Reunion of Sorts
I stood from my place on the couch and made my way into the other room. I sat down in one of the chairs as I grabbed the boots Baralai had provided me with. I slipped them on and was tying the laces when Auron and Crystal entered. "Brooke, we really don't this its wise-"
"…For you to leave after just getting better," I finished for them. As I finished lacing the boots, I lifted my head and looked intently at both of them. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. However, we really don't have any choice."
The two of them exchanged glances before Crystal turned back to me and said, "It is as you wish, Lady Brooke."
I raised an eyebrow. That was easier than I thought it was going to be. I mentally shrugged it off, not thinking about it again. I stood from my chair and maneuvered my way over to the front window of the house. I pushed over the curtain and peeked outside. You couldn't see much of any thing; there was a bunch of tree impeding my view of Bevelle's gates. I looked over my shoulder at the two 'parental' figures I had accompanying me now. "Ready?"
I could tell they were reluctant to answer me, because regardless of what they said we were leaving, and we were leaving now. They slowly nodded their heads. I grinned and moved to the door. I opened it slowly and poked my head out. I looked a round a bit to make sure no one was in the vicinity that would spot us. Noting that no one was around, I quietly slipped out the door, Auron and Crystal following closely. I crouched down as I walked amongst the trees and brush, not wanting to draw attention to myself. As I continued to walk, I noticed that Auron and Crystal started to lag behind me. I turned my head and looked at them. They were talking quietly to themselves and I shot them a look that clearly read 'What are you doing?' They ignored it, and motioned for me to pay attention to what I was doing.
I shrugged to myself and continued on my way towards the main gates of Bevelle. As I was walking a strange thought hit me. 'What's going to happen if I show up… Zanarkand wants me dead, and I'm a labeled enemy of Yevon…' I groaned and rubbed the temples of my forehead. I didn't even think about that… I'm going to go in there and get attacked by both sides. 'To help or not to help, that is the question…' But even if I wanted to help, they wouldn't believe me and I'd probably get tossed back into the Via Purifico. I shuddered violently at that thought. 'Well I'll have to make them believe me…'
I continued to make my way through the trees and finally I could see the high walls of Bevelle. The sound of gunshots and shouts became insanely loud. I stood behind a tree. I slowly moved my head out and glanced at the open area in front of me. Well, the would be open area. It was now completely occupied with Zanarkand soldiers and their machina. I was still mentally debating whether or not to go in and try to help Bevelle, when I was over come with tiredness. Well, I never did get to make that choice, because I slumped to the ground as a sleep spell took its effect on me.

"She actually thought we were going to allow her to go gallivanting right into the middle of a war," the brunette girl said as she approached the unconscious Chosen One. She watched as Auron bent down and lifted her off the ground. "Come on, we'll move to the Calm Lands, she was right that we had no choice but to move out. If we stayed there, they would have discovered us…" She started off through the brush towards the grassy plains.
"We couldn't have done this before though, she did get rather close. What if she had been seen?" the stoic man asked as he shifted the raven-haired girl in his arms. Her arm hung freely over to the side, swinging to and fro as they walked. "That would have been disastrous."
"Could of, but wasn't. Don't worry about it," she said as she continued to lead him through the forest. "What you should be worrying about is if we meet up with Zanarkand on the way to the Calm Lands. That would be a little more than a problem." She ducked down under the branches that stood in her way.
"We will run into them, we're going the way they are coming from," he said as he, with much difficulty, bent down and walked under the branches obstructing the pathway. "It's inevitable, you do know that, correct?"
"Yes, but if we make it to the Calm Lands, we'll avoid a much larger battle. Not to mention, in the Calm Lands there is a lot more space to fight," the brown-eyed girl informed him. "Besides, they'll be looking to move straight to Bevelle, not fight with us."
"You have a point," he stated as he adjusted the Sleeping One in his arms. "Now we just have to worry about the rage of Brooke when she wakes up."
"Yeah, well… that's a mountain we'll climb when we get to it," she stated calmly as she started to trudge up the grassy slope.

"I can't believe them!" I shouted out in frustration. "They put me to sleep!" I was so angry that I wanted to kill the nearest thing with a blunt edge of a sword. I grasped a fistful of my hair and gave it a tug. "Un-freakin-believable…" I growled as I sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Lady Brooke, are you alright?"
I slowly turned my head in the direction of the voice. My eyes come to rest on the form of the Bevellian Fayth. He smiled slightly in my direction before he started walking towards me. I sighed heavily as I responded with an indifferent, "Yeah, I'm fine." He continued to walk towards me, not responding to my words. I turned my head back toward the front as I murmured, "Just a little ticked off that they put me to sleep like that."
"Did you honestly think that they would allow you to run into a situation such as that," the purple-cloaked Fayth questioned. He laughed when I shot him my patented, 'I get it, I'm wrong, but if you think I'll voice that, you're crazy' look. "Lady Brooke, they only wish the best for you, and to run into a fight like that…" He shook his head as he changed the topic of conversation. "Regardless, we need to discuss a few things."
I closed my eyes tightly and groaned internally. There was always something that needed to be discussed. "What is it now?" I altered my voice to sound mystical and distant as I said, "Beware the darkness, he is not who he seems to be, your shoe is untied?" I shot him an incredulous look. "Every time I'm knocked out I have to 'learn' something new."
"I understand your feelings, Lady Brooke. But, I'm not going to teach you anything." I gave him another skeptical look. "I will, though, give you advice. Now, we have been observing you on your travels."
I raised an eyebrow as he spoke and muttered, "That's a little more than creepy."
He ignored my comments and continued speaking. "We believe that you have the power to control that darkness that lays dormant within you."
I choked on air when he said that. Is he out of his mind? "You want me to try and control something that's taken over me twice already? Are you mad?" I shrieked.
"Please understand, I would not be advising this if I did not think it was possible," he spoke gently, regardless of my frantic expression and loud answers. "You just need to concentrate and focus."
'He is crazy,' I thought as I looked him over a few times. "I assure you, Brooke, I am not crazy," he said as if he was reading my mind.
I looked at him curiously. 'No… he didn't just…' I let an exasperated sigh escaped my mouth. "How am I supposed to focus and concentrate when people keep… keep…argh… MIND RAPING ME? " I screamed out. You know, when I started this I didn't think it was possible, but I found something I dislike more than Zanarkand. The fact that people can come and go in my mind displeases me more than the thought of that machina city that destroyed everything for me.
He bowed his head as he said, "I apologize, Lady Brooke.. However, that too you can overcome. See, it is simple for others to enter your mind, merely because you have no set up any barriers to your thoughts, most people don't… but if you wish to block others out, inquire to Lady Crystal about the subject, she can help you." He paused and looked at my face. He either read my mind or was good at reading facial expression because he furthers his explanation. "She is very wise in her age. Do not hesitate to make useful her knowledge."
"Uhm, sure…" I said slowly, nodding my head as I spoke.
"Please, Brooke, try to harness that power, you'll be needing it," he advised. I watched as his image slowly became transparent as he faded away. "Be good, Lady Brooke."

I woke with a start. I sat up abruptly and searched the surrounding area with my eyes. I grew anxious; as I didn't recognize the area I was in. It was pretty dark and I was having trouble seeing. However, my anxieties left me as my eyes laid on the familiar form of Auron sleeping besides me. "Well… that's one good thing," I muttered as I stood from the ground. I stretched my arms over my head before I walked out into the open.
Once I was out from under the little awning, I looked around. There were just countless miles of grass, everywhere. My lip twitched as I continued to scour the area. Nothing, just… grass… everywhere. "And this must be the wonderful and exquisite Calm Lands…" I said with as much sarcasm as possible.
I sauntered away from the sleeping area and out further into the plains. I ran my hands up and down my arms as a chill swept over me. The night was brisk and this sleeveless shirt wasn't doing much to keep me warm. 'Concentrate and focus…' That's all there is to it? "Alright, let's try this…" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of air. I tried to focus on the 'task at hand.' I stayed this way for a few minutes… nothing happened. I sighed and opened my eyes. "What am I supposed to do exactly!" I asked out loud.
I closed my eyes again and tried once more. Again, the same outcome… nothing happened. "What the hell am I doing wrong?" I said, irritation running through my words. "Let's try this once more…" I said to calm myself slightly. Once more I repeated my prior actions. When nothing happened. "WHAT THE HELL?" I yelled at I threw my hand into the air. As I brought my hands back down, I felt a hot sensation running along my arms, until a black and indigo ball of energy burst out from the palms of my hands into the rock wall that surrounded the Calm Lands. I gaped at the hole left by my attack.
"Well, that wasn't nice, what did that wall ever do to you?"
I spun on my heels and squinted into the darkness. It took me a few minutes to distinguish the figure of Crystal. "I… uh, I'm not sure… how I just did that…" I stuttered out, still amazed by what I just did. I turned my attention back to the wall.
She nodded her head slowly and walked towards me. "Well, what did you do before it happened?" I then explained to her about how I tried a few times to 'concentrate and focus' my energy and how nothing happened until I grew angry. "Have you tried to focus your anger into an attack?" she asked when I finished speaking.
"Uh… no… should I?" I asked, immediately feeling stupid for even asking such a thing. She didn't' comment, instead she just nodded her head and took a few steps back away from me. 'Alright… anger…' I closed my eyes again and thought back to an unpleasant time for me. Immediately the idea of Seymour falsely accusing me of treason jumped into my head. I groaned as I felt this overwhelming sensation run through my body. I focused the feeling into my hands and I could feel a burning sensation begin to form in my hands. When I felt like I wouldn't be able to hold onto the power any longer, I let out a cry as I released the energy, sending it slamming into the wall before me.
Pieces of rock flew in every direction when the hit made contact. The hole was substantially larger than the last one. I turned my head and glanced over my shoulder towards the brunette that was lightly clapping her hands together. "Well, Brooke, I must say that was impressive." She lifted her hand to her chin and looked at me for a few minutes before she said, "I wonder… do you think you'd be able to concentrate the energy in your hands, but without releasing it." When I gave her a look that said 'WHAT!' she elaborated. "It would prove useful. If ever you're unarmed, your punch would hold more power."
"Oh…" I said slowly. I took a few steps back and looked down at my hands. "I could, uhm… try to." I closed my eyes again and concentrated on gathering my anger at my hands. Slowly, but surely I could feel my energy building up there. I bit my lower lip and held my eyes closed tightly as the burning sensation intensified. I could feel the sweat begin to gather on my brow as I desperately held onto the energy.
"Open your eyes," she instructed. Gradually, I opened my eyes. I glanced down at my hands. They were engulfed in black and indigo flames. My eyes went slightly wide when it clicked in my head, that my hands were… engulfed in black and indigo flames.
"Yevon!" I called out as I waved my hands frantically in the air. Crystal immediately jumped down to the floor as blasts of energy flew in every direction, until the flames went out. I looked around and smiled sheepishly when I realized what I did. "Whoops?" I said as I scratched the back of my head. Crystal gave me a stern look at she stood from the ground. There were numerous holes scattered in the area. They were in the wall, the ground, pretty much anywhere and everywhere. "Sorry?"
"Yeah, yeah," she said as she dusted her dress off. "Just don't let it happen again." She grabbed my wrist roughly and shoved my hand in my face. "You were harnessing power in your hands. That will only hurt others, not you," she informed she as she gave me another austere look. "So next time, do not freak out. Or you could hurt someone severely." She locked eyes with me as she spoke in a grave tone, "Understand?" I nodded my head as she released her grip on my wrist. "Good. Now… do it again."
"Ok," I said meekly as I scampered back away from her. I took a deep breath of air before I once again tried to concentrate the energy into my hands…
We had spent the next hour doing that, and by the end of that little session, I was practically spent. I fell to the floor, panting heavily. I was covered in sweat and completely drained of energy. I wanted nothing more than to curl up into a little ball and go to sleep. I looked up at the brunette, who was smiling down at me. "Crystal…" I took a deep breath of air. "Can I ask you something?"
She shrugged her shoulders as she took a knee before me. "I don't see why not, I pretty much tormented you for the past forty-fives minutes, I guess I can answer a question," she said in a half joking manner.
I half smiled as I wiped the sweat from my brow. "The Fayth… they told me to ask you how I could, set up barriers in my mind?" I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her, hoping that should understood what I was trying to say and luckily I think she did.
She sat before me and nodded her head. "Yes, I can help you do that. But in the morning," she motioned over to where I had awoken. "You need to rest now," she waved her hand over my body, casting a curative spell over me, somewhat regenerating my energies. "When you have more energy I'll help you do that." I nodded and shakily got up from the ground. Slowly and carefully, I made my way over towards the resting area. By the time I got there, I was so overcome with fatigue that I pretty much collapsed in a heap besides Auron and fell into a state of unconsciousness.

I awoke a few hours later to the sun caressing my face. I groaned as I rolled over onto my stomach, burying my face in my arms. "If you wish to learn to keep safe your thoughts, you should get up now."
I made an unintelligible sound as I lifted my head. A shadow was cast over me and I squinted so I could see the face of Crystal. "Do I have to?"
"No, but I'll do this training no other time," she stated as she stepped to the side letting the sunlight pour onto my face once more. I groaned as I quickly closed my eyes and covered my face with my hands. Eventually. I got to my feet and followed her out into the open field. I was still in my dazed sleep mood, so when she stopped walking… I walked right into her. She looked at me sternly before saying, "Now, clear your mind."
Now, the minute she said that I thought, 'This is stupid.' She then glared at me. I rolled me eyes and thought, 'Don't tell me. You can read my mind too, right?" I watched her as she nodded her head slowly. I sighed in aggravation before I tried to clear my mind. However, the more I tried to think of nothing, the more I thought about everything.
"Well, I can see you have an overactive mind," she said as she rapped my upside the head. "I don't know whether or not I should be surprised," she remarked as a smirk crossed her features.
I rubbed my head and gave her a dry look as I said, "Sorry if I was bombarded with a million things and don't have time to think things over." I found myself growing slightly angry as she laughed. "And just what is so funny?" I demanded as I placed my hands on my hips.
She shook her head, completely dismissing my question. "Now, since you can't clear your mind of your going to have to focus your mind on one specific thing." I ran a hand through my hair as I waited for her to elaborate. "For example, last night. Your mind was so in focus. Lady Brooke, it is easy for a person to get into a mind that has a lot of activity going on at once. The key thing is that you need to sort things out in your mind. The less confusion, the less likely you are going to experience some kind violation of your privacy."
I let my arms drop to my sides as I inhaled deeply. 'This may take a while…'
888
"Ok, Lady Brooke, I won't torment you any longer," she said with a smile. "As of right now, I am unable to hear your thoughts," she shrugged her shoulders as she continued, "Though I probably could if I tried a little harder…" She laughed at my facial expression before she said, "I assure you, milady, I won't do it now." She waved her hand in the direction of the post. "Go eat. We're finished here."
I grinned and practically hopped to the outpost. I was excited about getting some nourishment in my system. As I was purchasing some supplies and food, I heard a familiar male voice behind me, "It couldn't be… Ms. Brooke Rassi?" I turned my body around to see the smiling face of the blond Al Bhed that I had been traveling with not to long ago. "Well, if it isn't little Miss Disappear-into-the-night herself!" He took a few quick steps towards me before pulling me into an embrace.
I half smiled as I said, "Hey, Gippal…"
"We were worried about you." He pulled back and held me at arms length and looked me over before he mussed my hair. He laughed as I jumped back away from him, smoothed my hair and glared at him. "I'm liking this new look of yours," he said with an approving nod.
"I got them from Praetor Baralai," I responded before taking a bite out of the food I was holding. He raised an eyebrow, sending me a questioning glance. I shrugged my shoulder as I stated, "It's a long story."
"Hey, the others are here…" he started as he tried to gain eye contact with me. I avoided the gaze of his jade eyes and looked at the floor. "It would be great if you came to let them know you didn't die…"
I moved my gaze to over my shoulder to where Crystal was 'discussing' something with Auron. I laughed mentally as she raised her hand like she was ready to hit him. "Alright…" I muttered lowly as I turned back to him. He smiled brightly as he took my hand and led me away from the outpost. "Uhm… I'm sorry about worrying you all…"
"Hey, you're alright, so that's all that matters," he said as he continued to partially drag me towards the others. I kind of dragged behind him since I wasn't enthused by the idea of explaining why I ran away. "They aren't mad, if that's why you're dragging your feet…"
"Oh… alright…" I said, trying to keep my voice even. No matter if they were mad or not, I was still nervous. Have you ever done something wrong and although the person said they weren't mad, you were still dreading having to face them because if they weren't mad, you were kind of upset with yourself? Yeah, that's kind of to a degree of what I feel right now. I still feel bad for running away like that, without so much as a goodbye. I mean the last thing I said was 'Got to take a piss, I'll be back.' Some farewell. I slapped myself mentally.
As we got closer to the group, I realized none of them were looking in this direction. If I wanted to I could knock down Gippal and make a break for it. "Hey Guys! Look who I found!" 'Or… not…' Ok, well time to face the music.
The three of them turned around to face Gippal. "Gippal, if it is another on of your x-girlfriends…" Shuyin trailed off when his eyes wandered over to me. All three sets of eyes were on me, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable. I shifted from foot to foot before I gave them all a shy wave and meekly greeted, "Hi guys…"
Silence hung heavy as they all stared at me like I was some kind of caged fiend. Which, coincidentally, I felt like. This is one of those moments you desperately want to find a hole in which you can crawl into and hope to die. It was only a few minutes before someone said something, but it felt like an eternity. "Brooke?" I nodded my head. Vincent looked at me strangely before he continued, "Why did you leave that day?"
"Uhm…" I shifted uncomfortable. I knew I was going to be asked this and yet, I still wasn't ready with an answer. With luck on my side, there was a distraction to our left, however, my luck is never that good. This was exemplified when we realized the distraction was… "Zanarkand." I stated as I straightened my back. There was a small group of soldiers making their way from Mt. Gagazet into the Calm Lands. I took a few small steps back and muttered, "Shit."
Instinctively, everyone's hands moved to where they kept their weapons and watched the troops intently as they grew closer. When they reached us, they halted their march. The leader looked us over before stating in a stentorian tone, "Identify yourselves, civilians."
Vincent stepped forward; taking charged and said in a loud clear-cut voice, "We are merely just a group of vagabonds, just wishing to see the world of Spira first hand."
The soldier looked over all of us. I don't think he was too willing to believe that story, but he had no reason not to. He looked about ready to leave when his eyes rested on me. He stared at me, and I knew immediately that this was going to be a problem. "Who are you?" he questioned.
"Brooke," I stated. I figured that if they already knew who I was, so there really was no point in lying. I hoped they wouldn't, but as you know, I don't have that kind of luck.
"Brooke Rassi?" I hesitantly nodded my head. He unlatched something that resembled handcuffs from his belt and said, "We have been ordered to take you into custody the moment of sight. So," he took a step towards me, "You are to come with us."
I shook my head as I took a few steps back. "Uhm… no thanks. I just came from Bevelle…"
"This isn't a request. It's an order," he informed me as he reached out his arm.
Gippal and Vincent quickly took a step in front of me. "She is going no where," Vincent said sternly, his hands hovering dangerously close to his guns. He narrowed his eyes and waited for the soldiers next move.
Gippal took this time to steal a glance towards me and whisper fiercely, "Run."
"No," I said as I shook my head, "I'm not going to run from this." I moved my hands down to my waist, grasping the handles of my daggers. I unlatched them and twirled them in my hands. "This is my battle, ya know?"
"Where there is one small group of Zanarkand soldiers," the green-eyed blond started.
"There is a whole mess of them following," the brunette girl standing off to my right finished quickly. Then as if on queue the ground began to shake slightly, and the roar of some Machina was heard. I looked up towards the place where the Calm Lands lie adjacent to Mt. Gagazet. A swarm of Zanarkand soldiers was pouring into the grassy plains. My eyes widened with a mixture of fear and excitement. I could feel my blood begin to pump more ferociously as Lenne placed her hand on my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. "Brooke, we can hold them off for you to escape, but… if you stay here, we won't be able to protect you." I went to protest and she immediately placed a hand over my mouth. "Don't. You can't save Spira if your captured and killed. Now, GO!"
Taken aback by the sudden forceful tone of the brunette's voice, I immediately spun on my heels and took off back towards the outpost. I could hear people shouting behind me, to 'not let me escape at any cost.' I tried to ignore it and keep running, but ignoring it wasn't going to do me any good when a hovercraft and a motorize bike started to pursue me. "Oh, shit…" I muttered to myself as I glanced towards the approaching machina. They easily caught up and pulled up in front of me, barring my path towards where Auron and Crystal were. I stopped short, almost falling over myself before I tried to make a break to the left.
One of the soldiers on the hovercraft jumped off and grabbed my arm. Feeling like a cat backed into a corner, I swung my arm around, yielding my dagger. The sharp point of my dagger made its way into the side of the soldier. The pain caused him to jump back, crying out in pain as I ripped my dagger from his abdomen. I didn't even give the others a second look before I took off running again. I was feet away from the outpost when someone came from behind, tackling me to the ground. "AURON!" I screamed out. This only resulted in the soldier placing his grimy hand over my mouth. Not being able to reach him with one of my daggers, I did the only other logical thing there was to do. I bit down on the flesh of his hand, and hard. The minute his hand left my mouth I screamed out again. "AURON! CRYSTAL! FOR THE LOVE OF YEVON! HELP!"
This time I got a response; within seconds both Auron and Crystal were in my line of view. They looked around at what was going on before they sprinted towards me. Unfortunately for me, I don't think that previous soldier was all too fond of having his hand bitten down on because quite abruptly, my face became acquainted with the ground. I closed my eyes as a slight pain shot through my head. "Leave her alone!" Crystal called out as a firaga spell shot out at the soldier on top of me. The minute the pressure from his body was lifted I stood and made a beeline for my two traveling partners. "Brooke, are you ok?"
I waved my hand, ignoring her question. "Problems, Vincent, Gippal," I pointed in the direction where I had come from. "We have to help them," I stated firmly as I looked her in the eyes. "They were my friends and they are trying to protect me, I can't let anything happen to them."
She nodded understandingly, "I know, but you and Auron should leave. Make haste, get onto Gagazet."
I looked at her incredulously. Is she out of her mind? "I'm not leaving you either." I stared fiercely into her brown eyes. If she thought I was going to leave my friends here to fight the people I was destined to face she was crazier than me. She shook her head and started to sprint toward the left, away from the soldiers. I looked at Auron who seemed just confused as I was. He shrugged his shoulders at me, which just resulted in me making a mad dash after the cracked brunette. "Crystal, what in the name of Yevon are you doing?" She was nearing the end of the plains. You know, the part with the giant chasm. I figured I'd finally be able to catch up with her and ask her what got into her head, but… that didn't happen. My eyes widened in horror as she leapt off the edge into the chasm. "CRYSTAL!" I shrieked as I collapsed at the edge of the cliff.
However, what I saw now, frightened me a bit more than her jumping off the cliff. There was a pair of wings protruding from her back, wrapped around her. I watched as a bright light slowly engulfed her body. "What the hell?" I muttered to myself as I slowly got to me feet. I stared in awe as I watched her body begin to gradually transform. "Holy … shit…" I muttered as I about faced and sprinted back to Auron. "AURON! WE'RE LEAVING NOW!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I neared him.
He gave me an inquiring look, but I paid no mind to it, as I grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the mountain. "Brooke, what are you doing?" He asked in a stentorian voice as he stumbled along besides me. "What happened to Crystal?"
I didn't even have the chance to answer because before I could answer, a loud roar was heard from behind us. We both stopped running and slowly turned our heads in the direction of the disruption. Emerging from the chasm was an enormous gray dragon. Her wings seemed to span about 35 feet, and stood at a staggering 20 something feet. She spun in the air before she started her flight towards us, her brown eyes narrowed to slits. The dragon let out an ear-popping roar before sending a ball of fire into the center of a congregated group of soldiers. I swallowed hard before I said in a whisper, "That happened…"
