A Past Must Be Forgotten

Chapter I: Reflection

A past must be forgotten - that's what I kept telling to my self inside. My feelings must move on. I must concentrate on my mission to be a steadfast guardian, leading and protecting Yuna throughout the pilgrimage until the end, nothing more. I think the faster we move on to destroy Sin, the more contented I feel, despite of everything.

I would never choose to be a summoner myself, but if I was, I'd obliterate that hell-spawned monstrosity for good. I wouldn't really do it for the world, but for vengeance. Vengeance for my once beloved one. Sturdy warrior committed to stand and fight for the better, sacrificed in a battle where much blood was drawn and spilled over the land's field of poised innocence and pained disgrace.

A battle between the Sin and the sinners... He deserves the preeminent accolade.

I guess the most righteous never prevail. If we reach the end of our odyssey and fate smothers us in the way, would we depart in honor, or die in vain?

Suddenly, I feel like this path leads nowhere but more pain and bloodshed. This mystical journey is a battle we cannot win, but we'll sacrifice only for a moment's peace. I feel sorry for Yuna; she is willing to dedicate herself into summoning at such a young age to end it so ephemeral, yet her heart burns with revenge. She believes she can carry her father's will until the end; she swears he will not have died in vain. There is so much she still doesn't understand yet because she hasn't lived long enough.

"A time will come

When all will see

In the end - it's just a game

Time will tell when all these things

That have come to pass

Still remain"

I must wake up to reality. This is just a reflection about my past, present, and future - of what could be.

Author's Notes: Good enough for a start? Hopefully, I'll continue on this. BTW, this could turn out into a Auron/Lulu thing, but I'll give them time to develop their feelings for each other and blah-blah crap. And also to inform you piece of unimportant information, this is my first fic that has a deep romance theme (later in the story) with some crucial perspective thinking on a character mixed with influential epic drama. Anyway, I would like your opinion on the chapter -for a start- and tell me if it's good, shitty, great, or worthless. Just send a review, or I'll write a side story in this fic about how Auron and Jecht had a "special" relationship during Braska's pilgrimage complete with a lemon!
