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?

Ashelia sighed, shaking her head. "She is, however, not. It isn't easy, Yuffie. It never is. But you must carry on; you've no choice. For your people." That's all there was to it, in the end.

Ashelia stood again and shook her head. She didn't think there was much more she could do; she had said her piece. "Carry her close to your heart, and think of her in times of strife. Carry on her legacy, for your people should never have to carry on without that love."

Yuffie looked up at Ashelia pressing her palms to her cheeks with a snuffle. "Do you think my dad blames me?" Her voice was small and fragile as she looked towards Ashelia.

She didn't always care for the bossy queen but right now she needed someone and Ashelia was there.

Ashelia shook her head again. "No. I know he does not. He...he blames himself, I'm sure." The queen crossed her arms, looking down on the young woman. "He blames himself. For being unable to protect his people. For being unable to protect his queen. For being unable to protect his daughter from war's horrors. This, I know."

Yuffie's palm wiped at her tears as she tried to compose herself. It was hard and it was worse knowing that Ashe had seen her in such a state. She cradled her face in her hands for a long moment trying to compose herself but it didn't come. Her body shuttered and jolted as the shots sounded again. They sounded further away than before and yet Yuffie was sure the scene was still playing.

It always would.

Suddenly she felt like a lost child again. The little brat who had stolen Cloud's materia and not the girl that bit by bit grew up. It was her friends that had changed her and despite her tendencies she wanted to help. Her heart was always in the right place. She fell in on herself thinking of her past, her father, and her friends.

Her sobs slowly stopped but she didn't look up. Ashelia would notice that the scene around them began to fade. The sounds became distant and the sky and scene faded to black. Yuffie looked young standing with her face clutched in her hands but she was accepting the scene that she had been forced to watch again and again. She didn't say anything to Ashe. Instead Yuffie shook her head and then vanished as Ashelia was kicked into another dream.
