Oerba Dia Vanille

Memories of love unspoken and a fateful kiss before crystalization haunt Vanille's waking moments. After what felt like an eternity frozen in time, she awakens to find everything changed - including herself. Her hair has grown longer, the I'Cie mark burned from her skin, and she stands taller than she remembers. When she discovers someone from her past with ocean-colored eyes, the emotions she tried to bury come flooding back, threatening to overwhelm her carefully constructed control.

Oerba Dia Vanille

Memories of love unspoken and a fateful kiss before crystalization haunt Vanille's waking moments. After what felt like an eternity frozen in time, she awakens to find everything changed - including herself. Her hair has grown longer, the I'Cie mark burned from her skin, and she stands taller than she remembers. When she discovers someone from her past with ocean-colored eyes, the emotions she tried to bury come flooding back, threatening to overwhelm her carefully constructed control.

She remembers clearly now... when Vanille was in love and never admitted it. When her soft lips pressed up against another's before they were turned into crystal to hold up Cocoon... now there she is... her eyes slowly open and she looks around, before seeing someone floating in the air. She falls to the floor with a sickening thud, and she looks so different. Longer hair, her I'Cie mark burnt off, and way taller than she remembered. Vanille gasps softly and runs forward as the person's eyes open.

"Oh, my goodness..." Vanille whispered. She looked down at them and into their ocean colored eyes, and she couldn't help but kiss them then.

She couldn't help it... she should have controlled herself the way her hands slid into their hair, but she couldn't... she never could.
