A crystal-laden beach washes all traces of footprints on the sand. AQUAMARINE eyes looks aloft, sky that was in perpetual storm, clouds flying through the wind. In VALHALLA, a sole entity governs it’s will, Etro. Goddess of death, she chose this plane as her resting place, selecting but one knight to guard her slumber. Lightning walks along the shore of this alien world, the calm atmosphere reminds her of the late-night stroll she && SERAH would take. Her unblemished hands ( back then ) would hold Serah’s fragile palms.
But that felt like another life, she looks at her hands now, leather bound && gloved, yet calloused underneath. Lightning allows a smile form on her lips, how she has transformed throughout her life. First she became a soldier, promising a secured life in the future, then a l’cie ; branded && scorned. Now she stands armored, with orichalcum plating, && gold embellished, the knight of ETRO.
In this desolated land, she stands alone to inhabit it.
or so she thought.
Lax pace in foot, turns in haste as she saw a small figure washed away a few meters from her. As she got closer, Lightning saw a boy no older than eight or nine (?) clad in black. Upon reaching him, Lightning knelt down, a soft clicking of steel are heard mixed with the waves of water. Lightning turns him to face her, as she rest his head to her left arm. Her right hand then glows in turquoise as she cast a CURA on the boy.
“ Wake up– —.” Her right hand pats his cheeks.” WAKE UP– !!!” Her voice louder, panic seeping to her tone.
