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?

The force of the blast forced Ven backwards, but he caught himself and stayed on his feet, sliding back across the scarred earth. While the creature's focus centered on the soldiers, Ven darted around to the side, on the same side as Terra. He'd been looking for an opening, but when he spotted her sprawled figure, he didn't think twice. Hoping he wouldn't be seen too soon, he shifted direction and ran over to her, again casting a couple rounds of Cura.

"Terra!" Reaching up, he pulled off his helm and let it fall to the side, anxiety all over his face. "Terra, hold on, okay? Just a little longer!"

He would have to end this, soon -- otherwise no amount of healing could help her, if that thing kept attacking them like it had done so far.

Terra’s eyes slowly opened as the warmth of Ven’s spell washed over her. She should have been stronger but even in this form she held back against her father. She didn’t want to hurt him. Her eyes looked at Maduin as he attacked the soldiers around him. He was getting weaker and soon he would be killed. She hadn’t even gotten to talk to him. To figure out more about the man who gave her this power.

Her claw slowly reached up towards Ven as pain laced through her again. Her body arched and slowly Terra turned back into the delicate girl with mint green hair. She looked up at Ven, her hand falling back towards her chest as the power she once had fluttered away. She felt so tired but she knew if she fell asleep she might not wake back up.

“Ven…” Terra licked her lips, her throat dry and her voice soft. “I’m sorry… Please… run… run from him…He will die… soon…”

"Then you're coming with me!" he said resolutely, but other than taking her hand, he didn't try to pull her up. He didn't know how badly she was hurt overall; his healing spells couldn't cure more serious injuries, and if she'd had anything broken...

He spared a glance up at the monster again. The soldiers were doing a good job of keeping it distracted, so Ven looked back to Terra. "Terra, come on -- don't rest yet-- Do you think you can move?"

Terra slowly tried to rise to her feet. Every nerve screamed with pain and she felt herself collapse forward. She looked up at Ven and smiled her usual shy smile. "I will... we'll go together."

She felt weak as she tried to raise herself up again. Bit by bit the scene around them faded to black. First the sky and then the mountains in the distance. They the soldiers around them and the Maduin as the Esper slowly turned to crystal. Then the ground until it was only Ven and Terra in the darkness.

"Thank you." Her words were distant before she too faded and they were separated into new memories.
