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?

K'pandolu hissed, one hand going to her claws. She'd never even seen a transformation like this. How was it possible? But the fact of the matter was, now she had him to deal with- and none of her companions. Those soldiers were there, but she didn't want to rely on them, even if they could defeat this beast. Y'shtola would have made a better assessment of the situation, without her advice, K'pandolu had to make her own decision.

She held her ground for a few more moments, then shook her head, reaching for the power to strengthen her defences. His words reminded her of Titan, summoned in the name of protecting the kobolds, and she knew first hand how dreadful the primals could be. "I'm the last person you need to say that to. And I believe I'm not your enemy. If you want to fight- look around you!"

She didn't bother gesturing, keeping her eyes on Maduin, waiting to see what would come next.

He didn't seem to hear her words as the soldiers around him formed into lines. To him she was just another, standing among them like she belonged in that twisted culture.

A loud roar echoed from his chest as lighting pulsed from his body. He held has hands out and the power was unleashed aimed at those who have collected around him. K'pandolu was in his path seeing her as a soldier and paying her no mind. She can run from him but if she stays he will fight and she was positioned to get hit either intentional or not.

The soldiers around her fell and men in armor took their place reading missiles at the great beast they sought to destroy.

That was undoubtedly a mistake, staying where there were imperials about. She made an effort to defend herself all the same, arms up and turned away to try and keep from taking the worst of the attack. It still hurt, worse than she remembered Ifrit's flames being, and she wondered- was he possessed of more than two elements?

But this was hardly the time for such thoughts. She stared up at Maduin for a moment, debating, then glanced at the soldiers around her and decided. These ones seemed distracted, but for how long? And there were others, surely…

She took a few steps back, and activated Fists of the Wind, to aid her movement. Then, taking a moment to centre herself, she ran- moving around the soldiers as best they can, in the direction she remembered the young girl heading.

Elements weren't so restricted to those who could use magic in the Esper world. Terra herself took on aspects of her father being able to use fire and lighting as well as a bunch of other spells.

The war waged on as the soldiers continued to beat down the terrifying beast. Even without K'pandolu's help he would be defeated like he had 13 years before. Another loud roar echoed through the world as K'pandolu ran towards the young girl. She wouldn't find her and each step away from the conflict made the world slowly vanish.

First the sky and then the mountains in the background. After a moment only K'pandolu was left and then she was ejected from the dream.
