Ellie sighed as she sat down on one of the broken planks that overlooked the water. She had survived. Why she couldn't be sure and she couldn't help but be slightly annoyed. Why hadn't Jecht killed her? He had destroyed her village and most of the people in it but had left her there to restore it once again. She knew it was irrational to be so angry but it leaked through her as she turned back around and began fixing one of the houses again. The calm had been for ten years and now it was back to destroy her life again. Hadn't it done enough to her? Sighing she paused to watch as the sending was taking place across the way.

The pyre flies lifting above into the sunset. She had seen it so often done by summoners and half of her wish she would be with them; the end of this life wouldn't be so bad. Sin had caused this entire problem in the first place. His stupid plans and deciding how to go through with it. No one had asked her how she felt. The night when he had come to her and told her he would be leaving. The thought as sin ripped apart her town and he truly did leave her.

It was unfair and it seemed she was the only one who believed it. Sighing she ignored the dance and continued to what she was doing. It finally ended a few minutes later but that didn't ease her mind. How she wished to leave this place. Sighing she fit the boards in place one after the other. Before she heard a delighted voice.

"Lady Ellie" the younger summoner's voice came. Ellie turned around to find the girl bowing to her in true Yevon fashion. Sighing Ellie smiled at the girl before her. This was Braska's daughter. She would be the one to defeat sin; well spira hoped anyway.

"No need to bow down Lady Yuna. I'm no longer a follower of Yevon and no longer a summoner" she said as the girl stood up straight and her companions joined her.

"No longer a follower of Yevon? You can't just turn your back on it ya know?" said one of her guardians. Ellie sighed and turned to him, as he stood there insulted in front of her. Though she was shorter she knew her presence was enough.

"I no longer follow Yevon and their teachings. I haven't for years and I haven't been sucked up by sin. Can you say that for Yevon followers? Maybe It is Yevon that is the sin that causes the destruction of so many lives." she gave the man a death glare, as he stood there shocked at her. Swiping her Blonde hair back she blinked a few times as her purple eyes glared at the man.

"Hey. Excuse Wakka. He's a heavy follower of Yevon you know" the blonde boy beside Lady Yuna said confidently. He made Ellie smile as she looked at him. She knew that face anywhere.

"But you aren't are you Tidus?" she asked her smile growing as he seemed unsure how to address her now.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" he asked with a nervous laugh and scratched the back of his neck. Ellie shook her head with a small laugh as the boy looked at her nervously.

"No, I knew your father well and I can tell a Blitzball player from a mile away" she said cocking her head to the side as she studied the young man before her. He was definitely Jecht's son and obviously part of this grand plan.

"You knew my father? When? he was here? Is he alive?" so many more questions came rolling from his tongue before Ellie could answer any of them. Just as she was about to answer the mage suddenly decided to speak firmly making Ellie rise her eyebrow at the woman.

"How could that be? You are only a few years older then Yuna herself?" the woman's voice was so sure and accusing as Ellie leaned against the half built building as she studied this group of strangers.

"I, like Sin continue in a cycle. After I die I am brought back to live life once again. Though not always for the better I must admit. Doomed to live a life in Spira until Sin is destroyed for good." Ellie sighed as she watched the group take in this information. Not many people believed her but those who were there to see her death and her birth were true believers of the uselessness that was her life. Ellie didn't understand it herself to say the truth. Feeling older then you are was never a joyful occasion.

"A person born under Yevon and a former summoner, yet you don't follow it?" the red haired man asked her with a glare and she returned it once again with a grin.

"I've learnt many life times ago that yevon is not the answer to the way of life and holds no power over me. Though some still follow Yevon mindlessly until death takes them are free to do so. Now if you excuse me I need to rebuild this town once again because I'm sure Yevon wont" Bowing quickly to Lady Yuna and her Guardians Ellie turned and continued to build as they walked off.

"erm…Ma'am?" Tidus' voice rang through Ellie's thoughts making her turn swiftly to see him still standing there awkwardly. Smiling She climbed back down and smiled at him with the kindest smile possible.

"Please call me Ellie. Ma'am and my lady make me feel too old for my likening" she said prompting him to sit on the dock as she took a seat herself.

"…Ellie. You really knew my old man?" he asked as he joined her on one of the planks. Nodding her head Ellie stretched and yawned as the sun set lower in the sky reminding her she could sleep soon.

"Yes. But I don't think its best to discuss him at this time. Though I have a question for you" she hesitated; looking at him for conformation before continuing. "Before you came here. Were you with a man by the name of Auron?" Ellie asked quickly glancing at the boy again before turning her attention back to the almost set sun.

"You know Auron too? Yes he came with me, I think. I'm not too sure. I ended up in a small village with that crew" Tidus hesitated before he spread his legs out on the dock before them. Ellie smiled to herself but ignored all thoughts, as the sun was nearly set. Clearing her throat she answered him quietly.

"Tidus. Like the Sun, the moon and even sin. People too live in a cycle. Here in Spira's Cycle revolves around death. With blindness and with ignorance, but death nonetheless. I knew him once and like the Sun only sees the moon as it falls I fall with the Sunset as he rises with the moon-' stopping herself she quickly laughed to herself and tapped herself on the forehead with her palm. "I'm sorry. But that's the best answer I can give you for now. If you see him, Could you…tell him I'm here?" she looked nervously at Tidus as he nodded and stood up.

"I guess I get what your saying. And I'll tell him if I ever find him. I should get going." With that Ellie bowed to him quickly and with a wave he was off in the direction of his party. Turning around she looked at the moon with a smile.

"Your son is handsome Jecht" she whispered to the sky before she walked down the long path to the inn to sleep. She could've sworn she heard a chuckle inside her head.
