Chapter 1 A new life

Pray now, for Yu Yevon

Whom will not go away

Dream fayths of Yevon

Now and for eternity

Saint Bevelle, one of Spira's most sacred of places, the place where the chosen people become summoners, and summon their first Aeon, and go on a journey to defeat the bringer of death Sin.

The bells in the palace of Saint Bevelle were ringing that day, which meant that the calm has ended and soon a summoner would be born to then sacrifice itself.

Her eyes, one blue and the other green scanned the huge palace as she climbed the stairs and entered it. The apprentice summoner slowly walked into the temple towards the chamber of the fayth, but was stopped by a man, perhaps a master of Yevon.

"Summoner Yuna, am I correct?" he asked.

"That is correct, sir…?" Yuna responded shyly as she looked at him.

"Ah, forgive me, I am called Seymour, from Guadosalam, I am one of Yevon's master," He told her while eyeing her carefully.

"It is a thrill to meet you my Lord!" Yuna was…uncomfortable talking to him maybe because he was staring at her, Seymour then giggled and said:

"My apologies Summoner, I must attend to my duties, good luck and farewell," Seymour walked out of the temple followed by the priests. Yuna, watched him leave and frankly, she was quite relieved, being with him made her uneasy.

She sighed in relief and walked into the chamber of the fayth, she saw the statue in which the fayth was kept prisoner waiting for a summoner to call for it. She sat down and started praying, as she prayed Yuna heard a voice singing, she closed her eyes and prayed with all of her might to acquire the Aeon. The hymn of the fayth was being song and Yuna joined in:

I E YU I
NO BO ME NO
RE N MI NE
YO JU YO GO
HA SE TE KA NA E
KU TA MA E

Yuna then opened her eyes and saw pyre flies gathering, forming the fayth, she smiled slightly and bowed her head in respect.

"Greetings summoner, I have heard your prayer, I am the fayth bahamut, I will soon accompany you on your quest, but I must ask you, why have you come here?"

"I came here to become a summoner and defeat the bringer of death, Sin," she told him her eyes shining with resolve and determination.

"Summoner, never forget what you said, for this is your purpose," Yuna nodded at his words.

"Yes, I understand…," she replied.

"Very well then…I will now accompany you on your journey, good luck summoner," the fayth replied as he materialized himself into pyre flies and went in yuna's body. Yuna then lost consciousness and her body fell limply on the cold floor of the chamber.

When she awoke, yuna realized that she was still in the chamber of the fayth and remembered that she received the Aeon. She slowly got to her feet and found her steadiness, yuna walked towards the exit of the chamber and the door opened. She then ran down the stairs and and noticed Master Seymour, apparently waiting for her.

"Lady Yuna…have you succeeded?"

"Yes I have," she replied. Seymour smiled, but his smile wasn't a welcoming one, it was an impure, greedy and full of hate.

"Perfect, please follow me, I need to show you something," Seymour told her in a cold voice. Yuna slightly nodded and followed him reluctantly, they went into a cold dark room with a makina in it, rotating the prison cells.

"What is this room your grace?" She asked curiously looking amazed.

"This is were we put the heathens, but long ago we imprisoned the Zanarkandian people here," he explained.

"Because of the makina war?"

"That is correct,"

Yuna then thought how horrible it was for these people to be rotting away in cells like this.

"But, Sire," The summoner said as she looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Why did you bring me here?" Seymour then took a step and said:

"Lady Yuna, you do recall when I told you that I had duties to attend to, correct?"

"Yes, I do," she assured him.

"Well, during one of my tasks, I found a young man who was a heathen. I brought him back here and kept him prisoner as he must be taught a lesson for Yevon's own good, Seymour told the young summoner with anger and hate glowing in his eyes.

"By whom?" she asked innocently. Seymour took a few more steps and turned around and face her.

"You, Lady Yuna,"

"Me? But…why me?" Yuna demanded shocked as she stared at him.

"Because…you are a summoner, you are the pure blessing of Yu Yevon and you accepted your fate when you became one, just like your father before you,"

"Yes, but…" she trailed off as she looked at the cells rotating around the room and saw the young man being held prisoner. He looked fairly young, although his prison cell had stopped rotating and at the other end of the room, Yuna could see that he was slouched against the cell's bar and his head was looking down as if defeated.

"Hey you!" Seymour shouted at the pathetic looking young man. No answer or reaction came from him. Seymour then turned to the summoner and told her:

"Lady Yuna, teach him how to respect Yevon, summon the Aeon that you received and give this traitor what he deserves!" Yuna swallowed at the sound of his voice and slowly made her way to Seymour clutching her staff. She felt tears forming in her bi colored eyes as she stood with Seymour, looking at the trapped young man.

"Go ahead summoner Yuna, do what you came to do," the master told her, then unexpectedly, the prisoner spoke:

"Before you do what you came for summoner, allow me tell you something: Yu Yevon is not opposed to Sin! This is the absolute truth, I swear I'm not lying!" he shouted. Seymour truly angered grabbed Yuna by the arm.

"Enough of this nonsense! Yuna show him what Yevon truly is!" he roared at her. By now tears were streaming down her cheeks as she held her staff with trembling hands. Yuna looked at Seymour and shook her head.

"No Sire…I will not, I won't kill him!" the young woman said in a firm voice. At those words, the young man got up and stared at her.

"What!" Seymour asked as if he didn't hear her.

"I did not become a summoner to kill people Sire! I became one to purge Sin from this world!" Yuna stated firmly.

"Lady Yuna, your task is also to convert the heathens into followers and in this stubborn young man's case eliminate him,"

"Still, I will not, Sin brings enough death, we do not need more!" Yuna tried to reason with him.

"Yuna, your words are strong and if you keep following this path you'll end up like him," the man beside her said.

"So be it!" the summoner retorted as she ran out of the room and the palace. Seymour stared at the door yuna had ran through, laughing like a pervert.

"Beware Lady Yuna, I didn't mention my final word, soon we will meet again," he replied in a cold voice, then he turned to the prisoner.

"And you too! Beware, because one day you'll suffer, just like this foolish girl!" Seymour then exited the prisoner's room. The young man then sat down and smiled to himself.

"Thank you Lady Yuna, I owe you my life," he whispered softly.
