Equilibrium Unbalanced (Ultimecia/Edea, PG-13)

The equation will not stick.

- - -

Edea breathes with the shoreline: ocean in, ocean out; the sea ebbs and flows with her breath, and for this moment, she is solitary, she is alone, she is independent.

But she cannot bring this darkness upon her lighthouse-home.

Taking a deep breath, Edea tries not to sob, and instead whispers words: a transportation ritual, a spell that will take her far away. Away from her children and their memories, away from untarnished innocence and a safety time cannot decay.

- - -

Solution within confidence interval of 10%: is solution acceptable? Equilibrium not attained; interference stronger than buffer.

- - -

In the dark, Ultimecia comes.

Edea allows this: her will crumbles here that it can stay stronger elsewhere. When she gives in to Ultimecia, to her grasping hands and devouring mouth, she saves a tiny piece of herself: one small stone to add to the wall she is building around her children. Her lips respond; her hands grasp. Her will here is overcome: and the small piece she kicks to the side, unnoticeable.

- - -

Uncertainty interval below 1%: Solution acquired?

- - -

Edea breathes poison and exhales time. Within her, Ultimecia laughs. Her lips curve in an otherworldly kiss, and her enemies fall within ice.

But her wall is intact.
