BESIEGED

Here I defied time...

Scenes about how Cassandra overcomes this place before flooded back into Cassidy's mind, memories are so vivid that it feels like she has gone through that time again.
Cassandra here you defied time... and for the second time, I will overcome this again for I am stronger than you...
Cassidy whispers in her mind as if Cassandra is another person than her.
Then she turns her face at the water phoenix that's before her.

" You don't know me in this place?", she softly asks.
" Is it because you're not from the ring? Or you're just a trick? An illusion?", she kept asking
" or is it because Akadel had brought me here... in this time... in a world where the signet ring isn't existing?", Cassidy said, glancing sharply at the bird.
