Chapter Six : Spirit Severed
Days had passed since the trio had fought at Moonflow. Neither of the three had spoken a word about it after they dragged the many bodies back to Djose, some of them were able to recover while others died. All of them mourned over the dead bodies, resenting that those people had died in such a torturous way just to get out some information. After sending the souls of the dead to the proper place, the trio left for Guadosalam, having to go around the Moonflow.
"I'm from Macalania, I grew up at the temple where my father was a monk and my mother well she." Lela hesitated to continue to talk her head was lowering looking down towards the ground, "she died." She continued, "I anted to become a monk at the temple located in Besaid, but I was rejected saying I was not one with Yevon since I believed in violence and some machina. I realized after witnessing my own mothers' death, it is not us human's who should fight each other, but we should focus on Sin so I joined the crusaders. I do everything I can to defeat Sin, but I'm not a summoner I don't have the talent." Staring at her own shoes she continued to walk not listening to the responses of Hatsue and Ryun.
Hatsue saw the sorrow in Lela's eyes as she had mentioned her mother. When Hatsue thinks of her mother she gets depressed sometimes, but usually her blood boils out of being mad remembering all the actions her mother had preformed. "I know how you feel. I lost both of my parents." Placing her hand on Lela's shoulder, she did not feel so alone anymore, "The next place we go to is Guadosalam, do you know anything about it?" Hatsue never left Luca after she moved there; she has yet to experience all the different cultures in Spira.
"I've heard some rumors about it," Ryun cut into the conversation, "they strongly believe in Yevon. Rather, the residents strongly believe in Yevon. Since it has the Farplane where all dead spirits go, it is a neutral place. No one wants for the Farplane to be destroyed, everyone goes there to visit their dead relatives or friends, even those who are against the religion."
'The Farplane, I can finally speak to my parents once more.' Hatsue thought to herself as she began to realize that every soul of a dead person would be there unless they resented those of the living and became a fiend. If that was true then her parents would be there, she could finally seek the guidance that she needed along with the little push that would keep her going. Seeing all of this Destruction and fear in people's eyes she couldn't bare it. It seemed so difficult for one person, especially herself, who hasn't ever done anything major like this before, to defeat the one being that is killing thousands a day, and survive humanity killing itself. She was not even sure if she could even make it to Zanarkand where she would acquire the Final Aeon without being killed or gave up.
'I have endured so much already, just to get one Aeon. I am fresh to the road, and my spirit has been broken and severed so many times. It just seems so hard to fight on. But I will try my best and I won't give up without a fight. It may just seem bad now, but it'll get better later.' Hatsue reassured herself, as her emotions swayed back and forth about continuing her pilgrimage. Always she had such mixed emotions about it, but adding all of that to the daily events she deals with, it just makes it harder.
"How far is Guadosalam, we don't have much daylight left." Hatsue mentioned as she snapped herself out of her deep trail of thought and looked ahead, as the sun seemed to be so low that someone could touch it. It glew a radiant orange as it fed all of Spira with light for a few more minutes until it would finally set and a dark veil of night would cover the sky.
"We should set up camp." Ryun said as he suddenly stopped once he heard Hatsue. The three began to set up camp, which meant finding somewhere to sleep and setting up their tents. It was the best that they had, and they had to find a spot, which was not that, obvious for the fiend or human eye to find since they were afraid they'd be attacked during the night.
After finding a remote spot in the woods they set up their tents and immediately went inside of them, as the chilly breezes began to tear through the air giving them all chills up their spines and the moon did a bad job of giving them all light.
'Hatsue has been acting different ever since we fought at Moonflow. much more distant and quiet. and mumbling to herself.' Ryun thought to himself inside of his tent, he rolled over onto his back staring up at the triangular ceiling, 'If only she wouldtell me what's wrong. Maybe I should ask. I need to develop this relationship more for my plan to work. Her kind must be defeated. All they are is a hassle.' He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
'Why did I even join these two? There was no reason for me to be with them. Well. Except for the fact that one of them is a summoner is our only hope for beating Sin. it just does not feel right. I just don't belong. Her and Ryun seem to have some connection I don't have and they say they have only known each other for a few days.' Lela thought to her as her eyes were shut trying to fall asleep, but the only thing she could think of was all the bodies of the crusaders being tied up. 'Oh well, once we reach the next city I'll decide if I want to stay.'
Hours had passed and it had become the night's darkest hour. The light the moon provided couldn't pass through the thick trees that consisted in the forests. It was completely pitch black; people and fiends could only see a few inches in front of themselves. It was not a good time to travel.
Hatsue suddenly woke up as she heard something tearing away at her tent, it then completely opened, she took her staff and extended it forward at the human's neck not realizing who he is, "Who are you and what are you trying to do." She held the end of her staff to the person's neck like it was some sort of knife.
"Summoner, I am one of the Chocobo Knights. I'm a friend of Lela's." He said backing away from the cranky summoner. Hatsue crawled out of her tent to see that there were three of these knights and her friends were awake.
"It is dangerous to be here at night. We are going to Guadosalam, we offer you a ride." Hatsue only nodded as the three hopped on the chocobo's after getting all of their stuff back so they could go to Guadosalam
