Fire Cavern Fray! {Admin:Adiona}

[Edward "Ed" Enir]

It is a pleasant day on the floating continent of Balamb Island. A solitary figure walks the peaceful Garden with steely blue eyes gazing onward into the distance. His intricate, lustrous armour makes a no sound, thereby does not disturb the tranquil atmosphere present this early morning.

Everything about this day soothes Edward’s fighting soul, even if he should be a touch concerned. Today he has the mindset to attempt the Fire Cavern, in order to attain the Eidolon, Bomb. Such a trial would distress some; however, at this moment, very little could ruin Ed’s serene mood. He knows that whatever happens, happens. If he is strong enough, he will succeed. If not, he will work towards getting more powerful.

It could have been far worse but the fact these women were able to get into Balamb Garden undetected was far more serious than the damage caused. "Edward there you! I've been looking all over for you." Instructor Treppe. One of Balamb's Garden youngest instructors and one of the most proficient, she at the moment oversees all of the SeeD field exams and over 90% pass under her instruction. She ran up to your side and turned her whole body towards you. She was dressed in her comfortable orange dress with her blonde hair tied up, her black leather whip was attached to her hip which bounced against her as she ran. "You may have been out when the attack on Garden by quite powerful mages occurred. It is now a top priority to get all able bodied SeeD recruits through their exams so they can be dispatched where necessary. Are you ready to go to the Fire Cavern." Her expression had changed from relaxed to quite serious after she had finished speaking, whether you had been inside Garden or not during the attack was not the issue. The fact that student lives were at danger inside the sanctuary was. Behind you your ears would pick up the sound of quick heeled footsteps, a young blonde haired girl dressed in a SeeD uniform ran up by your other side and stopped just in front of Quistis. She saluted before glancing to you. "Instructor Treppe you asked to see me?"

He snaps out of his oblivious state as his superior, Treppe, a young woman with impeccable prowess, arrives at his side. He raises his hand and gives her a salute, and stands at attention as she talks. Strain is evident in her voice as she speaks to him, mentioning the importance of completing his final exam, and more importantly, the attack on the Garden. Edward was indeed off the premises when the twin witches assaulted it. Albeit, he would not have been much help if he was around. He would have defended the Garden, regardless, with the rest of his SeeD family.

The sounds of oncoming footsteps alert him to the arrival of a blonde hair girl. The girl, Erinna, joins them and Ed gives her a nod out of respect. Ed wonders the purpose of this girl, but does not question her. Being new to SeeD, he does not fully know the protocol, and therefore, it is not his place to dispute.

Steely-blue eyes turn back to Treppe and he confidently states, ”I am ready.” As he says the words, however, he begins to ponder if he really is ready… Nevertheless, he has to see this through. He wants to begin his own journey, and to do so, he has to be successful here first.

Erinna stepped back to stand next you, she was quite a petite young lady but filled out her uniform quite well. Her long blonde hair was immaculate and it was obvious she took very good care of her appearance but something told you she wasn't a snob about it. "Very well. This is Erinna she is one of the highest ranking SeeDs and has expressed an interest in becoming an Instructor. She will shadow me on this field exam. Let's get going then." Erinna nodded to show she understood Instructor Treppe. She kept her eyes on Quistis as she began to walk out of Balamb Garden. Erinna tried to keep up with your walking pace but found it a little difficult with her short legs. How she got through her field exam was a mystery. "Good luck by the way. I'm sure you will do great." {Make your way to the Fire Cavern.} [/style][style=width: 420px; padding: 5px; font-family: verdana; background-color: #9d89a0; border: 1px dotted #6b586f; border-top: 0px; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; color: #584d5a;]words ☆XXX tags ☆ muse ☆ notes ☆ credit to ZETTA of LS & BTN[/style][style=color: #c1c291; font-family: georgia; font-size: 26px; font-weight: italic; text-transform: lowercase; margin-top: 10px; ]Which Side Will You Choose?[/style]

After clarifying the purpose of Erinna’s presence, Edward is not sure whether he should be happy or nervous. He has to be confident, however. If he begins to doubt himself, he would not be able to succeed. Thus, he decides to welcome the additional company. Perhaps this would give him an opportunity to make a name for himself among the SeeD organisation, seeing as two high-level SeeDs would witness his ability.

Following the steps of Instructor Treppe, the company leaves the Garden behind. As they walk, Erinna, who is struggling to keep up with her taller comrades, bids him good luck. He cracks a small smile and thanks her, ”I certainly hope so. I hope I can do all the training I have received from this great institute justice.”

From his recollection of local maps, their destination, the Fire Cavern, lies east of Balamb Garden, at the edge of Gaulg Mountains. It would not take long before they arrive. Edward could hardly believe that this is his final examination. It seems like such a short time ago he began his training at this prestigious establishment. He remembers arriving at this place with nothing or no one. Now he has first-class instruction in combat and a family he would die for.

Looking around him, they would be nearly engulfed by forest, if they did not have a path, clearing a way to venture. Regarding Instructor Treppe, she carries herself with such poise for someone so young. He regards her with admiring eyes, wishing to one day be as successful as her. Even Erinna, to his side, as amusing as it is to watch her try and keep up, he can tell she has worked hard to get where she is at this point. He wants to feel that accomplish: to work hard and achieve greatness. In time, he keeps telling himself. There were many stepping-stones to leap first.

Noticing a change in their surroundings, they step through a clearing to the mouth of a cave, notably the Fire Cavern. He knows they arrived because at the entry of the cave, stands two individuals in SeeD uniforms, ensuring visitors have proper authorization.

Upon arrival, Edward waits for further instruction. While lingering, he ensures his favoured spear is securely strapped on his back. He would not make it far if he did not have something to defend himself.

The young female SeeD appeared to be in awe of the Instructor and really who could blame her. Around Balamb there was a lack of strong female role models. "With Quistis overseeing your exam you can't go wrong. She instrucuts you yes but she leaves you to your own thinking during the battles and problems. I hope I can be half the Instructor she is..." A quiet sigh escaped her lips as Erinna began to quicken her pace to keep up with you and Quistis, she glanced to you and you could notice her small cheeks were a bright pink colour. Was she blushing? Erinna looked you up and down before she tore her gaze away to look ahead. The Fire Cavern was not far away now and the start of your field exam. "I haven't seen you around Garden before, did you transfer from Trabia Garden?" Quistis looked back at you both for a few moments until she turned back around, the Fire Cavern was in sight now. The moment was almost upon you, all of your training had come to this very moment. "Ok SeeDs we have arrived. Edward make sure you are prepared before we enter and Erinna please keep your.....weapon at the ready and try not to transform."
