Prologue
As I walked down the streets of Bevelle, I noticed a big crowd surrounding the red carpet leading up to the temple; I guessed that a summoner was here or one had just been made. I had no clue that he would be looking for another guardian. "Excuse me, people of Bevelle," He shouted, "As you all know, I'm Lord Braska and I'm here looking for another guardian, and um-" The crowd erupted into a loud applause and cheers for his two guardians that came up beside him. 'Wow, he wouldn't choose me for his guardian,' I thought. "Everyone return to your normal schedules, and act like we were never here!" one of his guardians said. I didn't really care if they were here or not. He would most likely choose another male guardian.
They stayed for a few days, approached many people, and as they were leaving, I was approached by Braska and his entourage. I (me, of all people!) was asked the same questions as all the others, like "What is your weapon of choice?" and "Do you have any personal ties back here in Bevelle?" Most people that live in Bevelle do have personal ties. "Well, Zetsumei, maybe we can stay over at your place, and we'll leave tomorrow morning, bright and early." Lord Braska said. My face twitched. "Sure, I guess"
Later that day, I finished what I had to do and returned home. The place ws an organized mess, and the only places that were perfect was the bathroom, the kitchen, and my bedroom (part of it was my fault, but I haven't been home for a while…). "Could we get everyone in the main room?" I asked Braska. He nodded and went off to get the other two.
The odd thing was that both of them had brown eyes, seemed like alcoholics, and had dark colored hair. "Miss Zetsumei, I am Jecht and well, I used to play Blitzball." The one on the left said. And the one on the right calmly said, "My name is Auron, Lady Zetsumei." I smiled and then Braska spoke up. "This is our second time to Bevelle, and we still need to get to Mt. Gagazet and from there to Zanarkand, our final destination." "Oh, alright then. I'll just get some rest and uh…" I didn't show, but I was actually afraid to have 3 guys in my house.
The next morning, I got up and took a shower. "Knock, Knock! Zetsumei?" Braska called. "I'm in the bathroom, don't come in!" I responded. "Anything I could get you?" "You could get the clothes that I have on my bed, and hand them to me." Braska grabbed the clothes carefully and nudged open the bathroom door and set them down on the counter. I got out of the shower and get dressed. I was wearing a red gown with gold dragons on it with black leggings underneath it with black-and-red sandals and black gloves (that I didn't put on yet!). I walked out of my room and shut the door behind me after grabbing my 'bottomless' dark blue bag.
"Good morning, Zetsumei!" Jecht and Braska said simultaneously. I smelled food. "Hey sit down by Jecht and I'll bring you something to eat." Braska said. I sat down by Jecht, which was across from Auron. After a quick breakfast, we set out on our tireless journey.
A few days later we had the final Aeon and we were waiting on sin to come by, eventually it did "There it is!" We all shouted.We got ready for the fightand Braska used the final summoning. I was used to long battles, even when I couldn't fight. Auron was paying so much attention to the fight, I couldn't even talk to him. But occasionally a fiend would come by and at lest I'd have a decent battle, and one time I almost got taken out by a Chimera, Auron still didn't notice (and the battle was right in front of him… He only laughed at me….).
"Auron! Get out of here!" Braska yelled. Auron just stayed put, he wasn't going to leave a good friend. The final summoning disappeared and in its place Jecht collapsed. Braska fell to his knees and then onto his face. Auron ran up to them, and I followed. "They're gone!" Auron said "I only have you, now. Don't go dying on me!" I looked confused. 'Why, they were gone! And I'm the only one he's got left? I was never anything more than a friend. 'Auron started running off to where we saw Yunalesca and gained the final Aeon.
"No! Where is the sense in all this? Braska believed in Yevon's teachings and then died for them! Jecht believed in Braska and gave his life for him!" Auron yelled frustrated. "They chose to die," Yunalesca said calmly, "because they had hope." Auron launched forward with his sword drawn to attack Yunalesca, but she, from 5 feet away, knocked him back. He landed flat on his face. I gasped. "Auron! Are you-" Yunalesca laughed, "Fool guardian, he's drifting too…" Then she disappeared. I ran over to Auron, he wasn't dead, just in a death-like trance. I shook him a couple of times. He woke up.
He looked up at me, he had a scar over his eye, it was a terrible and sickening sight to see. He stood up and picked up his sword. "Let's go." He said as he started to walk away.
