“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming at such an early hour,” President Obama began as he addressed his Cabinet.

The Floating Continent

“I definitely don’t recall having my construction crews build roads THAT wide through Figaro Desert,” Edgar said, confused at exactly what he’s looking at from the edge of the continent. He, Celes, Shadow, and Locke were fixated at the desert plains below, observing as small plumes of smoke peppering small sections of what to them looks like the kind of avenue one would build for a city like Vector.

As promised, I bring you .Mosh's entry for the writing competition we held during FFXIII week July 2012. This entry came second.

Remember, you can submit pieces of writing to me to proof read, edit and publish! If you're up for the challenge, send me a PM and I will provide you with a few guidelines.

Back on 27th July 2012 (a year ago, almost to the date), I challenged the members of Ondore's Lies and Summoners of Weapons (the FF Clans) to write a piece of fiction about Noel and Serah. I asked the members to write Snow out of Final Fantasy history and to replace him with Noel. I thought it would be nice to post the entries on the front page for everyone to read.

This week, I bring you my own entry! Look out for .Mosh's next week!

Are you a fan of NoelxSerah or SnowxSerah? Post your answers below - and leave a comment for the writer!

Remember, if you want to write a creative piece about Final Fantasy, send it my way and I'll edit it! It may find its way onto the front page!
