Two weeks ago, my younger sister, Nathalia Lilac Ladeia, fell ill to an unkown sickness. My mother, the Leader of our tribe, got in as much contact as she could with some of the world's greatest doctors but still none of them knew of a cure. Now, she lays in bed, unconcious to the world, the sickness getting the best of her.

"Listen carefully," the voice spoke "Once you accept your fate, there will be no turning back. This sickness you bare does not have a cure. The only way you can live on in life is to become bounded to the Chaos of Valhalla. Once you are bounded, there will be changes in your life. The Chaos will become your ally, but you will be cursed with immortality. You will outlive your family and your loved ones. You will live to see many deaths, is this what you want?"

"If its the only way to live on in life, then I will accept this offer." Nathalia spoke with confidence. It was just like that, Nathalia thought, Everything was changed afterwards...

"Nathalia? Are you feeling any better?" a voice spoke in a gentle tone. Nathalia opened one of her icy blue eyes and saw her sister's amethyst eyes filled with concern.

"Yea, a lot better actually." Nathalia spoke softly. She sat up from her bed, her deep ocean blue hair falling behind her back. Was it all just a dream? Or was it real? Nathalia thought.

"Oh thank the goddess Etro." her sister said, hugging Nathalia closely.

"Hey, Arystillia? You're going to think I'm crazy for saying this but while I was asleep, it felt like I made some kind of foolish deal to become immortal with a man clad in black with purple hair. He said it was the only way to be cured from the sickness..." Nathalia spoke, worried that her sister might have thought she went crazy due to the sickness.

"You were probably hallucinating or dreaming it. Who knew what that sickness had to offer?" Arystillia said trying to reassure Nathalia.

"You're probably right." Nathalia gently spoke, resting herself in her sister's warmth. Arystillia let Nathalia go and got up from the bed.

"I should let mom know that you woke up." Arystilla said, smiling faintly before turning around and left. Each step she took, her navy blue hair swayed. The Chaos will become your ally, but you will be cursed with immortality, Nathalia remembered those lines and they meant a lot to her, What if this was all real? Arystillia came back after a few minutes and sat on Nathalia's bed again.

"Mom said that if you're up to it, there has been monsters spotted outside the tribe and she wants to know if we can go and put an end to it." Arystillia stated.

"I guess so. If they are really bugging our tribe then I would like to stop them once and for all." Nathalia said smiling.

"Then you should get plenty of rest tonight, we'll leave at dawn." the older girl said. The younger nodded lightly before lying down in her bed again. Arystillia left the room and Nathalia layed there thinking about the dream she had again. That man, I know him from somewhere... He looked a lot like... no it can't be! Nathalia thought before drifting off to sleep.

Arystillia returned to her room and sat on her bed thinking about what Nathalia said to her early about the dream she had. Arystillia knew that the dream was true and that Nathalia was tied to the Chaos but she didn't want break it to her sister yet. That and the fact that she was l'Cie of Pulse. She lifted her side cape and looked at her brand using a mirror. Not much time left, Arystillia thought, I have to have Nathalia by my side in order to fulfill my Focus. The navy blue haired girl plopped down on her bed and sooner or later fell asleep.

The next morning, Nathalia and Arystillia left on their assignment together. Half way there, Nathalia stopped walking and stood there.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nathalia asked.

"Tell you what?" Arystillia asked back.

"That you are a l'Cie of Pulse!" Nathalia snapped.

"It doesn't matter. It never did. The thing that matters now is the fact that your dream was not a dream! It was real!" Arystillia screamed.

"I know that it was real! But that doesn't matter! If you don't complete your focus, you'll become a Cie'th! What will you do once that happens?!" Nathalia shouted.

"I already know how to fulfill my Focus." Arystillia said, avoiding eye contact.

"Does mom know?" Nathalia asked. Arystillia shook her head, her hair following the same motion.

"Listen, when I complete my Focus and I become crystal, promise me you won't do something stupid." Arystillia pleaded and place a hand on Nathalia's shoulder.

"I'll try, that's the best I can say." Nathalia spoke softly, looking at the ground. They both contuned on their assignment until they were attacked by an unknown monster.

"Nathalia! Stay back! I'll handle this!" Arystillia demanded, pulling out her staff. Nathalia ran to hide behind a boulder. Why am I so useless? I can't do anything right! Nathalia shouted to herself. Arystillia swung the sharp end of her staff at her monster and then did a combination of Blizzard and Thunder to finish off the monster. After the monster was deafeated, the older girl looked over at the younger one, smiled lightly and collapsed onto the field of grass.

"Arystillia!" Nathalia shouted as she ran over to Arystillia and faced her towards herself.

"N-Nathalia..." Arytsilia spoke weakly "Please don't...do anything stupid...after I become crystal." Arystillia closed her amethyst eyes and slowly became crystal in Nathalia's arms. There was a moment of silence until Nathalia broke out into tears.

"I promise I'll bring you back. I swear it.' Nathalia said to the crystal Arystillia. Nathalia left the crystal intact when she decided to leave but something stopped. She was teleported to the place of the Fal'Cie and was held as captive for several hundreds of year...

"That deal you made with me will one day come in handy. I will bring you to here one day." the figure clad in black spoke before fading into the darkness.
