Then he was gone. Luna couldn't believe it. Derick was gone.
"Why?" Luna asked, the dagger still in her hand. She looked up at Braba and screamed, "You done this! It's all your fault!"
"What are you talking about?" Luna heard from the door. She looked up and saw Kyle standing there. Luna jumped to her feet, dropping the dagger in the process, and ran to Kyle. Kyle wrapped his arms around her and looked down at Derick.
"Oh, no. Someone help!" Kyle called out of the room. He pulled Luna behind him as Braba came up.
"She's mine!" Braba cried as he tried to push Kyle out of the way. No matter how hard Braba tried, he couldn't get Kyle to move an inch. Luna was amazed by Kyle's strength. She didn't think that he was that strong.
Just as Braba ran and grabbed the dagger, two Al Bhed men ran up.
"You're the summoner that can speak Al Bhed. Ehat's going on?"
"Braba killed my gaurdian." Luna said, crying at having to say that Derick was dead. The other Al Bhed man had went into the room and wrestled the dagger out of Braba's hands. Luna had gotten back into the room and was by Derick's side, even though it was only his body.
"Luna, there's nothing we can do. I will send him." Kyle said, coming up behind her.
"No," Luna said, almost to hysterics, "I want to do it. He was my gaurdian. Not only that, he was also my boyfriend and my best friend. It would have been the way that he would have wanted it."
"If that's what you want." Kyle said as he turned. "Come back to the room you met me in when you're ready."
"I will." Luna said, barely above a whisper. When everyone was gone, Braba in costody, Luan sat on her knees beside Derick's body.
"Derick," Luna started, "You done just as the preiest said. You protected me with your life. Now I'm going to send you. I promise to defeat Sin. Too many people have died because of it, and you would have wanted to keep going." By this time, Luna was ready to perform her first sending. As she danced, she cried. Just as the dance ended, Luna looked around her. The room was full of pyreflies. She had never sen so many in her life. She felt love as the pyreslies flew past her.
"I love you." Luna said as they disappeared.
