Author's notes and Chapter One

Note: I do not own any of these characters, and I do not own the ones I created. All of these except my created ones belong to Squaresoft, and related companies. This story is mainly published on my website and fanfiction.net! Enjoy your read and please review kindly... As well as note: I began writing this just as I was fighting the wyrm on the airship...

"Kuut sunhehk!" Shouted Rikku's father (in Al Bhed as the whole family speaks in, though, this is their native language they also know the language of Spira) as he walked into Rikku's bedroom. He was a tall old man, he had no hair, yet was always active, not like other elderly men his age.

"Rir?" responded Rikku as she turned facing him. Rikku was very pretty, beautiful blonde hair, green eyes, fairly tall height, and always willing to help others out.

"Ed'c desa du kad ib! Desa vun ouin dnyehehk!" He scolded at her. She, Rikku was also very lazy in the moring. As her father said, it was time for her training...

"Ug, Ug, E's kaddehk ib..." She groaned as she lifted herself out of bed and her father left... She pulled back her curtains revealing the beatiful sun over the grassy plains her, her brother, and her father lived on. She stretched and turned around. She got dressed into her regular outfit, comprised of green shorts, tanish colored shirt, etc. Unlike most of her Al Bhed friends, she dressed rather lively. She always thought the Al Bhed dressed so... Boring!

She grabbed her claw she made from local objects such as gems, seashells (they didn't live too far away from the sea), and rare metals. It was her prime weopon that she always carried with her when she went for her training, or if she just wanted to venture around the plains and the beach.

The Al Bhed teenager (as she was thirteen at the time) (Note: She is fifteen in the game, I know that) got out of her bedroom, which was decorated with sea shells and prints by the way, and into the hall way, grandly decorated with local gems and photos of her family. She stopped near one picture. Her mom. She looked at it with a faint sadness in her eyes and muttered, "Vun oui..." or in the language of Spira, "For you..."

She continued her way down the stairs and reached the kitchen where her father and brother were sitting, eating lunch. As, I mentioned before, Rikku was lazy in the moring and so she missed breakfast, as she often does.

"Kuut sunhehk." Said her brother plainly. He was, rather dull in Rikku's words. "Good morning to you too." She responded plainly just as he did, they both laughed.

As she sat down her brother started talking, "So, ready for your weekly training today?".

"Yeah! I'm definatly looking forward to casting that new fire spell!" Rikku responded with excitment. She learned the element of fire called fira. She and her brother had been training with spells lately. He had just learned thundaga, the strongest thunder spell.

They both smiled, parted with their father and began to walk outside too the plains, still carrying some of their breakfast, their weopons, some hi-potions, and as well as their excitment.
