Final Fantasy Fiction Episode 1: Yuna's Promise.
Point of View: Yuna
I'm making a prediction of what may have happened inside the confirmation room where Yuna's summoner journey begins. Enjoy
I took the first step up to the enchanted room. Up, up, up the steps I went, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Khimari, the mysterious beast, following me, making sure I was safe like he always did Ever since I was a young girl, he watched out for me always and he never let me down when I needed him most. I turned to him, his eyes opened up wide, "Forward, Yuna, you must keep moving." He was never a man of many words, nor is any of his race. His fur was blue, and something about him was always beautiful to me. Maybe it was his eyes, they twinkle oh so perfectly in the light. Or his prideful look upon him. I don't think I am the only one who sees this individuality. I turned back around and continued up the stairs. I was curious of what I may find in that sacred room, but I also felt scared. I never had gone through such a stressful time. I continued mindlessly but turned around yet again at Khimari, who now stopped following up the steps, for I could not hear his giant feet stampeding behind me on the staircase. "What Bothers M'Lady?" He said. "Must I go alone?" I said quietly, hoping that anyone who might be in the room couldn't hear my cowardly voice. "Yes, Yuna, you are strong, you may leave, but Khimari no think you should, Khimari thinks you should follow fate." He said in his deep voice, almost melodiously. He could always let me know what is right to do, even if he doesn't say anything. There were big feathers for a door into the room. I slowly moved them away, I took my first step into the room. It was not what I imagined. I was alone in the room, there was a glass orb in the middle of the floor, and a memorial of some sort showed all the Fayth that served against Sin, the evil punishment brought upon all of Spira.
A woman faded into the room like a ghost, slightly transparent. It was one of the Fayth. "Yuna, or Lady Yuna, I should now call you, You have chosen a path to sacrifice, and a journey long and hard, do you think you are worthy of this sacrifice?" she asked, like a statue. I waited a moment, how could I, a weak and unworthy woman, go through such a hard journey? No, I must go through with this, I have already gone this far, and it's in my blood, considering my father sacrificed himself to kill Sin. "I am worthy." I said hesitantly. "What makes you so sure?" She said, now actually emphasizing some sort of character in her voice. "My father before me was a summoner, and he did sense my strength and will. I believe that with my friends, I can defeat sin, and rid Spira of its fear of Sin." I said, with confidence, now I was positive that I, myself, was a worthy summoner. "Then, for me to be able to trust that you are the next destined summoner, I will put you in a state of trance. It is strong, an epiphany of truth, and you will suddenly realize just what a summoning is like, then, we will see if you are worthy." She said. I was shaking on the inside. She led me to the back of the small empty room, where there was a big orb of a liquid matter, it looked like the clearest of waters. "Look into the orb of fate." She said, pointing into the water. I slowly put my face into the large sphere, starting with my nose, slowly pushing further. It felt cold and slimy, but not icky, clean and refreshing; when my eyes reached the water I saw a future I couldn't believe, there was fire, and blood, and my friend's corpses on the ground, and Sin was there as well, standing over my head, and he swung his monster head at my body, and strangely, I felt the pain I had gone through. Sin is a big monstrous being, a curse brought upon Spira to punish our sin, hence the name of Sin. It was excruciating, my side burned and bruised, I felt it I could feel it, I knew It was, but once I finally was able to pull my face out of the water, I was fine. I felt weak now, I walked with a limp. "You are worthy" The woman said, and I turned to where she was to say something, but she was gone before I could speak. I walked out of the room, tired and pained, and Khimari was at the bottom of the staircase. I almost fell down the long steps, but faster than I could hit the floor he was up there, catching me.
