One Living Legend
Chapter 1
~ Two of a Kind
The group was on their way out of Luca. Auron stopped. "What's wrong?" Tidus asked.
"You don't hear that?" Auron said. Tidus shook his head. "Figures."
"I can hear it," said Lulu.
"Yeah, he's such a bonehead," Wakka said patting Tidus on the head.
The noise most of them heard stopped. "Technically, if you think about it, everyone's a bonehead," came a voice. They all turned around to see a person in a black robe with the hood over their head. "Ah, hello again, Auron."
"What are you doing here?" Auron growled.
"You don't look so happy," the person said.
"Hey, that's Sir Auron to you!" Wakka said.
The hood was lowered and the face of a twenty-seven year old woman with light brown hair and yellowish-green eyes was seen. "If you knew him as long as I have, you wouldn't need to call him sir," she said.
"Who are you?" Lulu asked.
The woman bowed. "Rayn Terran, unofficial guardian of Lord Braska," she said.
Kimahri growled. "You lie!" Wakka shouted.
"Why would I? To stop Lady Yuna's pilgrimage? Why would I do that?" Rayn asked.
"Rayn," Auron said. She looked at him. "You're still not over Braska, are you?"
She looked away. "Don't start," she growled.
"So you were a guardian of my father?" Yuna asked. The summoner walked up to the newcomer.
Rayn nodded. "Right along side Auron and Jecht," she said. "They didn't want me there in the first place anyway."
Auron put his right hand on Rayn's shoulder. "Just like you shouldn't be here. You don't belong."
"You don't either, old man. . ."
"You're only eight years younger than me." Auron and Rayn were looking each other right in the eyes. Both extremely annoyed with each other.
"Okay, okay. Settle down you two!" Wakka said. Rayn backed down and turned away from Auron.
"What's up with her?" Tidus asked.
"She appeared at the first temple," Auron said. "Lord Braska took a shine to her. Jecht and I thought she was annoying. Later, Jecht saw what Lord Braska saw in her. We didn't get along."
"You tell it as if I were dead," Rayn stated.
"I should have killed you back then," Auron growled.
Rayn turned around. "You want to kill me? I'm right here, take your best shot!" Rayn stood there facing Auron.
"Auron. . ." Yuna said. "Why?"
Auron paused. "Lady Yuna. . ." Yuna and Auron walked away from the crowd. "She tried to get your father to end his pilgrimage. When that didn't work, when they got to Zanarkand, she almost took his sacrifice. She was killed. . ."
"Unsent?"
"No, she was brought back. She has a creature, as a friend. It's the Legendary Phoenix. It came to her for the first time that day and granted her life once again. She was confused when she came back. . ."
"So, should I not trust her?" Yuna asked.
"I can't tell you who to trust and who to not trust," he said.
Yuna nodded. The summoner walked over to Rayn. "Will you become one of my guardians?"
Auron sat down heavily. He couldn't believe it. Rayn looked at Yuna confused. "Can you trust me?"
"I don't know, can I?"
"That sure backfired. . ." Rayn huffed. She then leaned towards Yuna. "You know, I don't have the Phoenix anymore. . . and most of the stuff Auron told you about me was a little. . . well. . . off. . ."
Auron jumped to his feet and ran over. "Rayn!" he growled.
Rayn stretched. "Don't worry, I'm not going to say anything!" She smirked and looked directly into Auron's eyes. "You can do that." She then turned back to Yuna. "My lady," she said. "If you'll excuse me, I have work to do." Rayn then turned around and began walking away.
"Wait!" Tidus shouted. "What do you know about my father?"
Rayn paused and turned her head.
"About, Jecht."
"Jecht. . . was you father?" Rayn smiled. "So, you're Tidus?"
Looking at the newcomer a little puzzled, Tidus nodded his head.
Turning all the way around, Rayn said, "Seems we have one thing in common, young Tidus."
"And that would be?" Tidus asked.
"We have the same father."
Everyone froze, except Auron, and Kimahri. "So," Tidus said after a long while. "You're my sister?"
"Seems that way, doesn't it?" Rayn responded.
Tidus walked up to Rayn. "Can you, tell me what's happened?" he asked softly. "Everything from ten years ago?"
Rayn looked to Auron who seemed to growl. "Yeah. . . just give me a while to think. . . and then I'll tell you." Rayn turned around and then began to leave once again.
"I thought she was coming with us," Wakka said.
"She will," Auron said. "In time."
