melodiesoflife | Event || In Your Worst Memory

Characters: All Heroes of Light. Only those who signed-up can start a memory.
Where: Interdimensional Rift
When: May 27th - May 30th
Summary: The Heroes of Light relive some of their worst memories, with a twist. All characters participating in this will be physically missing from Crystallis for the duration of the event.
Warning: It depends on the memory.

Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Everything around you freezes, nearly as if time itself stopped, as if the world was frozen in time. And before you have a chance to understand what is happening, you can hear a voice right behind you.

"Kali Shashidhwaja."

Should you turn around, you may see a child who seems to be the only one aside from you unaffected by what is happening. And as she stares right at you, it makes no doubt these strange words are aimed at you. But before you can reply to her, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you know it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, Crystallis vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see.

And once again you feel different: all the powers from your Jobs are fading. Not only that, but you might find that your Crystal is gone and your clothes back to what they were before you woke up in Crystallis. It is silent, cold and before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you... And yet, slowly the world reforms around you. The darkness fades away and a new world appears, yet at the same time this is not a world.

This is a memory. The question is, is it yours or that of someone else?

"Your father..."

Robin swallowed. It confirmed what she suspected -- what she already knew -- that this was a memory. She couldn't change what happened here; even if she did, it wouldn't have really changed anything. It was a terrible thought. Robin's eyes sank, slowly, towards the ground.

"I'm sorry," she said, her voice growing quiet. "This was where you grew up? This... world?"

And these soldiers, Robin realized, took her from it.

Terra shook her head feeling weak as the attack drained her. "I don't remember this place." She had been to young when they came. All she knew was what the Empire had showed her.

The man before her didn't see her as his child. Instead she was just another enemy. He roared again as his power built. The air around him charging as he changed form.

Terra watched realizing why she had transformed into that beast. Her father had chosen to be human for her mother but he wasn't. He was the creature before him now how sought only to kill those who ripped his family apart.

Robin swallowed, but she nodded. She knew what that was like. She had no memories, either; if she saw her father, she wouldn't know him, she suspected. She looked sideways at Terra and hesitated, her head bowing. It was terrible, she thought, to have to witness this and know how her family ended. She couldn't help but feel the rage that Maduin must have.

But, Robin thought, that rage likely wasn't enough. Even if she couldn't intervene, she couldn't change what was happening here. She shook her head sadly.

"I'm sorry, Terra."

Terra shook her head looking back at Robin. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to see this." She smiled before stepping forward. Her father could see her but he only saw her as those trying to tear his family apart. His claw swiped down her front and Terra crumbled to the ground.

The beasts eyes then fixed on Robin as if seeing the girl for the first time. He roared loudly before throwing a wall of flame at her still form.

"No, it's okay. You--wait!"

It was too late. Maduin struck Terra -- the older Terra, but still his daughter -- down. Robin's eyes widened with terror, before she looked up at the creature. She saw the fire that he hurled -- and she spun, before thrusting a hand out. A wave of thunder fired, slamming into the wall of flame, and held it at bay for a moment. She ran to throw herself between Terra and the Esper.

"Wait!" she called out. "We--we aren't your enemy! We aren't of this world!"

The monster was beyond reason. He saw his home burned and his family be torn apart. He didn't care what was to come anymore, he fought like the beast he was. Power rippled from him in waves as if he was the essence of magic itself.

The soldiers around him began firing and Maduin took care of them with a flick of his tail. Then those in armor came shooting missiles at him. He roared and his eyes glazed over in rage as he sent dark magic at everything around him.

Robin might remember the spell as Ultima and she was also in it's path.
