Kuja's Journal
Posted: May 26th, 2015, 7:11 pm
I am Kuja and these will be my journal entries. I possibly should have started this a long time ago, but I was never at a point where writing my thoughts in a coherent manor, mattered at all. I suppose the time I spend alone mulling over my thoughts and where I am going is a good as any a time to start. These are my thoughts, my personal endeavors, and ramblings of a less than sane mind at times. These will be open for anyone who wishes to read them, but don't come up to me and pretend you know me from these entries. These entries will also never be public domain. There are people I care for in this world and I will not let any harm come to them because someone read something I wrote.

2015 has it really been that long? It has been 10 years since that faithful day I joined the Dimensional Warriors or rather 'forced' to join. Ten years since the last day my sins were to be counted and I would have left my legacy of terror behind. Though by the calender it should be 410 years since that day. I have never figured out whether I am suppose to feel young or old. Even if it really has been four hundred years the face in the mirror would still look the same as it did when it was made. Considering the longevity of mages, and I may live well beyond the normal age of a mere man. I wasn't even suppose to live very long, but after an extensive and quite life threatening surgery I have over come the odds that were against me.
My name is Kuja. I was born on a world named Terra. My life was given to me by a man named Garland who sought to use me to instigate a war on Gaia hundreds of years ago. This war would help to speed up the process of mist, a by product that was created when the souls of the dead couldn't rejoin with the crystal or heart of Gaia. This would help Terra's assimilation of the planet Gaia much more easy. Although this ultimately failed there are still places on Gaia today that are reminiscent of when Terra began its assimilation. The record hall of Oelivert, The Desert Palace, Ispen's Castle and The shimmering island are all remnants of this former world. I do not know if any of these places have survived the dimensional shift, but there are still some places on Gaia that have been unexplored as of yet. The tree known as the Iifa Tree or Life Tree is also a remnant of this by gone war as it was the thing solely responsible for the soul stagnation. It was planted on the world in the time of ancients by Garland. It is a tree so large that it's very roots reach the core of the world. Again I am unsure of this tree is still on this world as a result of the dimensional shift. It may still exist but is called by a different name in the cultures that view the tree as something else.
As for me, I was born as anyone sees me now. I was given a soul. my own free will, a lot of power and the knowledge to use it. Garland also instilled in me a lot of hatred for anything and everything that was to be deemed not fit to even walk beneath my feet. I was also highly unstable and so Garland deemed me a failure and gave me a shortened life cycle. I would live long enough to fulfill my purpose as an 'Angel of Death' and then expire to give way to my successor. Give someone a lot of power and knowledge sprinkle in an unstable personality, tell them they are a complete failure...and...AND! then tell them you have made someone far superior to replace them, and you get the most dangerous thing in history. I still wonder why I didn't just kill Zidane way back then, but maybe I had a little bit of compassion in me or I was just blindingly stupid in my rage of jealousy. I thus began my reign on Gaia. I would plunge into the war Garland wanted and beyond in order redeem myself and rise above the notion someone would replace me.
I started subtly behind the scenes. I gained the favor of a noble family in Treno and worked my way up. I then became the host and co-owner of the auction house. This in turn would lead me to an alliance with Queen Brahne and the Kingdom of Alexandria. I did not plant the seeds of greed and power with in this woman, but I assisted them in growing by giving her the tool necessary to conquer other nations in order to pursue her desire to obtain the power of the Eidolons. I also provided her with a weapon of my own creation known as The Black Mages. These weapons were automatons made of cloth and straw. They were then given life through a method that infused them with mist. This gave them the power they needed to cast their magics. The mist however came with an unforeseen side effect. It made them sentient after a period of time. I at the time considered this to be a malfunction and would toss them overboard. Again out of either arrogance or stupidity I didn't destroy them and they lived. They formed their own society and live in well hidden village. I will never create another Black Mage again because of the sure cruelty they have suffered because of my selfishness.
I think I will end this entry here. This is only the beginning of me there is still a whole lot more.
