Pinnacle Rocks

The heights of the mountains overflowed with fresh spring water rolling down rivers through the indentations of the slopes. The air was thin, but clean and pure here, allowing for much vegetation to grow all about the clifftops. Bark, vine, root and ivy entwined and entangled themselves about the mountain's expanse, forming what is known as;


Along one of the long, thick roots lifted up over the rushing stream like a bridge would be a young girl walking leisurely, yet curiously through the forested area. She seemed lost.

Ordering Disorder, controlling the uncontrollable, or channeling the chaos through Chao's Revenge hadn't been a simple task, but it hadn't taxed him or weighed on his resolve as much as it would have any lesser man. The cacophony of Yeul's grated on his ears the longer he forced control on her overflow of discordant emotions, but he would restore them to piece soon. It was the whole reason for this trip.

"Indeed it is so. The sooner we find Yeul, the faster we restore Etro." Caius replied as he materialized into the world that Lindzei was able to pull them into. He'd never seen it before, or he had and played it little mind. Either way, he hadn't the need or want for sightseeing. Instead, he scoured the land with his crimson gaze searching for head or tails of the distortion being caused by Yeul.

On the ground, roaming around near one of the many fresh water springs was what looked like an elderly man, cane in his hand and slumped over, resting his weight upon his oaken staff. Heavily bearded with nothing but frosty white hairs, which even clumped up over his eyes as his thick and shaggy eyebrows, the man would suddenly get a chill up his spine as a wind passed him by. "Hrroo!!" he cried out suddenly, turning his head up, "... Something's a'comin..." He was not sure what, but when he did look up, he noticed that there was a strange girl walking by. He wondered if what he felt was her. "Hrrrmmm..."

Lindzei wasn't wrong in her perception of the wind. There was an ominous in it that Caius felt as well. he did not tremble, and there was no chill in him, considering he had a goal in mind and would see it through to the end.

If it must be done, he had no qualms with returning to adventuring like a normal man. Those memories were some of the most precious of his life and he'd like to relive them. It would help with sensing the Chaos and Yeul if they were on lower ground and could narrow the scope of the respective sights. Being able to see everything made it easier to see nothing at all.

He walked to the edge of peak and aligned himself properly slide down the rocky slope, surfing the surface, with the greatsword Chao's Revenge affixed firmly to his back. When he reached the ground, he took no time to wait for Lindzei to finish her graceful descent and passed through the brush of trees to find himself on the main road.

The old man watched the girl as long as he could before she was too far out of his sight to be seen any longer. He didn't wish to pay her any mind, but felt precarious about her appearance and sudden disappearance. "Hrrmmm..." he groaned under his breath. "... Wonder what a young lass like that's doing around here?" The elder rested himself upon a nearby rock with a smooth surface, gazing into his reflection in the stream as he leaned on his cane for support. He seemed tired. "It's dangerous around here..." Batting his tired eyes slightly, rustling his bushy brows, he inhaled the clean air deeply and exhaled sharply. "Well, I'm sure that's none of my business. Mrrrmmm..." Finally, he came to full rest, looking into the water thoughtfully.

((Legitimately can't even remember why we were doing this.))

Lindzei wasn't saying anything that Caius hadn't already been considering. He knew that their being here could disrupt the events that needed to take place in this world. While effecting change in time for someone of this world wasn't quite chaotic, them enacting change would destabilize this world and have it be absorbed into the chaos forever more. As was their nature currently, until they could correct the Yeul here.

So, he paid the talkative goddess little mind, and instead used their precious nonexistent time to use the heart in order to searching for any sign of the Yeul of this world. While it did nothing in identifying where she was, it did alert him to the anomalous wind that both he and Lindzei had been privy to. "We have to follow the wind."

(Yeah, that'll happen if things get postponed for a long time. But it gets smoothed out if you just go with the flow of the story. That's how I remember when I forget. XD I don't have to always remember. Just have to post, and it just comes back. )

The older man that was resting and minding his own business would become alarmed once he heard the tree fall, turning his head quickly to where the startling noise had come from. "Hrm!?" he cried, lifting his head from his cane. "... Hrm." Suddenly, the old man started to fade away.

When the man reappeared next, he would not be standing any longer, as a normal old man would, but floating in the very midst of the path way between where the falling tree was and where these two strangers were going. "Have you disturbed the peace of this place?" he said in a straight forward manner, holding his cane now behind his back as his tiny legs floated over the ground.

(Final Fantasy world is falling apart; Caius asks for Lindzei's help to restore Yeul; The broken pieces of Yeul are causing the Final Fantasy world to fall apart. Bringing the Yeuls back together to restore Etro and resolve all the Chaos and save the Final Fantasy Realms.

Also... Think of it as your character just cosplaying another character from Final Fantasy universe.)

Once Caius discovered the distortions and trailed it via the Heart of Chaos, Lindzei would heed his words and begin to follow where the anomalous wind would take them. Before they got too far, a strange man literally appeared out of nowhere before them, hovering over the ground. It was clear that he was no normal being that existed here. Engaging with him would prove to be less chaotic and disruptive to this realm than if they'd dealt with something that was more common here. "... You are no ordinary old man," Lindzei said rather obviously, wondering what it is they should do about this person and what it was he would do about them. "We have not disturbed this land, but we seek out the being that has. Have you seen a strange little girl about?" It was best to inquire since they were forcefully engaging with this being. There was always information to be collected.

A large void appeared suddenly, swallowing up Lindzei, Caius and Yeul. Even though it swallowed them up and erased them, the void itself would remain before the old man, distortions rising from it intensely.
