Three years.

Has it really been that long already?

Three years ago, I quit my own pilgrimage to help Lady Yuna on hers. Mimiru, Tobias, and myself-- we became her guardians.

My reasons for becoming a guardian to a 'traitor' of Yevon and quiting my pilgrimage?

Simple.

I could no longer believe in the sacrifice of the countless lives of summoners to defeat an entity that could not be defeated.

Even as a summoner and follower of Yevon, I had questioned my faith many times over. I knew that if in the end I battled Sin and summoned the final aeon, that I would die. However, it wasn't my own death that bothered me. It was what happened after my death. Even if I had brought the Calm to Spira, ten years after that Sin would just be reborn and more lives would have to be sacrificed.

So, why did I become a summoner?

My father.

As a child, my father always told me that "Summoners are the hope of Spira." I often would ask him "Isn't it a false hope?" He would look at me and smile thoughtfully, then replied: "Even if it is a false hope-- it gives the people of Spira something to look forward too."

For my father and my father alone, I became a summoner. I know it sounds selfish but he was beginning to lose hope. I couldn't let him lose the one thing that was keeping him going through the toughest of times.

My father was delighted when I told him I wanted to become a summoner. I'll never forget his smile that day.

Soon after, my father passed on. Even though he was gone, he was still with me in spirit and for a while that kept me going. But, in the end it wouldn't be enough.

I met a man in Luca, he was wise, a lot like my father.

He told me "You have to follow your own heart, not someone else's. Your life is your story and yours alone, and you decide the ending."

I'll never forget Sir Auron or the words he spoke to me that day.

Or how I fell in love with the legendary Guardian himself. . .

My name is Eureka and this-- this is my story.
