Rikku's Tale

Chapter Three
After a while of walking and carrying Rikku, her brother got her home. Cid looked startled to see his daughter in such a condition. They got her into her bed and stepped out of the room making care to not shut the door to loudly, she needed rest.
"Fryd rybbahat?" asked Cid. Which in Al Bhed means "What happened?". So Rikku's brother explained to his father the whole story, including the scene with the figure.
"Hmmmm......." Cid wondered in deep thought. Just when Rikku stepped out of her room.
"What happened?" She asked in amazement. She looked around, "Why am I here?"
"You fainted in the cave, when the young man whispered in your ear. By the way, what did he say?" Said Rikku's brother.
"He said he'll see me in Spira." She then paused for a while. She stared at the ceiling wondering.
"I... I want to go to Spira..." She announced. Cid and her brother looked at her with surprise among their faces.
"W-What!?" Asked Cid as he looked at her in awe.
"What I saw that the guy did was amazing! He had such power when he destroyed that beast. And... He saved my life by getting me away from that monster when it lept towards me! I need to talk to him... I want to go to Spira, it's not that far away." She said in response to Cid's curious face and response.
"Oh dear..." Said Cid as he started to walk into the kitchen. Rikku and her sibling followed him in.
"Yes. Alright. But, only if your brother goes with you." He said making both Rikku and her brother happy. Her brother always liked Spira, besides chatting it up with the local girls in the village he awfully loved the seashores there, as well as the markets.
"I'm fine with it." Said her brother.
"YES!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! YEAH!!!!!" Screamed Rikku as she hugged her relatives.
"Let's go!" She said aloud as she started running upstairs and grabbing some extra clothes, a picture of her family at a beach (actualy in Spira), and some other adventuring tools including a map.
She then ran downstairs, opened the refrigerater and grabbed some food and drink.
"Woah! Hold your shoopufs! Your brother has to pack too!" Said Cid stopping Rikku before leaving the door.
"Oh... Yeah..." She said as she stepped back. But was quickly then pushed aside by her brother who had his stuff ready and was out the door saying goodbye to his father.
"Bye!" She said cheerfully as she hugged Cid and left running to keep up with her sibling.
They both nearly ran the whole way to Besaid (the nearest village in Spira) they encountered very few monsters, all of which they took on very eagerly, and of course, beat. Rikku was just learning Watera when they won their last battle.
Finally, just when the stars and moon were coming out from the horizon they reached Besaid.
"Whew..." Said Rikku catching her breath, "We made it...". She turned to her brother who was looking down to the town square which was nearly empty now.
Rikku looked at him and laughed, "Ha ha ha ha... Don't worry I'm sure you can meet some lovely girl tommorow, first thing in the morning. No then, lets go to the Besaid Inn. They hardly have any visitors, it'll have open rooms. I can have one, and you have another. I'm NOT sharing a room with you, you snore to loudly! Ha ha ha ha ha!!" She laughed again as she started her way down the hill to the entrance of Besaid and towards the Besaid Inn.
They both entered and got two rooms, they both gave some gil (the unit of currency of Spira and the Al Bhed) to the inn owner and got settled.
That night Rikku had an odd dream. She dreamt she was alone in the middle of a forest when a voice said "Don't be afraid..." And then the monsters that began approaching her suddenly disappeared. And then the voice spoke again, "I'm here for you...". Then she didn't feel alone, she glanced over to the other side of her in the forest and saw the Figure. He was smiling at her.
She suddenly woke up. She got out of bed and dressed into her day wear, then headed outside.
There was the Figure! He was standing near the statue of a great ruler of Spira in the town square. She walked towards him.
"Hello Rikku..." Said the Figure, "I knew I would be seeing you here."
He took off his hood and smiled at her.
"Ummm... Who exactly are you?" asked Rikku.
"A member of Al Bhed. Son of one the region leaders in the area near the bottom of Spira. My name is Seth Magus." He put out his hand, "Nice to finally talk to you Rikku..." Rikku shook his hand and looked at him. She noticed something oddly familiar about him.
"I'm a friend of Yuna's..." Rikku gasped. Yuna was her cousin, a Spira/Al Bhed member. One of the very few that were, she was on the journey of becoming a summoner.
"Is... Ummm... What... What are you doing here?" asked Rikku.
"I am here because Yuna sent me, I'm one of her gaurdians... She and Kimarhi asked me to tell you to meet her on the Shoopuf near the moonflow... I will now leave... It was a wonderful to meet you, I will most likley see you when you are in danger... I'm your gaurdian under the orders of Yuna, Kimarhi, and my father, if that is ok with you..." He showed her Yuna's charm, it was a rose in the shape of a "Y", he then stood there looking at her.
She somehow felt safe, she only knew this guy for only two days, but Yuna gave him the orders, and she trusted Yuna.
"Yes, I am ok about it, thank you... Shall I start heading there tommorow?" She stated.
"Yes, Yuna needs you there, in exactly two years from this date. Goodbye..." He smiled at her and pulled out his staff and waved it, then dissappeared.
Rikku then looked at where he was standing and smiled, turned around and headed back to the Besaid Inn.
Her brother was standing near the entrance.
"Ahhh..... Your up late. Ha ha ha ha!" He said to Rikku. She looked at him.
"So?" She asked. She then thought what he was about to go on about.
"Ohhh... I don't know... A boy and a girl, on a saturday night in the townsquare, chatting it up near the statue... Sounds like a little romantic meeting to me." He said in response.
Rikku blushed. "No, he was just talking to me about the journey ahead, he was delivering a message from Yuna..." She then headed inside, "I'll tell you about it in the morning.
She thought about her brother's comments, nearly all night, maybe she did like Seth. She did think about him all night. And she thought about one more thing... He looked familiar...
