Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X.

Introduction: Hey. I thought it was time for me to make a novelization of one of the Final Fantasy series. Why did I choose X? Well, maybe it was because I . . . hm . . . I really don't know why. It never occurred to me that this question would be asked. Maybe I'll have the answer some other time. Well, I'll be seeing you guys. And don't forget to review!

Hymn of the Fayth

Prelude

Summoner's Pilgrimage. A journey by religious means to holy grounds, in which to obtain mystical energies, meant only for the heart of a Summoner. Guardians. The support and/or supporter(s) of a Summoner, whom they must protect through perilous travels. Summoners. Mortals who are attuned to the despairs of their people's suffering. They rise from their people's perennial sorrow and become stronger with their hope. Summoners are the only mortals able to defeat destruction itself. Sin. An immortal entity born from the embers of war. It is said that this terrible deity ruined a one-thousand-year-old civilization and its age of Machina. The teachings of Yevon. A system made to bring the people of Spira solace. Is the foundation of Spira's religion, and is also Spira's ruling power in which its pupils abide by. Temples lay scattered throughout the land of Spira as objects of the teachings. The use of Machina are forbidden under these teachings.

Old stories will fade with the rise of new beginnings. A civilization may perish by the hands of destruction, and only a select few may be able to save it. Spira's dream to once again live without the sporadic coming of Sin still burns through doubt.

A man yearning to return home from whence he came will realize that his own existence will diminish, offering Spira a new chance to live. As we gather to learn the past and move on, remember the stories of our ancestors and understand that the smallest glimmer of hope can be enough to overcome a devastating terror.

Listen to my story. . . . This may be our last chance.
