"Hi there!" - talking
*Ugh, why?* - thinking
"Dude, what the hell?" - speaking Al Bhed (except in dream sequences)
By the way, it would be really good if i had some reviews! I hope I'm not asking for too much, since I barely have any reviews! Thank you! ^^
My POV:
Once we made it up the steps, I ran to the save sphere and everyone felt rejuvenated. We started to walk along the Mi'ihen Highroad. We then came across Maechen, that scholar guy. I mentally groaned, I really didn't like this guy. He talked way too much, but he was very informative. Once the stuff with Maechen was done, we encountered Lucil, Elma, and Clasko with their chocobos.
"Lady summoner, I presume." Lucil says.
"Yes, I am Yuna."
"I am Lucil, captain of the Djose Chocobo Knights."
"And I'm Elma. We've been charged to guard the Highroad."
"There have been reports of a large fiend appearing in this area, with a taste for take care, Summoner Yuna, if you are to rent any chocobos." Lucil informed us all.
"Thank you. We will be careful." Yuna said. Before they could go, I did the prayer.
"You be careful as well!" I waved and smiled. They smiled at me and nodded, then ran away with their chocobos.
"A large fiend…..let's go get him!" Tidus exclaimed.
"Why?" Auron asked.
"It's the right thing to do!" I face-palmed. Oh Tidus…oh gosh….
"It's the right thing to do?" Auron chuckled.
"What'd I say now?"
"Jecht said that a lot, too. And every time he said it, it meant trouble for Braska and me." Auron replied. We continued on our journey and we then encountered a small girl and her mom. After that, Tidus asked what was the Calm, and then explained it to Tidus and me. I still knew what it was anyways. We also encountered a few monsters, but nothing major. We then came up to Luzzu and Gatta, then talked to them for a bit. We continued the pilgrimage, and my feet were starting to give way. I then collapsed on the ground with a thud and a groan. Everyone heard me fall, and they turned around to look at me. I shook my head. I smiled a weak smile. I couldn't I believe I was this weak.
"Yuna, you should really go on without me. I'll be fine here. I'm just holding you back. I'm weak." She shook her head.
"No, Carmina. You're my guardian, and I'm not going to leave you here. You are not weak, and don't you ever say you're holding me back. You're helping us out a lot! You're a very strong girl." Yuna turned to Tidus and asked him, "Do you think you can give her a piggyback?" Tidus nodded and smiled. He walked over to me and bent down with his back facing me. I looked at him.
"Are you sure, Ti?"
"Yeah 'course! Just get on!" I hesitantly got on his back and he piggybacked me the rest of the way. Kimahri held my backpack, but at first, I was hesitant to give it to him. Kimahri kind of looked scary, but I knew he was kind on the inside.
"Thank you." I whispered in Ti's ear. I just saw him smile and I held onto him tighter and buried my face into his neck. *He smells really good.* I thought with a smile. A while later, we saw Shelinda and a crusader were arguing.
"We'll defeat Sin any way we can!" the crusader shouted.
"But Yevon's teachings say.."
"Enough!" the guy walked away. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation, since I fell asleep on Tidus' back.
(enter dream sequence)
It was pitch black, and I was running nowhere. I kept running, but all I saw was black. Then, I saw pyreflies everywhere. I then saw my family, and one by one, they faded away. Same thing happened, except it was my friends that faded. I then saw the fayth boy.
"Hello Carmina." he said with a wave.
(exit dream sequence)
I woke up when we reached the Al Bhed Inn. Tidus let me off his back and I got my backpack back from Kimahri. *Weird dream.…* I thought.
"We rest here." Auron said. Of course, who was going to argue with him? Oh wait…Wakka…
"But, this is an Al Bhed shop!"
"Is that a problem?" I asked, instead of Auron. I was kind of pissed off at Wakka for being racist, but he did save my ass from Bickson.
"They don't believe in Yevon, and in Luca, they…they almost kidnapped Yuna!"
"Where were her guardians? And a 13 year old girl saved Yuna instead of them? " Auron asked. Lulu and Wakka placed their hands on their foreheads.
"Sir Auron's just concerned about your health." Yuna decided to say. *Hah….Auron? Worried? About health? PWUAHAHA AMAZING! AHAHAH* I thought in my head. I had actually chuckled a little, and Tidus stared at me like I was a lunatic.
"I'm not tired one bit!" Wakka exclaimed. *Yeah, and I am secretly a chocobo!* I thought with a smirk on my lips.
"Well I am." Auron replied. We went inside to rest. Once everyone woke up, the sun was about to set. I stayed inside by myself. I picked up a few Al Bhed primers along the way, so I decided to study them.
"Trying to learn Al Bhed?" Rin asked me. I looked up at him and tried out my skills.
"Yes, I am. My name is Carmina!"
"My name is Rin, and I am the owner of this Inn." We talked for a while, then he left me. I decided to look through my camera, and surprisingly, the batteries never ran out! I decided to take some pictures of the gang outside. I also took pictures of the chocobos! Everyone decided to head back to sleep, so I did too. Tidus and I woke up at the same time. I showered, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair, and did everything else. I got my backpack and weapon ready. I knew we had to fight the chocobo eater. Tidus and I ran into Rin, then we were called out by Auron. Rin also gave us two mega-potions. We went outside and started to fight the chocobo eater. We actually killed it, and we were offered a free ride on chocobos.
"CHOCOBO!" I shouted out hyperly. I always wanted to ride one! I tried to get on one, but because I was so short, I failed in doing that and landed on the ground on my butt. Yuna, Lulu, Wakka, and Tidus were all laughing at me. Wakka helped me get on, and we started to ride the chocobos. We arrived at the large gate. I went to the save sphere immediately. We saw Dona and Barthello.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm a summoner!" Dona exclaimed.
"Sorry ma'am! No exceptions!"
"You dare impede a summoner's pilgrimage?" The guy repeated what he had said earlier.
"Useless." Dona said with a sigh. We saw Gatta and Luzzu speaking to a crusader.
"Gatta and Luzzu reporting for duty, Sir!"
"This is the last of them."
"Good to have you with us. Go on through!" Gatta and Luzzu spoke to Tidus, then left. The crusader wouldn't let us pass through, so we just head back. Just then, we see Seymour and his assistants. Yuna and him did the prayer gestures to each other. "Great….." I muttered under my breath. Luckily, no one heard me.
"So, we meet again Lady Yuna."
"Y-yes?"
"You look troubled. Is there anything I can do?"
"Well….." We all look at the gate.
"I see." Seymour replied. He stepped forward, but not before glancing at me. I looked away.
"Maester Seymour. Let me show you to the command center." the crusader said.
"Hold on, I have a request."
"Yes, your Grace?"
"I need to have Summoner Yuna and her guardians let through to the command center."
"But, Maester Seymour, Sir."
"Do not worry. I will take full responsibility."
"Very well. They may pass." Seymour turns to us.
"It is done."
"Thank you, your Grace." Yuna bowed, and Seymour left. I glared at his back retreating. He makes me sick!
"Yuna, it's time to go." Lulu said.
"Oh! Right!" Yuna exclaimed.
"Who does he think he is?" Tidus said.
"He's a maester. Better get used to it, ya?" (3 guesses on who said that)
I walked up Tidus and grabbed him arm. "Don't worry Ti. I despise him, too. I really, really don't like him. Oh, and don't ask why. Trust me, you'll figure it out later."
"Feh….of course I will…By the way, did you see him glance at you?"
"Yeah…yeah I did…" We caught up with the others and passed the gate. I turned around first and stuck my tongue out at Dona. Then, I ran to catch up with Tidus.
