[ffiv: edward]

He spins her tale into a story and tells it to all who will listen; they take it home, and tell it by firelight and candlelight to their children, and to their children’s children.

And with each telling, he thinks, she lives again.


[ffiv: kain]

He wonders if his father would be proud.


[ffvi: terra]

She is esper-child, half-fey; the fire cradled in her hands a remnant of the past she cannot recall.


[ffix: black mages]

Little mayfly mages, spun of mist and magic; they dissipate too soon, fading back into the aether as though they had never been.

Their memories will be part of the sky.


[ffx: auron]

He does not forget his promises.



+1 [ffvi: rachel]

There is a man who lingers anxiously outside her door, constantly inquiring after her health.

She wonders why he bothers; after all, she hasn’t seen him before.

These are beautiful! I love how you manage to put so much emotion in each snippet and yet using so little words. "Little mayfly mages" is now my favorite way to describe the black mages in IX. The image of fireflies dissipating just breaks my heart (and it also reminds me of a scene in Grave of the Fireflies ;___;)
