Hao's new destiny. Part 3.

Hao had slept solid the entire night on the boat. He'd been reading in the book for that morning about blitzball. He thought it sounded a bit silly. Who could hold their breath for so long? Turned out all blitzball players had to learn how.

Sarah had come in to tell him that they were nearly at Luca. Hao reluctantly followed Sarah out into the blinding sun, and got a rude awakening when Bickson threw a blitzball at him. In return he simply sent a spell he'd been practicing, fira, at him. Currently, Bickson was sat on the floor trying to get rid of the fire that refused to leave his foot.

Sarah just laughed. "Bullies always get what they deserve." She told him simply. Bickson just glared at her.

"Woh…" Tidus whispered when he saw Luca clearly.

"I read it was suppose to be one of the biggest towns in Spira, right?" Hao asked Yuna. Yuna nodded.

"Because of sin, towns don't usually get any bigger then this." She replied sadly. Hao nodded, and turned to face Luca again. He could just hear a voice announcing about how the event was sponsored by Yevon etc… They eventually got to dry land.

"Ah…" Sarah sighed, stretching. Hao laughed. "Why couldn't you stretch on the ship?" He asked.

Sarah giggled. "I'm not fond of ships. I try to avoid moving around on them a lot." She explained. "Come on, let's look around." She grabbed his wrists, and they ran around the docks, looking at all the different blitzball teams. Hao had to admit feeling a little intimidated when he saw a team of Ronso's…

Sarah giggled as he paled. "Come on, we better get back." When they got back a crowd that were running the opposite way greeted them.

"ARGH!" Hao screamed as he and Sarah nearly got trampled over. Yuna spotted them and helped them through the crowd, whilst giggling.

"We're going this way, because the Maesters have arrived." She explained.

Hao had to admit; these Maesters didn't impress him. He'd been reading through the book, and had decided they were all power hungry madmen. But he couldn't exactly say that when he was surrounded by a bunch of Yevon loving hicks, so he allowed himself to be dragged towards one of the docks, with Sarah and the others close to his side.

When they got to the dock, they caught sight of a grandly decorated boat. An old man was standing at the top of the ramp that leads down from the boat. He spoke to the crowd in a fairly quiet voice that Hao had to lean forward to hear him properly, (or maybe he's just going deaf, lol) "People of Spira, I thank you for you generous welcome. Rise, Maester Seymour, and all of you as well."

Hao didn't have a clue what the old man was rambling on about. Sarah seemed to understand though, and hissed to Hao, "He's talking about a new maester." She explained.

Hao smirked, "So the old codger up there is finally retired?" He hissed back, sending Sarah into a fit of silent giggles. She quickly stopped as the new Maester stepped forward. He had electric blue hair that reminded Hao very much of Horo-Horo. It was kind of hard to imagine this guy carrying a snowboard though.

Mika continued to speak. "I present to you… the son of Maester Jyscal Guado, who departed to the Farplane a fortnight past…" Hao didn't listen to the rest. He hissed to Sarah again, "Glad I didn't see him whilst I was there. If that's what the offspring looks like, I don't wanna see the father." Sarah actually stuffed her fist in her mouth to stop herself from laughing too hard.

The new Maester looked upon the crowd before speaking, in the weirdest voice, in Hao's opinion, "I'm a Seymour Guado. I am honoured to receive the title of Maester." Hao frowned at him, whilst Sarah stared at him in curiosity, as though trying to see into his mind.

"In life, my father Jyscal worked to foster friendship between man and Guado. I vow to carry on his legacy, and fulfil my duties as Maester to the best of my abilities." Seymour continued. Mika and the rest of the priests all were set to leave, but then one of them set their eyes on Sarah and gasped, "The Sorceress! Who aided at Kilika Island with Summoner Yuna!"

Sarah felt her face shoot red as half the dock, including Maester Mika and Seymour crowded round her. Yuna and the others stood outside the crowd, their jaws dropped.

Mika was first to speak face to face with Sarah. "Ah… the Sorceress. The Sorceress who was prophesied to save the world of Spira! You are she, are you not?"

Sarah just looked beyond mortified. 'God help me…' She thought wildly as she nervously replied, "Urm… yes I am." Everyone on the docks broke into conversation, saying things like, "That's the Sorceress?" And "She looks so young!"

Seymour stepped in, eyeing her with curiosity. "And how old are you meant to be, and what is your name?"

Sarah gulped slightly and answered, "I'm Sarah, from the planet Earth. And age wise, I just turned to the age of 16 about 8 months ago." Then she turned to Hao and dragged him in. "And this is my friend Hao. He's a shaman. It's been about three years since his last battle, so you should be 17 yes?"

(Note: Hao's birth date is about 5 years ahead of mine, but I wanted him to be around the same age as me, Yuna and all, so I moved his birthday ahead a couple of years. Now he's only a year older then me.)

Hao's jaw dropped. Three years! Surely it hadn't been THAT long!

Seymour smiled and continued to look Sarah up and down as though trying to weigh her chances of success as a Sorceress.

"You may not look it, but you certainly have strength." Seymour eventually spoke. Sarah sighed and looked at her feet. Hao just frowned at Seymour. What did this freak want?

Seymour nodded to the other priests, indicating that they could leave. Mika left too, along with the rest of the crowd. Yuna and her guardians pushed through towards the three of them.

Seymour smirked coolly when he saw Yuna. "Ah, Summoner Yuna, the daughter of High Summoner Braska." He greeted. Yuna looked fairly nervous and faced the ground and replied, "Yes. It is an honour to meet you Maester Seymour."

Seymour laughed almost softly. "No need for formalities. You can all just call me Seymour."

Wakka looked surprised, but nodded. The others were just frowning upon the situation.

Seymour then turned to Hao. Hao didn't let his gaze make him back down. He was determined to out stare this guy. He could tell this guy was beyond good. With him once being evil, he could sense the aurora around the beyond good ones. And this Seymour was certainly letting off a stench of evil.

"And you are a Shaman. But unfortunately the power of shamans does not reach here. But if history serves me correct, you must the well known Hao Asakura, am I correct?" Seymour questioned him.

Hao's jaw dropped in shock. How did the git know? Could he read minds? Did he know how evil he uses to be? That he was the human equivalent of sin?

"Er… yeah I am." Hao answered back, trying not to waver on his words.

Seymour nodded at him, before turning towards Sarah again. "Are you here to watch the match? Or are you just passing through?" He asked her politely.

"We are staying for the match. Wakka, one of Lady Yuna's guardian's, is caption of the Besaid Aurochs, and so we're staying to support him." Sarah explained.

Seymour nodded. "Well, considering that you are staying, we better get you seated somewhere." He replied.

Yuna looked gobsmacked. The others did too. Apart from Tidus, who looked confused, and Hao, who really felt a total distrust for the man, and was now glaring at him from behind his back.

Sarah meanwhile, just looked pleasantly surprised. She eventually answered, "I thought I would just be seated with my friends. Not be treated like some sort of queen." She replied looking a little intrigued.

Seymour laughed. "You are meant to be the Sorceress, are you not? We have to show you our respect!" He exclaimed. Sarah just frowned at the floor.

"I don't wish to be treated any differently then anyone else just because of my purpose in life." She told him firmly. Seymour looked at her with admiration on his face.

"I fair Sorceress, who wishes for everyone to be treated equal, not matter the differences." He said slowly. "Very admirable."

Hao suddenly realised why he didn't feel any hate towards humans any more. Sarah had practically turned his life up side down, with her strong beliefs, and dragged him into a shaman free world, where humans were the highlight of the planet. He was starting to realize how not all humans were ignorant to the world. Sarah seemed to bring a good side out of him. He could see why Seymour had said what he'd just said.

Suddenly, a whistle blew off. Wakka gasped.

"Oh damn! We're gonna be late for the match ya?" Tidus immediately jumped up in horror and ran with the others towards the stadium.

"My apologies!" Yuna cried, trying to perform the prayer to Seymour, and run backwards at the same time. Hao laughed at how funny she looked trying to do that. Before he and Sarah could run ahead, Seymour called them to a halt.

"Um, yes Maester Seymour?" Sarah asked, turning to face him again, whilst Hao groaned with impatience, and started walking around in circles. What did he want now?

"I hope we'll meet again." He said simply, before also walking towards the stadium. Sarah and Hao both looked at each other before running off to ask where the Besaid Aurochs had gone. Unaware they were being watched by a male figure in a red coat and a pair of sunglasses…

So…

Sarah and Hao had both just found the Besaid Aurochs. Yuna was frantically talking to Tidus about something.

"Someone saw Sir Auron in the café!" She was saying frantically. Tidus looked stunned.

"Sir Auron!" He yelped as though he couldn't quite believe it. Yuna nodded almost giddy with excitement.

"If we're quick enough, we can see if we can find him!" She continued. "You up for it?"

Tidus grinned. "Sure am!" And they both ran off. Sarah quickly blew a wolf whistle as they left. Hao swore he saw Yuna going bright red.

"Well, the game doesn't start for a bit, so you two can have a little explore around. See if you find anything interesting." Wakka said to Sarah and Hao. Hao groaned. They'd only just got there!

Sarah just grinned. "Come on Hao, let's have a look around!" Then she ran ahead. Hao sighed and followed her out.

Hao frowned when he saw Tidus trying to talk to a couple of people. The two people were looking at him as though he was some weirdo.

Hao frowned as Tidus walked away. "Who are they?" He asked Sarah as they walked out also.

Sarah answered, "Have you read about the Al Bhed yet?"

Hao scratched his head. "I've seen bit about them, but I've not read about them properly. They're the none believers right?"

Sarah grinned. "Yep! That's why I'm rather fond of the Al Bhed. They may be sneaky, but it's all for a good cause. You'll possibly learn more about that some other time. Even I don't understand them properly."

Hao frowned with interest at the two Al Bhed men. He was fairly curious about the Al Bhed too.

"How can you tell the difference between an Al Bhed and a human?" He asked. Sarah grinned.

"The trick with them is, they try to make sure no-one can tell they're Al Bhed. The thing with Al Bhed is that they always, I repeat, always have blonde hair, unless they're only part Al Bhed, like Yuna…"

Hao choked. "Yuna's half Al Bhed?" He hissed.

Sarah nodded. "Yes, but don't tell Wakka. He hates Al Bhed. Anyway, also, they have swirled green eyes. They wear goggles to cover them up."

Hao nodded. "Anything else?"

Sarah nodded. "Yes, they speak their own personal language, which is quite fun to learn!" Hao smiled. He was really starting to become connected with the world of Spira…

To be continued… Once again… NO FLAMERS! I'm so thankful to Dark and light samurai for giving me confidence to continue my story! People please read and review!
