Note: This is just a short update so I hope you enjoy reading it. I also made a few changes to the creature that appears-I am sure you know what creature I'm talking about. Anyway, enjoy! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The owner of that voice belonged to a very handsome male. He owns a pair of beautiful green yes and pitch back hair and pale skin. His body is robust but as he stood there with his hand stretched, he looks more like the kind of gentleman that any girl would want. He surely isn’t a prince but from he was wearing; he belongs to a wealthy family.
“I...” You glanced at Gippal who only glared at the man.”I..don’t know how to dance...sorry.” It was a bit embarrassing to admit it, especially with Kain,Warrior of Light, Firion and Cid.. They had been stuck to you since you arrived to the ball.
The male who just invited you to dance only smiled and the glare he was receiving from Gippal was enough to shoo him away. “So what was it that you were going to tell me?”
Gippal opened his mouth but nothing came out of it.”I...I...” And from the looks of it, it seemed something very important.
The music was still going on and couples were dancing, overall, people were enjoying themselves so far.”Oh my God! What is that!” A man cried from the entrance. The people began to pile up eager to see what the male had seen. You heard gasps and screams males and females. Soon, the thing or whatever they were seeing started to move deeper in the ball-room. Since whatever was getting closer seemed dangerous, Kain, Warrior of Light and Cid had placed themselves around you’ protecting you. That actions didn’t please very much for you were eager to also see what was so terrible that people were even trembling.
Soon people were huddled together and the warriors that were to protect the princes stood on guard, ready to protect them. That however, did not leave the princes from grabbing their weapons and stay on guard as well. It was then that you spotted a few forms and you could have said that they were human if it weren’t for those golden glowing orbs they owned.
“What is that?” Finally you had to ask not really sure what you were looking at. Before anyone could respond, you heard screaming from outside the ball-room. When the screaming was over, even more forms entered. Zack,Cloud and Angeal stood close to Riku and the other princes, the others doing the same. The guest that were close to them were pushed closer to the other people and you weren’t sure why most of the princes and guards had very serious faces on when they did so. The situation that you were all in didn’t seem quite right, there was more that they feared.
“Stay back.” And you were pushed to the back, where the king stood coughing very badly. He didn’t look very good so you did as you were told. When you neared him, you placed him on his throne so that he wouldn’t collapse. When he controlled his respiration a bit, you looked back at the forms and since you were now a bit on higher ground, you could see a bit better. Now you understood why so many were terrified. The forms were definitely not human, on the contrary, their eyes glowed you could see come claws where their fingers should be. The were not wearing any clothes, yet they did not show any signs of being male or female. Their flesh resembled the same dark color as the night. Big and sharp nails were also on their feet. At the top of their heads stood two long- you weren’t sure if they were horns or something. That wasn’t the only thing that caught your attention, there was a symbol of some sort on their chest. Where the heart should be, a symbol of a black heart with a red outline and spiked X crossing through the heart in the symbol. The symbol also glowed, the creature gave you shills as well.
“[N...]....[Name]....” What seemed to be a growling was heard. As it reappeared this, it was then that you all realized that it was calling your name.
The King coughed and tried to stand up, you were shocked that you failed to notice the king’s hand on your shoulder.”I-” he coughed,” I should have known.”
He pulled you close and after he grabbed your mother’s hand, he led you upstairs. You did not take your sigh away from Balthier,Gippal,Reno....Cloud, Zack and everyone... Before they launched themselves into battle, they glanced back at you to make sure that you would at least be safe.
You on the other hand, you cursed. A weapon you did not hold, and the attire that you were currently wearing would make it impossible to battler. As you gave them a last glance, you just hoped that everyone would be okay. The creature calling your name stuck to your head and you simply could not get rid of it. Why...why had it called your name? What was that thing?
You had been taken to the king’s chamber, he made a move to grab the sword but he was in no condition. You had to take it in your hands but before you resumed your fighting position, you took off your gown and were left with only your undergarments. The King blushed and growled at your actions but once you all heard some noises from outside the door, he could only turn away.
As you stood in-front of your parents, you just hoped that your friends, princes or the guards wouldn’t catch you in such state. It would be degrading but you refused to be defended by your old and sick father, who wouldn’t be able to defend anyone at the moment.
