(A/N: Sorry, that was a crappy place to leave off, wasn't it? Sorry, I was
kinda busy.I'll try and make this chapter better, okay?)
"Wow!" Wakka cries. "So you, like, owe her your life! What luck meeting here,
ya? Praise be to Yevon." He faces me and does the prayer. I just stand there. After all, I
am an Al Bhed. I didn't pray to Yevon, probably never would. "So, uh, Rikku," Wakka
says, turning to me. "You look a little beat up! You okay?"
"Uh, Wakka." says the woman in black, who I assume is Lulu.
"Yeah? What is it?" Wakka asks, in his islander accent.
"There's something we need to discuss." says Yuna, running her fingers through
her short brown locks.
"Oh. Well, go ahead." Wakka shrugs. I hesitate.
"Girls only, boys please wait over there!" I say. Taking Yuna and Lulu aside, I
explain to them how Yuna and I were cousins, my father was her mother's brother, and
that although I was an Al Bhed, I wanted to be a guardian to Yuna. Neither Yuna nor
Lulu seem to have a problem with that. I smile. Lulu advises Yuna to ask Auron, who I
assume is the man in the red samurai robe and carries the big sword.
"Sir Auron." Yuna says timidly. "I would like Rikku to be my guardian." Auron
looks at me.
"Come here." he says solemnly. I nervously walk over to him, keeping my head
down. "Show me your face. Look at me." Auron says. I know what's going on.he is
trying to see if I am an Al Bhed or not. I raise my head slowly, closing my eyes. "Open
your eyes." he says sternly. Feeling defeated, I open my eyes. I know he sees the swirl in
my left pupil-the mark of an Al Bhed. Auron laughs his quiet laugh. "As I thought." he
smirks.
"Um.no good?" I say disappointedly. I see Auron looking down at me.
"Are you certain?" he asks.
"A hundred percent!" I say, my eyes shining. "So, anyway.can I?"
"If Yuna wishes it."
"Yes, I do." says Yuna.
"Rikku's a.good girl! She helped me a bunch!" Tidus says, sticking up for me.
"Well, I'm for it! The more the merrier!" Wakka supports.
"Right on!" I cheer. "Then I'll just have to be the merriest! Rikku, at your
service!"
My new friends and I travel on to Guadosalam, the city of the Guado.
"We've been expecting you, Lady Yuna. Welcome to Guadosalam. This way,
please." says a Guado near the entrance of the city. Wakka holds out his hands.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" he says. Apparently he thinks that no one will take Yuna
ANYWHERE without introducing themselves.
"Oh, I beg your pardon." says the Guado. "I am called Tromell Guado. I am in the
direct services of our leader, the great Seymour Guado. Lord Seymour has very important
business with Lady Yuna."
"Business.with me? Whatever could it be, I wonder?" wonders Yuna.
"Please, come inside the manor. All will be explained. Of course, your friends are
also welcome." explains Tromell. Tromell proceeds further into the city, with the seven
of us following closely.
"Twist our arms, why don't ya?" I ask, slightly giggling. Tromell leads us to the
manor where Seymour lived.
"This way, please." he requests. We entered the banquet room, when he says that
he would get Lord Seymour, and for us to wait here.
"There's no temple here in Guadosalam, see?" Lulu explains. "Summoners just
usually pass on their way elsewhere."
"I have a feeling he called us up here for more than just dinner." Wakka says,
looking a bit gloomy. I make my way to the middle of the room, where there is a dish of
assorted fruits in it. I pick one up, and start eating.
"Mm! This is good!" I say, between chewing. After that, Tromell appears.
"Truly, it is good to have guests again. Since Lord Jyscal passed away, these halls
have been too quiet."
"The death of Lord Jyscal was a great loss for all Spira." Yuna says politely, doing the prayer.
"Was this Lord Jyscal really such a great guy?" Tidus asks Wakka.
"He brought the teachings of Yevon to the Guado. He was truly a great man."
Wakka explains.
"Truly, a loss for us all." Tromell says sadly. "But now a new leader, Lord
Seymour, has come before us. Lord Seymour is the child of a Guado and a human. He
will be the tie that binds our two races together. But that is not all, I think. Lord
Seymour.he will surely be the shining star that will light the way for all people of
Spira!"
"Tromell, that is enough. Must I always endure such praise?" interrupts a voice
which can only be one person. Seymour Guado, one of the four Maesters of Yevon.
(A/N: I hope that was better! R&R please!)
