As the airship continued on its way, the captian was apoligizing for what had happened.

"I'm so sorry. If we had known that Braba had been this intend on getting you, I would have made sure that he never left Home. I know nothing can ever make up for your lost guardian, but you can call upon me for anythign that you may need."

"Thank you. I will greatly consider it." Luna said as the airship slowed.

"We cannot take you directly into the woods, but we can let you off at the entrance. If you should need anything, please, ask any Al Bhed. They shall be informed that you are trustworthy."

"Thank you." Luna said as she, Bobby, and the captian approched the entrance of the airship. After Luna and Bobby stepped off the airship, lighting struck and thunder rolled, causing Luna to jump.

"Are you afriad of lighting?"

"A little. I've lived in Kilika most of my life. Everyone knows that water and lighting don't mix." Luna said as she walked out of the rain, into the comfort of the Maclaina Woods.

"What do you mean by that?" Bobby asked.

"I was going to go swimming once while it was storming, and my dog followed. Well, he jumped in just as lighting struck the water. No need to say I didn't go swimming that day. That was only five years ago.I still shiver thinking that it could have been me in that water."

"Well, maybe he was trying to warn you."

"I think he was." By this time, they had come to a fork in the path. To get to where they were going, they had to go up the left path. As they traveled, Bobby told more of himself. He was orginally from Bevelle and really hadn't wanted to leave, but felt that he had to.

"What about you?" Bobby asked, looking at Luna.

"I'm orginally from Bevelle, but spent most of my life in Kilika."

"Why did you move?"

"My father died and I had nowhere else to go besides Kilika with my Nanny."

"You were an only child?" Bobby asked as they reached the inn next to the Macalina Lake.

"No. I have a sister. She and Measter Seymour are to marry."

"Yuna? I should have known. You two do look a lot alike."

"You've met my sister?"

"Yes. I thought you were her when I first met you, but then I sensed something different about you, so I never said anything." They each got a room and then sat to eat dinenr.

"Luna, why have you become a summoner?"

"That's a very interesting story." Luna said with a chuckle.

"Well, we have the time."

Luna discribed the dare and the consequences that came with it.

"So, you didn't want to become a summoner? Do you still regret it?"

"No. At first I didn't want to become a summoner, but now I'm more determined than ever to defeat Sin."

"Because of your gaurdian? You two were close, weren't you?" All Luna could do was nod, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"Don't cry. I'm sorry, Luna. I shouldn't have mentioned him." Bobby said Luna could see him blushing through her tears. She smiled and said,

"It's ok. You didn't realize how close we were. We were together."

"Oh." Bobby said. One look at his face, and Luna knew what was going through his mind. Her eyes went wide and she shook her head.

"No, no, no. Nothing like that." Luna said, her turn to blush. Nothing like that had ever went through her mind the whole time they were together. then she realized how many times she could have gotten into that situation.

"Oh. I see. But you really did love him, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"He was lucky to have someone like you."

"Thank you. That was very kind of you, Bobby."

"No problem. Wait. You never got to tell me who your father was."

"Oh, his name was Braska." Luna said casually. She never really thought of it as a big thing that her father was a high summoner.

"High Summoner Braska?"

"Yes."

"He would be very proud of you." By this time, they had both gotten done eating.

"Well, what should we do? Do you think that it would be easier to go to the temple now or wait until in the morning?" Luna asked.

"It might be easier to do it tonight. I'll get our rooms reserved just in case someone needs them tonight, if this is going to be like when Kyle would pray to the Fayth." Bobby said.

"Ok." Luna said, standing up and walking outside. It was cold, considering this was a cold place. There was snow everywhere, and Luna thought it was beautiful. Bobby soon joined her and they were off.

As they walked out to the lake, which was frozen over, Luna noticed something wrong with it.

"There's a huge whole in the lake, Bobby!" Luna cried, starting to walk toward it.

"No! Don't get to close! You don't know who stable it is." Bobby warned.

"Oh, ok." Luna said, retreating from the hole. They walked around and then continued on their way. "I wonder how that happened?" Luna thought out loud as they walked.

"I don't know. I'm not even sure if I really want to know."

"Yeah. I guess you're right."

"Luna, you have Al Bhed in you, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Is that why you know the Al Bhed language so well?"

"Yes. My father was teaching me when he left for his pilgrimage."

"And you continued to study?"

"Yes. My nanny helped me after that. I remember we wold practice by talking in Al Bhed for days." Luna smiled at the memory of Betty.

"Was she an Al Bhed?"

"No. She was a live-in nanny, so she learned the language, just in case."

"Oh. Do you miss her?"

"Yes."

"Ah, here we are." Bobby said as the temple came into view. They walked in and down a flight of stairs. A path that was covered in snow curved here and there and finally stopped at a door. Luna walked in, Bobby right behind her. They walked farther into the room and a priest saw them.

"Hello. May I help you?"

"I'm here to pray to the Fayth." Luna said.

"Oh, ok. Go right ahead. And this is your gaurdian, I presume?"

"Yes, I am. My name is Bobby." he said as he shook the preist's hand.

"Gaurd her with your life. That's how a good gaurdian is." As soon as Luna heard it, she began to cry. She ran up the stairs and into the Cloister of Trials.
