Requests
“Lillian, there is something we would like you to help us with.” Yen Sid announced as both Great Magi sat on the blue cushioned marble bench. They were all seated outside on the balcony in the empress’s personal room.
“What can I help with?” she looked at the two elders with curiosity.
“It is about Sora. I believe he has the ability to become a Great Magus.” Merlin explained to the young female.
“Oh?”
“Yes, now we would need your help with his training. A magus born with the ability to become a Great Magus will always be strongest with their birth element or elements. Yen Sid will be teaching Sora fire, I have taught him earth and water and since air is one of my two primary elements, I shall be teaching him air. Your primary elements are water and spirit, quite rare, so we ask that you teach him spirit.”
“Would I be able to think about this?”
“Of course, Areith just let one of us know right away when you make your decision.” Merlin smiled at her. Ever since he had taken her under his wing she had seemed like a daughter to him and to her Merlin was a father. The both held a love and respect for each other; they were like family but sadly saw little of each other anymore.
“Thank you father,” she whispered to him as they embraced in a hug. She hugged Yen Sid just the same way and both Magister’s left. She had seen Yen Sid as a uncle in her youth and carried it along with her still.
The breeze hit her and she let out a sigh. She looked down into the water garden her husband had specially made for her. Every cloudless night, when the moon shone bright, the peaceful souls of those long past will fly around the water garden, singing their beautiful hymn. After she would walk the paths set inside the water garden, sometimes accompanied by Sephiroth. When Riku was a baby she used to bring him to the garden at night. He would try to catch the spirits, but they would dissolve like mist and reform a little ways in front of him.
The last time Riku ever tried catching a spirit was when he was five. She, Sephiroth and Riku were sitting on one of the circular platforms looking out at the gorgeous garden. Lillian had gone for a few moments down one of the connecting paths, leaving Riku and Sephiroth. Riku was seated in Sephiroth’s lap, trying to catch the spirits and getting frustrated when he couldn’t. Sephiroth had his bare feet in the water, his arms tightly wrapped around his son as he looked at the souls flying around.
The group of souls Sephiroth was looking at seemed to be circling something he couldn’t quite see, he didn’t even notice when his arms loosen on his son. That was all the boy needed, Riku leaned further over to grab a specific orb, lost his balance and fell in. His scream snapped his father back to reality and without a care Sephiroth dove in after Riku, who had not appeared at the surface. Lillian came running as she heard Riku and Sephiroth’s screams and arrived just in time to see her husband dragging both their son and himself out of the water. After that Riku hardly went into that garden, even during the day, and never tried catching a spirit orb ever again.
“Maybe he’ll go tonight with Sora. He seemed pleased to show off his home and spend some time with him,” Lillian whispered to herself.
“Remembering something?” a deep voice asked
“Yeah…” she turned around smiling at her lover. Sephiroth stood there looking regal, proud and dignified as ever. He wore the same clothing from the morning. A rare smile he only kept for his family now replaced the usual stern look.
“Are you alright? You have been here for a hour.”
“Has it been that long?” Lillian asked, surprised, “the Magister’s only left the room ten minutes ago.”
“No, they left forty five minutes ago.” Sephiroth walked towards her and held her to him, “memories can make the time fly.”
“Yes. Sephiroth…Merlin and Yen Sid have asked me to help them train Sora. He has the potential to become a Great Magus. They want me to teach him spirit. Since a Great Magus will always be strongest with their born abilities…and being that Merlin was born with earth and air he will be teaching Sora those and Yen Sid is fire and air…but they rather me teach Sora the spirit element. I think I should…I need a second opinion,” she looked directly into his shining aquamarine eyes as she explained all of this.
“I agree with you. This child needs help to become a Great Magus and there is no one better suited for that other than you, Merlin and Yen Sid.”
“Yes,” Lillian nodded
“Areith, you will make a great Magister to Sora,” he whispered into her ear before giving her a loving kiss. They wrapped their arms around each other tightly as they kissed one another.
“My Magister’s,” Areith spoke as she sat before the two men in front of her. They were all seated in a large room. “I have decided to accept the position as third Magister to the young apprentice magus Sora Strife.”
“We are pleased that you have chosen this. It will help in his education.”
“So this is the western garden?” Sora asked as both boys’ traveled across a coble stone path with wildflowers surrounding them. The western garden resembled a typical English garden. It was full of life and colour, something Sora loved. Riku began to see the goofy side of the hyper innocent boy and Sora began to see the jokester side of Riku. Both felt as if they had known each other forever and they got along so easily. Riku had shown Sora the North and west hardens and now the sun was beginning to set. The sky was being filled with golden rays, which soon turned to pink and yellow.
Riku felt Sora grabbing his hand and he looked down to see the younger boy becoming nervous. Without asking Riku knew, Sora hated the dark and Riku began to pull Sora with him to a path that would lead them to the palace.
“Hey, its alright, you’re with me. I won’t allow anything to get you,” Riku smiled at his new friend and Sora seemed to relax a little. “I guess I shouldn’t ask you if you wanted to see something beautiful tonight?” This perked Sora’s interest
“Oh?”
“It is the eastern garden, a water garden.” The words water garden made Sora smile even more, “at night it becomes filled with the souls of those who have died and don’t wish to leave. They sing a gorgeous hymn that used to lull me to sleep when I was younger. Don’t worry,” Riku added quickly when he saw Sora’s apprehensive expression, “they won’t hurt you. They’re very peaceful and playful.”
“Alright, as long as you don’t go far,” Sora looked at his friend for an answer
“Promise,” Riku grinned down at Sora, happy he didn’t get refused from this request, “well supper is soon and I’m sure you’re hungry since we both missed lunch, I know I am.”
“Yeah, lets go,” Sora grinning letting Riku show the way.
“What can I help with?” she looked at the two elders with curiosity.
“It is about Sora. I believe he has the ability to become a Great Magus.” Merlin explained to the young female.

“Yes, now we would need your help with his training. A magus born with the ability to become a Great Magus will always be strongest with their birth element or elements.
