A 1000 years
Our story takes places 1000 years back in time after ffx-2. I've tried to keep the characters to the same personalities as best as I can, so there will be no swearing sorry! Also I haven't mentioned his name to keep the ff feel. This is also my first story so be kind.
"Oh no not this dream again (Yuna's nightmare)" thinks Adelle. She sees two people the girl she recognises as a summoner she doesn't know why but every time she meets a new summoner she knows who they are because she can feel it in her heart. This time in her dream she could see the man for the first time who was running with the girl. "My.... Cousin? But how? why?" thinks Adelle loads of questions start to sweep into her mind. She sees the girl fall down they were obviously running away from something and Adelle knew what and Adelle wished that the end would be different. Her cousin took the girl's hand and pulled her back up and they kept on running. Then the dream became fuzzy. "Please don't I want to wake up thought Adelle. Then the picture became clear, the lights flashed on, her cousin and the girl are seen standing together and staring into each other's eyes, then there were gunshots.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" screams Adelle as she has suddenly woken up. Adelle finds herself in her room in Bevelle, it wasn't exactly home but what could she do Sin had destroyed Zanarkand two years ago. Adelle had escaped to Bevelle with her friends and her Aunt, but her cousin was no where to be seen, Adelle had last heard that her cousin had been running towards the creature with Auron. Adelle was 3 years older than her cousin, she has long blonde hair and blue eyes, she was quite tall and at times she could be shy to show her feelings. "It was just like 12 years ago" Adelle thought "when uncle Jecht disappeared"
"Did you have that dream again?" said Katy she looked at Adelle with a worried expression. Katy was normally hyper (think of another Rikku) all the time but it was a change for Adelle to see her look so worried. Katy had short black hair and brown eyes, she was the same age as Adelle but for her height she looked younger.
"Yeah but this time I could see my cousin" said Adelle
"Really! You sure your alright? Maybe you haven't got over your cousin's death." said Katy
"Maybe, but I thought I had accepted it" Adelle said as she sits up in her bed. Katy ponders for a moment.
"Or maybe...... the dolphins are trying to tell you something!" exclaimed Katy at her new discovery.
"What makes you say that?" asked Adelle
"Well, when you were asleep I thought I saw your dolphin necklace was glowing and floating in mid air." said Katy. Adelle wasn't surprised when she heard this because she saw her necklace float and glow loads of times but it was normally when she was using power when it did this, because you see Adelle is a dolphin summoner. Adelle started to think back to when she got the necklace.
"It was two years ago when I got this necklace" said Adelle
Flashback
"Me too" said a little boy
"Take it easy." said Adelle's cousin. Adelle had just come out of the door when she saw her cousin signing Blitzballs. She smiled as she thought how good life was, and then She remembered.
"It's the Jecht memorial cup today how could I forget?" she said and she ran back into her room to get ready for the match which was going to start in 10 minutes. She stopped in her tracks as she saw an old man on her bed. "I'm sorry if I sound rude but what are you doing in my room?" asked Adelle
"I haven't much time but I want you to have this." said the old man and he gave Adelle a gold necklace with a gold dolphin hanging from the chain. "You will need this after the game"
"Huh?" said Adelle
"You see you are destined to be a dolphin Summoner" said the Old man
"A dolphin what?" said Adelle but the old man continued as if he hadn't heard her.
"A dolphin summoner has the power to give happiness to people for when dark times approach. Not only that they also give a final wish to a summoner who is going to bring the calm. For example if their lover is dead they may wish to be with them for ever. Also a dolphin summoner protects summoners and sends lost souls to the farplane. I have come back in time to tell you to not to be afraid trust the dolphins and they will come in the hour of need, also you will disappear in two years time. (this is why a dolphin summoner was never mentioned) Also..." said the man but he was cut off.
"So your telling me I can do miracles and that people just vanish into thin air, you've lost it" said Adelle and she made her way to the door
"Your uncle vanished did he not and any way I'm saying that you are going to vanish not the people of Spira and where I come from without a dolphin summoner the summoners had to learn a dance called the sending" said the man and with that he burst into pryflies
"What on Spira?" said Adelle she didn't ponder anymore she put the necklace around her neck and raced down through Zanarkand to see the game.
Back to reality
"Spira calling Adelle are you in." called Katy
"Sorry I was thinking about the necklace" said Adelle "Anyway there is defiantly a connection"
"Yeah when you were first having these dreams you were really confused" said Katy
" That's because it was blurry at the beginning" said Adelle "Also I think the girl is a real person and is a summoner that's why the necklace is glowing but I have no idea about my cousin"
"I think I can answer that" said Stacey as she strolled into the room. Stacey was a year older but a true friend. She had green eyes and long brown hair she was wearing jeans and a T shirt. "Have you forgotten Delly it's the memorial concert for your uncle Jecht and your cousin".
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Adelle. Today was the memorial concert, Adelle was going to sing and as the Jecht memorial cup didn't go so well two years ago, everybody decided that it would be a good idea to do the two together. After all they were father and son. Also people from Zanarkand who knew Adelle thought that this would help her accept his death. Adelle knew that with her power this will be a concert to remember.
The Al bead had helped a lot, they had rebuilt the stadium in Zanarkand, they had this time because High summoner Yunalesca had brought the calm not so long ago. Everyone thought that this was the only time to do it, and it was in the perfect place. But still Adelle wasn't sure about this.
"He had hated his father" thought Adelle
Flashback
"You do that shot like this!" said Jecht and he performed the Jecht shot mark three. "You can't do it kid, but don't worry my boy, everyone can't do it that's cause I'm the best!" exclaimed Jecht, and Adelle's cousin ran off somewhere.
"He's going to end up hating you." Adelle said. As she walked up to him.
"Why? I'm the best no one hates me." said Jecht
"Your fans won't and Aunt doesn't but he will if you keep showing off like that." replied Adelle
"You don't know what your saying kid" said Jecht and with that he walked off to sign more blitz balls.
Back to reality
"He did hate his father in the end" thought Adelle. "I hadn't been able to give Lady Yunalesca the final wish, that was because my power was too weak I was new to the dolphin summoning, but with more training I will be able to give summoners what they want" thought Adelle. But the only thing she couldn't give was to stop the final aeon from killing the summoners. Adelle had to keep that fact to the back of her mind. Adelle remembered that after the attack on Zanarkand she did a lot of work, but it didn't feel like work to her because it was mostly the dolphins jumping around sending souls to the farplane.
"Hey you better get ready" said Stacey
"Yeah lets party" said Katy who was now jumping up and down on the bed.
"Whoa!" said Adelle and with that she fell off the bed "Ouch" said Adelle
"Whoopsy" said Katy and she jumped off the bed and helped Adelle up "Nice Jammies" giggled Katy. Adelle stood up she was wearing her jeans and her favourite top with the Zanarkand Abes symbol on she also had trainers on.
"Hey I was flat out last night" exclaimed Adelle she had cheered up now.
"Here change into this for the concert" said Stacey and she handed Adelle a blue outfit with brown boots.
"Lenne's dress, but where did you get this?" said Adelle. She was a great fan of Lenne but when she had heard she had died she wouldn't come out of her room for weeks.
"It was in her will" said Stacey "She wanted the next big songstress to have this and everyone thought that you deserved this, so here you are"
"Wow this party is getting bigger, this is so cool!" exclaimed Katy who was inspecting the dress closely.
"You guys go on ahead I'll meet you at the entrance of Bevelle" said Adelle and with that her friends left the room. Adelle stood there for a moment not believing what had just happened. "Does everyone really know me that much" thought Adelle. She knew that she was quite well known in Zanarkand but all around Spira she hadn't expected that. She chose to forget about the crowds which might appear at this concert. She put the dress on and she slipped on the brown boots. She admired herself in the mirror. For the first time she felt excited about the concert. "This concert is going to be the best, I know you would of enjoyed it cousin" said Adelle and for the first time in ages she started to remember the good times, like how she encouraged her cousin when he was practising blitz ball. She thought on this happy moment.
Flashback
12 years ago Adelle was on a beach with her cousin.
"I hate my dad" said her cousin
"I know, but try to understand he's under the influence of drink most of the time so it's not his fault" said Adelle
"I won't!" shouted her cousin.
"O.k. o.k. Here." said Adelle and she placed a Blitzball in the sand "show me what you can do" said Adelle. Her cousin looked at the ball for a moment and then he ran towards it and tried to kick it, but instead he missed the ball and fell over. "You need to get more balance" said Adelle as she pulled her cousin up "I found practising standing on one leg helps" said Adelle. Her cousin started to stand on one leg. At first he wobbled a bit but then he managed to regain his balance. "That's right. Now trying swinging your leg back and fourth" said Adelle. He did as he was told and he was pretty good. "Good" said Adelle her cousin gave Adelle a smile. "Now try kicking the ball but don't run up to it" said Adelle. Her cousin walked up to the Blitzball, and then he swung his leg and kicked the ball a few metres.
"I did it!" exclaimed her cousin
"Well done. Now......." said Adelle.
Back to Reality
"Hey you're here! What took you so long." said Katy who was getting fed up.
"She could never wait" thought Adelle "I was uhh thinking" said Adelle.
"Daydreaming more like" said Stacey
"Oh wow that dress so suits you!" exclaimed Katy who was clapping her hands.
"Thank Yevon there is no one else like you Katy!" said Stacey and before Katy could speak,
Adelle giggled "Come on". The three friends walked down through the Macalania Woods.
