Chapter 3 :
Days have past since Hatsue and Ryun had begun the pilgrimage that started from the once Blitzball capital of the world, Luca. During these days walking on the lush fields, which were the road between the metropolis and the closest temple in Djose, the two became acquainted with one another. First Hatsue was unsure if she would let Ryun join her on her pilgrimage as she had no solid proof that she can even trust him. This was not an age where one should trust another one easily with his or her life, as the war is going on between the believers, and the non believers, you never know what is going to happen. After she found out certain traits in the teenager, she had a sense of trust within him.
The two stopped to take a break as they finished hiking up a mountain. They were now on the peak, where the Djose highroad would begin, which would lead them directly to the temple by taking one path, the other path would lead to Moonflow. The two were able to see the many fields they had crossed, and the ocean where many people would travel to get to the other side more easily than around the great sea. It was a beautiful sight, they saw the tops of many trees which the branches would extend out to its fullest extent, leaves drooping down from them, birds rested upon the pieces of wood chirping a song which delighted the people of Spira when they hear it, little specs of white, red, yellow, and an assortment of colors as close up they were flowers that had just bloomed. These lands seemed to be untouched by the war that is going on, probably the only spot, as there was nothing worthwhile in that path.
"The temple is not that much farther, just down this main stretch and we reach it. All I know that is dangerous about this path is some of its fiends, they can inflict metrification, turning one to stone." Hatsue warned as she looked down the dirt path.
"I heard the same. Always warned by the elders, if you commit a crime a fiend shall turn you to stone for your punishment. It scared a lot of the children as they tried to imagine being a statue, but some were smart enough to realize they were only gloating." Ryun responded, and laughed at the thought.
"Kids pretended they were statues?" Hatsue added in, hearing the same rumor from the adult figures.
The two began to walk through the highroad. Suddenly a creature jumped out in front of them ready to attack the humans, once a human itself envying the two for living. wanting to take the human's lives away, the lives that they did not deserve. It had an orange scale like body that protected its large form; there were tan scales underneath where it was more vulnerable. It had two large tentacles that stuck for several feet, claws at the end. It had a large red eye on its face, which it used for vision, but also to turn its victims into stone. It had two arms, and two legs that were quite short and stubby but it made the fiend able to move. At the end was a long tail that stuck up in the air ready to smash its opponent into bits, "Basilisk!" The two heroes' both stood in battle positions.
They had fought together to fight off some weaker fiends but nothing as intimidating as this. They were both struck with fear as they saw this creature wondering how they can defeat something so powerful, their strength had grown quite a bit since Luca but not hat much. It would take a lot of their power to fight off this one Basilisk. Hatsue did not have the power to Summon Aeon's yet, so they did not have any back up plan just in case they fought many fiends at once or had no power to fight anymore, and she only possessed white magic, which usually wasn't meant to physically hurt someone. The physical attacks that Hatsue preformed with her staff was not that effective, either. Ryun, on the other hand was much effective. He was quick as a cheetah being able to swing his blade in a blink of an eye. His slashes were powerful to, being able to slice many things in half in one slash. He was obviously trained.
"Power of light, show this fiend our might!" Hatsue cried out as she had her right foot in front of her left, her right arm extended out which held her long staff. A white aura began to surround her body as she summoned the magical powers that ran through her veins. Her staff glowed a mystical white as it glowed with power, energy being drained from the female and focused into the staff for an attack. An orb began to grow at the end of the staff. In a split second a beam of white light shot out, hitting the Basilisk in the eye, stunning it.
Ryun took this opportunity to his advantage. He leapt several feet into the air and began to slash away, one of the tentacles of the Basilisk being severely wounded, almost being split right off, but due to the orange tough hide of its exterior some of the attack was deflected. Blood began to rush out of the fiend like a waterfall. It went back in pain. Ryun leapt in the air again this time aiming for its head, but the Basilisk caught on too quickly and used its uninjured tentacle to knock the man away.
With a thump, the teenager landed on the ground, the dirt where he lay rised up due to the huge impact. Ryun rolled over onto his stomach where he screamed out in pain
"No!" Hatsue cried as she saw her ally hurt. She was about to launch another attack but she quickly tried to run towards Ryun.
The Basilisk realized the female was trying to run towards the male, and used its uninjured tentacle to smack her away, she flying off a few feet, but she was not as badly injured as the male.
"Ugh." Ryun was on all fours trying to get up, he breathed heavily trying to regain his strength; the wind was knocked out of him. He had several pains in his ribs area, he assumed some of them cracked due to the hit. The Basilisk's eye glowed red with gury. It gazed at the human and raised its two tentacles pointing at the human. A gray aura surrounded the boy as he felt a spell was being put upon him. He started to become immobile, unable to move his muscles to get up. A second later stone encased his once living body.
Many colors had surrounded the staff, which Hatsue still held with a sweaty grip. She was on her knees, trying to get up but she was in pain also she was trying to cast a spell that would free her only guardian, "Esuna!" She cried out. She remembered Esuna was the spell one used to cure all status alignments. A beam of rainbow energy shot into the stone statue, the stone instantly cracked, Ryun gasped for air as he would of suffocated being encased in stone. They both had looked at each other and nodded.
Ryun lunged his sword back then threw his arm forward, pelting his sword into the air right at the creature. Hatsue held out her staff towards the Basilisk, used her energy to shoot a beam of light. Both of the attacks had hit the Basilisk square on in the head. The Basilisk released a cry of pain as pyreflies began to escape from it, the fiend now being vanquished. The two were still fresh to the road and inexperienced when it came to fighting they were not use to fighting such powerful fiends. The sword that Ryan possessed fell onto the ground where the Basilisk once stood. The long blade shining as the sun reflected down upon it.
Managing to get up, Hatsue walked over to Ryun, who has his hands over his ribs squirming in pain, "Cure." She waved her staff, her frame glowing a mystical angelic white like she was an angel. Energy had entered into Ryun's body, restorying the areas of where he was wounded in battle.
'Good, she believes that she can trust me. No reason why should check why I'm okay and take me out of petrifaction as soon as I was turned into stone.' Ryun thought to himself as he got up.
After a few more minutes of walking they had made in front of the temple. They watched in awe as the temple had opened, as the doors only open to when a summoner passes to go to the temple of the Fayth. Outside of the temple stood a crowd of men, all armed and protecting the temple in the name of Yevon.
"Who are you, trying to get inside a holy place?" Said one of the men as he saw the two enter the premises. Hatsue had walked up to the crowd only being a few inches away from them all.
"I am Hatsue, daughter of the Lady Summoner, Aida." She said bowing, in a monotone voice showing no emotion in the name, unlike her usual tone of being serious and yet docile at the same time.
"The daughter. finally on a pilgrimage? You get my condolences." He responded bowing in return. The men moved away forming a path for her to walk, "You may enter."
Hatsue began to walk towards the temple, she was doing the thing she was exactly against doing from the beginning but now she has chosen her destiny. This was what she had to do. She was a bit scared not knowing what lay ahead of her, but she tried to keep her spirits high.
'Everything is going perfect. Soon enough she will be able to defeat Sin, with my help making sure that she survives and no one, not even those who are considered my friends and allies try to kill her. Once that occurs, my plan will almost be in effect. For me to get my way.' Ryun grinned at the thought, he walked behind Hatsue, going into the temple.
