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?

Yuffie wanted to scream at her. This was stupid! Why would they leave now when they finally reached her? Why can't she let them help her? Some of her questions didn't really make sense to Yuffie but the young girl was used to teenaged temper tantrums which came with a torrent of unclear and unwanted emotions.

She stomped her foot on the ground.

"Why would we let you jump!" It wasn't safe here for any of them and they shouldn't leave someone behind.

There was a brief break in her expression, hearing that. After all she'd put her guardians through -- it still warmed her heart to know that they didn't want to abandon them. Especially you, Rikku. she thought to herself, as her eyes washed over the place where Yuffie stood.

"Don't worry, go," her voice was strong, confident. She wasn't going to let them win, not anymore. Now was the time to carve her own path... shape her own story.

"This is foolish," Seymour interjected, still with that air of superiority about him, despite his disapproval. "If you fall, you'll die."

Glaring at the maester, Yuna's brow furrowed and she lifted her arm to drag it across her lips, a disgusted noise sounding from her with the gesture, as Seymour smiled smugly, looking on.

"Don't worry," Yuna spoke only to her guardians again, choosing not to respond to Seymour at all, "I can fly..."

Yuffie ignored Seymour, as far as she was concerned he was a jerk like Don Corneo and deserves to get punched in the face. She shook her head at Yuna.

"No..." Her voice was soft as she watched her friend. This can't be the only way? She wanted there to be another way. Her fingers curled into fists and her mind blanked on what to do.

"... Believe." Yuna smiled, giving a nod in return as she drew in a breath. She closed her eyes, clasping her hands together. Valefor... Valefor you'll come when I call you, won't you? In the pit of her stomach, something nagged at the summoner, twisting in knots. Nothing... will happen to you, will it? A flash, the sight of Bahamut writhing in pain.

The mage squeezed her eyes shut tighter. No, this wasn't that place -- Kalki wasn't here, the power of the dark crystals wasn't here!

A sharp pain in her side caused her to wince, but she stepped backwards all the same, falling, down... and down...

Tidus was right alongside of the thief, shaking his head as the girl has voice the words. No... then finally, a nod.

Rushing to the edge, the blitzer peered over the ledge, the very real distance that was between the altar and the ground starring him in the face. He reached a hand downward as the summoner fell further and further "Yu..."

"Yuna!" Yuffie ran forward looking over the ledge to see her friend falling down the miles of space between then and the ground. She was sure that Yuna couldn't really fly but she had jumped anyway.

It was crazy!

Yuffie watched in horror praying that something or someone caught the foolish summoner.

Her eyes were shut tight as she felt the ground slip away from under her. She squeezed them closed even more, clasping her hands tightly together.

Valefor... Valefor!

Nothing happened. Yuna's descent seemed to gain speed as her heart raced faster. What... what was going on? "Valefor!" she called out loud, her eyes snapping open. No! Why wasn't she answering. "Valefor!" she screamed, her voice, and the desperation in it, surely reaching the high altar.

Panic-stricken, her faith shaken, her wide eyes looked up to catch the two figures looming over the edge. But where she had been certain Rikku had once stood, now there was only... "Yuffie?!" Yuna cried out, just before the gruesome splatter of flesh meeting ground sounded.

Quiet and still now, there was only a twitch from the summoner's body... as a dark red stained the white marble around her.
