I don't know how this story popped up but I think it's some how related to a thought I had. I was looking at an opal ring that I own and when I turned it a certain way it looked like there were pyre flies in the stone. I thought that it would be cool if some how there was this similar ring that had a connection to the pyre flies. Originally I was going to make it so that this happened on Earth but then it felt better if it was in Spira.
Summery: What if you and a friend woke up one day to find yourselves in a strange world with no memory of how you got there or a way to get home? Now imagine that one of you has the power to sooth troubled souls that have turned into monsters called "fiends". What would you do?
Disclaimer: I own nothing save Sylvia, Alex, and the opal ring which started it all.

As a Stone
Prologue

They were all sitting around a camp fire. The nine of them had reached the last leg of their journey and there was a strange calm about the group. A young man about seventeen years old left the group and climbed up a small rise to stare out over the ruined city behind them. One the girls wearing a blue cloak took out a journal and began to write.
"I guess this may be the last chance to say anything. I know that technically I'm writing this but technicalities can be so annoying. I also know that this will seem archaic to you seeing as how I am using paper and not a sphere which would have lasted much longer. Unfortunately I don't have time to record this and I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself anyways unless I'm giving a dictation.
My friends and I have reached Zanarkand and are resting before we enter. We're trying not to show each other but we're nervous. Well with Kimhari and Auron I doubt it's an act but with me it is. Three of us shouldn't even be here. Tidus, Alex, and me; we come from different worlds. Tidus comes from a Zanarkand that isn't in ruins and Alex and myself come from a place called Earth. I know Tidus was brought here by Sin but I don't know how Alex and I came here. As hard as it may be to believe but we come from a place where Sin doesn't exist. It's true. With that fact in mind I can't figure out how this happened. I think my ring has something to do with it but without it I can't be sure. I only pray when this is over that we can go home.
My ring. Who would have thought that such a small thing can have the biggest impact in Spira? In my world it was nothing special. With enough money you could buy a ring exactly like it maybe better. I don't know what makes mine so unique or how it allows me to do what I can do. All I know is that when I woke up that fateful day, I had no idea what I was doing."

That was greatly inspired by the beginning sequence in the game. I don't know if I should talk more about things on Earth or jump right into Spira.
