This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic. Please bear with me. Please review it as well, both positive and negative feedback is welcome. How can I improve if no one tells me what is wrong? Unless it is already perfect! ^ ^;; I will continue to write this as long as I see some interest. Thanks.
Chapter 1
He had crawled, near death, for what seemed like days. The road from Zanarkand to the base of Mount Gagazet was a fairly short one, but not when crawling on one's stomach. He was young and strong, yet seemed to have the wisdom of many years. His read coat nearly reached his feet, and there was no left sleeve, his arm was bare. A large flask hung from his belt on his right side.
He looked up to see three Ronsos, they were arguing. Two of the Ronsos were standing next to each other, and they were more than a foot taller than the third. It looked like the larger two were belittling the smaller one. The small Ronso was covered in blue fur, and had what appeared like two, small, white wings on his back. He was large compared to a human, yet small for a Ronso.
"Kimahri is weak Ronso. Small Ronso." The largest said in a mocking voice.
"Kimahri is afraid of Biran, afraid of Yenke." The second interjected.
"Kimahri is not afraid of Biran and Yenke. Kimahri is small, but Kimahri is strong. Biran and Yenke afraid of Kimahri." His voice did not waiver, he stood strong to Biran and Yenke.
At this, Biran's face changed from amused to angered. He swung his fist at Kimahri. Kimahri hit the ground hard. That punch would have most likely killed a man, yet Kimahri tried to stand. Biran kicked him in the stomach, and dropped to his knees. He grabbed Kimahri in a headlock. Using his free arm he took hold of the horn on Kimahri's head. With all the might Biran possessed, he snapped Kimahri's horn in half.
Kimahri raged, and attempted to free himself from Biran's grasp, but Yenke jumped in and held him down. He continued to struggle against their grip, but they overpowered him. Eventually, he stopped. Biran and Yenke released their grip on Kimahri.
"With no horn, Kimahri is disgrace to Ronso." Biran said well getting up.
He and Yenke walked off towards the slope of Mount Gagazet, not noticing the man who witnessed it all.
Both the man and Kimahri heard Yenke shouting: "Hornless! Hornless!" while walking back to the mountain. Kimahri rose to his feet, and stood motionless as he watched Biran and Yenke walking away, his horn still clutched in Biran's hand.
The man still lay there. He knew that the hornless Ronso could not return to Mount Gagazet. A Ronso's horn is a Ronso's pride. He knew this was his last chance to fulfill a promise he made to a friend.
"Ronso, please… please help. I'm in need of a favor." He cried, but it only came out as a whimper.
The Ronso turned towards him; another thing the Ronsos are known for is their acute hearing.
"Who are you?" Kimahri asked, politely, as most Ronsos do.
"No time… my life is running short. There… there is a favor that I need to ask of you." His voice was getting weaker. "I ask this, as Auron, Guardian of High Summoner Braska."
At these words, Kimahri's eyes opened with shock. "Sir Auron, Kimahri will help."
"Thank you. I had… had promised Braska that once we defeated Sin, I would remove his daughter, Yuna, form the city of Bevelle. He… he asked that I take her to a small island, near Kilika, called… Besaid." He strained to speak each word. "As you can see, I can… cannot take her there. So I ask you, Ronso…"
"Kimahri."
"Very well, Kimahri, I ask you… to go to Bevelle, find Yuna, and take her… her to Besaid. Tell her that her father's last wish… was to see he live in a place… a place so peaceful as Besaid." At this, the man's eyes closed. His last breath came from his mouth, and he lay there, still.
"Kimahri will." He picked up his poleaxe, which lay near where he encountered Biran and Yenke, and left Gagazet, not to return for ten years.
