Chapter 7: The Rescue
"I've come to bring you home my son" Gyscal replied. "I have always doubted for having abandoned you and your mother and I'm really
sorry about that." Gyscal continued. "It's too late now old man!" Seymour shouted. "Please Seymour. Let go of all this hatred in you.
Don't let it conquer you" Gyscal called out. But Seymour didn't listen to him. "Now all of you will die!" as Seymour shouted this, he
turned into a demonic fiend. "Feel my wrath!" he called out. But suddenly, as he looks up, a bright light shimmers on top of him. Then, an
angelic woman comes down. She touches Seymour's face. Seymour didn't recognize the woman, but he knew that she was special to
him. "Anima" Gyscal called out. With that, Seymour turned back into his original form and cried. "Mother?" he asked the woman. "Yes
Seymour. Look at how you've grown." She replied. "Mother, why did you leave me?" he asked in tears. "I didn't. I even became your
aeon, Anima. Remember?" she informed her. Seymour didn't reply. "My son, let all this go. Let's go back. Let's renew our family and
undo all the mistakes we had. Forgive your father." She continued. "But he's a jerk! He never deserved you! You were better off with
someone else!" But before Seymour could continue saying bad things about his father, Anima put her finger on Seymour's lips causing
him to stop. "Sssh" she said. "I have already forgiven you're father. You should too." She continued. Seymour looked at him who was
feeling guilty for everything that Seymour has gone through. He stood up and walked towards him. He looked at Yuna and the rest of the
gang who weren't sure if that was really Seymour because they never knew Seymour had a soft side in him. As Seymour stepped nearer
to Gyscal. Vidina sneaked towards Lenne and hurriedly set her free. Suddenly, Seymour noticed Vidina and he turned his attention to
him, releasing all his hatred and rage again. He choked Vidina. "You can't trick me! I knew all of this is a fake! All of you are liars!" he
shouted. With that, he slammed Vidina on Gyscal. "Vidina!" Lenne called out, who was already free. She took her sword and she stroke
Seymour. Seymour fell on the ground. "What the! How did you do that? No one can ever hit me" Seymour said who was confused on
why he was hit by a mere woman. Lenne shouted and positioned to attack Seymour but then she stopped as Tidus shouted. "Lenne!
Stop this! This isn't you!" he called out. Lenne turned to him, she was still holding the sword, positioning to attack Seymour. "But he.."
Lenne said. Lenne turned to Seymour, then she realized Gyscal was covering him. "Please Miss Lenne. Spare my child" he said. With
those words, Seymour finally realized that Gyscal was really telling the truth. Yuna helped Vidina stand up and as he stood up, he spotted
Lenne. "Lenne?" he said, making Lenne turn her attention to her. "Vidina, I'm glad you're alright" Lenne replied as she let go of her
sword. As Seymour and his parents reunited, Lenne ran to Vidina. "I though I lost you" Lenne said as she and Vidina hugged. She cried
on his chest and Vidina just smiled. "Hey, we should go now" Quill interrupted making Lenne and Vidina let go. "Okay" Lenne replied
as she nodded. "Miss Lenne" Gyscal called out as Lenne approached the airship. "Yes?" Lenne asked. "Thank you for helping us reunite
our family." He replied. Lenne nodded as she smiled to Seymour and his parents' waving goodbye. As she boarded the airship, they
waved goodbye to Seymour and his family who slowly faded away. "Who knew Seymour had a soft side in him?" Reine said, making
everyone turn their attention to her. "Everyone has a heart. They just don't let anyone see it" Lenne replied as she looked at the
wonderful sight of the sky. "I guess you're right" Reine said as she sat back on her chair.
A few hours later, as they all arrived Besaid, Reine came up of a plan. "Wait. Pace, Garren has something to tell you" she informed Pace.
"Really? What?" Pace asked as she turned to Garren. "Uhm" Garren said as he trembled. "Oh come on, get on with it already!" Reine
said as she pushed Garren nearer to Pace. Everyone laughed as Garren trembled and blushed. "I…I" Garren said, still trembling and
turning more red than ever. "You what?" Pace asked impatiently. "He loves you! God! Garren! You can't even say three words to
Pace!" Reine said as she got mad at Garren. "You do?" Pace asked Garren if what Reine said was true. Garren sighed and he nodded.
"Oh" she replied as she started to turn red. Suddenly, Reine spots Vidina trying to sneak out. "Wait! Vidina! Don't you have something
to say to Lenne?" she called out making Vidina have no choice but to go back. "Uhm, Lenne, don't you ever wonder why Vidina always
acts like a jerk whenever Quill is around?" Reine asked Lenne. "I do. I always noticed that." Lenne replied. "Why Vidina? Why do you
act like that?" Lenne asked. "Because.." Vidina said, running out of words. "Because what!" Reine asked impatiently. "Because I love
her! Okay! You happy now!" Vidina asked Reine who was smiling. Then he realized that he actually shouted out his feelings to Lenne.
"Never better" Reine replied with a huge smile on her face. Lenne just blushed, she never knew Vidina had feelings for her. And to think
they were best friends.
A year later, on Reine's debut party, Garren and Pace were finally a couple as well as Vidina and Lenne. "Everything's just perfect"
Reine said with a sigh as she saw the two couples. "Since you helped us, we decided to help you and Quill" Pace said as she approached
Reine. "What are you talking about?" Reine asked, confused. "Garren and Vidina is talking to Quill right now" Lenne said. "What!" Reine
replied.
Meanwhile, Garren and Vidina sat next to Quill who was all alone on the table. "Hey, how's it going?" Garren asked Quill. "Not much"
he replied. "Yeah, I think we know that. You haven't talked much since this morning. What's with you today anyway?" Vidina asked
Quill. "Well" Quill sighed as the two listen closely. "I've been meaning to ask Reine to dance with me, but I don't have the guts. I don't
know why, but I usually don't get ashamed with talking to the girls I like. This is the first. It's weird really. I don't know what I feel right
now." He replied. "Looks like you've fallen in love with my sis" Garren said. "What? Why do you say that?" Quill asked, confused and
wondering if what Garren said was true. "Well, we can't say for sure unless we understand what you feel" Vidina informed the two. "Can
you describe it for us?" Garren asked Quill. "I don't know. I can't describe it. That's the weird part actually." Quill replied. "Some
people did say that you can't describe love." Vidina told Quill. "I guess you really are in love with my sis" Garren said as he clasped his
hands.
Minutes have passed, and the music started. Reine just sat at the sides while Quill was sitting across Reine. Lenne noticed the two and
she stopped dancing with Vidina to fix the problem. Apparently, so did Pace. "Quill, would you quit playing around and just ask Reine to
dance with you?" Lenne said with a grunt. "I'm not playing around" Quill replied as he stood up. "Well, if you're not, go to her" Pace
said as she pushed Quill towards Reine. Reine sees Lenne and Pace, pushing Quill towards her. "What are you guys doing?" Reine
asked, confused. "Go on Quill" Lenne whispered to Quill. He nodded, then he gulped. "Reine, will you dance with me?" he asked. With
this, Reine was filled with glee. "Sure" she replied. Then they stepped to the dance floor. Lenne and Pace smiled as they saw the two
dance. "We did a good job." Lenne said. "I guess we did" Pace continued as the both of them returned to Garren and Vidina.
Meanwhile, the music turned into a slow dance, everyone hugged their partners. Reine felt awkward and she didn't know what to do.
Quill saw that Reine was feeling awkward so he wrapped his arms around her. "Reine, have I told you that you're getting more prettier
every time I see you?" he commented as they hugged and swayed to the beat of the slow music. Reine blushed as Quill continued to hug
her. At the other side of the dance floor, Lenne and Pace saw the two. "Look at them" Lenne whispered to Vidina. "They're perfect" he
replied. "This day couldn't get better" Garren said.
Everything was finally back to normal. Everything was perfect. But is it the end of Lenne's journey already? Or has it only begun?
It feels like the ending, but it's not...there are more trials Lenne and her friends will surpass..find out on the next chapter...
