Prologue

Bevelle. The largest city in Spira. The headquarters of Yevon. My home. The place I was born. The place I lived seven years with my parents. A place that should have held many happy memories for me, but it didn't. All my memories were tainted filled with some kind of grief. Death. Pain. Sorrow. Recently that was all I remember. You might say that was the general mood of the whole city. Or it was the mood, not anymore. Now everyone was happy. They were out cheering in the streets, dancing, singing, and celebrating. The calm was here they all said. Praise High Summoner Braska. Braska had defeated Sin. I wasn't stupid I knew what that meant. I knew that in order to defeat Sin one would have to summon the final aeon and even if you were able to kill Sin you would die too. Braska was dead. Everyone was happy because my father was dead. Well I wasn't happy. I wasn't smiling. Didn't that count for anything? Sure earlier today I was out cheering with my friends. I guess I just got caught up in the mob mentality or maybe I was genuinely happy. No how could I be happy I am all alone. Alone. I turned the word over and over in my mind. I had no parents no one to look out for me. This bridge I sat on now it was the last place I saw my father. The place where he said goodbye to his only child and then departed. I cried. I still cry to this day about it.

Below me the celebration continued. I was tired of it. I was sick of it all. I want to leave this horrid city. Go somewhere quiet and peaceful. Someplace where I can start a new life and make new happier memories. Yeah right I thought that was never going to happen I was pretty much stuck here. It's not like someone was just going to come up to me and take me away. The chances of that were pretty remote. I remember thinking that just before he arrived. I heard footsteps approaching me from behind. It was late at night so it was really dark even when I did turn around I didn't see him until he was really close. I was paralyzed with fear. Right next to me I saw this giant blue monster. He was so tall and he had a horn or at least half a horn. He also carried a weapon. I think it was a lance. It was so sharp.

"Hello little one," he said. I was really surprised his voice was strangely gentle. All my fears were lifted and I opened my mouth to talk, but no words came out.

"I am looking for the High Summoner's daughter. I believe her name is Yuna." he said.

I was shocked beyond belief. This man or monster or whatever he was was looking for me. Why I wondered maybe he was one of the people who hated my father. I gulped and looked at his weapon. No I that wasn't the case I sensed a strange aura of kindness around him.

"Do you know where I can find her", he asked.

"I…I…I'm her." I replied softly.

"Please, he said, come with me"

"Where?"

"To a place far from here"

"Why?"

"It was your father's last wish."

"You knew my father," I asked.

"No." The man reached down and offered me his hand. I took it and let him help me stand up. I started to cry then. I think I made him uncomfortable, but he still tried to comfort me.

"I am Kimahri Ronso." he said.

"Yuna." I said giving him a faint smile

The next morning we left Bevelle. I took only a few of my most prized possessions and some clothes because Kimahri said it was a long journey. I was excited about going on a journey. I really didn't think that I had ever left Bevelle. Before we left I took a long last look at my home, my room and my old world. I actually wasn't that sad. I was more glad to be leaving the painful memories behind, but still I felt as though I left a part of myself back in Bevelle. I really doubted that I would ever see this place again even knowing this I tried to remain positive. I'd find a new home and a new family wherever Kimahri planned on taking me.

We traveled south through forests and plains. We were really lucky I thought because we really weren't attacked by that many fiends. I guess that was because it was the calm, but I wasn't really sure. When we did get attacked I wasn't the least bit scared because Kimahri was super strong. He could kill any fiend. I think he's one of the greatest warriors ever. I told him this, but he just shook his head. He said that on the mountain where he was from everyone was a warrior and that there were many that were far stronger and braver then him. I laughed then and told him that I would like to come visit his home some time. He just simply said that his home was far in the north and that he hadn't been there in awhile. I kind of sensed there was something that bothered him about this, but I wasn't sure so I didn't say anything.

Eventually we came to Macalania Temple. It was really cold. The frozen lake was one of the prettiest things that I have ever seen. It was amazing that even when it was warmer the lake still remained frozen and then there was the way that the temple was suspended in it. I stood there staring at it for a few minutes before Kimahri said it was time to leave. We went though Macalania woods next. I hated it. I felt so lonely there, so empty. I asked Kimahri why these woods looked different from others, but he never told me. I wondered if he really didn't know or if he just didn't want to tell me for whatever reason.

The next place we had to cross was the thunder plains. I think I held Kimahri's hand the whole time other then when he had to fight of course. I think the thunder plains were haunted. I don't know why, but I just felt as though something was following us even though I knew there wasn't and the constant lightening strikes didn't help to ease my nerves either.

After we safely crossed the thunder plains we arrived in the Guado city of Guadosalam. We quickly passed through here. Kimahri said there wasn't anything interesting here. I wasn't so sure about that. It seemed kind of nice plus I remember learning that the Farplane was here. I didn't remember what that was, but it didn't sound pleasant so I think I relieved that we stayed away from it.

A few hours travel later we came to the moonflow. It was one of my most favorite places in the whole world. It was absolutely beautiful. I was just stunned. I had seen pictures, but never did I expect anything like this. Kimahri told me that at night it was even prettier because pyrflies swarmed around it. I wanted to stay, but he said it wouldn't safe to travel at night and we couldn't afford to lose a day. There was also this race of funny looking blue people. I laughed at them, but Kimahri silenced me. He said there was nothing funny about how well they handled the shoopuf. The coolest part about the moonflow was that we actually got to ride the giant animal called a shoopuf. I fell off it. At first I was really scared because I couldn't swim that well. The shoopuf saved me with his long nose. I jumped in a couple of more times for fun.

We continued our journey on the D'jose highroad past Mushroom Rock and on to the Mi'ihen highroad. That's where I saw my first wild chocobo. They're so cute. I wanted to ride one, but there weren't any available at the time. I was disappointed, but walking was fun too. We ran into a ton of travelers taking advantage of the calm. My father's calm. I wondered if any of them recognized me as Braska's daughter. Some people did stare at us, but I think that was because it wasn't everyday you see a ronso traveling with a small human child.

We visited Luca next. It is the second largest city in Spira. It's a happy, upbeat place. But that's probably because the stadium is there. People from all over Spira come to see Blitzball here. It was off season now and everyone was still talking about it. I had never seen the game played before, but I was sure it was really fun to watch. We stayed in Luca a couple of days waiting for a boat to take us to Kilika. I was getting bored of traveling. I loved seeing the world and all, but traveling was hard and I was tired. I wanted to find the place I would call home.

At Kilika the boats were running slowly so we had to wait again. It fun though. I got to swim in the ocean and I visited the temple. The night before we left Kilika Kimahri told me that this boat trip would be the final leg of our journey. Tomorrow we were going to arrive at the island of Besaid. That's where I was to live. It had a nice ring to it. Kimahri said it was very peaceful and pretty. I think that was why my father wanted me to live there.

It was a truly wonderful day the next morning. As we sailed toward the isle I smiled almost as bright as the sun. We left the boat at the dock in mid- afternoon. There were quite a few people waiting at the dock for friends or family. I started to like Besaid the minute I saw it. Everyone seemed so friendly. Kimahri and I walked up the trail leading to the village. I was really nervous, but I sensed everything was going to be alright. The village was a very pleasant. There were a bunch of huts scattered around the village center and the temple was in the back. That was where we headed. On the temple steps three kids looked at us oddly. I don't know what they were looking at they were also an odd bunch. The two boys had weird looking red hair and well the girl was kind of scary. She was dressed in almost all black which I thought was odd because it was warm on Besaid and she had piercing red eyes. They followed us into the temple, but hung back in the doorway staring. We were greeted by a priest. Kimahri explained the situation to him. The priest looked at me. I looked at my feet. After Kimahri was done talking the priest nodded and said that the temples took in a lot of children who were orphaned by Sin. I was relieved and glad there was a place for me here. The priest showed me to a room where I could leave my thing and said that I should get to know the village. I noticed Kimahri stayed out of the conversation the priest had with me. He watched from the sidelines. I soon learned to get used to that. I got up to run to the door, but Kimahri stopped me. "If you're all settled then I guess my job is done." he said.

"No," I said, "don't leave me please stay."

He put his hand on my shoulder and nodded. I think he was secretly glad I asked.

"Kimahri stay with Yuna, but Yuna must find Yuna's own place in the world." he said. I didn't understand his words at the time, but I thought it was a nice thing to say.

So what'd you think. Please review!
