-Chapter One-
Determination


Seventeen year old Tyani pulled her long blonde hair under the giant violet mage's hat on her head. "Perfect," she grinned.

"Yeah Ty, it'd be perfect if you could hide those lovely green eyes of yours," a red head man said. He had violet eyes, and wore a blitzball outfit.

"You act like I didn't already figure this out, Vidina," Tyani scoffed. She pulled out a small case, revealing two contacts, colored blue. Expertly placing them in, she turned to the young man. "So? Do you think they will let me in the temple?"

Vidina circled his friend. He and Tyani had been friends since they were little. Her mother and his parents had travelled together as guardians on the last High Summoner's pilgrimage. "The priests will let you in, yeah. Your parents, hell no."

Sighing loudly, Tyani crossed her arms. "Well if my mom wasn't so stubborn, she'd let me. I know I can find a way to defeat Sin, without the Final Summoning. I just have to."

"So you won't let yourself die?" Vidina asked.

"Of course not!" Tyani cried. "Unlike all the other stupid people who went off and killed themselves for Spira, I will find a way. I don't care how long it takes. Sin will not come back after I defeat him."

"So how do you plan on doing it? Getting past your parents that is?" the boy asked.

"Well, your parents live in Besaid. We're going to visit them today."

Vidina laughed. "How long exactly have you been planning this, Ty?"

"Many years, my friend. I want to show those stupid Yevonites how stupid all their rules are. They'll never harm another Al Bhed once they find out I defeat Sin, even though I was an Al Bhed," Tyani said fiercely. All the problems that she had gone through in life were usually because she was Al Bhed. A 'heathen' as some prefered to call her people.

"And your grandfather?" Vidina added.

Tyani looked in the mirror, thinking about her mother's father. Cid. He was the leader of the Al Bhed. Living in their Home, plotting against Sin. "If all goes well, no one will find out. And if they do, no one will stop me." She faced Vidina, a smile on her face, "What about your father? He won't stop you will he?"

"Let's just, not tell him. He can be hardheaded sometimes," Vidina said.

"Right. Well come on!" Tyani jumped up, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?" asked a pretty blonde woman.

Pulling her hat down over most of her eyes, Tyani peered up at her mother, "To Besaid."

"What are you going to do there?" her mother asked.

"Oh, you know. Go fishing, visit Wakka and Lu, meet up with some of the other people, you know. The usual," Ty nodded.

"Well you two be good. And be back tomorrow. Your father and I are going to do some salvaging and we need you to come with," her mother said. "You're welcome to come too, if you like Viddy."

"Thanks Rikku," Vidina grinned, "I'll try if and stop by if I can."

"Say hi to your parents for me and Gippal," Rikku smiled. She continued down the hall, leaving the duo breathless.

Sighing with relief, Tyani pulled off the floppy hat. "Better take these out until we get there," she said, removing the crystal blue contacts, her emerald swirled eyes visible.

"I don't know; it seemed too easy," Vidina said warily.

"Mom's losing her touch anyways," Tyani dismissed the worry.

"Duilrat eh dra rayt syopa," the redhead suggested in Al Bhed.

Tyani's jaw dropped, "That's my mother your talking about!"

Vidina smirked, "You said it yourself - Ouin vysemo ec vilgat ib."

It was true. Tyani said on a number of occasions that her family was strange. Her father was on a never ending hunt for a machina called Vegnagun, while her mother was on a hunt of her own to find a way to save all summoners. Her uncle's name was Brother (as if that wasn't weird enough) and he only spoke Al Bhed, which few did anymore. Her grandfather was always battling with some Yevonite. Her mother's cousin was a summoner (a High Summoner), and sacrificed herself even when her mother tried to save her. Her mother's uncle was also a High Summoner who had married an Al Bhed (her grandfather's sister) and still sacrificed himself. Although Wakka and Lulu weren't really related to her or her mother, they were considered family because they had travelled with her mother and her mother's cousin on her pilgrimage. But Wakka was an overbearing butthead, and Lulu was too stern. Tyani considered Vidina her only sane family member. They shared a lot, even the Al Bhed language, much to Wakka's dismay. "I know, I know."

"Well, let's get going," Vidina smiled.

The duo walked down the long corridor to the entrance of Home.
Ieyui

Tidus sat in his Zanarkand, all alone. Everything was so distorted, as it had been for so long. He had stalled as long as he could, trying to make Yuna's Calm as long as possible. But no matter what, he couldn't stop himself. Sin.

Nobomenu

He was so angry at himself, for letting down everyone. The Fayth had wanted him to end the dream. To save Spira from Sin. But he failed. He gave into the Final Summoning. And Rikku, he couldn't forget the look on her face when they had seperated. He knew she hated him for all he was worth. He didn't blame her.

Renmiri

But the blonde blitzball player could never forgive himself for letting down Yuna. They were supposed to fade away together, be happy for always and forever. He had broken his promise to her. Every day, he heard the sharp whistle, piercing through even the skin of Sin. Yuna was whistling for him, always. He was supposed to have come running. But he failed.

Yojuyogo

The sound of the hymn was all he looked forward too. It calmed him, kept him from beating himself up over all the stupid mistakes he made. It kept Sin at bay too. He was Sin. The destroyer of Spira. Spira's sorrow. Sin was him. Just like his father before him. And again, there was the whistle. He wanted to yell, "I'm coming Yuna!" but he would grow angrier and more upset, and Sin would cause destruction as always.

Hasatekanae

The Fayth had told him exactly what they should have done. Questioned the Final Summoning. Confront Yunalesca. Defeat his father. Send Yu Yevon and the aeons to the Farplane. End the dream of the Fayth. And he would disappear. But Yuna would still be alive. That would have been enough for him.

Kutamae

"I'm sorry, Yuna. Rikku. Everyone..." he whispered, closing his eyes tight.

"Sin!" an Al Bhed cried.

Vidina and Tyani both spun around, dodging the panicking Al Bhed. "No..." Tyani whispered. How was it possible that Sin had reached Home? "Come on! We have to get out of here!" She grabbed Vidina's hand and they sprinted down the hall to the exit. She knew her way around the desert well enough that she could easily get to the Oasis with her eyes closed. That would be a safe place. Hopefully.

"We'll be killed out there!" Vidina shouted.

"We'll be killed in here too!" Tyani replied quickly as they ran out the door into the blinding sun. Her shoes began to fill with sand, an uncomfortable feeling as the scorching heat beat down on them. The oasis was in sight, and they were almost there. "Sin is behind us, we have to get to the water and stay down. It will attack Home and leave." Again hopefully.

"I hope you're right," Vidina said worriedly as they reached the sole source of water in the Sanubia Desert. They leapt into the shoulder deep water, watching the giant monstrousity inch nearer to the Al Bhed sanctuary.

Tyani squeezed her eyes shut, biting hard on her lower lip. She didn't want to watch her Home get destroyed by Sin. "Oh please oh please oh please oh please turn around..." she begged quietly. She heard gunshots and explosions. And screams. Somehow, she knew the fate of her Home.
"Ty, wake up..."

Opening her emerald eyes, Tyani saw the face of her friend Vidina over her. "What happened?" she asked.

"You passed out," Vidina said. Everything was so quiet.

"And Home?"

"Gone..."

The Al Bhed girl sat up, tears burning in her eyes. "Did anyone escape?"

Vidina nodded. "Some people escaped on the airship. I don't know who though."

Tyani pulled her knees to her chest, stifling a sob. Everything she had known was gone. Home had returned to the sands. Again. She could only hope her parents had escaped. "I must defeat Sin."

"I know," Vidina wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulder. "I'll help you."

"Thanks Viddy." Tyani let a few tears fall. "To Besaid then, I guess."

"Right."

The duo silently walked across the Sanubia Desert, fighting off fiends. There was a dock at the edge of the island where a boat would come in a day. Tyani didn't understand how it had happened, but her life had changed in just a few minutes. She was determined to fight Sin. And win. Forever.

Al Bhed Translation:
Duilrat eh dra rayt syopa - Touched in the head maybe
Ouin vysemo ec vilgat ib. - Your family is fucked up.
