Out of Guadosalam

"Thanks for waiting!" Yunie came to Auron and me, giving a small bow. "I'll go give my answer to Maester Seymour." As she proceeded to walk over to the manor, we heard several other Guados gasp from the portal of the Farplane. Curious to know what had happened, I looked up to see the commotion as did the rest of the group. I gave a gasp too as I saw a ghostly figure attempting to exit the portal.

"Lord Jyscal?!" a Guado backed away from the scene, still shocked from what was happening.

"Lord Jyscal!" Yunie exclaimed as she identified the ghostly figure trying to escape. He gave an 'ughh' sound, giving me the creeps.

"It does not belong here," Auron spoke suddenly.

'Vun uhla Auron,' I looked at him, agreeing with his point. 'Oui'na nekrd! Kad dryd lnaabo drehk yfyo!' I was still afraid of 'Lord Jyscal' still attempting to escape the Farplane.

"Why?" Yunie asked him.

'Yunie,' I tried to scold my cousin mentally. 'Caht res yfyo; ra'c gehty' lnaabo!'

"Yuna, send him," Auron advised her. At that point of time, I agreed with him fully. Yunie gave a nod and walked up the steps, and began to perform her sending. As I looked behind, I saw Auron crouching down as if he was in pain.

'Oui tacanja ed,' I cursed him as I turned back to observe the sending. 'Sayhea!'

"Lord Jyscal..." Yunie came near to him.

"He's Lord Jyscal no more. Send him now!" Lulu interrupted her. Yunie turned to agree and continued her dancing. Within moments, 'Lord Jyscal' was turned into pyreflies, dropping a blue and compact sphere. As she picked it up, I turned back to see the wimpy red guardian. He looked like as though he was alright already.

'Fryd y robulneda!' I despised him for pretending to fall on his knees and faking his pain. He came up to us.

"Talk later," he instructed Yunie. "We leave now." My cousin agreed as we proceeded to exit the area, which had given me the creeps.

"Wh...What was that just now?" Wakka asked as we continued on our journey back to Guadosalam. "That really Lord Jyscal?"

"I don't understand how a man like Lord Jyscal could die and not be sent," Yunie spoke as she was confused at the event earlier on.

"I would think that he was sent once..." Lulu replied with her assumption. "But he stayed on in Spira. Something, a powerful emotion could have bound him to this world. Such things happen."

"That's against the rules, isn't it?" I asked, wondering how he could have been unsent.

"It means that he died an unclean death," Auron deduced as we treaded on the soft dirt path leading to Guadosalam.

***

We arrived back at the manor. Yunie turned to us and took a deep breath. "I will go...meet with Maester Seymour," she disclosed her intentions, and turned back to the manor doors.

"Yuna!" the red-clad guardian called her back. "Jyscal is the Guado's problem, not yours." But it was too late, for Yunie had entered the manor. I noticed that Auron was going somewhere else again. Feeling irritated by his presence, I walked in the opposite direction.

'Rikku...' a voice sounded within my mind. It sounded like that of Seymour's.

'What?' I replied back mentally.

'As a friend, I've come to warn you.'

'What warning?'

'If you do see a girl,' the voice sounded in my head as I walked. 'Do be wary of her for she is destroyer of the Al Bhed.'

'That means...?'

'Yes, she's an unsent. A very dangerous one, has short brown hair, complete with a light green scarf wrapped between her arms and back,' he gave me the description. 'Don't say that I didn't warn you; goodbye.' I felt the voice leave my mind.

'Fryd rukfycr fyc Seymour dymgehk ypuid?' I thought to myself as I tried to decipher what he had just spoken to me telepathically. "Ur, frydajan!" I rolled my eyes as I turned back to the manor.

"Fryd tet ra cyo du oui?" I heard a voice from my side. It was the same manly voice from the guardian in red. I felt rather shocked at his proficiency in Al Bhed.

"Y-you k-know Al Bhed?" I asked him in curiosity.

"That is not important," he came up to me, ensuring that I was dwarfed beneath him. "What did he say?"

"Who?" I was annoyed at his crazy question.

"Don't joke with me," he warned, piercing my eyes with his glare. "The person who had just talked to you mentally."

"Oh...." I was enlightened but stuck my tongue out at him. "Even if you wanna' know, I won't even tell you."

"If you don't want to," he threatened, suddenly grabbing both of my hands. "Then I would have to..."

"Hey!" I interrupted him, trying to break free of his powerful fists. "If you are gonna' do this, I shall tell that you're molesting me!" He instantly let go. 'Fryd y tisp bancuh!' I called him names as he was rather fatuous in thinking that he could be accused of harassment, given his upright character. As soon as he released my grip, I kicked him in the leg again and ran off to the manor to get Yunie.

***

As I entered the manor, I saw Yunie looking at a portrait in the manor. Seymour, however, was nowhere to be seen. She seemed to be talking to it. As I got closer, I could see that it was the spirit that tried to escape -- Lord Jyscal. I came up beside her and noticed that Tidus had come into the manor too.

"Lord Jyscal, please tell me," she was conversing to a non-living picture. "What can I do to help?"

"Yuna, let's go!" I spoke to help her return to her senses. She did the prayer thing to the portrait and followed me out of the manor. Outside the place, the group had assembled once again.

"They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple," Tidus told the group. I giggled as he had mispronounced the word of this special place.

"Macalania Temple," Wakka corrected him, giving a slight laugh. The blitzball player gave an aye. "What I don't get is ..." Wakka asked the group. "Why would the lord maester head off without a peep to anyone?"

"Maybe he wasn't expecting Yuna's answer so soon," I suggested a suitable reason for his sudden departure.

"Ah, that's probably it," he gave a rejoinder. I noticed that Yunie gave a short laugh at us, which sounded like she was exhausted. The big red meanie walked over to her.

"Yuna, what is it?" he asked his summoner.

"Oh, nothing," she replied.

"Hmm...you are a poor liar," he deduced.

'Robulneda...' I looked at his words with disdain. "Oui yna y pyt meyn duu!'

"It's true. It's nothing!" Yuna protested back. She walked along the exit to Guadosalam. "Come on, let's go." I agreed as I followed her out of Guadosalam.

***

We proceeded along to the next destination, my most feared one -- the Thunder Plains. Thankfully, night was coming and it would take another day to reach the area. We prepared a new campsite again.

I looked at my sleeping bag. It looked so comfy and soft. Creeping into the bag, I looked beside me. Lulu was on one side and so was Yunie on the other side. It had been rather long since the three of us had slept together under the same starry sky.

"Lulu..." I mumbled, trying to wake her up. She did, opening one eye.

"Something's the matter?" she asked. I looked at the other side, observing Auron performing nightwatch before turning back to her.

"I wonder whose Auron's type..." I muttered, wondering what kind of knowledge she had about the crimson stoical.

"Someone outspoken I suppose," she assumed. "Lady Lyna was one, from my past experience of seeing her."

"He seems rather faithful," I whispered to her. "He didn't like it when I badmouthed her."

"Perhaps that's true love for him," she responded.

"Hmm...." I pondered.

"You like him?" Lulu butted in. I gave my instant reply.

"Yucks!" I scoffed. "He's not even attractive; how can I like him?"

"Well...love ignores all physical appearances," she answered. "As the saying goes that it is blind." I felt a tingling sound in my ear, making me sleepy.

"Okay, Lulu," I spoke sleepily. "Let's talk some other day, good night!" I drew the cover over me. I heard the tingling sound until I fell unconsciously into sleep.
