

"Oh! Of course; no doubt!" Ventus exclaimed, as he agreed vivaciously to her rather simplistic reply. He didn’t expect much more than what she had just said; Lightning was a very collected woman, who held all her burdens on her shoulders with strife and confidence. She reminded him a lot of one of his best friends, Aqua. They were both very respectable women, and he admired them greatly for their strength, their courage. Something, he found he learned the bulk of from the influences of woman like them.

Despite the fact that he agreed with Lightning, and knew very well that she could watch over herself, he still couldn’t help but wonder, worry, and waver. His mind, his very being, was like the wind, and he carried himself as such, going with the flow of things and yet caressing every nook and cranny of all abstract emotions, veiling them in the softness of his heart’s breeze. His smile remained, and he didn’t press on her bruises, the ones he was sure she had, but he had to know. He had to make sure that even if things weren’t going easily for her that somehow he’d see to it that things would be okay, and that she could always talk to him. “I knew I’d see you again, I just didn’t know when…” The boy began, as he thought back to all the ruckus and mayhem that ensued while they last met. Lightning was going through quite a dilemma, what with her responsibilities and duties saving the world. "The last time we saw each other there was so much goin’ on, and there was only so much I could do to help you…" So many people depended on Lightning, and Ventus knew her struggles were not just struggles, but they seemed to be with such a level of difficulty, that they were a summons of personal contest. His smile softened as he looked forth upon her, and her height reached over him. A glow of glory created her halo, and he knew that although he couldn’t do much then, he could do more for her now that they’ve reacquainted themselves once more. "But I knew I’d see you again—" "—and I’m glad it was this soon! We can catch up, ‘n you can tell me how you’ve been doing! Hey! I bet you even have some cool stories to tell me too, huh?” 

[gladiusturba]

- He was ever so interested, though Light didnt mind sharing some stories with him, now that is.  Before she would have been much more gruff about it and probably refuse outright, but now...she looked at this young boy, so full of vim and vigor that she simply saw a reflection of youth that has yet to be stolen.  With that in mind, she figured she could spare some stories, and that he could use the company. 

In a way, he reminded her a lot of Hope, and when she recalled that it made talking to him that much easier.  Although, to be honest, speaking to Ven had always been easy; solely because he seemed not discouraged with Lightning's prior demeanor and continued to try and open her up.  I guess in a way it paid off in the long run. 

Shifting her weight a bit to the foot which held her hand poised on her hip she glanced around for a better place to have their conversation, not in the middle of the street.  Without words she would start trekking in some direction, nodding her head as if to beckon Ven to follow.  Some things never changed.  Hopefully Ven would point out a decent place to have a drink at, as Lightning's memory of this place was rather hazy. -

  Hey! I bet you even have some cool stories to tell me too, huh?” 

It warranted a small snort of air through Light's nostrils as she seemed to half chuckle, half scoff in her old way. - 

`` Right...something like that.``

"You took our relationship too seriously."

"I’m going to die soon. I always knew."

"You’re going to die soon and I won’t stop it."

"I found someone else that’s better for me."

"We were kidding ourselves all along."

"I found the note you left."

"I loved the person you used to be."

"I— I’m the one responsible for it."

"Get away from me. I’ll hurt you."

"I was only doing my job."

"Don’t look so shocked. I am what I am."

"They’re taking me away. This is goodbye."

"And the best part is, I’m not even sorry."

"I love you, but I understand."

"No, don’t cry. While there’s life, there’s—"

gladiusturba shows up, stunningly!

Surprise, as well as excitement, splayed across his visage, as his lips parted with anticipation and warm familiarity. “N-No, way! Light?” The young Keyblade wielder cooed, his shoulders jostling with aroused sentiment. “The last I saw you, you were— It doesn’t matter! What are you doin’ here?” Ventus couldn’t remember exactly where they first met, but he remembered distinctly that their first encounter was one he cherished greatly and recalled with only the fondest of memories. Surely, she was one of his best encounters during his travels. Thus, seeing Lightning, in the flesh, after so long, was not only reassuring, but it was exciting.

"I mean… it’s not like I’m not happy to see you or anything, but— you’re kinda far away from home?" The boy added, his attached armor clanking lightly as he sprinted up to her side, and his warm smile curling either corners of his lips.

[gladiusturba]

- It wasnt as if the pinkette had forgotten anyone who she had encountered previously, in fact, this particular boy would have been hard to forget anyway.  A Blonde haired keyblade user that so lively scampered up to her, prompting a hand placed on her hip and halt of her footsteps. Peering down at him she couldnt help but listen intently at his words. A bundle of emotions, something so good to see after so long. It was almost as if a wave of relief washed over her, it was someone she was not tasked with "saving" it was a normal person, someone she could have a normal conversation with with nothing weighing her down.  For the once standoffish woman, she never thought she would be so thankful to be able to converse freely with someone. 

Once he was finished with his greeting, she pondered her answer.  There was so much that she could answer, but also so much that Ven would probably not understand, and because she did not want to needlessly worry him, she opted to keep to herself about it, as usual. - 

``You're right... but I can take care of myself.``

- Although the worlds still held that gruff confidence, there was a small smile tugging at her lips, a rare occurrence in the past; but it was as if her once weighed down spirit had been lifted as of late. -
