Chapter 10

Kael

The next morning was terrible; a freezing rain had caught them and by the time they entered a sheltered alcove, they were soaked to the skin. Wakka decided to make a bonfire despite the monsters lurking nearby watching and waiting. Everyone sat near the fire, drying themselves while Kael went around giving everyone, including himself, a liquid remedy to prevent colds.

Lulu was in such a bad state that she began to pile her fire spells into the campfire. Every time she said burn, a sudden chillness ran through their spines. The blaze began to grow hotter until Wakka interrupted Lulu's bad mood.

"Sweetie? Um…could you rest a bit? You're wasting your mp." Wakka asked as he cast ether onto her hoping she wouldn't burn him. Lulu growled a bit but obeyed.

Kael had nothing else to do so he brought Brotherhood out. Rikku too began looking at it until all eyes were on the weapon. Yuna stared at Kael and watched as his fingers traced the edge.

"Don't cut yourself, Kael." Yuna warned.

"I won't…geez, you act like my mother." Kael retorted. Yuna shut up and watched as he accidentally cut his thumb, "What did I tell you? Here." Yuna said and threw him a potion.

"It's only a little cut. Nothing to worry about." Kael said as he hid the potion into his pouch. Several minutes passed before conversation picked up again.

"You'll be able to unlock da next overdrive if ya keep using the one ya got. The next one's called `Slice & Dice' a very good attack against fiends." Wakka said. Kael nodded his thanks. It was already way past midnight when everyone else went to sleep. Kael said he would take watch and add more wood onto the fire if its flames burnt too low. All was serene…

Yuna awoke again from a nightmare she had, Seymour was about to kill her…so were all the people of Spira. Hundreds beyond hundreds of people came at her and they kept saying that this was her fate! It was almost dawn when Yuna sat up and looked up to find Kael still awake looking at Brotherhood. She watched his face slowly gaze upon the shimmering blue, the same blue that her beloved Tidus wove. She then noticed something very peculiar as the flames aura danced upon his face. His eyes were normal! The spiral that all Al Bhed had was gone! This was all confusing! She quietly got up and walked over to him and saw him jump when she sat down beside him.

"Tell me about yourself, Kael." Yuna demanded, yet gently. Kael seemed to relax a bit but he was still tense.

"I am Kael, I have no last name, nor do I know my real parents. Kael means water born, it is a name tattooed across my chest in ancient writing," Kael sighed, "The writing of Yu Yevon… My adoptive mother found me on a beach in the Sanubia desert beaches. Her name was Myra; she was a healer and prophet. Myra told me she was already waiting for me." Said Kael. Yuna had so many questions for him, but Kael began again.

"Myra raised me as an Al Bhed, and taught me the use of illusion. That is how my eyes are spirals and when I'm not concentrating, they are the same blue as the sea. She told me many things…she told me I would one day find my parents and honor them." Kael said and then chuckled, "She told me that I was older then her. That I was a thousand years old! She said that on her deathbed, when the Tar virus caught her. I say she was seeing things, um delirious you can say. Ah but that's old news."

"Can I see that tattoo?" Yuna inquired eagerly. Kael hesitated for a second but took his jacket off. There in black blue print was an ancient script, only four letters long. Yet Yuna couldn't decode them into her language. She instinctively traced her fingers across the black colors and stopped.

"I'm sorry, it's just so fascinating." Yuna apologized.

"Don't worry I get that a lot. My mother, I mean Myra used to do that a lot too when she used to bathe me." Kael said and blushed at his outburst. Yuna laughed at his last statement.

"Get some rest. I'll watch for the next three hours." Yuna said and Kael nodded willingly. Yuna watched him hurry to his mat and curl up into the blankets.

The group started out again after their restful stay. Everyone seemed cheerful except for poor Lulu. Her moods were constantly changing, stressing poor Wakka to his limits. Yuna giggled as she saw Wakka point and mutter angrily to Lulu's belly, trying to reprimand the baby! If only she could be a mother…but her fate was different. She was to live her life after she said goodbye to Tidus. Find an honest man, and have a family, and finally rule Spira the way she was supposed to.

As they entered the remnants of what was left of the dreaming Fayth. Her eyes hungrily scanned the vicinity, searching for a clue, a hint. Yet Yuna found nothing, but drained bodies of the dead Fayth. Sighing for a hundredth time she began her trek toward Zanarkand's Ruins. They passed the sparkling lagoon below them and past bodies of Zanarkand's dead. Everyone seemed quiet; paying their respects to the aeons that helped them defeat Yu Yevon. Yuna watched as Kael traced his fingertips across the stone like bodies. It seemed to fascinate him…Yuna thought as she walked up net to him.

"I have seen them in my dreams. This is where I am suppose to meet my parents…" Kael whispered without looking at her. Yuna knew he was eager and hoped he would find what he was looking for.

"May your dreams come true…" Yuna answered back.
