Ava Vincent by Sol-Ratcht Saporro
"You know I may be a little girl but I can sure as hell pack a punch."–Ava Vincent
Author's note: Silly me! I forgot to mention. Ava's thought's are italicized as AVA and Al Bhed translations are in parentheses as (AL BHED). Not to get you confused. On with the story!
Part I
Well hello, my name is Ava Vincent...um I can't recall my last name because my parents never informed me or my sis ter. (That I find odd in all of it's entirety). Now I am a 17 year old rabbit-girl with ivory-soft fur, short-style hair and emerald eyes. I come from a place in Titania called Nefrominusck Unda, which is inTitania, and in translation "Abundance of dust plains". It's actually a nice place even though I was born and still being raised here. The people are known as "Al Bheds"( author's note: same name as the Final Fantasy X people but no relation). We are a...a , how do you say? A "band"of thieves if you will. It's sad how we cheat outsiders and tourists in general, but hey, we gotta make a living too you know.
I have two really good friends, Sol-Ratcht Saporro and Kylette Vildamera. Sol-Ratcht's a bat girl with a "famous" sister (although I personally never heard of her) named Sarge Saporro. I swear, they are the opposite of each other. Sol may be older than both Kylette and I but she is the baby of her family. Now onto the live-wire named Kylette Vildamera. Wow! What can I say about her? She's got tons and tons of energy and she's rarely in a bad mood. Earlier in her life she had a gene-splicing accident where the result was her tail go split in two. Boy oh boy! She has some uses for them. She can temporarily fly in the air like a helicopter, a propeller for a boat and even my own personal fan when Titania reaches it's peak temperature. She also has a older sister named La Runa Vildamera. La Runa's known for being a total flirt and a thief (surprisingly a good one at that). When push comes to shove Kylette's something else!
Okay, okay enough about my friends. Well ever since I graduated from school not to long ago I wanted to be a mercenary. But everyone is always criticizing me like saying, "Oh you are just a little girl. What can you do?", "You are too sweet and kind to be a mercenary. You would be considered a push-over in their eyes." Ooh ooh! My favorite one, "You don't even know how to fight. You are too scrawny too be picking fights with people kid." -sigh- I just wish they could just look at me just once so I can prove them wrong. You know I may be a little girl but I can sure as hell pack a punch. Just ask a perverted ex-boyfriend of mine. Hee-hee! I always wanted to join a specific group of mercenaries called the Gullwings because it's an all girls group. I hear they need three new girls and my friends and I are the perfect compatibility to those positions. One thing is the leader of the group, I don't know much about her except her name is Zane Godhand. They say she's some lupinic warrior who wields a big-ass sword (whoopsie didn't mean to swear like that) but I feel as though I have to prove my worth by getting accepted and the only way is for me to do so is to go through this interview. I have received the instructions on the interview and like any sort of date type of interview, you would meet at a restaurant and converse. The guy who's doing it is Wolf O' Donnell, who is in my point-of-view, the star of the Venomian show. I've heard so many tales about him yet I've never seen his face at all. To me he seems like a real brute but hopefully he's a tad more gentle with women. Well my segmented interview will commence real soon so I must make haste if I am to be attending.
To enunciate a little on the rules as I head out the door, the clues stated that it was circling around three primary areas; appearance, beliefs and risk factor. The first two I am prepared on but the last one...uhhhh...I am not so sure about. Well I am traversing on the dusty roads of my little town and who do I run into? None other than Kylette Vildamera. She was raving and ranting in Al Bhed about some guy who is trying to rip her off on some, what I thought, were some cute bangles. I try to console her with a friendly warm greeting:
"Kylette! Yjek mada en usui! Xome datch verar?"( Kylette! You're here girl! How have you been?)
"Ahhh...Crid ib. --Oh Accuica Sa, cro Bei namui! (Ahhhhh...So huh. --Excuse me, oh I am Good!)
"Waco mineav jacov?"(What was that for?)
"Emmei, O fuladoh elia ...turns to the salesmanPARABACTOV!" (Sorry, I was talking to this... FUCKER!)
GASP!-"Kylette, Dome civ kana clo bei?"(Kylette what did he do to you?)
"Effo, O zec cleid myasto bandazel foh, elia zuraclemof svenoge lomequa zode."(Well I was shopping for my interviewing outfit with accessories with this guy and he's trying to rip me off.)
"Oh, O lume swa."(Oh I see.)
" Mine, du lume bei."(Glad to see that you do).
"O, edomanu, yealen!Dia Sculermat!"(I almost forgot! The Seamstress!)
"AIIIIIIYEEE! Flel flel! O curad'x welc clo gerlo bei!(Go go! I don't want to delay you!)
" O emmei! O welc clo exema cocama!(I am sorry! I will talk with you later!)
"Coma cuda xen fregate!"(It's okay just go!)
"Demitska Ky!(Goodbye Ky!)
"Bedmo, bedmo. Cadask usui! Shy yensusen!"(Yeah yeah. Later girl! Good luck with the interview!)
As I rushed towards the seamstress's hut, I was becoming more and more famished by the moment. I kept picking up my weak, little legs as fast as I could but then..."OWWWW!" I ran into some colossal guy's back. He only took a few steps forward and grunted while me on the other hand, was hurled to the ground. Sheesh, he really knocked the wind out of me! –I said to myself"Uggghhh..." I sighed and moaned. The guy turned around and saw me on the ground embracing my ankle which stung for a good while.
"Hey little lady are you alright?' The wolf asked me. I tried to use my hand to serve as a visor so I can see the wolf in better vision. When I saw him I stared in awe. He had a gorgeous muscular body, which is quite note worthy in my fact and he wore some black jog pants, sneakers and an eyepatch in which I was curious to ask about. The fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt made me blush to the extreme. And all I could reply was a simple, "Yes.".
He knelt down beside me and went on to say, "I am very sorry about this ordeal. I was looking for a location and I just stood there in the middle of the road like a stump. In actuality, I meant to catch up with someone. Please forgive me on that one." He looked very sincere into my eyes when he said that, I...I didn't know what to do. His look shot me straight in the heart which is weird. I was thinking to myself, He looks like a tourist. They usually come semi-nude because they can't bear the heat and glare of Solar. Hee-hee! Who can blame him.
"Ummmm...you see sir, it's not your fault it was mine I shouldn't have been bolting around and not looking at where I am going. I was...HUH! At that time, I was going to explain myself when he swooped me off of the ground spontaneously. -GASP!- What can I do now? He's too strong even for me to budge his arms. Ohhhh...what a guy! I started to stammer like hell froze over and he shot a concerned look into my eye. Like he wanted to ensure my safety or protect me in that sense. Oh God! Don't even get me started on blushing this was a red that was undescribable it was like that. " I...I...I was..." I kept stammering....dammit speak, Ava, speak! Suddenly, Wolf interrupted, "Oh...no need to explain yourself little lady. You are hurt and I wanna get you to the infirmary imeediately." I felt rude staring at his eyepatch the whole time. It sure as hell intrigued me the most, a mystery if you will. What made it worst is my guilty conscience longing to ask him about it, well instead I asked him or tried to ask him," Ummm...ummmm...oh, my how many times do you work out?" Ava you are hopeless
" Well let's see..." As he started out," let's just say, my position requires that I have this type of physique and endurance."
"Oh I see"
"Oh!"
"What is it, Mister?"
" I apologize, I should put you down huh, little lady?"
"Oh...no you don't have to. Only if I am too much weight for you to bear." He probably thinks I weigh a ton by now. I am so fat. I wanted this to last a bit longer...SHIT SHIT SHIT! Excuse me.
"Oh..." He groaned "There we go Heh-heh. I think you are also tired of me calling you 'little lady' by now huh Miss...?
"Ava...Ava-Vincent"
"Vincent is your last name?"
" No that's my first name altogether."
"Well okay Miss Ava-Vincent. I gotta go but I had the pleasure of meeting you." He took my hand and kissed it gently as he bowed to me as well. Must be a Venomian custom. Then he strolled away not so much in a haste but in a hurried casual -type of way. As I looked onward, I sighed really, really loud and I held the hand he so gently kissed to my cheek. Again I thought to myself What A GUY!
Ironically, I was right in front of the seamstresses hut. Did he know? Nah, he wasn't in my head. Then again I never told him. The seamstress came out and approached me with a smile. I said with a sheer hint of curiosity:
"Belent, Belent's clo reida?(What, What's so funny?)
"Haha...Oh, Bei dae Dai Zeihat sho'x reidada."(Oh...you and the wolf. That's funny.)
"Oh exac, exac. Watsomen lomequa bandazel?"(Oh okay okay, Where's the outfit?)
"Dome ed da vidalania."(Here it is precious.)
"Gascanta!Demitska!"(Thank you! Goodbye!)
"Bei qu yani averiko!"(You are most welcome!)
As I hurried off to my house to get ready I was still thinking about that man...Who was he? And most importantly will I ever be able to see him again? Only fate can show me. I am hoping that it will turn my way though. I made an inward smile because tonight can determine whether I am called a Mercenary or not...Ava-Vincent, destined member of the Gullwings.
End of Part I
