Chapter 2
"Sin's been dead for three and a half hundred years."
"Vilg." I muttered.
"Come on," She chuckled "We'll go to my place and you can get changed. You could have a rest too, if you wanted."
"Sure." I said half-heartedly. I knew that I could never go back home now. "OWW! SHIT!" I yelled as the stub of the cigarette burned my fingers. Willow looked at me.
"Fryd?"
"Nothing." We walked on, all the way to Besaid village. It was much different to what I expected. Buildings had replaced the old huts. Small and round, making them look futuristic. Will dragged me through the crowds and into a building down next to the old sanctuary which I had first seen Yuna in during the game.
"This is my house, Met." She said, turning round, causing me to collide with her. We went inside and walked into a kind of hallway. On the right was a kitchen, and on the left was a living room like space. Directly in front of me there was a circular lift like… have you ever watched star trek? Like that, but smaller. We got in and squeezed together (it really was a small space.) and suddenly started to descend, and then it moved along sideways. This came as a shock, as I was used to going up and down in an elevator, not to the sides.
We came to an abrupt stop after a short while and the doors opened. I stepped out into a blue glow, that wasn't as bright as the elevator, but still light enough to make out the walls of the room. I stared in disbelief. The ceiling was glass and looked up into the middle of the ocean. The walls were made of rock, but the thing that struck me most was that it was massive! It was so big that I could have fit my reasonably big room into it two or three times! On the walls were drawings that willow had obviously done herself. I looked closely and realised that I recognised most of the pictures.
"Aeons?" I whispered to myself.
"Yep. All the ones I can summon myself"
I looked around, naming them as I saw them.
"Titan. Ramuh. Ifrit. Leviathan. Bahamut. Quezacotl. Shiva. Siren. Diablos. The Knights of the round. Carbuncle. Pandamona. Phoenix. The minotaur brothers. Cerberus. Alexander. Doomtrain. Cactuar. Tonberry. Neo-Bahamut. Bahamut Zero. Choco-mog. Fenrir. Phantom. Valefor. Catoblepas. Jesus Christ! There's Got to be well over a hundred different summons here!"
"Only 76 registered, but yeah, around 125."
"What do you mean 76 registered?" I asked turning round to her, before quickly facing the wall again. She was getting dressed.
"Well, as people discover new summons, they have to register them in Luca now, in case there is a problem and sin is reborn or fiends start to appear again." There was a brief pause. "You want something to wear? I could go get you something from the shops, or…" Another pause. She started moving around in a cupboard and pulled out some more clothes. I turned round again and walked over to help her. "Here we go!" she yelled, pulling out some clothes. "Here." She said, giving them to me before walking over to a full body length mirror, admiring her reflection in the clothes she had on and then turning to me. "Well?"
"Uh… Well what?"
"What do you think? Practical?"
"Uh, yeah, I suppose."
"I don't know, it's a bit too baggy for my liking." She commented before briskly pulling off her top. I spun round. "What's wrong?"
"I don't mean to be rude, but I can see your breasts when you do that."
"So? Don't you like them"
I was gob-smacked. "Well, yes, but… Um, doesn't it make you uncomfortable that I can see them?"
"No. Why would it?"
"Well, where I come from, people don't just strip off in front of other people."
"Where do you come from?"
I come from New York, a place that doesn't exist in your world
"Nowhere realy, just Think of a name! THINK!!! Zanarkand."
Great going. Maybe you could tell her you one beat omega weapon, too.
"But, hardly anyone lives up there, people have always been too scared of the place, because of the pyreflies bringing up images of the dead."
"It's not so bad when you get used to it." I bluffed. "Ummm… hey, do you have somewhere that I could get changed into these?"
"Just get changed there." She nodded to where I was standing, so I did. I stripped off and was about to climb into these new clothesw when I suddenly thought about something.
"Do you have a shower I could use first?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, sure, just push that button over there." She pointed to a blank part of the wall. I walked over, naked and pushed the button. The wall opened up and revealed a white shower room. There was a massive sprinkler in the roof, tiled walls and a textured tiled floor with a drainage grate in the centre. Just on the wall before you entered, but behind the opening part of the wall was a rail with towels on it.
"You going in, or do I have to stand here all week?"
I spun round, backing into the shower room. Willow was standing there in all her naked glory. She turned the water on as she entered, and started to wash herself. I followed suit. I noticed that there was some kind of soapy substance in the water falling around us. I marvelled at the technology that was surrounding me. Next thing I knew, willow was walking over to me. I had obviously become aroused by her, but without realising. She came over to me, looked at 'it' and then back up at me. Without a word, we both leant forwards a bit and our lips met.
"Sin's been dead for three and a half hundred years."
"Vilg." I muttered.
"Come on," She chuckled "We'll go to my place and you can get changed. You could have a rest too, if you wanted."
