...Why...

Does it matter? This world is unworthy of us. It has no crystals. It is below the notice of Baron's order.

Not again... How could I...

How could you? How could you not! This world has stolen us from our home! It has taken us from our vengeance!

Then again, those beasts might be helpful in retaking the crystals once we return to Baron. It is our duty to acquire as many as we can.

We don't need them! They are just as useless as the rest of them! As useless as the rest of you! Only I have the strenght to do what we must! Only I truly exist!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. Please, you have to believe me!

There is no point in apologies. They betrayed us, did they not? Our own son, turning against us. He deserves no less than death.

They abandoned us, did they not? Brother and Kain both! Even Ceodore and Rosa chose them over us. They must pay for this!

I don't want to hurt them! I never wanted to hurt anyone! I never meant to kill-

But you did.

Ceodore! Rosa! Kain! Brother! Everyone! Please, forgive me! I never wished for this to happen once more!

...I'm sorry...

But you did not want to, correct?

[This is breaking his heart, to see his friend like this.]

Cecil, they can and will believe in you again. I know they will. They are your friends! Even here, on this unknown world, you have friends who believe in you.

...If I defeat the girl... If I destroy all of her bodies, and whoever is leading them... Will I be forgiven? Will I be able to heal my world again?

But as long as I'm here, I can't... Even if you four are here with me...

You will always be forgiven, Cecil!

[He actually wanted to smack Cecil. Why couldn't the man see that he had loved ones nearby, to help him through this troubled time until he could go home?]

In time, you will go home and you will defeat that girl!

I... I...

Do you think... that they'll let me apologize... until I feel I don't have to anymore? Even if I do so over and over again?

...I still need to grow stronger, don't I.

Strong enough to go home... strong enough to protect them...

Cecil, they will let you apologize only one time. They would never expect you to apologize over and over again.

[He sighs softly. Okay, seriously, time for a bro-hug.]

[Hugs feel really great right now.]

.........How strange........

I feel like the darkness could take over my soul again at any time, and yet...

I think I feel... like myself again...

[He might be crying. Just a little.]

Being able to use both light and darkness, together... Somehow, I'd forgotten...

The darkness will always be there. [It's sad but true. And yay for hugs! You get more, since it seems to be helping] But as with darkness, there will always be light.

[He gives a smile]

But now you remember, yes? You have the power to turn darkness to hallowed light.

In both myself, and others... yes...

[So does he. As a matter of fact, his face seems to have actual expressions now.]

I did it, a long time ago. So did Kain, and Brother... And now I shall do it once more.

[And that smile is a welcome relief!]

Good. Now... perhaps we should go back inside?

But the flames...

[He stops and looks around.]

No, there are no flames, are there. Illusions?

Yes. I cannot find the cause. There are many other I have heard who are caught in these illusions.

First, those nightmares, and now mass illusions... We must find the source. It is certainly not benevolent.

It started when the fog came in. But from there, I have not a clue.

The fog? I wonder how far it has spread...

As far Violet City, as far as I can tell. The PokeGear has yet to give off a voice of reason. Nearly every voice I have heard was full of terror.

Are Squall, Zidane and Warrior of Light also affected?

I have not heard from them. Only you.

We should try to find them. They might also have fallen under the fog's influence, or they could have an idea about its source.

[OOC: Light is here (http://for-cosmos.livejournal.com/2967.html) if you want them both to help him out. :3]

We should check the in first, then. Light should be there, at the very least.

Last I heard, Squall was also nearby. I don't know about Zidane, but he said he was travelling with people from his world. If he's not alone, he'll be less vulnerable.

Squall is here, (http://transient-lion.livejournal.com/6868.html)if you two want to jump into that one as well.
