He took the pendants from the woman's corpse. As soon as he picked them up he began to feel tired, but couldn't understand why. He Ripped a part of his shirt off and wrapped it around Chivel's head. He was still out cold. Then something started coming down from the sky, and through the trees. As it got closer, Guy could see that it was not a human. Whatever it was was looking straight at him and the pendants. He came and landed on the ground in front of Guy.
"I'm sorry you had to go through this." He said. "My people are the ones who created the pendants, and sent them to earth. It's a good thing we didn't fill them with more powers, or these two surely would have caused much more damage than this."
Guy had never been an emotional person, thus crying was out of the question, but if you had seen him then you would have known he was crying very hard for his friends on the inside. He cleared his throat.
"Why did you let Quistis die? Why didn't you stop it?"
"It was not our intention for them to even have the pendants. We had given the pendants to humans we thought would be able to handle the power which the pendants possessed. Obviously, the human race is still not ready for something like this." With that, he took the pendants from Guy and turned on his heels.
"Wait!" Said Guy. "I have a question. The woman with the pendants, she had two of them, but she acted as though she was extremely tired. And when I picked hers up, all of the power seemed to leave me and I was practically ready to fall over."
"Well, you see, we had taken precautions before letting these come to earth. One of those were to make sure that no one would be able to have more than one at a time. Thus, we made it that as soon as you had more than one, you would lose all of your strength. You would still be able to use the powers of the pendants, but it would be impossible for someone to go more than two minutes. That is why the woman reappeared before she could finish off you and Chivel. She didn't have enough strength to concentrate on her powers." The man looked at Chivel on the ground for the first time. "I almost forgot. Let me heal your friend." Guy stepped back and the Alien shut his eyes for about ten seconds.
"Aren't you going to do something?" Asked Guy.
"Sshhh". Suddenly Chivel's eyes opened and he sat up.
"What's going on?" He asked. Guy filled him in on what had happened since he had been knocked out. Chivel was not like Guy in the emotional aspect. He cried when he saw Quistis. He cried for a good long time. After sitting in complete quiet for a long time, they decided they should bury her.
"Would you like to me to use my powers to make a whole for you?" Asked the Alien.
"No, thankyou. We'd like to do this on our own." Said Guy. Chivel nodded in agreement. The Alien left and the they never saw him again.
They got shovels and dug a whole about 6 feet deep and lowered her into it.
"Should we make a headstone?" Asked Chivel.
"Yes. Let's make one". They found a large rock in which they etched the words:
Quistis Christie: A friend in time of need.
Born on January 19th 1984, Died May 7th 2002.
