Bikanel Island

We were told that something great was about to happen to us. My father didn't tell me, of course, that we would be leaving Bikanel Island, our Home, and probably never coming back. When it was explained, we were told that, I, Brother and Keyakku were leaving to find power, machine, and spheres, to salvage great treasure for the Al Bhed. I wasn't too happy of course and flung myself against my father, begging him to reconsider. I loved Home, I never wanted to leave. It seemed Keyakku had the same thoughts.

"Fro yna oui tuehk drec du ic, Let?" Why are you doing this to us, Cid? Keyakku exploded at my father, trying to push him over, but being held back by Brother.

"Dra Ym Prat yna toehk uid," The Al Bhed are dying out, was all he could say to us.

We couldn't refuse this. If we said no, who knows what could happen. I was told everything was going to be alright, but I had my doubts. Sending us away was not a good idea. It was like Banishment!

They told me I would need to know how to fight and that Keyakku would teach me. He didn't want to though and was forced to. I can only write what is happening here, no where else. If it was found by a Yevon, they would know what we were up to. I must keep this really secret. I hope the future for the Al Bhed will be bright.

Bikanel Island

So much is happening. I was given a Claw to fight with and Keyakku taught me how to steal. Brother gave me a pouch full of grenades and I love them both for doing this. I am practicing fighting on some weak fiends. It is so much fun and now I can't wait to leave on our quest. I have better aspirations now. I think everything is going to be ok.

When I was eating lunch with my father, Keyakku and Brother, Keyakku started an interesting conversation, which also made me feel very bad.

"Fryd ev fa vyem?" What if we fail? Keyakku asked.

My father looked up suddenly, shocked he had asked this. He wasn't expecting us to fail.

"Oui fuh'd…" You won't… was all he could say.

"Pid, tyt, fryd ev fa tu?" But, dad, what if we do? I decided to join in.

"Drah dra Ym Prat femm tea uid...Fa yna ymm namoehk uh oui..." Then the Al Bhed will die out, we are all relying on you… he said.

My father scared me sometimes into thinking it was my fault something happened. He had a great leader inside of him. I admired him for this.

We had decided to leave in two days, since I was ready to leave. My father is getting excited and Keyakku has fallen silent. Just like him to do that. It makes me laugh. Oh well. Brother will sort this out.

Bikanel Island

I watched the airship come in today. I have only been on one once, when I was a little baby and we were visiting our cousin, Yuna. It is starting to scare me now, that we will never see our Home again. Keyakku tells me otherwise, but it is true. And if we do see Home again, I will be overjoyed at this fact. I am going to miss everyone at Home, including my enemies. I've had such a great experience at Home, but now I am being told to leave. Another chapter of my life opens and another closes, I guess.

We started packing our things into the airship this afternoon. I took a cabin down the far end, alone. This salvage quest is going to take us all over Spira, unless something intervenes. I am going to have so much fun! I can't wait to leave tomorrow!

Salvage Ship

The water below us is rough and we were told to leave our airship behind, since it needed repairs. You can imagine how angry Brother was. The inside of the ship isn't all that flash either. It is pretty yuck actually. There is mould growing in practically every corner and the walls are stained. I have to keep my stuff away from the rats and mice.

Brother showed me how to navigate with a 3D map. He said we had found some wrecks on land and we were heading there right now. He said maybe we could find some treasure there, and Keyakku dared to object. It was all bleak, in hoping there would be treasure there, but that was all we could do. Hope was our key.

Brother is calling me now, as we near the wreck. I will write more later on. I'll tell you what we find.
