Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Eva watched as Saina and Maximus worked off each other, almost fluently as they tag teamed fiends that came at them. It was interesting as they only met a few days before, but the two most serious people of the group did work well together. While they fought she casted some protect and shell spells over everyone, just in case. though by the end it didn't seem worth it as all of them were very accomplished fighters. Especially Urick, who had wrestled a Behemoth back at Besaid and won.

Though Saina and Maximus did most of the work, a few did managed to slip through as Gippal and Urick took care of them. She was starting to feel that she had the best guardians in the business...as they all were amazing fighters, that she didn't even have to worry about being attacked.

She couldn't help but feel that she had the strangest feeling that she had been here before.The Hymn of the Fayth was soothing and seemed to pluck at an old memory that was behind a white veil of clouds. As they reached the chamber of the Fayth...she knew for a fact she had seen this door before.

Looking over to Saina as she mentioned she would not join her inside the chamber at this time...she glanced to Gippal, who only gave her a nod as if saying the same through his confident warm red eyes. She nodded a few times and took a breath. "OK." She said as she squared her shoulders and walked up the stairs to the door. It opened at her prescience and as she walked through it closed just as fast. The song was loud, and verburated through her entire being...it actually gave her strength...and made her very very weak and tired at the same time at being at the source of the song.

As she took the final steps to the large carving of the Fayth, it glowed brightly of the soul of the one who sacrificed himself to become a weapon to fight sin. Before she could pray however, a man suddenly was standing infront of her, formed out of pyreflies. Eva... he said as if he already knew her.

Eva looked confused at his tone, but before she could say anything he continued, "You and your group are the only ones that can defeat Thane...stop him, before he manages to complete what he started so long ago. Complete what you had started so long ago as well..."

She wanted to ask what he meant, But it was as if he didn't want to reveal any answers she wanted. You already know I've accepted you as my summoner.... Was all he said, before he vanished again.

"WAIT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!" She reached out, as if she could even grab him and hold him to this plane of existance. But just as fast as he appeared, he was gone again. Feeling more confused as she was before she came, she didn't understand how he was acting like he already knew of her... like she was here before. Well she did feel like she was, but she still couldn't remember. Trying to think, about it, it only made her more confused...and the more she spent there....the more she grew tired and weak. Perhaps she should head back out before she fell asleep and made teh others worry.

It had been about ten minutes since she went in. But when she walked out, she put a tired smile on her face. "Well...Two Aeons...lets head to Macalania temple..."

I'm SOO SOO SOO SORRY had family come into town and work was stressful. I'll post tonight I swear! *pleasedonthateme* >_<

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Eva dragged both Urick and Gippal behind her back to the temple, fairly quickly not wanting Saina or Maximus to wait for them much longer. She couldn't help but feel giddy. Her child hood dream coming true...at least she thought it was...with a group of close friends, Looking back at Gippal and Urick with a hint of a blush on her face seeing them. She honestly couldn't believe with what happened in this last few years, and how she could ever meet such amazing men, and now their friends Alex and Naisha, and Saina and Maximus.

She came into view of Saina and Maximus walking up the stairs to the cloister of trails and yelled. "HEY!" She stopped suddenly and let go of Gippal and Urick's hands as they went up to her lips and her face turned red as a rose, filled with embarrassment. _"Sorry..." she said as she looked at a priest who had turned to her and shushed her. She quickly ran up the stairs to Saina and said in a normal voice, still bright red in the face "I'm supposed to do this with you all." She said with a smile before slipping a strand piece of hair that fell in front of her face over her ear and took a deep breath, pushing the doors open and walking inside.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Gippal looked over to Maximus as he asked what was eating at him with a queer look and shook his head, "Nothing." Quickly as he didn't want to talk about it. He looked down at Eva and smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Eva looked at him with squinty eyes and her lips pursed. She finally let the air out of her lungs with a sigh before shaking her head and looking to Maximus and answering his earlier question. "Ehhhh..." Her eyes closed as she grew slightly embarrased and had a nervous smile slowly appear on her lips. "I... Don't know. I can't explain why I did...it's a bit confusing. MORE SO now that I am able to walk around now fine in the city. All I can say was I was deathly afraid of this place.... Which is weird, I don't know why I am."

She let a nervous chuckle out and quickly changed the subject as they neared the temple's steps. "Anywho! I wonder what Saina is going to cook."

Gippal watched Eva, pushing his other thoughts of Alex and Nai out of his mind as she answered Maximus. Despite her not being able to walk about to find answers, no one in the village seemed to know her the last time he was here asking for her. Yet with such a strong reaction to this place, there had to be more to the story.

His stomach growled at the mention of food...realizing he didn't eat at all since the night before. "I don't care...as long as it's good." He said with a smile. "I could go for some meat though."

Eva looked at him as his stomach growled and giggled. "You always eat meat, never any greens. I'm going to tell her to make a salad!"

Gippal scowled, "I would die."

As they stopped at the steps, Maximus even though he was tired from the day and didn't have any sleep, he decided to go to the trials, so when everyone was done eating they could go directly to the Fayth and quickly get off this island before anything else bad would happem.

"Well I'm going to go ahead and clear the trials for everyone...We've had a rough first day for our journey, you two should relax. Ill meet back up with you at Eva's room." Maximus said, and with out waiting for a response he started up the steps

Gippal looked at him funny, but shrugged. If he wanted to do it he had no qualms with it.

Eva looked at Maximus as he suddenly decided to leave them. With a frown she nodded and said, "Maximus! You don't have to, we can do it together!" Not that she wanted to do it herself as of the moment, but she didn't want him to think she was ok with not doing the work. She moved to the stairs when Maximus turned back around.

"You need to take it easy for the day, Let me make it easier for you Lady Eva." Maximus said quickly before going up the stairs again.



Slightly confused on why he was wanting to do it when it was tradition for the Summoner to do it with her Guardians. She opened her mouth to protest but sighed, giving up the thought. He was right She was tired, and it's not like the religion was true, after hearing the story of what really happened from Gippal... This wasn't a normal Pilgramage. Pushing the thoughts from her mind she looked at Gippal as he didn't move forward. "What's up?" She asked as she placed her hands infront of her and held her left wrist with her right hand.

Gippal looked at her and gave a small smile. Looking to the bench near by he nodded his head to it and said, "Let's sit down and relax for a minute." Gently touching her arm and leading her to the bench. As they sat he sighed, looking up at the sky for a moment before looking to her and asked. "How are you feeling?"

Eva smiled as he touched her arm and lead her to the bench, unlike him as he leaned back looking at the sky, she sat with perfect posture and watched him. When he looked at her and asked how she felt she smiled. Blushing slightly as she answered, "I'm doing better. Sorry about freaking out again..."

Gippal shook his head and placed his hand on her's "You don't have to say that. I'm just glad your ok now. I hate to see you crying..." He said as he looked at her. " I told you, we will find out your past, and this is a good lead. We will take it slow though, at your pace."

Eva smiled as he held her hand, blushing as he did, wishing he would do this more often. She suddenly realized he was talking and had missed the first half. Nodding in thanks she said, "Thanks, I'm glad you are here to help me." She wanted so badly to kiss him right now....to really show how much she was greatful for him.

He smiled and pulled his hand back and leaned back on the bench once more. Looking to the trees in front of them." Nah, I'm the one who's glad to be here with you. You definatly brighten up the days of the last two years, I should be the one thanking you."

Eva's cheeks reddened even more, her hands wringing part of her dress on her lap as she didn't know what to say. She brightened his days? Her heart beated at what seem like a million beats per second. "I...I do?"

He looked back at her. "Yes of course..." His smile went away as he then added, "You don't realize how much we worried about you when you went off on your own...and missed you." He said, his cheeks reddening slightly. He looked away, the inner conflict rising of his feelings... for Nai and Eva. He cared deeply for both...though he hardly showed it. It was hard.... it was with these two women that he had a hard time showing his love for...he probbably didn't want to screw it up....but he tend to do so anyways.

She gave a sad smile at his words, she was happy he missed her....but sad that she made him worry. She knew she shouldnt have left them...she felt like a burden sometimes to Gippal and Urick. But coming back and seeing them jump right back into where they left off. "I... I'm sorry." She looked forward as he turned away, allowing the sounds of the animals in the jungle to surround them. She scooted closer to Gippal, trying to be discreet as she did so. Shifting her legs just slightly enough to slightly to be even that much closer to him.

"It's ok, at least I know you're safe now." He said as he felt her move closer, Glancing over to her he smiled. Shifting his arm behind her back and gripping the edge of the bench behind her, as she leaned into his shoulder. There they sat, as Eva grew more at ease with Gippal by her side.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Sorry! SORRY! SORRY!

Short post I know....

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Eva wiggled in her spot, barely able to contain her school girl giggle as she watched Saina try and hide her face discretely as she turned around and scratched her cheek. She gripped her hands and covered her mouth for a moment before she calmed down. This was great for Urick, who never had someone, like him like him. There were alot of girls who went for his looks, but didn't care what he had to say....where Saina seemed to be opposite. Yeah it was weird, it was only a day or so since they met, but that was one thing she noticed about herself...she made good friends almost instantly with anyone she wanted.

She watched as the two walked away as she then spun on her toes and looked to Maximus and Gippal. After a moment she smiled and walked to them, placing her hands on their arms and pulled them till they followed. Gippal was still bummed, Maximus, as silent as ever. She sighed, thinking on what to do or say to get them to talk. She looked to Maximus and asked, "So... where did you grow up Maximus?"

They entered the jungle path finally, the sounds of the village slowly dimmed and died off.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

"Shoopuffs don't make very good steaks." Eva paused in mid step as she heard Saina's very serious voice, She cocked her head slightly with a confused/not buying it look, her eyes fell upon her. Eva smiled at Saina as she realized she was saying a joke and laughed even more at the perfect timing of her sentence.

"Gippal, while you were dealing with our friend's incarceration I went ahead and picked up some ingredients to have a proper meal. I placed them with Mercu..."

Eva stopped as well as she watched Saina, realizing the chocobo was not with them as well. She looked back from where they came and stood on her tipy toes, though that hardly helped as she was so short. S

"Mercury?" Eva stayed quiet as she called out to her chocobo.
"Mercury!"

After a few moments of silence, Saina let out a soft 'hmm...' while Eva touched her finger to her lips, still looking around in hopes to see if she could find him.

"Odd... usually he doesn't wander off that far."

As Saina looked back to the group, she then said to them.

"Go on ahead, I will see if I can track down exactly where my chocobo went."

She looked to all the group and turned away, trying to hide her face with the raised shoulder. Eva lost all her memories. But by Yevon she knew who she was hiding her face from, A mischievous smile came to Eva's lips. She ran over to Saina and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Saina wait!" She moved around so she was facing the group, while Saina was still faced away. Narrowing her eyes just slightly at her guardian. "You are not going alone." She said softly with a twinkle in her eye. Looking over to Urick. It was so clear that they liked each other. Urick, though he was handsome and adorable while shy, it also meant he didn't really have someone to talk to besides Gippal. Even with her she didn't get much out of him. She also wanted Saina to make some more friends. A few minutes ago it was clear, she was not liked at all by Alex, and surely didn't get any points with Nai telling her to leave.

She was worried about Alex and Nai of course... but she didn't know them as well...well not that she knew Saina any better. But these last two days have been insane...perhaps once she made it back to the ship she could try and talk to Alex and Nai, maybe bridge the gap that was quickly dividing them from the group. But now....she could make sure at least two guardians could become closer... and maybe help Urick find someone like hopefully...she found in Gippal.

While she was thinking this she had looked to the ground, but her eyes snapped back up and Asked, "Urick? Can you please go with Saina?" Her eyes rested on Urick for a moment before going back to Saina. "I don't want any of my guardians to go off alone, in case something happens. OK?"
