Chapter 23
Jay slammed into the ground. She gurmbled as she got up. "ow..." she mumbled. They were back in Junon. "we made it!" Zack said as he got up. Emria ran up to jay. "Ar eyou allright?" She asked.
"Im fine mom. a little dizzy, but im fine." Jay said. The Saregant walked up. "What was in there?" He asked. Jay looked at him.
"anothe rworld. Seemed to be recovering from some sort of monster." Zak said. the Saregant rubbed his chin. "Hmm. What with all the shit going on around the world, it wouldnt surprise me. thanks for that little investigation. We'll clean up here." He walked away to tend to a wounded soldier. Sare stood up and stretched. "C'mon. Lets go get our chocobos and get out of here."
"Sure. lets go." Zack replied. and so they did.
Jay awoke in the middle of the night again for training. She looked around. they were on a boat, heading for costa del sol. They had gotten on it earlier that day. "up, dressed, and go to the top deck" Sephiroth said.
Must i? She asked.
"look at it this way... you coud get a wing if you train well enough." Sephiroth said. Jay was up those stairs pretty fast when he said that. Jay looked at the masmaune as she drew it out. "You know how to do a draw slash. but sometimes you wont have the range to do that. Im going to teach you how to increase the strength of your attacks." Sephiroth said. Jay nodded.
I'm ready. Jay thought.
"We shall see." Sephiroth suddenly leapt into the air, sephiroth guiding her movmeents, so as to demonstrate what to do. She concentrated, and swung the masamune. A small wave of fire lifted form the blade as it swung. Jay fell and landed. She then fellt contorl return to her body.
"Repeat." Sephiroth said bluntly. Jay nodded, leapt and swung. No flames. She tried three times before getting it right. As she landed again, she saw somehting in the distance. it looked like a realy big... bird. "Whats that?" Jay aske dherelf quietly. As it got closer, she realised it was a Zuu. A large burdlike creature. Bigger then humans thats for sure. almostas big as a nieblheim dragon!
Jay gulped as it soared overhead. "It isnt attacking?" she watched as it soared away.
"It is merely hunting for fish. Its part of their diet." Sephiroth said.
Oh good. Jay thought. Jay Whiped her brow. Sephiroth continue to show he different ways of using the masamune for attacks, techniques, blocks, all sorts of maneuvers. Finally, she stumbled back to her room aboard the boat, collapsed, and fell asleep on the spot.
She dream that night. Of going home to nieblheim, of meeting friends, And spending time with them. Especially time with Sare. They laughed all dream long. Enjoying jokes, games, and each others company. How she wished for this day to come...
