Chapter 1: Witnessing a Dream
Rikku always admired summoners and sometimes even wanted to become one herself. Even though she was an Al-Bhed and was looked poorly upon by most, that didn't change the fact that she wanted to become a summoner. She thought that travelling the land of Spira and visiting various temples was fascinating and always wanted to have guardians to protect her. But what she thought was the most intriguing were the Aeons that she could summon. She hadn't seen one in person, but she heard that they were powerful beings that held immense power. She never thought she would never see an Aeon in person... until she asked to become Yuna's new guardian.
"I'm so glad you guys accepted me into the group, now I can finally see an Aeon in action" said Rikku while cheerfully skipping around.
After a couple minutes of walking towards Guadosalam they encountered three Ochus which is very strange considering they usually come alone or at least one other weak fiend, but never in threes.
"Let's take 'em on, ya?" exclaimed Wakka with a confident look on his face.
"Don't be ridiculous. Yuna, you know what to do." said Auron while he rested his sword on his shoulder.
"Yes!" she said and began to twirl her staff. A tiny ember sparked from the tip of her staff and fell on the grass below her. A circle of flame appeared around her and the grass turned to molten rock. The stone erupted with Yuna still on top and in the middle of all the flame revealed a canine-like beast with big horns and flame emitting from it's body like some kind of aura. It safely caught Yuna on it's shoulder and set her down before howling at the three Ochus who were seemingly intimidated by it's presence.
"Cool looking Aeon, ya?" chuckled Wakka. "Ifrit. He's my favourite."
That word echoed in Rikku's ears.
"A-Aeon?" she stuttered with wide eyes. "So this... is an Aeon."
A/N:
So yeah, it seems a bit short, but no worries. It gets steamy real quick. 0 to 100.
