Chapter 5: Playing a little game of Jealousy

The next morning was tiresome as we walked the rest of the way to Guadosalam. Last night was no sleep, did all the thinking and now my head hurts as if a nail was hammering into my head. The road was especially packed with fiends…how many now? The 50th Ochu? Oh well I've lost count.

At soon as we arrived, Tromell was there go greet us again. Wow he sure does not look like the tromell ten years later.

"Ah, greetings…you must be Summoner Braska." He greeted with a Yevon bow.

"Yes, and Hello to you."

"Are you going to be staying with us tonight?" Tromell asked.

"No, we must not delay the pilgrimage, we move on as soon as possible." Auron's voice was strong. It always was when anything 'delays' or 'slows down' the pilgrimage.

"He is right, I am just here to pass by, but thanks for your concern." Braska had said, in a more gentle way.

"Alright then, may Yevon be with you" Tromell did another bow before leaving us alone.

We headed down the tunnel leading to the place of my biggest fears. No, I've grown stronger now. I am NOT going to be afraid of lightening.

"Help! I hate lightening!" There was a cry of help in the distance. As the dark small figure came closer, it shows a young face with blue hair.

…Could it be Seymour?

"Ha, Scared of lightening little boy?" Came Jecht's obvious question.

"I hate lightening!…My name is Seymour." The young boy introduced.

So It is him…the evil villain…tried to get Yunie into marrying him…I wish I could just kill him now and save all the trouble for Yunie.

"You must be Jyscal's son!" Braska said in surprise.

"Ya! Well I have to catch up with my mom!" He gave a big wave before running pass us, back to the gloomy Guado home.

We continue heading up the flashing tunnels, as my face turned slightly pale.

"Hey kiddo, you alright?" Asked Jecht.

"Err…Ya, I am fine." I lied…

"Here come here." Jecht opened his arms as a shelter for me. I gave a smile before huddling in his arms. I took a little glance out of the corner of my eyes at Auron. I swore, he had flinched a bit when he saw the close contact of me and Jecht. If only…this was Auron. Oh well forget it, actually playing a little jealousy is useful sometimes.

We came to the entrance of the Thunder Plains. It had been exactly the same thing ten years ago. What DOES really change around here in Spira?

"We're here…Just remember to dodge any lightening when you see a flash and our goal is to run under each of the lightening rods." Braska explained.

"Well that's going to be easier, I was expecting something more challenging you know?" Jecht snorted.

"Hmph, let's go." Washis last comment.

Me and Jecht have linked arms as we crossed the muddy field. Jecht was a nice man…I didn't get why Tidus was so against his father. But maybe it was a son and father issue that I would never understand. I am glad I've made friends with him though…so caring and all. I guess he accepted his fate that he'll never be able to go back to his home….Zanarkand. That's what he said while he recorded the spheres. Poor jecht…

The rest of the troop was slowly pacing themselves. Haha, with Auron's dark tall figure, I bet lightening will attract to him for sure. Well… a lot of things are attracted to him. Okay where am I going at… forgetting about him, I huddled closer to Jecht's arm and prayed that we could get out of here as fast as we can.

By now, we were at the third lightning rod, and everyone was getting tired from soaking wet clothes and encountering fiends on the way.

"We should head over to the Inn and get ourselves cleaned up before walking the second half." Braska suggested.

"Ya, I am sort of tired…" I agreed.

As soon as we reached the Inn, Braska had paid for a room and hid himself behind the white doors. Jecht went into the change room to get cleaned up on his blitz clothing, leaving Auron and I sitting in the lobby. He took a sip of his massive jug every once in a while, I was so tempted to call him adrunker. Decided to make a more casual conversation, I asked,

"So...what are you drinking there?"

He looked at me with an annoyed face, and took another sip.

"Okay…well can I taste a bit?" Trying to attempt another conversation.

"No... leave me alone. His low rumble voice had told me to leave him alone… he had sounded a bit drunk too.

"Do you know how hard I try to make conversations with you?" I asked with annoyance.

"That is none of my concern." He simply stated.

"Ya, well nothing is your concern anyways…honestly I wonder if you even care if I died right herein front of you." I could feel rage burning up in me.

"Hmph, then you've broke your promise to Braska." He stood up and walked outside.

Somehow, those words echoed in my mind several times before fading away. Maybe…he was right. I must not show my weakness, I need, no, I must be strong around him. Right now, he thinks I am a powerless girl who tags along in their group. But I will prove myself that I am useful, and when the time comes, I'll save him from meeting his fate. Hopefully, you will be able to know me before the time comes, because once I save your life…I might disappear just as Tidus has. Maybe…I had a purpose here after all…and once I've fulfilled that purpose, my dream from the other world will wake, and I will leave this world...
