been some fun. I suggest you check it out sometime if you enjoy this fic.
Chapter 7
Stolen Fayth
When I woke up my body still felt tired from that gruelling battle against Defender X. My muscles ached and I felt so tired. Then I saw Yuna's benign face smiling at me as my tired eyes opened. My swirled eyes met her gaze.
"Sir Shinn, are you alright?" she asked concerned.
"I've felt better. Just exhausted from that battle. How about you? I should have been guarding you." I said feeling sorry for myself.
"I am okay. My other guardians were there and we managed to evade Bevelle. We must still go onwards." she told me. Then Rikku bounced up to us to ask me stuff.
"Shinn, are you okay? I thought you died after we seperated." she said looking very concerned, more so than Yuna was.
"I'm fine Rikku. I'm glad we're all together again." I responded.
"We still got a little more ways to go ta get to Zanarkand, ya?" Wakka told us. After he finished his sentence I heard a voice in my head.
"Child. If you seek my powers I await your arrival at the cave in the gulch." it told me.
"Was that an aeon?" I asked myself.
"What did you say?" Rikku asked.
"Is there a cave down there?" I asked pointing below the bridge nearby.
"Yes. And a fayth is there as well." Lulu told me. Everyone looked shocked.
"You know your way around, ya?" Wakka told her.
"Why is there a fayth here?" Yuna asked aloud as we stood in front of the cave, purple smoke breathed from it.
"My guess is somebody must have hidden it so the summoner can't reach it." Tidus thought loudly.
"Then the summoner won't die." Rikku said with loy.
"I'm going inside." Yuna told everyone. Kimarhi was first to enter. I followed close to Lulu. I haven't talked to her at all.
"Is there a reason you are around me?" she immeadiately asked with a sharp tone.
"How did you know about here?" I asked ignoring her question.
"The first summoner I guarded.........died here." she told me looking away.
"Sorry." I told her.
"Don't be. I was too young."
"But that thought scares me." I told her.
"The thought of what?"
"That Yuna may die because of me. If I guard her well she beats Sin and dies in the process. If I fail her then she just dies. It's a hard thing to realize." I informed her.
"It is a difficult thing, but just feel safe knowing Yuna will defeat Sin and bring the Calm." Lulu said.
"That isn't reassuring. The Calm should last forever, not just until Sin reappears. Seems like a waste to me." I explained.
"It's something grown-ups understand better. Give it a few years." she told me.
"But I believe there is a way to kill Sin forever. Everything has a weakness regardless of if it's immortal or eternal or anything." I shared. There had to be a way.
"I don't know if I should tell you this but Rikku is always saying how nice it is to have another Al Bhed travelling with her." Lulu informed me.
"Well I sure don't feel very Al Bhed. Sure I'm Al Bhed and stuff but I just don't know how an Al Bhed is supposed to act like." I explained.
"Well I'm sure Rikku would help jog your memory. You're just like Tidus when he first showed up." she said trailing off.
We continued to march through this cavern and met this strange looking woman at the end of it.
"Lady Ginnem! Is that you?" Lulu asked this spectre of a woman. The woman's response was silence.
Yuna attempted to send her but that failed as Lady Ginnem did something to prevent the Sending.
"Fine, I shall perform my last service as your Guardian." Lulu said drawing her doll as we all ran ahead towards her. Then a series of cherry blossoms flew before us. A large tree appeared and a warrior in a kabuki costume emerged from behind it with a similar looking dog at his feet.
I could hear it talking and thinking again. This must be an aeon.
"Who are you?" I thought to it. Perhaps it could hear me think as well.
"Only a select few have called me my name, Yojimbo." it answered into my thoughts.
"Why are you attacking us? We mean no harm to you." I asked.
"The summoner has instructed me to attack you. I cannot disobey my master's commands." he explained.
"Then we'll have to defeat you!" I shouted drawing my weapons and firing at Yojimbo. All twenty bullets hit the mark.
My ability to speak to aeons was still a mystery to me. How did I get this ability?
We continued to fight onwards as Yuna summoned a few aeons of her own to defend us. Eventually Yojimbo was dismissed away. Lady Ginnem was sent and she dropped a sphere.
"What's this sphere?" Rikku questioned walking over to pic it up.
"I wonder what's on it." Yuna wondered.
"Play it." I told my Al Bhed friend.
--------------------------------------
Like the one I found outside Home this one had only sound and just a black image.
"Wow this kid sure is beat up!" we heard a person say.
"I hope he's ok." a female voice said.
We heard them lift the person in question up and carry him somewhere.
"Hey Katia, why are you carrying that sphere around?" the male person asked.
"I found on our Al Bhed friend and maybe it contains clues but I decided to just record with it." she answered.
"He's in bad shape. Seems like he has little chance." the guy said.
"Derek, don't say that!" she said smacking him "I'll just use that Cure spell I learned not to long ago."
We heard some kind of relaxing noise from the Cure spell. Then heard a new voice groan.
"Hey kid you okay?" Derek asked.
"Ugh.........who are you?" he said.
We all gasped at the new voice. It belonged to me! The kid on the sphere's playing was me!
"Wow you must be half dead. You should lie down." Katia told me.
"Where am I?" I asked
"Luca, at Derek's house. Where did you come from?" Katia asked me.
"Where's Luca? I've never heard of Luca at all." I answered.
"Maybe he hit his head or something. Or maybe he it's Sin's Toxin." Derek suggested.
"What's Sin?" I asked confused.
"Don't worry we'll try to set you right again." Katia said to me as the sphere powered down.
--------------------------------------
"That was.........me?" I asked nobody.
"Sounds like it, ya?" Wakka said as Rikku placed the sphere in her pocket.
"Shinn." She said walking real close to me.
We just stared for awhile then Auron broke the silence. "Yuna, the fayth."
"That's right." she said stepping on this platform as Tidus and her were sent further into the cave. I heard Yojimbo's voice once again. He was asking 300,000 gil in exchange for his services.
"300,000? Is that really needed?" I asked him from where I stood. My thoughts reached him in the cave.
"Well with a Guardian who can speak to aeons perhaps I'll lower it a little." he said thinking.
Now he asked Yuna for 200,000 gil instead. We barely had enough money for that, we were left with only 45 gil.
"We'll go search for treasures in the cave further, you two guard this area." Auron told Rikku and I.
"Shinn, I don't know what to say." Rikku said getting a sad look on her face.
"Don't be sad Rikku. It must be about how I managed to find my way into Spira. It wouldn't hurt to find more of these spheres." I suggested.
"But I'm just scared about what would happen if we found all of them. You might disappear." she said turning away from me.
"What's wrong with you today? You sound so sad all of a sudden. Not like you at all." I said putting one hand on her right shoulder.
"It's just.........I don't want to say it. Guardians shouldn't feel like this." she told me. Feel like what? Fear of them leaving?
Then everyone returned and we all prepared to leave the cavern. We made it to Mount Gagazet and a series of Ronso blocked our path.
"Can't we just for once have a break during our pilgrimage?" Tidus complained.
Did you like this one? I hope it's to your liking, I felt like revealing more about Shinn. Well just hit that shiny review button.
