The Life Of Monetaur

Author’s Note: I thought up the idea of this Fan Fic one night,
contemplating what I could write about. I had decided
that I would make a story about FF3, but couldn't
think of an idea for one. Then it came to me: Relm and
Gau should get married and have a child. The name,
Monetaur, popped up in my head rather suddenly.
Monet=famous painter (Relm's name choice) +
Minotaur=beast/creature (Gau's name choice)= Monetaur.
It's rather a stupid name that I think any person
would kill to get rid off, but what the hey. They have
such weird names in the FF's anyway. (Brainpan, Gau,
etc.)
 
I didn't mean for this to have such strange mixes of
feeling. It was meant to be a serious Fan Fic, more
then a humorous one. There probably won't be many more
dialogues like that between Relm and Gau in the
Prologue. Also, please understand that I am an
ABSOLUTE AMATUER at Fan Fic's, and not a very good
writer to boot. And if I get anything wrong about FF3,
please forgive me, as it has been a while since I

played, and can't remember the exact details.

Prologue

13 years after the defeat of Kefka, we take a peak back into the lives of some of those that defeated him, namely Relm and Gau.

Narrator: In a quiet house in Thamasa, Relm and Gau reside. After realizing their true feelings for each other they got married (without Strago’s consent, of course) and moved into the new house. Gau went to school, and using his unique knowledge of monsters, became, (well, what else?) a lawyer. Relm took up the artist’s career, but still hasn’t really made it, mainly because she charges insane prices for her lousy paintings. Anyway, lets take a little peak and see what’s going on!

Scene fades and opens in Thamasa, zooming in to view Relm and Gau’s house. The two of them are conversing in the bedroom.

Narrator: Oh my! It looks as though those two lovebirds are having a fight! Lets listen in!

Gau: Guwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You sure? Painter girl sure!?

Relm: Of course I’m sure! And why are you calling me "Painter Girl?" I thought I taught you better then that!

Gau: Gau no be civilized when Relm PREGNANT!!!!

Relm: For Tritoch’s sake! I’m your wife, idiot! It’s natural for wives and husbands to have children!

Gau: ... *scratches head* Childrens… How does Gau and Relm have childrens?

Relm: *sigh* Sheesh, didn’t you take Sex ED in school?

Gau: Ssseex? Ed? Who Ed? Who sex? How do Gau take sex and Ed?

Relm: Aaarrgh! You better shut up, or I’ll take paint your picture! (waves brush menacingly)

Gau: (runs for it) Waaaaaaaaahhhh!

26 years after the defeat of Kefka, magic is still gone from the world. There is still much rebuilding to do, and the population has nearly doubled. All the heroes of the defeat of Kefka live their own lives,(or deaths) few of them converse on a regular basis. Everyone has quieted down, and the great war is nearly forgotten. But all will change, for magic has not been erased from the world entirely...

Chapter 1

It is a dark, winter-cold night, and those of Thamasa lie shivering in their beds. In the shadowed house of Relm and Gau, only one sleeps. It is Monetaur, the son of the afore mentioned. A mere 12 years old, the boy rests, with no idea of what is to come. While he sleeps, both his parents have left the house, to visit the grave of the beloved Strago.

Relm held Gau’s hand, and the two of them, serious for once, climbed the small hill to kneel at the grave of Strago. "The old man," Relm thinks, "That monster he fought for so long finally did him in."

Gau seemed to read her thoughts. "Old."

Relm nodded. "Yes. Very." She suddenly broke out in tears. Gau held her to him, and patted her, comfortingly. "Oh Gau!" Relm sobbed, "How can he be gone? I, I can still remember that night…"

Screen goes wavy (flashback style), and opens, darkened, in Thamasa, in Relm and Gau’s house, at a party for Monetaur with the 4 of them. Monetaur leans over the table to a cake, to blow out his 5 candles.

Strago: Oh, hohoho! The big 5-0 there son!

Relm: (rolling eyes) Oh Grampa! Mon isn’t 50, he’s only 5.

Strago: Hohoho! I knew that. Hohohohohoho-oooooh! (Strago clutches his chest, and falls to his knees.)

Relm: (bending down) Gau! Get Mon out of here!

(Gau grabs Mon, who begins screaming about his cake, and takes him to his room. Gau then locks the door and runs back)

Relm: Are you alright?

Strago: *Gasp* *Breath* *Wheeze* *Thud* (Strago colapses)

Scene gets wavy again, then goes back to Relm and Gau.

Relm shuddered in Gau’s arms. "Oh, I miss him. He never was quite the same after the defeat of Kefka though, was he?" Gau merely hugs Relm, and then they part, Relm not bothering to wipe her eyes. She kneels down to place flowers on Strago’s grave, and just then jerks back, to reveal an arrow in her middle.

Gau stares, dumbfounded as Relm falls backwards, crumpling into a small heap. He then takes a long look at her, before his mind processes what just happened. As he is preparing to use one of his rages, a small dagger flies through the air, embedding itself in his neck. Gau falls to the ground, beside his love, atop Strago’s grave. As the sun rises, shedding a pale golden light upon this scene, the blood of the husband and wife trickles down, blending, before it seeps deep-down, to Strago’s grave.
