Breaking The Habit – Re-written version of Ever, Ever After
AU: Okay, hopefully you will all notice that this prologue is significantly different than my previous version. Not only is it longer, but the story is changing. I won't say anymore for now, but please review and let me know what you think. I can't fix problems if I don't know about them. ^_^
Key:
"Al Bhed"
"Flashback/Hallucination"
Regular Thoughts
"Regular Talking"
Prologue
My chamber always smelled of smoke.
It reminds me of the burning stadium...
Sin's first attack happened, so long ago...
But I remember that day, I'd be a fool to forget it.
It was that day that we had all gathered together in our last chance at salvation.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was scared, but we were all united by one thing...
There's was nothing left for us to lose...
Why are we still doing this then?
There isn't a way to end this nightmare, so why bother?
I wish I had an answer...
Jumping up, I shook my head and sighed.
It had been a month since Sin had returned...
A whole month since the last calm had ended and the time had come for a new set of pilgrimages.
There would be no visits to my temple, however.
A Sin attack before this last calm had completely decimated my temple.
While the Yevonites tried to rebuild it, with Sin now back, it would be a long time before even one section were completed.
For the time being I'm on break then.
During this time, I'm playing "human" on the shores of Besaid.
The others were surprised by my choice, seeing as I group up in the city and before it had been destroyed my temple had been in Luca.
I like it here though, it's very peaceful.
Though, the "children" are a bit annoying.
I know I look young, but I've lived over a thousand years.
It get's old when the elderly are constantly treating you like a child.
No one gives you any respect...
Besides some minor annoyances, life here is actually fun sometimes.
Definitely better than spending all day in the chambers, waiting to be chosen and later summoned.
Which reminds me...
Today, the summoner in training (I think her name is something like Yura?) will be praying to the fayth of Besaid's temple and will begin her journey as a full fledged summoner.
It's a little sad, seeing how she's so young.
She's barely more than a baby and already she's taking up her staff and walking to her death.
Yura's a nice girl, I almost hate to see her go.
However, if she defeats Sin, a lot of people will be happy.
I may not like how the system works, but there's no point trying to fix things for one person.
After all,
She's just like all the others.
End Prologue
