Ch. 3 The Murder and Yuna
Seymour came walking back from the halls from talking to who ever this Guado person was. He looked a little, scarier than he had these past two days.
Two days? Oh God, have we really been speaking that much?
I walked aimlessly around the halls of the Temple. I listened to the music which was a sweet melody; The hymn of the Faith, as Seymour explained as we first entered and I took notice I noticed the symbols all over the walls and the way the preists all looked at me as if I was nuts. They did the little hand prayer thing as I walked past.
Hey I'm not the bald one! What do they think I am? Some miracle?
I peered over the ledge looking deep into the smoky abyss that I had just discovered walking into the entrance hall. "Don't lean over to much or you'll fall." I turned around and it was this old guy who looked like a chinese emporer. Jyscal came to me from behind him and bowed doing that stupid hand prayer thing again. "Maester Mika, he wishes to welcome you to Spira from your attack with Sin." I looked perplexed.
Sin? When was I attacked by that?
I looked to Seymour who was staring at his father with jaw dropped. He just put his hand up and waved it as if to say, just let his father say what he had to. I just nodded stupidly.
The night came quickly and I grew bored with listening to Maester Mika, Jyscal, this bald guy Kinoc, and this Ronso Kelk guy talk. Seymour and his Guado buddies were no where to be found so I walked around aimlessly and bored. My mind began to wonder as I bumped into preists and kept walking silently in my own thoughts.
When can I go home? I really want to. I miss everyone. Seymour was nice to talk to but he is one shady mofo. I don't even know the first step to take about going home. Maybe if I awaken AoE, she'll help me...
I walked back out to the corridor hall where the Maesters Mika and Kinoc were surrounding Seymour and Jyscal. The poor Jyscal looked like he was going to die. He had been so depressed really, every time we spoke or looked at eachother. Hell, that first day we met he looked weary.
I stayed in the doorway watching what ever was to happen. Seymours words raced through my mind. "Fathers last Pleading breath..." What did he mean? I folded my arms around a pillar near me and kept my eyesight on the men. "Jyscal, you know, your not doing a very good job as Maester. You are making me sick to even be called your son. Not that this is the first." Seymour spoke to his father. Jyscal folded his arms. "You will continue to hold the past against me?" Seymour folded his arms in mockery. "You did it. And you are driving Spira to the ground. You don't deserve to live." I looked from the doorway in sheer horror.
He's gonna kill him!
I wanted to say something. Anything would have been nice. Mika and Kinoc added their two cents by saying negative things about Jyscal as well. I couldn't move. I saw the poor mans death before he did. Jyscal was calm nonetheless and watched all these men continue to speak all negative and ill willed things. My feet were still planted to the ground.
"And what do you suppose we do about it all?" Jyscal looked from each mans face and his eyes lingered on mine for a moment. I felt tears rush to my eyes as Seymour grabbed his defensless Father by the throat and squeezed the life out of him. I watched as the man gasped for air and begged and pleaded with Seymour to discontinue this action. His last gasp of air he made his last remark. "You will, be...stopped..." "What the hell!" I yelled. They turned around horrified to see a girl with a tear streaked face come running toward them. "Why the fu"
"What are you doing here?" Seymour asked as calm as anything. I looked at him staring him in his cold eyes. "This girl can not leave your side Seymour. She has witnessed to much." Mika explained to him.
I can't leave can I? Oh, AoE, please send someone to bring me home!
The next thing I knew I was on my way to Luca. After the "Sending" of Lord Jyscal the Maesters staged the death to make it look false and now every one thinks he just passed on to the farplane. That was their excuse for heaven. On the ship to Luca I sat most of the time watching a group of Crusaders, A fighting group rallied together to fight against Sin, that I would get lost watching them laugh and talk.
Would be nice to laugh again. If there was something to laugh about...
Seymour would continuously call me to the lower deck where I would have to spend numerous hours listening to him drone on about how he is the new Maester blah, blah, blah!
Kinoc was dropped off at this place called the Moonflow and the crusader group got off with him. They were going to be in the Crimson Squad I was told. I was never let out of the other two's sight after the boat crew and passengers became smaller in size. I would watch the sea instead and pray to God that I would be able to go home before anymore mishap.
We landed at this giant city that had many people and what I was told was a 'sphere dome' for blitzball. The sport they play in Spira. See back in Delphi we had normal games like volley ball and basket ball. As the ship docked many people flocked to it to see the two Maesters. News of Jyscals death had already spread through out Spira so many were probably here to see Seymour. As I was let off after Seymour, I noticed a giant group of differently dressed people. Seymour stared at the girl who was in pink, white, and purple. I looked at her and noticed the way everyone surrounded her as if she needed the protection.
She must be Summoner Yuna. The one Seymours been talking oh, so much about....
Seymour made a speech that I could have kicked him in the head for and I watched the people gape at him like little obediant monkeys. Mika came next and the crowds cheered. Once everyone dispersed I stayed in the back and no one noticed I wasn't still following Seymour. I followed Yuna and her blonde friend around, to the cafe, and then back to the blitz dome. Something happened to Yuna where the AlBhed team kidnapped her. I thought I would have to do something but her guardian with the big black dress and little moogle was quick to form a party and take them on. I watched them rescue Yuna and they all went back happily to the game. Poor Wakka, he looked hurt. I had to go and cheer him on.
I took a seat in the blitz dome and watched the Aurochs Vs. Luca Goers. It was an intense game and finally the Aurochs won. I cheered madly with the crowd but I noticed something they all didn't. Swimming fish weren't part of the Aurochs team. I knew that much.
Fiends? In this city? How?
I ran through the crowds that were starting to be attacked by fiends, jumping over screaming people and tripping over the ones to frightened to move. This was all happening to quickly for my brain. Of course in Delphi, our monsters looked like blood sucking demons from hell, but this isn't the time to reminisce on that.
I brought out my staff and fought off as many of them as I could. I saw Wakka and that blonde kid fighting in the sphere pool, so I thought I could take care of things on the dry side.
Once ten minutes went by, we were all fighting. Monsters came from all areas and directions. It was very tiring. I left the dome to infront of it and witnessed a man in a red coat slay a dragon looking thing with ease.
Whoa...
I ran back inside knowing the winged superman was here and got to witness Seymour come onto the deck. "You show off..." He summoned a great thing he failed to mention to me. As I looked at the things enormous size I was given ten seconds to also admire its strength. It killed all the fiends with one attack. I fell backwards as a fiend exploded in my face only to turn into those orbs earlier.
I looked at the other side of the stadium and saw Yuna with the black dressed lady. One fiend Seymours thing forgot to kill I guess. They weren't paying attention and they would have gotten hurt. I ran over to them surprising them by jumping over the black dressed girl and digging the bottom of my staff into the fiend. It dispersed and I looked at Yuna and the other woman. "Sorry." I apologized.
So you save someone and they look at you like you have thirty heads.....nice...
