Daring rescue missions.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Characters: Warrior of Light, Firion, Tifa Lockhart, (Tidus if he is coming?)
Progress: Incomplete
Summary: Firion got himself trapped in the Ice Caverns, but his friends are finally coming to rescue him.
Location: The Ice Caverns
Date: July (Not long after
Warnings: Hopefully there won't be any need.

The journey from the swamp where he had appeared to this place had been wearying, after having just (in his timeline, anyway) defeated Chaos, but he drove himself to continue. He was still needed, so he would not falter until his task was finished, no matter how tired he was. After all, simply walking there was not any great feat, simply one that took determination. He had done more difficult things for that in the battle against Chaos.


He had made the journey as quickly as he could, and once he arrived, he paused to rest while he waited for Tifa and Tidus to appear. It might have been more productive to begin the search for his lost friend, but he was tired, and it would be better for him to wait until he had others with him. He had already told Firion of the foolishness of going off on his own, and to then do so himself would be hypocrisy, especially if, in his weariness, he became injured. So instead of starting to search, he took a seat on the ground and stayed there to rest.

While he stopped to regain his energy, he caught sight of a glint of metal from among the rocks. Curiosity piqued, he stood and walked over. It only took a moment to shift away the small rocks covering it to reveal a blade, reddish in color and familiar. It was Firion's sword, with his other weapons piled underneath it and mostly hidden from view.

Carefully, the Warrior of Light began to remove each one, checking them for damage or dulling to the blades. Firion had said at one point that most of his weapons were taken, but this might as well be all of them. He was stuck in the Ice Caverns with only a knife to defend himself. At that realization, the Warrior began to search for the entrance to the Caverns. This was even worse than he had thought.

There were two entrances to the Ice Cavern: one down on the Mist-filled plains and one high up on the plateau not far from Dali. After flying to South Gate, Tifa and Tidus hired a pair of chocobos and headed to the lower entrance, which was closest.

Tifa was worried about Firion. How on earth had he got himself stuck in the Ice Cavern? She knew that he was upset about Cloud and Minwu's disappearances, but she hadn't realised that he would choose to go somewhere so dangerous. And Warrior of Light... What a strange name. She didn't know who he was, only that he was another comrade of Cloud's and the others in that strange other world they spoke of. He had only just arrived; it was unfair to leave it to him to rescue his friend.

"There it is," she said, spotting the dark mouth of a cave. She turned her chocobo towards it and approached cautiously, peering through the Mist.

Getting a bit squished XD;

"It is alright Tidus, he will receive his punishment in due time," Firion replied, reaching out to place a hand on his companion's shoulder. "But let us concentrate on leaving this place. He may be responsible for putting me in here but I was the foolish one and he knew it."

He just wanted to forget it ever happened.
