Snippet #769126

"Listen well, an odd story to tell. Machines of pure light, halt the dark well. At least eight there are, scattered here and there. And what of you? How do you fare?"

Ziab turned her head to the sky to a cloud flying over her, the raven was really doing his job, covering the whole world was impossible so she was using it as a amplifier so her zone to receive images could be bigger, thanks to it Cormik physchic "line" was able to enter Ziab´s radius, "How I´m doing... to be honest this is troublesome." Watching the images coming from the raven head she could see a group of people be troubled by soemthing inside the academy but anything else.

"So this is halt the dark... if I force the skill they will notice someone entering their minds specially that guy in the bue clothes and funny hat..." Ziab lowered her head sighing making the world mad would be easier since it seemed the only place being protected was the academy... "ey... hey... Hey! Zawa you ok?" Ziab turned to the girl to her side using a fake name was just a habit for Ziab giving the real one was losing time... now apparently she was so lost in reading the raven´s mind that her ice cream was gone now. "To let your ice cream melt like that... is something wrong?" Ziab started to rub the girl´s head smiling "Don´t worry I am ok now... Hey... eh... hmm... Kalysta.... have any problems happened her before" The girl opened her eyes widely after a moment her sight look like lost and dizzy, it took a moment to her to start shooking her head slowly "No... there.. are a lot of...trainees here and Lady Aerith and the others work hard to protect this place." Kalysta ended nodding very fast and with her normal look again, she hadn´t notice that her name had been changed.

"I think I have to act more seriously now..." Kalysta look at Ziab with doubtful look but respecting her "friend" silence. Ziab was contacting Cormik with her mental skills "Cormik... think I got who set the machines up, just need to find the "master mind"..." Images started to jump from Ziab´s mind so Cormik could see them, images of the academy, Leon, Merlin, Aerith, Yuffie, Nagare, Cid and Tyro "These ones are inside the building... going to act now."

Ziab standed up looking at the sky, the people around her started looking at the sky too, even if it was a beatiful sky the people was starting to see it gray, full of clouds and... creatures, flying creatures that weren´t common in Radiant Garden... they looked like bugs made of rock and steel. The people started to get scared wondering what was happening when a voice was heard "They say that the academy has the answers..." . After a moment the people started to act like if they were dizzy Ziab created a huge illusion to confuse their minds, now she was talking in their minds in the right direction. "The academy will not share the answers..." The people started to get nervous and angry the one talking said the true! The academy always give answers when needed! "Maybe we shall take the academy until the menace in the sky is gone...". In a matter of seconds the people started to act as an agry mob moving together, screaming and almost running to the academy.

"What is with them?" Kalysta turned her eyes to Ziab for some rason she wasn´t manipulated like the rest, Ziab shrugeed "How should I know? The one that knows this place is you... anyways let´s go, show me the rest of this place." Kalysta nodded and started to pull Ziab´s arm talking about the guardians of Radiant Garden again "Hmm I wonder... Will your guardians be able to fight individuals that aren´t possesed by darkness?" Kalysta laughed loudly and started patting Ziab in her back "Why would they do that? And people can be possesed?" Ziab shrugged a little without stopping "Who knows... let´s say someone is buying time for others using the things that are near, in this case people..." Kalysta winked fast and tilted her head to a side "I don´t really understand you..." Ziab continue walking acting af she was the one guiding, she only wanted to be far away so her darkness wouldn´t mess her plan and at the same time if the others were to appear better to let them have free space.
