Chapter 3. Home-and the Other Summoner.
They were walking through the desert when they came up to a sign that was written in Al Bhed. "What does it say, Moronda?" Emsa asked as she wiped away some sand off the sign to revel some more words.
"It sais 'Home over the hill.'" Moronda replied as she looked in the direction that an arrow was pointing. "That means Home is over that Hill, which I already knew."
"Oh. We should get going." Emsa replied. "You do have a place there, right?"
"Yah, I do. I have an apartment." Moronda said as she pulled a thermos out of her side pouch for a drink. "Shit, we're all out of water." Moronda said as she tilted the thermos upside down, shaking it to apply that it was empty.
"Here, give it to me." Emsa took the thermos and held it as she whispered "water." The thermos was now over flowing with cool, clear water. "Here, drink it."
Moronda drank the water. "So, where did you learn your black magic?"
"My mother taught it to me before she went on her pilgrimage. She wanted me to learn it so I could defend myself. She also taught me how to heal and bring some things back to life, incase I was injured or someone was near- death." Emsa said.
They crossed the hill when Emsa was shocked at the great city. It was almost as large as Bevelle, and it was lush with people and machina, kind of the city of Zanarkand, but on a much smaller scale. She could hardly believe that no one has discovered the great city.
"WOW!" Emsa said. "So, what exactly do people do here?"
"The same thing as everyone else. Hide your staff, people here don't take too well for people who believe in Yevon, especially you, being a summoner." Moronda said as she swayed at her staff.
"Yah, Your right. STAFF, DISMISS!" Emsa said as her arms formed an X while her staff floated in air. Her staff raised up and spun around once, landing horizontal on the imaginary base in the air. A purple orb formed in the middle of the staff and covered the whole thing. Then the staff disappeared, banishing into thin air.
They walked into the city, seeing people act freely, free from worries, free from Sin. They were walking into a cluster of very tall buildings when Moronda said "Over there, my apartment is over there."
"Does your father live with you?" Emsa asked. "No, he has his own chambers, underground. Why?" Moronda said.
"Oh, no reason..so, how big is your place?"
"Ok. I guess. Be quick when you are walking in, don't let anyone see the inside." Moronda said.
They walked up the twenty-three flights of stairs when they finally reached Moronda's apartment. Her apartment was luxurious, with air-conditioning, fine furniture, and bits and pieces of Yevon trinkets and posters of Faith and Prayer.
"Wow, look at this. You really like your Yevon.huh." Emsa said as she did the prayer of Yevon in front of a prayer poster. "How do you keep this a secret?"
"People never come in here, and when my father arrives, I hurry and take everything down or I tell him that I am doing research about summoners."
There was a pause as Emsa was looking around and Moronda was in the kitchen fixing them up some food for lunch when there was a knock at the door. Moronda went outside to see who it was when Emsa called her staff, preparing for anything.
"FRT.MOMA! EO'C OUI!" Moronda said to the man at the door while she hugged him.
"FA KUD YHUDRAN CILLUHAN!" Lyle (moma) said.
"UG. E'MM PA NEKRD DRENA." Moronda said as the man walked away. She then went back inside.
"Who was that?" Emsa said as she out her staff away.
"That was my cousin. They've captured a summoner from Macalania. Lets go. I will see him." Moronda said as she went back into the kitchen.
"What now? I am hungry." Emsa said as she rubbed her belly.
"No, not now, I just made us some lunch, like I will let this go to waste." Moronda said as she held up two plates of sandwiches and left over chicken from the previous night.
They were eating.well.hogging the food that Moronda provided when Emsa broke the silence.
"Do you have an Airship, or a travel sphere. I need to go back to Bevelle." Emsa said as she drank some grape wine to wash down the chunks of food in her esophagus.
"Yah, why?" Moronda said with a mouth full of food and bits of chicken falling back onto the plate.
" I have some books there that I need." Emsa said.
"What kind of books?" Moronda asked.
"Books of places, spells, and aeons."
"Aeons? Don't you know of all the aeons?" Moronda said as she looked at the summoner as if she didn't know as much.
"Yah, I know of the regulars.wait..wait, how many aeons do you think there are?"
"Lets see." 'there's Valefore.Ifrit.Ixion.Shiva.Bahamut.and Anima.' "Theres six aeons."
"No, there's twelve. I need that book to map out the hidden temples of Spira."
"How did you get such a book?" Moronda asked as she took a big bite off one of the sandwiches.
"One of my mother's guardians gave it to me after she defeated Sin and..." Emsa said hesitantly.
"What? Is it something that I said...Whats wrong, Emsa?" Moronda said.
"Nothing, so where is this summoner at?" Emsa said, quickly changing the subject.
"The summoner is in the Summoner's Sanctuary. That is where they put the summoners when they are caught." Moronda said.
"Whats that? You actually have a place for kidnapped summoners!?!" Emsa said. She was appaled at the thought of them keeping summoners and having a place for kidnapped summoners.
"Well, they don't think they are kidnapping them. You see, to them, they are saving the summoner from death." Moronda said.
"What do you mean.oh.I see. They stop them so they don't aquire the final aeon." Emsa said.
"Right, well, I'm finished, should we get going?" Moronda said as she bit the last of her sandwich, along with some of her finger. "OUCH!"
"Sure. I'm anxious to meet this other summoner. Where is this 'summoner sanctuary'" Emsa said.
"It's downstairs. Under ground."
They were walking down the twenty-three flights of stairs, and headed outside, towards a government building, that was owned by her father.
"So, what exactly does your father do? I mean, what is he?" Emsa asked.
"He is the head of the government of the Al Bhed and he is the founder of the X-Yevonites. He is kind of like the ruler of the Al Bhed."
"Oh, so he is very powerful..and rich."
"Yah, Very."
They walked down a hallway, leading towards a shaft that would carry them to the bottom.
"Why is no one stopping you?" Emsa asked as she looked at the people.
"I am the head of the Summoner's Sanctuary. That is why I was told about the summoner.
"So, you launch these kidnappings.you are the cause?"
"Not really. You see, although my father hates people of Yevon, he 'kidnaps' them so he could save them. He hates Yevonites because they believe in the killings of Summoners, for the peace of Spira. He is the one that launches these attacks." Moronda explained.
"So, he is really an nice person. He just doesn't believe in the sacrificing of people, right?" Emsa said. "And what exactly do they do to the summoners once they captured them?"
"They keep them here, until Sin is defeated, stopping their pilgramage. That is why they want to send a group of soldiers to try to kill Sin. So, if they kill Sin, then a summoner wouldn't defeat it." Moronda said.
They walked to the door of the Sanctuary when they heard a big rumble inside.
"What is that?" Emsa said.
Moronda punched in the number code to open the door. They walked into the room, which was fairly nice like a nice house, to see a group of people huddled in a corner and a man with the aeon Shiva called down. "Shiva, Diamond Dust!" The man said to his mighty, yet beautiful aeon.
Shiva spun around, causing ice to form around the people's feet, trapping them.
"NO, Stop!" Emsa and Moronda said at the summoner and aeon.
"Why, they tried to hurt me." The man said as he swung his staff, dismissing the aeon. "I was only defending myself."
Emsa walked over to the people that were now trapped in ice and asked them " Did you try to hurt this person?"
"No, we were only trying to tell him why he was here." One of the men said.
"Then why would he say that you were trying to hurt him?" Emsa asked.
"Well, he started to pace, and then he started to yell, and we kind of took a sword to his neck." Another man said.
Emsa looked at the summoner that was now sitting on one of the sofas.
"Fire." Emsa said calmly, causing the ice to burn at the base and melted.
"Who are you?" the man asked. " And thank you for stopping me before I did some damage to these jerks.
"I am summoner Emsa, from the temple of Bevelle, and this is my guardian, Moronda." Emsa said.
"I am Deyogen, and I come from the Temple of Macalania. They captured me when I was at the Temple of Yevon-Besaid when they took me." The man said.
Deyogen wore a male summoner's robe, that covered his feet. His robe was fringed, looking like pointy scales on a snake, which was a mix of green and blue. His staff was like a fan on a pole.(authors note: looks like braska's staff and clothes.) He had a head dress that looked like a cap with two yevon strips that formed a V. (au: looks like braska's) He had a pouch that was under one of the scales on the left slide. He has boots that were black and white, but were hidden by the robe. He had a neck Shawl that went down to his belly, covered most of his face, up to his nose.
"So, how many temples have you visited, Summoner Deyogen?" Emsa asked.
"Three. I have three aeons." He replied.
-Back with the people who escaped-
"My lord, you sould hear something about your daughter." a man said.

The end for now.
