Broken Over Time
Title: Broken Over Time
Character: Edea
Team: Balamb
Word Count: 100
__________
Edea sighed. She had been gone from this place for too long. The orphanage was in ruins, and Cid's optimistic platitudes couldn't change that, or fix it, either. She walked aimlessly until her eyes spotted something on the floor. Carefully she knelt to pick it up. It was a toy knight, the horse missing a leg, the lance half broken. It must have been dropped by an over-excited child and forgotten until now. She had to blink back sudden tears as she cradled it, knowing full well the symbolism. Like her, like her home, it had been broken over time.
