Rikku's Tale

Chapter Two

After they left the house they ventured across the planes in search of the monsters reportedly found in the caves nearby the beach, the beach was across the plains. They traveled calmly eating their breakfast when they heard a rustle in some bushes nearby.

They approached it calmly, Rikku ahead, she wanted to prove to herself that she could cast fira. She called out to the bush:

"C'mon! Get out!" As she announced this a winged beast came out. It was a monstrous being (A monster of course!) with one eye, two scaly wings and multi-colored scales all over its body.

"OK! Go for that one!" Said her brother. He gestured towards the eye. That's its weekness. Aim fira there.

"Got it!" She jumped forward towards it, muttered the words for fira and threw her arms into the air near the beast. Burning flames appeared right around it. It's one eye become blood shot then the beast fell to the ground. Rikku killed the beast.

Her brother walked near it, it was certainly unconscious.

"Very nice Rikku!" Said her brother. She was in awe.

"I did it!!! YEAH!!! Stupid meanie!" Said Rikku to the one-eyed beast. She picked up the gil (the unit of currency of Spira and the Al Bhed), and the spheres left by the monster.

"Yeah I'm at the next sphere level!" She said to her brother. She pressed a button on her belt and a hologram of a sphere grid lit up in front of her. She placed a sphere in a spot on upgrade her health.

"OK, let's go!" Shouted Rikku to her brother as she ran ahead. They both went ahead looking out for monsters. Rikku, hurrying her brother along, was dashing in front of him just stepping on some sand as she entered the beach. The wind was blowing her hair behind her. She stopped it by clipping her hair with hairclip made by a shell she found on the beach a previous time. She looked towards her brother he was walking towards a cove nearby, he looked back at her and motioned Rikku over to the entrance.

It was dark, damp, and over all, very eerie. He walked inside and halted.

"Someone's here…" He said with a tone of concern. Rikku halted in her steps and gazed inside.

"But… No ones-" But she was interrupted. Her brother nodded and spoke:

"No one is supposed be here… No one, Al Bhed…" He began to walk inside further. They both walked inside, making sure not to speak. They didn't tell each other to not speak. They just felt they shouldn't.

A while after they began walking they came across a lightly lit area.

"Welcome…" Said a rather mysterious voice.

"What? Who's there?" responded Rikku. As soon as she said this a figure wearing cloak dropped down from ahead of her.

"Who-" Began Rikku.

"Turn around…" He (the figure) told them. Rikku's brother jumped by her and drew out his point-gun. Then Rikku looked up. Right ahead of her was a huge beast. It looked like a alligator crossed with horse, with two tails, and more layers of teeth than needed. It was the size of about two Rikkus.

"Rikku's brother fired. The small harpoon (or "point") shot out of the gun and stuck into the creature's forehead, some blood scattered around its face and onto the ground and "point". Rikku's brother then pressed a button on the gun. A electric current went through the wire connected to the point and shocked the beast.

Rikku then dashed forward and scarred the side of the beast with her claw.

"RRRRRAARARRRRRARRRARARARARRRR!!!!!!!!!!" Shouted the beast. It leapt towards Rikku when the figure jumped behind from her and grabbed her. The figure got her to safety from the beast then shouted:

"I summon the powers of the four main elementals!" The figure (who was wearing a cloak, this is why I can't tell you yet exactly what it was) pulled out a staff with a crystal point at the top of it, the figure tossed it into the air and it froze in flight.

It then spurt flames around it, then it was being shocked by an unseen force, then it froze, then melted into water. Finally it fell to the ground.

Rikku, Rikku's brother, and the beast looked at it. Then suddenly, a great presence fell about them all. Then suddenly a thousands upon thousands of huge bolts of lighting fell from the sky and struck the beast, then, huge waves of water fell over the beast, then a gust of wind suddenly froze them in spot, the a crack appeared in the ground and out spurted fire upon the beast.

The beast moaned and fell over, blood all over it, and disappeared. It was killed. The staff flew over to the figure's side and the figure grabbed it.

The figure walked over to Rikku, and Rikku walked over to the figure.

"Who- are you?" asked Rikku. The figure pulled back it's hood. The figure was a young male about the age of Rikku. He had brown hair, and was just barely taller than Rikku.

He walked over to her closer until he was just next to her. Then he muttered in her ear.

"I'll see you in Spira…" Then without warning, the figure disappeared. Rikku then fell over extremely tired because of the battle and for another reason, that person she had just met.

Rikku's brother dashed over to her and caught her before she hit the ground. She opened her eyes for a moment and spoke…

"Spira…"
