*Hi, I'm back! I'm finally writing, after about a month. Here's Chapter 2! Oh, thanks a ton for the favorable reviews! I love you all (except my single flamer, I don't like him). I hope to have at least 25 reviews by the end of the story. I, in the month-long gap, have been doing homework and projects, and also trying very hard to get about 7 million Gil so that I can get 50 Wings to Discovery. Bribing those Malboros empties yer pockets very quickly. One last thing: Jessica won't be telling the crew much about why she knows about them, as they would most definitely freak. So, on with the story! *
Chapter 2: Decisions
***Kamereon's POV***
As Yuna was healing me, after I'd been wounded so badly, I began to really believe that I was here, facing these people- these legends. Sure, I'd imagined what it would be like to meet them, but here I was, actually talking to them- I almost couldn't believe it. Before this, there had been a nagging doubt in the back of my mind that I was hallucinating or something. Now, I was sure that this was real. Then I realized what Tidus had just asked me- how I knew their names.
I mentally slapped myself. How could I have been so careless? I couldn't tell them how I knew about their journey, and I'd just given away that I knew all their names! I thought quickly, and decided that I would have to dodge the question by being mysterious. I hate being like that. It doesn't fit my personality. Oh well.
"Believe me, Tidus," I said, looking around at the group, "I know a lot about you. All of you. For instance, I know that Auron, Braska's former guardian," at this I nodded at Yuna, "is standing outside the entrance, along with an Al Bhed girl named Rikku, and a Ronso with a broken horn named Kimahri. It's not like you guys are exactly unknown, you know."
"I suppose you're right. I should have expected that you would know about us." Tidus sighed. "Sometimes it's really hard, being known throughout Spira."
"I can imagine." I said. "So, let's get something straight here- I know a lot more about you than most, and what's going to happen on your journey. Don't ask me how- I can't tell you, because I don't understand all of it myself. You'll just have to trust me."
"Why?" Tidus looked at me. "Why should we trust you, if we just met you?"
"You shouldn't." I replied. "But think of it this way- if I'd wanted to hurt you, I could have done it right after Yuna healed me. I really do want to help you. Besides, I need your help."
"You need our help? You can turn into anything you want, you should be fine on your own, ya?" Wakka, who had previously been silent, now spoke up.
"You saw what happened when Tidus cut me," I said. "I'm not invincible, and I'm not capable of doing magic either."
"I see." Now Lulu spoke. "If you can't do magic, then some fiends would easily defeat you on your own. Why don't you stay in Guadosalam?"
"I wouldn't like being stuck in one place for too long. However, that's not the only reason I'd like to travel with you. I want to help you guys- I can make myself very useful. But it's your choice."
"I think Yuna should decide." Lulu said. Everyone, including me, looked at Yuna.
"I don't know," she said, shaking her head. "I have so many guardians already, and I don't think that I would trust you with my life."
"I wouldn't have to be a guardian, just a companion," I said. "Look, nobody would care, if I didn't take human form." Then I shifted into the form of a large dog. "See?" I said in a rough, but understandable, voice. "I can do whatever you think necessary." Then I shifted back to my human form.
"I… suppose," said Yuna, looking hard at me. "Yes… I think you can come with us."
"Are you sure?" Tidus asked.
"Yes." She said firmly.
"Thank you." I smiled. "Now, should we go, or do you want to stay a little longer?"
"I'm ready to leave here. I've made my decision. I'm not going to marry Seymour."
Tidus looked at her and smiled, although it was a little strained. "All right. Let's go, then."
Everyone except for Yuna and I headed for the exit. Yuna looked out across the Farplane. "What's it like out there?" She asked me softly.
"It's okay. I think I like Spira better, though." I looked at her. "Yuna… don't worry. There's a way you can defeat Sin and live… I'm sure of it. You won't be coming here to stay for a long time."
Yuna looked away. "I… don't know…" She turned to the exit. "Come on, or we'll leave without you."
She left. I took one last look at the Farplane, where I had been since I came here. I turned towards the exit, took a deep breath, and stepped out… into Spira.
I know it's not very long for a month, but it was a good place to stop. I am writing the next chapter now, so expect it within a day or two… I hope. C ya!
