Hello! This is my very first time posting a story and I'm only making this story because my friend told me it can help with Anxiety and stress so I had a idea for it so why not!? :)

this is my first story and I know my grammar is awful so please keep your grammar police to your self because i don't care, anyone who actually reads this I want to say thank you and i really appreciate it!

while writing this I listen to the final fantasy X soundtrack so it might make it better for to experience it the way I did :D

chapter 1 , Leaving kilika

Kilika island has always been my favorite place the sun is always shining and there's always enough work because of the fiends from the forest, but after the attack from sin it doesn't feel right taking the people's gil so I've decided to go to Luca, I need to go to the temple first to pray for safe passage I've never been a big believer in yevon but better safe than sorry as mom always said

On the way to the temple I hear some of the villagers talk about the summoner from yesterday saying how they felt she's going to be the one to bring the claim like her father, i always get lost in thought and space out I almost didn't even notice that someone had taken out the huge Ochu in the middle of the forest, i stare at the empty space where the large fiend slept, amazed that someone took it out I've been laying traps around it hoping to kill it, there's markings of fire all over the ground maybe a mage did it? Once again I'm lost in thought when I suddenly hear a scream coming from the temple steps I start running as fast as I could to who had screamed right before the last set of stairs to the temple there was a huge sinspawn and boy did it look angry fighting it was a blonde boy and a girl who appears to be a summoner , behind the two laying on the ground was two people and a ronso, I run up to the two still standing and join the fight

Who are you? The Blondie asked

I'm here to help I reply

I started attacking the spawns hand tentacles things with my two blades finally after from what it seem forever we defeated the beast, the others haven't woken up yet and the young summoner doesn't seem like she can heal a lot yet

I get out my bag and luckily had 4 Hi potions I quickly handed them the potions and I started using it ,

It took a minute to work but the other guardians finally woke up Blondie explain what happened then they all looked to me

The orange haired one introduces himself first "I'm Wakka Praise be to yevon you came by ya?" And offers his hand I can tell that is wakka is good fella so I shaked his hand and introduced myself "Nice to meet you wakka I'm El-" " Capitan!" Two men dressed in the same attire as wakka came running interrupting me "capitan the Luca goers are here!" One of them shouted "what in yevons are they doing here?" wakka said looking extremely frustrated the group started to head up the stair when the young summoner turns to me "Sir El, thank you so much for helping I pray we'll meet again" bowing before she leaves

I wave goodbye to them " see ya"

I didn't realize they were blitzball players maybe I'll see them again when I get to Luca I start to wonder where the day will take me when I'm rudely bumped into by the Luca goers " watch it loser" one of them said I just stare at them as they are walking down the steps "they definitely have a stick of their asses"

Finally at the temple when a village girl came up to me "elly did you see the summoner? Apparently she's the daughter of Lord Braska!" She said when a toothy smile I place my hand on her head " yes I did! The summoner and her guardians took care of that ochu in the forest too!" Her expression started to beam with joy as she starts jumping up and down " alright! Now I don't have to take the back roads!" I just smiled at her when I came to kilika a few years ago her and her sister let me stay with them in exchange for working in their shop unfortunately thanks to sin they had lost their house but both of them are still smiling, " hey elly are you really gonna go to luca later?" I can see she's trying not to cry I bend down so I'm eyes height with her "yes I have a feeling that's where I need to go next " she jumps on me and starts to cry " don't worry little one I'll come back and see you okay?" I ask her all she does is nod with a quiet "okay" she reminds me of my brothers and sisters back home it starts to make me even more homesick but I quickly push those feelings away "i don't got time to think about home!" I start to think to myself, I get up from the little girl and head into the temple everyone inside are all busy and excited about lord Braska's daughter being here I kinda hard to even hear inside so I made my prayer Quick, as I was starting to head out of the temple the high preacher calls me out" my dear we all wanted to tell you how much we appreciate how you fought all of the fiends throughout the years for the island of kilika" the old man said as he bows " it is not a problem father thank you for letting me come here when I had troubles" I say to him as I start to bow as well

He continues to say everyone will pray for my safety I tell him thank you and take my leave,

right before I start down the steps I look at the view of kilika one more time "i can't believe I won't see this view everyday but I also said the same thing when I left home too" I take in the view one more time and start down the steps, by the time I get back to the docks the boat is starting to load up the supplies so instead of saying goodbye i'm just going to go ahead and get on it was hard enough telling them I was leaving I don't think I can say goodbye, I'd made sure I have all i needed and got on I found the under deck to be nice and cooled so it was a good time for a nap,

When I awoke it was very late and there was a lot more blitzball players on board now too

I decided that there was Way too many people in one room and I needed to get out I've never been good with being in big groups of people I start to feel like there wasn't enough air even if I was outside I started to think back when I left home when out of the out when a old man came up to me " oooh let me look at ye clothes…. Filthy yuck!" The man spouted " theses rags won't fetch me any gil at all! Just like the last lad what is wrong with theses kids now day" He face had a disgusted,bored look to it " excuse me? Who said anything about selling my clothes !? Plus who are you anyways?" I snap back at him he looks at me with surprised face " ooh you don't know me!? I'm O'aka a traveling merchant" " nope never heard of you" I tell him with monotone voice and cold stare trying to make it clear I really don't care "you've never heard of me!? … well not a lot of people have but one day that'll change!" Well the guy definitely has a dream there's no denying that, I started to walk off when he stopped me " say lad you wouldn't happen be able to lend me some Gil would ya?" " you insulted my clothes and asking to borrow some money? You do realized how rude that was?" I told him all he could say was times are hard , I look in my wallet to see how much I could lend him I've been in his shoes before and know what's it like " here O'aka " I handed him 100 gil his face started to light up " thanks lad I'll make it up to you,that I will" he starts to say " no don't worry about next time you see someone in need of help do the same to them" I tell him " you're a good sort aren't you" he asked with a puzzled face " nah if you only put good out in the world good may come back to you" I tell the man and started to walk away. That's what liz always used to say when we're younger she was always the good soul in our little group of misfits I started to think back to those times when I bumped into someone hard enough to fall with a loud thump "ow"I said out loud while rubbing my backside that really hurt! I looked up to who I bumped into "I'm sorry man I wasn't looking where I was…. hey! It's you!" I said to none other than the Blonde Guardian himself! He looked around to see where the voice was coming from when he spotted me he smiled " oh hey! I didn't know you were going to Luca too!" He offered a hand to help me up to which I took after getting up I smiled back " I didn't know we were taking the same boat! How did the cloister of trials go Blondie?" "it went well besides from that Dona and her ape of a guardian throw me in there! Also the names tidus" "Dona?" I asked slightly confused " oh just a summoner who has a stick up her ass"

"Oh wait why weren't you down there to begin with? I thought you were a guardian?" We walk over to the side of the boat where He then explains the whole deal of what happened and how Yuna asked him to be her guardian "wow tidus that's a lot to take in for just a few days, are you going to take the job" " I don't really know if I should" he said with a trouble to look I look at him and put my hand on his shoulder " I think you should! I saw how you fought back there with that sinspawn you got the makings of a GREAT guardian! " I tell him with as much excitement and encouragement I can express, " really? You think I protect yuna?" " hey she isn't dead after that fight and you were the only one left standing! I think that's mean you got something amazing in you" "thanks man! Maybe I will then"

"Good" I tell him smiling from ear to ear it always makes me feel better when I can help someone through their troubles even tho I can't help myself through my own, after a few minutes of silence I look over to him " so you said you're from zanarkand? I asked he then back up abit throwing his hands up " well I got to close to sins toxic annnd um …" he trailed off not really looking em in the face anymore " if you believe that's where you're from then who am I to judge" he snapped his head towards me and I just simply smiled at him " if that's your home then I hope one day you make it back" I said looking back at the sea " thanks I hope so too" he said doing to the same I shot him a smirk " and if we are to continue the random bumping into each other then you must tell me stories of you're zanarkand " he laughed "sure"

" Hey tidus need to get some sleep we got the big game in the morning!" Wakka said from the top deck " oh hey el! You're here too!?" Wakka said with a smiling shocked face " well i gotta see the the besaid aurochs win the tournament!" I yell back up to him he starts jumping " that's right we are gonna win! So you better be cheering for us ya?" He said beaming with joy "YEAH!" I said while striking a hero pose after that tidus went off to bed and I walked to the front of the ship and stared at the stars until yuna herself came over to me with her ronso guarding her I get up from my spot on the ground " good even lady yuna im happy we get to meet again" I said as I bow to her "so am I, sir el why are you going to luca if you don't mind me asking?" She said with the sweetest of voices she's almost too nice to be a summoner I thought before answering " I'm not to sure myself to be honest I just got a feeling I need to go there" i tell her with a smile " i understand maybe the fayth are trying to send you a sign"

" maybe or maybe I'm just trying to drive myself crazy with all the people there " I laughed awkwardly I heard a small giggle from her " I take it you don't like people too much?" "Don't get me wrong my lady, I like people but too many people at once makes be sick" I say while putting my hands in my pockets realizing there's a hole in one of them, "I can understand from what you're saying well i hope we meet again in Luca" "from how things are going lady yuna I feel like we will" I said while waving bye to her and walking away

I check the upper deck to see if it's clear which it luckily is so I decided that this is where I'm going to go to sleep at, I layer down looking at the stars thinking back to what's all happen today and wondering what tomorrow will bring I didn't realize that I started to fall into a dreamless sleep.
