Post #1817726 in FFX: Guardians of Spira, a roleplay on RPG

Everything was happening so quickly. She prepared herself for the impact that would take her life. She could feel everything slow down around her as she had flashbacks of her childhood...

"This spell is called, Cure, Elle." Mother Maryia smiled at Elle as the older woman placed her hands over the small, blue, wounded forest creature layed weak in the womans lap. Elle's eyes widened as a bright light emitted from the womans hands. She was only seven years old when she witnessed her first spell casting. Mother Maryia's eyes darted from the creature to Elle as the woman's passive face struck a smile. The light disappeared, and the creatures wounds were half way healed."Oh dear, it seems the spell didn't completely heal the wounds of this creature. Elle, how about you try?" At that age, Elle didn't know any better, thinking that Mother Maryia truely didn't have the potential to fully heal the creature, but now, Elle knew this was Mother Maryia's way of introducting Elle to white magic. Elle took the creature into it's lap, with a puzzled look on her face, she eyed the creature, then at Maryia."What if I mess up?" The young, beautiful child said."You won't dear, just imagine all the holy powers of the Universe flowing through you...through your body. Imagine you forcing that energy into this creature. You have a gift, child. It will come."

Elle closed her eyes. Over the course of a few seconds, a dim white light was produced from the childs hands, with them susspended over the creautres frail body. Mother Maryia's eyes widened, she was surpized that Elle had learned the spell so quickly, with a meer discription. Mother Maryia used Libra on Elle, seeing how astonishing her Mana Pool was, for such a young girl, a girl ment to be a healer."Look Mother, Mother I did it! I healed the creature!" Before Elle could continue her happiness, the small creature spreaded its wings, and flew out a nearby window in the stone made room. Elle begun to laugh as she looked up in Mother Maryia's crying eyes."Yes my child...yes you did."

6 years later...

"No, Mother Maryia! You can't leave me, you can not die, I won't allow it, I'll use everything you taught me to keep you alive!" Now 13, Elle's weeping eyes was buried in the shoulder of Mother Maryia's old, dying body."Hush now, you'll scare the children, Elle." Mother Maryia snapped at Elle, who was still crying and holding on to her teacher and best friend." I am old, it is my time. I have passed on all my knowlege to you, and with that, you must spread my legacy, I will never die, as long as you teach those, and protect those around you. Elle, you must be the teacher of these children. Though you have a lot to learn before you will become a Devout, you are a wonderful white mage. Do not give up. You're destiny is great, I've seen it. You will do many wonderful things, you just can not give up...don't give...up." With her last breath, Mother Maryia placed her hand into Elles. Exchanging that last pulse, that last signal of life. Elle's lip begun to tremble. Mother Maryia was gone. Elle buried her head in the old womans stomach, crying silently, so she wouldn't worry those around her.

The sounds of magic, bullets, and the slashing of a sword woke Elle up from her trance. And within a couple of seconds, like an angel sent to save her, she saw Yuri's face. "Are... Are you okay?" He said, she was about to reply, until she saw the wounds covering his body. They were horindous, too much for anyone to have and try to still stand, let alone fight! Before she could reach out and touch him, he aknowleged another. A black mage. Aura, whom Elle only knew because Elle has been one of the few healers to have healed her after she'd try out a new spell or to help others learn spells. It must have been a automatic Libra impulse that caused Elle to sense the fact that she too was a guardian. A powerful black mage and an advanced white mage? The spirits must of had something planned. Though in a time like this, there was no time for stalling."Yuki!" She called. She knew he was hurt."You might feel a slight----tingle. She said looking deeply into his eyes." She placed one hand, barely caressing the side of his cheek, and the other one on the side of his neck. He was warm, and she could feel his pulse beating quickly, as though he'd just gotten out of a rage. When she touched him, images of a demon locked away in a cage in a dark room crowed her mind. It scared her, though she didn't let that stall her. She closed her eyes quickly, and a bright light emmited from her hands, small flickers of light begun to tap on Yuri's body. a light begun to stitch at his wounds, causing them to heal in less than a few seconds, until he was completey free of any wounds. She removed her hands, of course he was still drenched in blood."Um," She said softly,"Do you need a napkin?" She asked him in a strangely concerned voice.
