Yazoo looked down at his sleeping brother laying on his lap. Kadaj's hair fell into his face, with an expression of a lost angel. Yazoo looked back out the night filled window. Stars dotted the black sky and the moon ruled over the heavens. He looked back down at Kadaj. The moonlight revealed Kadaj's pale face and glistened his silver hair. Yazoo gently placed a hand on Kadaj's head, careful not to awaken him or disturb him. "Brother. He's dreaming, I can tell" Yazoo thought to himself.
Kadaj peeked open his eyes. "Brother?" he whispered as he looked up at Yazoo. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to awaken you" Yazoo quickly removed his hand off of Kadaj's head. "I had a dream, brother" Kadaj sat up. "What type of dream was it?" Yazoo asked. "It almost felt real. I was in the sky, flying through the clouds with feathered wings coming out of my back. You were there too, flying by my side, holding my hand so that if I ever lost my wings, you'd be there to help me" Kadaj answered. "Sounds nice" Yazoo tilted his head to the side and smiled. "It was, brother. I wish I could fly" Kadaj layed his head back down on Yazoo's lap.
"Maybe someday you will, brother. And I'll be there to make sure you don't fall" Yazoo whispered as he stroked Kadaj's hair. "Yes" Kadaj nodded. Kadaj reached into his pocket and took out the aquamarine orb. He held it to the moon's light and watched as the orb let off a glow. "Brother, look" Kadaj pointed at the orb. "What is it?" Yazoo asked as he looked to the orb. "I see something in the orb" Kadaj held the orb to Yazoo's eye level. Yazoo squinted his eyes to get a closer view until he finally saw what it was and smiled.
While the moon shone down in through the window and onto the materia, a summon slept inside. It was a gray looking animal, curled up in a sleeping postion. Sleeping, breathing, waiting to be awakened. "It looks like a wolf" Yazoo looked down at Kadaj. Kadaj slowly brought it back down in front of him and stared at it in amazement. "Why is a wolf inside of it?" Kadaj looked up to Yazoo. "It must be a summon. You can call upon its power if you ever need help in a battle" Yazoo answered. Kadaj thought happily in his mind of what it would be like to fight alongside the wolf in battle. "I want to fight" Kadaj clutched his other fist. Yazoo set one of his hands on Kadaj's clutching fist and smiled down at him. "Rest, first. Fighting, later" Yazoo stroked Kadaj's hair again. "Okay" Kadaj agreed as he put the orb carefully back into his pocket. They both closed their eyes and fell asleep. Kadaj dreamed of fighting alongside Yazoo with his Souba and using the summon. A few hours til dawn, Kadaj awoke with the feeling of fur being gently brushed against his cheek. He peeked open his eyes to see a blury figure in front of him. All he could make out before falling asleep was its glowing eyes staring into his. He felt it lick him, then the feeling went away.
The boat's bell rung and the crew was talking happily once the boat had docked at Wutai. Kadaj twitched at some of the loud sounds, but awakened to see some sailors running around. "Brother?" Kadaj turned to Yazoo. Yazoo cracked his eye open a bit and looked to Kadaj. "What's going on?" Kadaj asked. "We must've reached Wutai" Yazoo rubbed his eyes. "We should go see" Kadaj nodded. "Hold on, brother. We must get in the crates first before we go rushing anywhere" Yazoo reminded him. "Okay" Kadaj looked to the side, a piece of his excitement gone. "The next rule of being strong brother, is to have patience" Yazoo smiled. Kadaj nodded. As they both go into their crates, some men came along and pushed them away.
"Where should we put these?" a man asked. "You can set those in that shed over there. Say, are you going to stay for the Summon Festival tonight?" another man asked. "Since, my wife and kids have been visiting my mom here, of course I'll come!" the other man from before answered. "I heard this is going to be the best festival yet!" the another man said with excitement. Kadaj lifted the lid off his box after being moved to another location. The place was a little lighter than the crate as he looked around. "Brother" Kadaj called over to the crate next to him. Yazoo flipped his lid over and looked over to Kadaj. "What's a festival?" Kadaj asked. "I'm not sure, but maybe we can ask" Yazoo stepped out of the box and helped Kadaj out. Yazoo slowly pushed the door open to the light.
A bright path unfolded in front of them as they saw merchant shops and colorful buildings. Children were playing games as the adults talked with each other happily, laughing and sharing their life's wellness. "This place," Kadaj thought as they both stepped out of the shed. "So bright, it fills me with calmness" he closed his eyes, feeling the breeze blow through his silver hair. "Do you like this place, brother?" Yazoo smiled. Kadaj opened his eyes, looking over to Yazoo, he nodded. "Come one, come all! Come to see what fate has in store for you!" a woman yelled happily from a small booth. "Lets go see what she's talking about" Yazoo took Kadaj's hand. The two of them walked over to the young teenage looking woman with black hair and dark eyes. "Hi there. Would the both of you like your fortunes told?" she smiled. "Fortunes?" Kadaj tilted his head to the side. "They're readings that can decide your fate" she explained. "Yes, please" Yazoo nodded. "Okay! Let's begin!" she got up from her chair and smiled. "I need the both of your palms, please!" she asked. The boys both showed her their palms. She examined them carefully and asked if she could see their eyes. Kadaj felt a little uncomfortable with her staring straight into his eyes, but got over the nervousness.
"Wow! I've never gotten something like this!" she gasped. "What?" Kadaj asked. "Young man with the long hair, you have a gently air about you. Your calmness hides your anxiousness that lies deep within you. Your fate is bright enough to light your way to happiness. Your dreams will be endless! And you" she turned to Kadaj. "In your eyes, I see the soul of one long lost. An anxious boy, trapped within a lost body. You're the one to be guided by the wolf god, Fenrir. He shall watch over you as you walk along your brother's side" she explained. "Fenrir?" Yazoo said, confused by the name. "He's the wolf god. He was said to be an extraordinary summon, but was never found because the hearts of many who seeked him had impureness within them and he cast his soul away into the depths of the planet, never to be seen again" she shook her head. "Fenrir" Kadaj thought deeply to himself. "Since you two are my one hundreth customer's today, you don't have to pay!" she smiled. "Thank you" Yazoo thanked her. "Come back if you need another reading!" she waved to them as they left.
"Oh! I don't know what to get!" "You should get the blue one. Afterall, it matches your eyes" a little boy and girl look at some beautifully colored kimonos at an outdoor clothes shop. "What are these?" Kadaj walked over to the shop. He went over to a rack with a light blue colored kimono on the rack. "Those are called kimonos" a woman with raven black hair came from behind the rack. "A kimono?" Yazoo raised an eyebrow. "It's a traditional Wutai dress made for women, though we do have some male outfits here. They're selling off the racks due to the festival tonight" she smiled. "Why is everybody going to the festival?" Kadaj asked. "Oh, my. You two must be tourists. Well, tonight the Summon Festivals. It's a party that celebrates what our summons have done for us. Almost everybody in Wutai is going" she explained. "A party" Kadaj thought. "You two seem lost. Why not come to the festival tonight?" she asked. "It depends. Do you want to, Kadaj?" Yazoo turned to his little brother. Kadaj nodded. "Okay, we'll go" Yazoo turned to the woman and nodded.
She at them and smiled, tears almost coming to her eyes. "What's wrong?" Kadaj asked. "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that, when I look at the both of you" she wiped a tear from her eye. "I had two sons who looked similar to the both of you. They were smart and kind, almost any type of mother would love. They had many friends and became the best students in their swordsman classes. But, during the dreadful years of the war, some of the Shinra came over to Wutai. They tried to defend me so I could escape. I begged them to come with me, but they said they'd fight to protect me. A few days later, I saw them dead under the tree of my backyard. For days, I spent my hours crying over their deaths and, oh I'm sorry" she tried to stop the tears from coming. "Everytime I talk about them, I start my grieving again. I'm sorry, though. I shouldn't have opened up to you like that" she tried to smile. "It's okay, we understand" Yazoo smiled. "Forgive me, though. To thank you for understanding, why don't the two of you stay at my house for the night" she suggested. "Thank you" Kadaj smiled.
"You both said that you were going to the festival tonight, right?" she asked as she showed them to their rooms. "Yes" Yazoo answered. "I can help the two of you get ready if you'd like me to" she smiled. "That'd be nice" Kadaj nodded. "A festival is a party. Maybe this will be exciting" Kadaj thought.
