Note: Somewhat longer chapter this time. Unlike the really short chapter last time. Also, some hints about a possible huge battle coming up for the group!
Chapter 18: Up Mt. Gagazet
----------------
The group made it to Mt. Gagazet and was gracefully greeted by the new Ronso elders, Lian and Ayde. They were, basically, both the elders. They earned the elder title because they saw and journeyed all of Spira. Yuna and Tidus was telling Lian and Ayde what happened in their journey so far, while Tidsna had thoughts running through his head again.
I remember this place. Mom and dad told me about it. Summoners made their way up it to Zanarkand and after Sin was defeated, Ronsos thought Sphere Hunters were defiling the sacred grounds. Then, Garik tried to get revenge on the Guado's for what Seymour did, which was almost take out the entire Ronso population, but luckily, Mom and Kimahri stopped him. Kimahri was still the Elder until two years ago, when he passed away. Me, Yudus, and Vidina were only 18 years old when it happened. But, Kimahri's way of leading the Ronso tribe stayed with Lian and Ayde.
Lian and Ayde looked the same, too. Except, they were as tall as Kimahri was during Yuna's Summoner Pilgrimage. They were more muscular, their horns were fully-grown, and their voices were deeper. Lian had green on, like Kelk Ronso, and Ayde had blue on, like Kimahri.
"Well..." Lian started "If Jyskmell does what he says he will, you have nothing to worry about Lady Yuna" "True..." started Yuna "I'll just try to cheer up and save the world for a third time!" "Right" started Ayde "We'll also keep an eye out for anything with a green glow to it" "Good" said Tidus. "By the way..." started Lian "Beware Zanarkand" "Why? Because of Jenova's Head, right?" asked Vidina. Lian continued "Nope. There are a lot of Shinra's workers there, trying to make Zanarkand look like it did 1,020 years ago, and Shinra may tell them that you know about Jenova and may order them to kill all of you when you arrive" "Not happening" said Tidsna seriously. "Just a warning" said Lian.
The group made their way up Mt. Gagazet and ran into a lot of random battles. But, they just bared with it and continued up Mt. Gagazet. They found Kimahri's statue, so they paid their respects to the great Ronso elder, and great guardian to Yuna, and made their way through Mt. Gagazet's cave and began to make their way to the legendary Zanarkand, where the group may be ganged up on by a lot of soldiers.
PS: I hate to say this, but this fic isn't going to get good again until they make to the VERY back of Zanarkand where you fought (if you played it) Yunalesca in FFX. So just try to bear with this fic more a couple of more chapters, and it'll get good again. I'm pretty sure it'll stay good after that :-).
