"That was the begining of the terrible days to follow." Auron said sadly. He felt so horruble, almost ready to throw-up. His body didn't want to remember, then again, he was dead. How could he be sick? He shrugged the feeling off.
"When we reached Guadosalam, it was a disaster. Sin had destoried everything, the few buildings that stood were filled with the wounded and dead. Up until then, I had never seen anything reek of death as much as the home of the Guado.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The three of us walked through the forest into Guadosalam, slightly hoping for a nice bed to rest on. Fiends had just about mauled us after the fight with the Sin spawn.
" In the name of Spira..."Braska gasped as he looked at the demolished town. _______ Guado came up to us with a small look of relief on his face.
"Praise be to Yevon that you have arrived my Lord summoner," he stated doing Yevon's prayer, "There are so many that need to be sent. Usually summoners don't even come here. I was afriad our loved ones would become fiends. Braska nodded solomnly.He began to lead us to the main estate.
"However, I should be greatful. Sin could have done more damage if that other summoner hadn't been here. She didn't do much, but her guardians fought off Sin with the greatest of powers.I have never seen such abilites, not with any Guado or humans anyway...It's a shame that one of them was serverely poisoned bySin's toxins." Fear struck my heart.
"Why didn't the other summoner preform the sending?" Jecht asked not paying too much attention.
"She refused. Saying it took to much time off her pligrimige. I don't believe she likes the Guado much. She even left her wounded guardian here... she didn't seem to like that one too much either," he shook his head.
"How could she do that? One of her guardians?" Braska said appalled.
"Guess she didn't want to deal with her. Even after I pleaded with her to bring that poor girl to the next temple, but she didn't seem to care. I'm afraid we can't do anytihng for ehr here. Only the temples have the antidote, It's to bad, the other guardians seemed very close."
"Where's the girl?" I asked worried.
"In the back room on the left." ________ Guado said, "Why do you know her?" I looked fantically at Braska to let me go. He sady smiled and nodded. I moved away as Jecht was answering the Lord's question.
As I got to the room I slowed and opened the door quietly as possible. I held my breath as I entered afraid of what I would find.
A girl layed on a spare bed, her chest moving slowly as she slpet. My heart ached as I watched her sleep. How did she do this to me? I was sensible and logical, yet I stood now in the doorway in love. I haf only met her twice. I moved next to Alya's side and knelt down.
The guardian stirred slightly as I wiped sweat from her forehead. A fatigued look covered her face as she opened her eyes. They glowed as they reconized me.
"Auron..."she said in a hoarse voice, "What are doing here?" I had to smile at the sound of her voice.
"We fought some sin spawn as Sin was coming here. Braska followed to help with any sending." I whispered to her, " The Guado are praising you and your brothers, they say you saved the town fighting Sin all by yourselves." She laughed slightly.
"Not well enough I guess," she said indicating all the other in the room, "so many Guado died, I wish Lerana used her aeons.." she started coughing, "It's nice to see someone I know again. I've had strange Guado taking care of me. Heh, I don't care that much though, without them I wouldn't have stayed alive this long."
Not for much longer.. I thought but the look on her face told me she already knew. I just wished I could do something to save her. She was dieing before my eyes, and I was going to just leave her...
"You have a lot of ghosts in your eyes, ya know?" she said suddenly.
"What?"
"Ghost. If you look closely into someone's eyes, you can see all the demon nd horrors that have been in a person's life. That's what they mean when people say, 'the eyes never lie' or 'they're the pathway to the soul' if you know how to look, you can see all the pain in there. It's just a dead part." I had no idea what Alya meant by what she was saying, or maybe she didn't mean anything. She just wanted to tell me. She yawned.
"Auron, I'm sorry. I'm just so tired, do you mind if I fall asleep on you?" I laughed.
"No, no of course not! You need your sleep. It'll help you recover." She smiled at me, then closed her eyes. Within minutes the guardian was in a deep sleep. A throat cleared behind me. Lord Braska and Jecht stood in the doorway.
"Have you made a decision yet?" Braska asked politely. I looked at him, confused.
"What decision, my Lord?
"Well, Jecht and I have voted on taking Lady Alya with us to Macalina temple. So far I have two yes'es. But the vote has to be unianimous, so you have to be the finishing vote." My heart leaping.
" So what do you say stiffy? Yea or nay?" Jecht asked smiling at my joy.
"Yes! Braska, you don't mind?" He shook his head.
"I would never forgive myself if she died here."
"Yeah, that and Saydr would us as well." Jecht said laughing. Emotion swept over me. I was happy, but I kept my senses. The next obstacle we had to cross was the Thunder Plains. Dodging the lighting and the fiends was hard enough without someone to carry along.
Jecht walked over to the sleeping guardian and knelt down. She woke up as he took her hand.
"My lady Alya, Lord Braska would you like to accompany us to the Macalina temple. So we can get a cure for you. Would you like to come?" I smiled as her eyes lit up. She was near tears. Jecht smiled sweetly at her, "good. Rest up, we will leave in the morning."
I looked to Braska, he would defeat Sin, his heart was to pure not to.
