[Pick up... You're the only one I can talk to about this.]

...hello?

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

... I was talking with Eiko ...

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh, Locke!

Is this about...what we discussed earlier?

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I'm holding a link to Phoenix.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Pause. She knows that that Esper means to him, of course.]

Then...your search is over, isn't it? If there's a way to bring it with you to your world....

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Do you think the link will work across our worlds?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I don't know it would...but if there's a way, we'll find it. Hold onto that pinion and we'll keep searching, okay? I might have some news of my own to tell you soon, and maybe it will help.

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Tightens his grip on the Pinion.]

I'll never let it go.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. Where are you now? Still in Figaro?

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Figaro? Not now. I'm in Treno looking for Celes and Sabin.

Do you know Sabin?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I spoke to him, briefly. He seems like a nice man. Is he going to be running Figaro instead of Ashelia and Rasler?

He is Edgar's brother...

But he never wanted to rule.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

It would be unfair to throw it upon him now.

[Filtered]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

At least it's his choice now and not mine.

[Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles.]

True. That must be a relief.

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I guess some of us weren't met to be Royalty!

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

The world needs its treasure hunters, too!

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

When we going?

[Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Any time after this summoner meeting is possible, though whatever news I get from the spirit of one of my Eidolons might change this. I don't know, we'll have to see what she says first.

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Do you talk to them a lot? Other than a few, most of our friends didn't talk much.

[Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. Whyt most often, but I seek advice from Asura and Leviathan regularly. And there's my mother's dragon....

But this feels different, and I don't know if it's just because Anima is different from anything else I can summon. Something isn't right....

[Filtered]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Guess that's why your the summoner.

[Getting serious]

Not right? Are you gonna be ok?

[Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I don't know if any of us are okay, that's what I need to find out.

Did you see that video of a man atop the Iifa Tree? I've heard that it's Garland, the one responsible for what happened here years ago. He's supposed to be dead....

[Filtered]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

That was Garland?!

Who? How?

But Rydia, He's dangerous. Almost as much as Kefka.

[Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Even more so in some ways, if he control the cycle between life and death, not to mention our memories. Given what's happened so far, I don't think he cares to wait for us to finish Kefka. We might have to deal with them both.

[Filtered]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

oh.

We'd better get a move on. Kefka's enough to deal with on his own.
