"Push, Lady Isabella, push!" yelled Dr. Legolas to Isabella Anderson. Isabella Anderson, Guardian and Shuyin Summoner of Spira had gone into labor nearly two hours ago as her contractions became closer and closer together.
With all of her might, she gave one last push.
"One more, Lady Anderson!" said Dr. Legolas, as he smiled down at her. Isabella groaned in despair and breathed once more. Never again would she through a natural birth.
"Gods of Yevon, might I have an epidural?!" she shrieked as her husband, Arthur Anderson, turned pale as she nearly broke his hand.
"You know we cannot do that, Lady Anderson," said Dr. Legolas gently. "Now push!"
Isabella cursed the Gods of Yevon as well as Merlin as she gave her last and final push. Arthur let out a sigh of relief as she released his broken hand, for which the nurse already made a cast. Dr. Legolas smiled at the sight of the last baby, who had jet-black hair and amber brown eyes. As he checked her vital signs, his heart stopped. Isabella sensed this and breathed, "Is something wrong?"
"Her pulse is faint," he said, as the baby with golden brown eyes grasped his index finger weakly. "Gods of Yevon, no..."
"Isabella," Arthur breathed, as he lay his unbroken hand on her shoulder to steady her in bed.
"What about the other one?" Isabella asked nervously. The nurse held the other baby with jet black hair, whose eyes remained closed.
"She's fine, m'lady," said the nurse, handing the baby to Isabella. "What do you wish to name her?"
"Aliana Ariana Elenora Isabel Anderson," Isabella said, as she cradled the baby in her arms. Baby Aliana had opened her eyes at this point revealing them to be aqua blue color. Without warning, the room began to shake violently.
"What in the name of Merlin?" asked Arthur, as he held on tightly to Isabella to steady her in bed. He looked over at Legolas fearfully. Much to his surprise, Legolas was smiling as he checked the other baby's vital signs once more.
"Her heart beat is has strengthened immensely," he said, looking at Isabella. "Check Aliana's pulse, Nurse Ingram."
Isabella handed Aliana to Nurse Ingram, watching nervously as Aliana's vital signs were checked. The nurse shook her head in disbelief. "God's of Yevon," she said quietly as Legolas came to her side.
"What is it?" he whispered to her.
"The one that you are holding is not the One, but both," Nurse Ingram said to him. Legolas' smile faltered.
"Will someone please tell us what's going on?" Isabella snapped. Legolas said nothing, but merely walked over to her with the baby and handed her to Isabella.
"What do you wish to name the new Guardian and Shuyin Summoner of Spira, Lady Isabella?" he asked her, causing Arthur Anderson to fall to the floor and faint.
Ten years later (1988)
"Aundrea!" called Isabella Anderson, her voice ringing loudly through the Anderson mansion. Ten-year-old Aundrea Anderson glided into the throne room and bowed before her mother gracefully. Isabella smiled at her daughter.
"I'm so proud of you, my darling," Isabella said to Aundrea, who was dressed in robes of pure white embroidered with gold. "Valedictorian and the first Shuyin Summoner to graduate from Lord Braska's Academy at such a young age!"
"Honestly, Isabella," Arthur Anderson said, coming into the room with little Aliana tagging alongside him.
"Aliana!" Isabella yelled, her smile faltered at the sight of the eldest twin. "What happened to your clothes?"
"I tripped in the gardens walking with father, mother," Aliana replied in her tart Spanish accent. Over the years, the twins had developed their own native tongue, Aundrea's being British English since she attended Lord Braska's Academy, and Aliana picking up the family's second language of Spanish from her mother's side. Aundrea's golden brown eyes grew wide with a smile as she looked her twin, who smiled back.
"You think this is funny?" Isabella asked Aliana coldly, her amber eyes piercing Aliana's aqua colored ones. Aliana shook her head, causing Aundrea's heart to flutter nervously. Without warning, Isabella walked over to Aliana and snatched her by the arm, pulling her from the room. Arthur covered Aundrea's ears as he listened to Aliana's screams of pain while Isabella spanked her. Aundrea's long silky black hair began to sway back and forth dangerously as she heard her sister's screams. Arthur let her go and watched in horror as Aundrea's golden star scar on the left side of her forehead began to glow. The entire mansion began to shake dangerously, causing Aliana's cries of pain to stop. The chandelier, above Aundrea fell to the ground with a loud crash, causing Isabella to come rushing into the room with Aliana. The shaking stopped immediately. Aundrea's Star scar stopped glowing as she collapsed into her father's arms.
"Arthur?" Isabella asked him. "What was that?"
"It's time she began her Guardian training year from today," Arthur said, as he held a now sleeping Aundrea in his arms. "The Wizarding world needs her..."
One Year Later
The following year after Aundrea's graduation from Lord Braska's academy at the Zanarkand Temple of the Faith, Aundrea would begin Guardian training in Besaid. As Shuyin Summoner, she would make her way around Spira until she reached Mount Gagazet. The training would take a year at most according to Kelk Ronso. Isabella, Arthur, and Aliana had taken the Celsius airship along with Aundrea's godparents, Yuna and Tidus.
"Nanny Yuna?" asked eleven-year-old Aundrea Anderson as she sat on Yuna's bed in airship cabin.
"Yes?" Yuna replied. Aundrea merely looked up at her, suddenly lost in thought. This tall with woman flipped medium brown hair with one blue and green eye was High Summoner of Spira, as well as a lead sphere hunter on the team called the Gullwings. How can I live up to that? Aundrea found herself thinking a she stared out the window. Yuna placed a hand on her goddaughter's shoulder and smiled down at her.
"You'll do fine, Aundrea," she said, causing Aundrea to hug her tightly. There was warmth that eminated from Yuna that Aundrea loved. If only the same came from her mother towards Ali.
One year later (1990)
"Don't stop now!" yelled Maester Kelk Ronso at twelve-year-old Aundrea, who was halfway through her training. He watched as the young girl, swam at an alarming speed through the Moonflow from one end to the other. Looking at his watch, Kelk Ronso felt his jaw drop. Aundrea's record was in less than a minute. Before he knew it, she had gotten out of the water, breathing heavily.
"How'd I do?" Aundrea asked him.
"Fourty-eight seconds," Kelk Ronso said in disbelief showing her the watch. This girl was unbelievably fast. Aundrea simply smiled.
"Guess it's off through Guadosalam, and then the Thunderplains then," Aundrea said, as she dried off. Before Kelk Ronso could stop her, she dove back into the Moonflow, and headed for Guadosalam.
Aundrea back flipped quickly out of the way lightening as it struck. Kelk Ronso merely watched in belief from the lightening tower as the young Guardian-in-Training back flipped her way across the plains. He checked his timer once more, and merely shook his head as he walked towards the cheerful girl.
"Time?" she asked him, bouncing up and down as they reached the Macalania woods.
"Thirty-eight seconds," he said to her, causing Aundrea to do a double take.
"To make it across the Thunderplains?" she asked in shock.
"Yes," said Kelk Ronso as they reached the Macalania Woods. Aundrea jumped up and down, before running to hug him.
"Well, well isn't this a pleasant sight," asked a soft masculine voice, causing Aundrea to whip around. There standing before was none other than-
"Mae-maester Seymour?" she asked in shock. Quickly, she got to her knees and bowed to the Maester, who simply walked up to her and gently held her chin within his thumb and forefinger.
"You need not bow to me, m'lady," he said to her. "You are of higher status than I."
It was then, Maester Seymour Jyscal Jaeel Guado and his bodyguards bowed to Aundrea. She blushed and looked at Kelk Ronso, who shrugged. Aundrea cleared her throat loudly, indicating Seymour get up.
"I'm only Shuyin Summoner," Aundrea said to him in her sweet British accent, causing Seymour's heart to flutter unbeknownst to her. "And aren't you supposed to be on the Farplane?" she asked him, whipping out her staff. Seymour held up a hand to stop her.
"Please, let me explain," Seymour said to her, offering her his arms. She looked over at Kelk Ronso, who nodded. Taking his arm, Aundrea and Seymour proceeded through the Macalnia woods together until they reached the sphere spring. The Guado body guards had stayed behind with Kelk Ronso, much to Aundrea's relief. She merely stared at the water as it flowed quietly.
"Now talk," she said to Seymour. "And explain to me how the bloody hell you got off the Farplane."
"Simple, I'm not dead," Seymour snapped at Aundrea, as he stood by her side. "After Yuna sent me, I was given a second chance at life by the Gods of Yevon."
"You expect me to believe that rubbish?" Aundrea said coldly, turning to face him. "You tried to destroy Spira in the spiral of death with Sin!"
"Will you just listen?" Seymour said to the young girl. "My mother, who had sacrificed her life on to become an aeon for me was granted with a special gift after becoming Anima."
"Which was?" Aundrea asked.
"Becoming Goddess of Death and Rebirth," Seymour replied, causing Aundrea's jaw to drop.
"Because she gave up so much for her son to protect him," Aundrea said quietly. "In return, the Gods granted her the only thing she ever wanted and that was for him to have a normal life. But what the bloody hell happened to Lord Jyscal?"
"He is dead," Seymour said coldly. "That bastard was never granted life after what he did to my mother and I. Sending us to exile because he saw me nothing more than a monster."
Aundrea's Star scar began to glow at these words, causing Seymour to look at her in amazement. Aundrea's eyes turned the same color as his-a lavender color- as she began to rise into the air. Kelk Ronso and the Guado Body Guard quickly appeared at Seymour's side.
"What happened?" Kelk Rosno asked Seymour angrily.
"She just started to glow," Seymour replied loudly, watching Aundrea nervously. They watched in amazement as a bright golden light appeared, covering the entire spring. As it disappeared, Aundrea began to fall from the air, but Seymour caught her in his arms.
"What just happened?" asked Seymour to Maester Kelk Ronso.
"It appears that Aundrea had found her betrothed," replied a man from behind. Everyone turned to see it was Lord Tidus, Aundrea's godfather and son of Jecht, who was Guardian to Lord Braska before becoming Sin himself. The Guado bodyguards bowed as Tidus walked past them and towards Seymour.
"You," he said coldly. "How can this be?! Yuna!" he yelled. Lady Yuna appeared out of the mist as well staring at Seymour, who was still holding an unconscious Aundrea in his arms. Yuna stroked her goddaughter's forehead and smiled sadly at Seymour.
"How can that be?" Seymour asked dumbfounded, as he held Aundrea in his arms and looked at the young girl.
"Fate," said Lulu, a black mage one of Yuna's old guardians coming from the mist. "You and Aundrea are bound together by fate, Lord Seymour. The Guardian's Star Scar only glows when she has found her true love. Aundrea however does not know this yet, and won't be told until she reaches the age of sixteen. Nor will she remember any of this moment."
With those words, Lulu vanished leaving eighteen year old Seymour wondering what he had just done.
Seymour watched the young girl as she slept quietly in his arms. Kelk Ronso merely stood guard along with the Guado body guards, watching the two quietly.
'"How did this happen?" asked Maester Kelk Ronso to himself. "She's only twelve!"
"Maybe Seymour mentioned something to her that triggered that reaction," responded one of the bodyguards. Maester Kelk Ronso merely looked at him and nodded.
"Yes, but her reaction only happens like that when she really cares for someone," said Maester Kelk Ronso, remembering Aundrea's star scar glowing when her twin, Aliana was in pain. Over the years, High Summoner Yuna and Lord Tidus had told Aundrea the story of how Seymour had tried to destroy Spira nearly ten years ago. Aundrea had also taken it upon herself when studying at Lord Braska's Academy to research the life of Seymour for her Spirian Scholars thesis. Aundrea had traveled to the isle of Baaj with he, Kelk Ronso, after finding the six treasures to release the aeon Anima from her seal once more. There, the fayth who was Seymour's mother had become one with Aundrea as she obtained the aeon and told her to free her son. The only one of Aundrea's parents who knew of this was Arthur, who vowed to keep it from Isabella. Though she loved her daughter deeply, she went to any lengths to protect Aundrea from danger; shuddering at the thought, Maester Kelk diverted his mind elsewhere.
Six Months Later
Aundrea had completed her Guardian training successfully, shattering several records in the process. As she reached the top of Mount Gagazet, the final aeon came to her side. Together, Aundrea flew with the creature to the core of the Farplane Abyss where she recieved a blessing from Lynne and Shuyin, her late ancestors from thousands of years ago when Zanarkand had first been destroyed. Yuna had restored the Eternal Calm over Spira, but Zanarkand remained in ruins until it was discovered by Isabella that the ruins were a seal concealing the real city of Zanarkand. After defeating Vegnagun alongside Yuna, Isabella was able to breakthrough the seal. Hidden within the real city of Zanarkand, Isabella was found to have been of direct descentdant of Lynne, Lord Zaon and Yunalesca's daughter. This marked Isabela of royal lineage for Yunalesca was the daughter of Yu Yevon, the founder and ruler of Spira. Claiming the throne, Isabella ruled the city of Zanarkand alongside her husband, Arthur Andersn for several yaers as queen and Shuyin Sumoner before giving birth to Aundrea and Aliana. Now, Aundrea claimed the title as both Shuyin Summoner of Spira and Guardian of both the Wizarding and Muggle Worlds.
