Characters: Anyone who's been in the game
Where: Aqures Ixen
When: August 3rd
Summary: A story is over, many others are about to begin. Friends may reunite and rejoice together, friends may part and say farewell to each over forever. But even if you should leave your friends behind, your voice shall never forget their melodies.

Following the battle against Kalki, the sacrifice of old friends and the second destruction of Aqures Tosf, Palitutu cast all Heroes of Light into the Rift, each of them finding themselves in an all too familiar void. And yet... Soon the void vanished, as it had once before. This time it was all too clear none of this had been a dream. Upon coming to their senses, the Heroes of Light will find themselves on the outskirts of Aqures Ixen. Music and laughter can be heard coming from the city.

Is there a celebration in the city? Shouldn't it be filled with corrupted Heroes of Light and on the brink of destruction? Before they can do anything about these questions, the Heroes of Light are submerged by a wave of fluffy white balls of fur and fluff- the Moogles who helped them for all these years and are now overjoyed to see they are safe and sound. As they once did before, the Moogles will answer all of their questions, but also drag them into the city. A celebration is indeed taking place and why, it appears they are the reason the celebration is happening. The music is joyous, the people are happy and all appears to be for the best.

Upon reaching the third district, they will see familiar faces. Cid, Wedge, Biggs, Parajapati, Mograma, O'aka and many other friends they made along the way. They will all clap for them before congratulating them and taking part in the festivities. There are more familiar faces, however. Where once stood the Crystal of Fire is now a statue depicting four Heroes of Light: Sephiroth, Minato, Tears and Sayaka, all four of them brandishing their crystal and weapons in a heroic posture.

Whilst many might be sad and mourn them, perhaps this is also an occasion to celebrate what they were in life and carry the memory of their deeds into your own life. Melodies of life, come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.

OF all the faces she expected to see, these two were not among them. Alisaie's eyes widen slightly, doing her best to keep her jaw from contacting the earth beneath her feet. The Line was bad enough, but the ones who finally made it in front of the line, however...

Great, googley moogley. It's all gone to shite.

"I-Inspector Manderville, surely you have a case to solve, correct?"Please tell her you do, lest the fourth wall shatter into tiny little bits as Raubahn glanced down at her with a questioning look.

"Ah, Alisaie! My good fellow Hero, it is good to see you once more!" Exclaimed Hildibrand, holding up a hand in greeting.

"Cor, it's been a while isn't it?" said Nashu with a perky grin. "Me and the Inspector do have a case, but the good sir Flame General hasn't let us pass yet."

"Verily, so we stood in the queue for the last three days!" Added Hildibrand. "Even my own father is several hours behind us. There is a case which is on the air, and my newfound heroics will undoubtedly be of some use to everyone here!"

POSE. POSE. MANDERVILLE TEETH GLINT.

It's fortunate for Hildibrand that yes, she recalls the term far too well. Has done much to keep it silent, despite still holding onto that small tome with all the names and sketches she had of each and every one they had journeyed with. Even these two. Which meant that Raubahn raised what she assumed was an eyebrow.

"Hero? Mistress Leveilleur, what is he speaking of?"

Alisaie let out an exacerbated sigh, waving it off. "Naught that concerns the current mission. Pray, pardon us a moment?"

He gruffly nodded, but watched after her and her two strange companions - should they take the hint that they follow her.

"Gods, it's been ages. Though no doubt it was shorter to you in comparison," she stated, making small talk. "You do realize this is a war zone, correct? Not that I doubt your stamina for taking blows, of course."

Hildibrand and Nashu followed, Nashu humming a song from another world as they stepped towards a secluded area of the building. "Do not be too worried about my power of combat, Miss Alisaie!" Exclaimed Hildibrand jovially as he held up a finely crafted sword. "Though the Hildibrand's be goldsmiths and culinarian by trade, we are also finely attuned to the martial prowess set before us. My father is a supremely talented fighter, as with my mother."

"And the Inspector wouldn't be the same without me," replied Nashu. "Already we went and found the Adventurer AND Mogleo! With four of us in a party, it shouldn't be too bad, since the good Manderville family is on the case."

"Also, my father has gifted me with a good blade, similar to what I wielded previous." said Hildibrand, patting the sword on his side. "Though it isn't a weapon I prefer, using my wits rather than brawn, I spent the last few months before the war effort preparing for this moment when my services as a Hero is needed, as with Nashu who has crafted endless bombs."
