I had this pondering around in my head for almost...well a few years as a starting point for Final Fantasy Tactics, a sequel! So I put it on paper and I will post it here for you all to read! Tell me what you think!
Setting: Igros Castle War Room
A Man standing facing a tall bookshelf, all of a sudden a knight runs in and kneels.
Knight: I have news from the spies my liege.
Figure pours himself a drink. Then he takes a sip.
Man: Well........
Knight: They confired that Ordalia's King is near his end.
Man: Our opportunity has arrived.
Knight: What do I tell the spies.
Man turns around, its Delita.
Delita: Tell them to return, there job is done.
Knight: Wouldn't you wait until they confirm his death, then we can…..
Delita interrupts.
Delita: Do you question my orders Galos?
Galos: No, please forgive me my king, I will tell them at once.
Galos leaves room. Delita puts down his drink and reaches for a wooden box on shelf.
Delita: Soon, very soon Invalice shall have its revenge!
Delita opens up the box and it lets out a very bright light.
[End Scene]
Setting: Bar in Ordalia
Word gets out about the king being very sick and in the afternoon the bar is very busy, with soldiers and mercenaries and hunters all talking about various things and at the bar talk turns to the issue of his highness.
Bartender: So what exactly is wrong?
Lancer: Well the king is sick, but our best chemist believes he was poisoned.
Lady Knight: I heard that to, but who would do such a horrible thing.
Lancer: I don't know, some think it was from the outside. From Ivalice.
Bartender: Didn't some soldiers on patrol capture some spies from Ivalice?
Lady Knight: Yes……but they where executed.
Lancer: Yes. But why would Ivalice do something like this, with the civil war they had not to long ago there still recovering.
Yellow haired man sitting at a nearby table over hears conversation.
Yellow Haired ManSpeaking softly) It makes no sense….Ivalice….sending spies. WHY?
Lancer: But I don't see a threat from them anyhow.
Lady Knight: One of them did say something about the stones will decide our fate……
Lady Knight stops talking as yellow haired man stands and looks at her.
Lady Knight: What the hell is your problem?
Yellow Haired Man: Did you say stones?
Lady Knight: Yes……..but its……..
Lancer: Who are you? I never seen you around here before.
Yellow hair Man: Ramza…..and you and your kingdom are in danger.
Lancer: In trouble……hahaha….I believe you've had a bit much to drink.
Ramza: Believe me, this is bigger than all of us. What else did those spies tell you?
Lady Knight: Nothing…..just that. Something about some silly stones.
Ramza leaves in a hurry.
Lancer: What the hell was his problem?
Bartender: I hope it wasn't the prices.
[End Scene]
So the starting point is Delita is still alive and is in rule of Ivalice and Ramza is still alive in Ordalia, and hears of the stones which he thought was destroyed with Altima.
But somehow they survived the explosion and ended up all over Ivalice at several different points.
