Luna was sitting in the darkness of her room alone. It was her 3rd birthday in 3 days time! She couldn't wait! But she wouldn't get all the good presents, or allowed a large party, or millions of cards. She could leave that to Yuna, her twin sister. It was a funny twist of fate, that. She mum and Al Bled, her father a summoner completely diffident, and yet Yuna was born normal, and she an Al Bhed. But everyone would accept Yuna, for she had one blue and one green, and green eyes were the sign of an Al Bhed. But she had one green and one purple. Only one other person in history had had purple eyes. That one person, who was the father of all evil. Sin.

Later, she was shaken awake. Her mother was starting in the lit doorframe. A quick glance out her window told her it was still dark. A quick glance at her clock told her it was midnight. Outside she could hear screaming.

"I'm scared, mummy" she whispered, her eyes massive with fright. Her mum said nothing, but she took Luna by the hand and led her into the corridor. They had been at a weekend trip to Luca, where her and her sister had been born.

"Is daddy and sissy alright?" Luna whimpered. Once again, she didn't answer, but led her to the open front door. A chilly wind sped across to them, and Luna shivered. But her mum led her on. Standing in the road was daddy and Yuna, who rushed over to the two. Silently, dad pointed up to the sky. Luna stared up in awe. Above her was a bubble of purple, edging closer. Fireworks shot up into it, but the bubble absorbed it. Suddenly, a house at the end of road burst into flames. Her father and her mother turned around and each took one girls hand. Luna and Yuna grasped for each other's hand. In a row, they strolled down the road, past dazed people. At the end of road, they stood in front of the harbour. One ship captain was shouted above the din.

"Still spaces! Still spaces!" The four ran towards the ship. A guard pushed Luna and her mum away.

"No Al Bheds," he growled. Yuna and her dad tried to push their way off the ship, but were pushed further on by the crowd.

"Luna!" her dad shouted in vain. She could see tears running down his face. "I'll be back!" The ships horn boomed above the shouts and cries. And the ship drew away from the harbour. Luna watched as the last time she would see her dad alive drew to a close. He was going, going, gone. The ship disappeared over the horizon, and she turned to the bubble. It was close now, about by her house. She had a light head. She was going to die. And more to point, it was because she was an Al Bhed. A tear ran down her face. But suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. It was an Al Bhed man. He whispered in their ears "Hold your breath…" and he took their hands. Together they turned to the empty harbour. They ran towards the water and Luna held her breath. But suddenly, a man dressed in black jumped in front of her, drawing a knife. He raised it up, ready to strike it down on the small girl. But her mum jumped in front of him; bring her body between her child and the knife. It struck down in her stomach, and blood sprayed out. Luna watched, wordless. But they were running to fast to stop, and they diving, still holding hands into the water. The man swam forward, pulling Luna along, until her tiny lungs could hold no more. She pushed up, and they broke the surface as one. Behind her she could see a view of Luca. The building on fire, and the large bubble engulfing the town. And her mum's dead body. Dead, from Sin.

Well, hope you liked it! By the way the Al Bhed at the top translates to:

And then, when all our stories end as one,

We pass down memories and footprints

Across the pure white beaches of our home

And when we leave, we leave it all to you

Our Hearts, Our Hope,

Our Children
