[ffiv: cecil]

i.

The battle is won; your path set right.

Sheathe now your sword, new-made paladin; some things were always meant to be.

ii.

Some things were never meant to be.

Wear your dark armour well, fallen one; it is the only one you will ever bear.


[ffvi: celes]

i.

Opera singer, Returner hero, woman who saved the world.

These are your titles now; the rest have been forgotten.

ii.

Maranda burns; Doma withers and dies.

Have you any regrets, General? The Empire has no room for those.


[ffvi: leo]

i.

Your name will be lost to all but those who knew you.

Rest in peace, Leo Cristophe; honourable man in a dishonourable world.

May you never be remembered with hate.

ii.

You could have tried to stop him; you did not.

This is the truth, and you must live with it.

May you, one day, find peace.

*loves these* <3

Paladins! How appropriate, Mysti. =P

*mourns the lack of Beatrix?*

[glacialphoenix]

XD <3

I wanted to write a Beatrix one; it didn't work out so well. I think that'll be the one I try next.

I love it! Now I have another reason to play FFVI x)

[glacialphoenix]

Awww, thanks! And yes, you must play FFVI!

[deadcellredux.livejournal.com]

I love these, especially the Celes segment--"These are your titles now; the rest have been forgotten"-- how true, and how applicable, perhaps, to all of the characters in FFVI, and what they've become in the World of Ruin and after the downfall of Kefka.

[glacialphoenix]

Thank you! <3 Celes is one of my favourite characters, so I'm glad you think I did her justice.

POINTS

6 Points to Team Black Mage!

I love your writing style--it's very poetic in its imagery and scope, and you did an incredible job fitting the song lyrics to the individual character stories. All three were very fitting and powerful. ♥ :D

Re: POINTS

[glacialphoenix]

Yin - it's 1 point per 25, I think it's 5, not 6? ^^:

Thank you! <3

Re: POINTS

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Ah, actually...since I usually divide the 25 words into the word count on a calculator--I will usually round up to the next number if there is a decimal point that is ".5 or higher." Yours was "5.48" so I rounded that to "5.5" and went from there. But if you'd like one less point I suppose I could change it, lolz. Sorry about that and any confusion! :D

Re: POINTS

[glacialphoenix]

Oh, I see. Er. Um. I have no idea, really... XD

Re: POINTS

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Sorry again. XD When it's really close with the division, I just always tend to round up since it's only one point (and if people are really close to getting said point, why not just give it to them? ♥). Is it okay if I still keep yours at 6 then? ♥ :D

Re: POINTS

[glacialphoenix]

More than okay! <3 Thanks.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

These are so awesome! Great writing style. :)

[glacialphoenix]

Thanks, Breyzy! Glad you liked. <3
