It had been too long since Zell smelled the sweet scent of seawater. He had lost track of how long he's been in this new world now. Days turned to weeks, so on and so forth. But the Pale Coast brought back some memories that he had not recovered since coming to Zephon. His hometown and family flashed to him now and brought back only one name; Balamb
The ocean waves calmly rushed onto the beach sweeping up any marks that were left in the sand to smooth out the surface. Even the sounds of the rushing water was soothing. It brought a calmness to the SeeD that he had been lacking for some time. Maybe this is where he would stay if he was truly trapped on this world.
But there were still other memories locked away that he wanted to uncover. He knew of his former occupation, the Garden, his family and friends, and now his hometown. But he couldn't for the life of him remember what happened before he arrived on Zephon. In fact, the recent events prior to his arrival seemed to be lacking moreso than details like names and face.
Regardless of what was missing, Zell knew that his memories would be recovered in time. It was just a matter of finding the proper triggers to have them return. If the beach helped bring back some memories of Balamb, then maybe there were other settings that would have a similar effect. Hell, maybe, just maybe, he would even encounter someone from his own world.
The Pale Coast would be nothing more than a rest stop for not. A day, maybe two at the most to relax before moving on with his journey. And it seemed the other lost souls he encountered had something similar in mind. Many new friends came and went, all of which pursuing their own goals. That left Zell with the question: who would he run into next?
The sound of water. It brought calmness, but lacked a feeling of logic or understanding. Had he not lived close to water before? No, that did not make sense. Does that mean he had lived close to water? For some reason, neither statements felt like they were logical. Perhaps he was created where he woke up? Was he simply a magical being? But then again, he felt no connection to the Bayou where he first became conscious. Every question he asked himself felt like it didn’t have an answer. Tonnerre could only accept it, that no matter how much he thought about it, his origin was to be and feel enigmatic to him.
This lack of intuition, lack of defined answer forced Tonnerre to stop thinking about the questions. Don’t waste time with what questions you can’t answer, after all. It disturbed him, but with a sniff all that thought was dispelled. The smell of saltwater caused the Moogle’s concerns to vanish. The sound of ocean water washed away his confusion, his mind no longer busy Hopefully it would also wash away the tire he had. The Moogle’s appearance would say he’s a far cry from tired, but he felt tired all the same.
He approached a small hill overlooking a beach and a shoreline. His small fluffy stature didn’t make much of an impression on the hill, but he didn’t care for it. His expression was that of pure neutrality. He descended upon the hill towards the beach, his steps being light, even, quiet. His robe and armour shook a bit, raising and lowering with each step. He saw another character on the beach. Taller than himself. Something else instead of fur. He felt like he should know a specie name, traits. But he didn’t. He couldn’t recall anything. The only logical language elements his brain would come with is ‘person’.
Well, that was going to be a pleasant conversation starter when that came up. Who knows, maybe this person knew who or what Tonnerre was. There was a better chance that he’d find answers here than at the hands of the monsters whom he’s been slaying. The Moogle walked with confidence, moving towards the water. He stayed a good five meters away from the human, calm steps moving his robe forward. He would now be in Zell’s sight, the light purple robe and the white furred ears in full sight for the SeeD to see.
Tonnerre avoided looking to him directly, eventually standing still close to the water’s edge, silently observing the ocean, feet in the sand. He didn’t know what to think of the person, and wanted to be ready to defend himself. Tonnerre felt that maybe he should be the first to speak. But he lacked something. Was it courage? Maybe. Perhaps it was a certain idea of recklessness it had to him to say something first. Maybe he also just wasn’t sure what to say.

Right on cue, Zell's internal question regarding his next encounter seemed to produce the answer. However, it was not one that he would expect. From seemingly nowhere, The short moogle waddled past the SeeD, surprising him enough to have Zell flail a little when he jumped back.
"Whoah!!!" He'd heard of moogles, but Zell had never seen one in person. From what he could remember from his home world, they were more of a mythical species that would only be referenced to on occasion, such as Moogle Cakes and the MogMog Basketball team.
"Are you....a Moogle?!" Zell inched forward towards the creature, absolutely mesmerized by the appearance. It looked similar to the depictions of moogles that he remembered, but was still different in its own unique way. "My mind is, like, blown right now!"
He inched closer, slightly lowering his body as he approached the moogle. His fascination of the creature only made things more uncomfortable in this situation. "So, like, you got a name little dude?"

Not far off from the pair, in quite plain site if someone looked their way was Serah, along with her partner Mog were watching the pair. Serah was leaning on her knees staring at the pait with the curosity while Mog floated around her. She was curious, she didn't remeber seeing anyone else of Mog's kind. Though... If this was another moogle it had a few differences when compared to Mog. Still she coudn't help but look at all the similarities to.
"Do you can recognise it Mog?"
The moogle shook its head in response.
"No, he's not from Vahalla, or the Ocean that I remeber Kupo!"
Serah tapped her chin in thought. It seemed all kinds of people had been brought here to this world. Was it another realm like Serendipity or the Coliseum? A place at no certain spot in time... A world all it's own. It defently wasn't hers, she knew that much. This world brought her and her sister, even Fang to this place. As far as she knew something made in this world latched onto her. But... She was going to free her, they knew where she was.
Today was the day of rest before hand, the calm before the storm, as a playful poke from Mog reminded her. Today she should smile, today she should relax. Because tommorow she would be a soldier for her sister, like she had been for everyone else. She fid like meeting new people so... She decided she would greet this otherwordly moogle. She was curious how similar he was to Mog, besides it would take her mind off of what was to come. So she would stand and make her way over, alone the say noticing a second person already speaking to the moogle. A wild looking man at first glance, she got the impression from his hair and his facial tattoo. She could pratciully feel wild and heroic from her. Wild and heroic like her Snow.. she wished he was here with her, she could use her hero right now...
She gave a playful wave to the duo near the water as she approached. She hoped she wasn't interupting anything but she just had to know!
"Hello! My name is Serah... And this is Mog! I hope were not intruding but..."
She turned to face the smaller of the two, leaning back down to face him.
"Me and my friend here are curious... Are you a moogle to?"
Curiosity glowed in her features, she just had to know. If he was... Then this was great for Mog, it would mean their were moogles in this world to!

He had already been surprised once today by the moogle coming out of nowhere. Now it happened again, inciting an even more intense flail because of the girl that spoke up next to them. "Gah!" Zell staggered back quickly but managed regained his footing. Was he really that easy to sneak up on? Two different people have already scared him by casually strolling up on him. Would there be more? The thoughts caused his head to swivel around quickly to make sure that no one else was going to do it.
"Oh! Uh," Zell tried to casually laugh, rubbing the back of his head to play off the reaction he just had. "I'm Zell!" A quick examination up and down led him to believe that she was also foreign to this new world based on her attire, just like the last few people he had met. He had to ask, just to be sure. "I take it you aren't from around here either?"
The blonde teen didn't even notice that Serah had introduced her companion until she turned in a way that he could get a clear view of it. "Whaaa! Another moogle?!" Zell couldn't help bounce forward towards Serah and Mog to examine the small creature. "Two in one day! This one is different though. Mog right?"
Having realized how awkward he may have made the situation, Zell forced a few blinks before taking a step back. "Sorry. We don't have moogles where I come from." A shaken laugh followed, trying to play off his erratic and eccentric behavior. In an attempt to normalize the meeting, he wiped his hands clean and held one out for a friendly shake.

She seemed to surprise the man, his reaction making her giggle. She wasn't trying to be sneaky, was he that deep into speaking with the moogle? He seemed innocent enough to her. It seemed his name was Zell... She honestly found his additude adorable so far, it was refreshing to her. By his question it seemed he like her and her sister wasn't from this... Realm ether. Though she was glad to see a new face it but at the same time it saddened her another person was torn from there home. Was their a reason for it all? She wasn't sure... But she knew it wasn't for their benifet, her sister was proof of that.
"That's right, where I'm from is way different than this place. From what I understand me and my sister just... Woke up here one day"
She wasn't sure what happened to Light after that, but whatever it was led to that parasite controlling her. Her sister was suffering... She was going to end it, she was going to set her free. Then... They could be together again...
One thing at a time Serah
She shook herself from her thoughts when Zell began talking to them again. She continued to find the actions adorable, while Mog himself backed away a bit in the air.
"That's right kupo! No touching the hair, finally got it done right after Serah..."
Mog's words trailed on as Serah stepped foward curisously. She tapped her chin in thought once more. That was something their two worlds had in common. She had assumed their two worlds were different but... No this was such a small thing. After all the Moogles were from the Ocean Of Time right? It made sense they wearn't in other realms ether.
"Their not in mine ether actually or... They wearn't I actually haven't really looked since... Mog?"
The moogle shook it's head sadly, a clear answer to the question.
"Oh... So that's why you came back... We'll find then Mog! We've already seen one! After we help Light..."
She really needed to get her head together, this was the rest day... She needed to remeber that, she also needed to not drag anyone else into this. She, Fang and Noct... They were responsible for her sister's freedom. Besides... It was rude to Zell. She accepted his handshake with one of her own, a wide smile on her face.
"I'ts nice to meet you to Zell!"
Mog gave his own wave as his part og the greeting. Serah felt content for the moment, talking to others helped relax her.
Though the thought of how her sister would defently mistake this situation under normal circumstance made her chuckle just a bit more under her breath.
Zell MIGHT not have the same reaction if the situation came about though.

"Jeez. I'd have never guessed there were so many of these distant worlds out there," he said after the two had shaken hands. Serah wasn't the only one who was content with meeting other lost souls like herself. It calmed Zell, knowing he wasn't the only bastard lost in this place, even if she was the fourth one that he had met so far. However, she seemed to be the friendliest among his new acquaintances so far.
"So what do you make of all this?" he asked, turning towards the sea. The waves continued sliding up and down the beach, like one large eraser that smoothed out the sands with each pass. Zell tried to keep up the conversation, although every moment on the beach was making him more and more homesick. "Why do you think we were taken from our homes and brought here?"
The SeeD didn't even consider the fact that Serah may not have retained her memories of her home world. Zell didn't, and it wasn't until recently that they started coming back to him. Did she experience that, too? He knew that Prompto kept his memories, but Tifa didn't. And who knew how many others there were just like them in Zephon, just waiting for a chance to go back home.
"Do you... do you still remember where you came from? Coming here, like, wiped my mind or something. I dunno. I'll get flashes of what my old life was like, but they never show the whole picture, ya know?"

"Where I'm from their were only two I knew of... The place I lived in, where everyone alive lived.. and Valhalla"
The implication of who lived in Valhalla was likely easy to guess, the fallen... The dead. A world where weak spirits served strong ones.. She remebered learning about it from Mog and Light. It... Wasn't a place she was sure she liked much, but she understood why it existed. Though... She did feel bad to. The other Yeul's had to stay there now, forever... Even if it was willingly that kind of life... It didn't seem like a happy one. Even after all she went through against Caius she felt bad for him to. For both of them their fate was to forever look after the dead. She had to wonder... Did they regret it?
She looked out to sea as Zell asked his his question. Crossing her arms she tried to think up an answer. It was something she often thought on herself. As much as she disliked it she could at least get why this world would want to grab people like Lightining or Fang. They were powerful warriors, they could make things happen. But not everyone brought here was a warrior. Her only other real guess was the world, or whoever was doing it needed a varity of different people. But why? For what purpose? Part of her wanted to know, to know why they were dragged from there homes and dropped here.
But so many times learning the truth had made everything so much worse.
"I've been curious myself, me, my sister amd a friend were brought here at different times. Maybe... It needs people for something? The world or... Whoever is doing it. Or maybe they just enjoy plucking people up and seeing what they do... I just don't know yet, I coudn't say for sure"
It seemed the man was having memory issues. Litle bits at a time but nothing reliable. That was just... So sad. Sarah coudn't imagine forgetting her life, forgetting about Snow or Lightining... It would be horrifying! Just the thought was, she imagined for Zell it was must have beem very hard. What if he had family or loved ones he coudn't remeber? He was stuck getting random glimpses and she just knew that must be something he didn't like.
"Sorry... I do, I remember everything from before I came here. Do you think... Maybe you hit your head when you came here? I know trauma to the head can have that effect sometimes... It must be so hard not being able to remeber your past outside of small flashes"
She frowned, it was just such a terrible thing not being able to remeber your past. If it had happened to her she was sure she would be lost, she coudn't imagine losing her memories. For Zell to be acting as calmly as he was about it...

Serah's response to his question made Zell's shoulders slump forward, releasing a sigh with it. "Damn." He quickly pulled himself back together, turning to her once more. "I'm still not sure why I'm here, either. But you know what? I can handle it. I've traveled across this place for a while, but I know there's gotta be answers somewhere, right?"
Back when he was still in Provo, Zell managed to take a look at a world map that was posted at a tavern. The were many locations that seemed isolated from the rest that didn't have much of a colonized presence. The SeeD had decided that if he can reach the Pale Coast, he might be able to find a boat with a captain. Hopefully it wouldn't be hard to convince them to carry him along the rivers to the Crystalus Divider, which is where he expected there to be a fresh lead.
"There's this place that a lot of priests travel to. I heard about it back in Provo; it's called the Crystalus Divider." He wasn't sure if Serah had heard of it yet, but if she wanted to know what was going on like he did, maybe she would tag along. Zell had been travelling on his own up to this point, only encountering others briefly along the way. He could feel that there were people in his past life which he missed, but he was unable to recall their names or faces. Maybe travelling with a new ally would help stir something up.
"I was hoping to find someone with a boat out here. Ya know, to help me get to the Divider." Zell had his plan, but he didn't know if Serah had other plans. He wanted to ask if she would like to tag along, but the blonde knew it would be an awkward question to straight up ask. There had to be a more tactful way of doing it.
"What about you? Have you figured out what you're gonna do yet?"

"You defently look like you can handle yourself! Honeslty it reminds me of my Fiancé, I know you'll find the answers you seek!"
She wished the best for this man, more so if he really was similar to Snow. He just wanted to find the fragements of his past. To follow any lead that could lead him to it. She had her own goals, she coudn't guide him or anything. It was sad but... She had her own goal right now and she needed to be here to focus on it tommorow. It would be the day. Together... They would be together again, she woudn't let go.
"I've been so focused on my own... Goal I'm afraid this is my first time hearing if it. Though as far as a ship your defently on the right track! I know I've seen them around here"
She coudn't go with him. As much as she would want to help Zell under normal circumstance she just coudn't. She had to be here to help Lightining, to save her. She coudn't just go looking for ships or go on a sailing adventure right now. She coudn't leave this matter to Fang and Noctis alone. Not becasue she coudn't trust them to, no far from it. This was her sister, it was as simple as that. Her sister... Who did so much for her and in the end for everyone else. This time she deserved to be saved. She deserved to have happiness. To wake up snd know that her sister was ok...
She coudn't leave, she had to be here to do what was right. A hand went to the blame sheathed across her back. Her blade, a promise. It was the other thing she would do today. She was going to put it away safetly so that when Lightining was back to normal she could return it to her.
So what was her goal? It was clear to her but of course Zell didn't know. She gave a light smile first looking to Mog, then back to this new friend she had made.
"I'm going to help my sister. She's... In trouble right now. Tommorow... I'm going to save her, me and my two other freinds... Free her from the thing holding on to her"
She then frowned, shaking her head, her eyes praticuly told what she was going to say next.
"I'm sorry... Normally I'd offer to help but... This is something me and my friends need to do together. For as long as I can remeber my sister has protected me.... Now I need to do the same for her"
