The Ninety-ninth Sacrifice:

A prequel to Final Fantasy X

Jessica Noel Jeffery

The pilgrimage …

A continent torn asunder.

A world caught

in a cycle of death and sorrow.

The people look to others

to save them from this horror.

These people are summoners, and the horror is known as Sin.

Only the brave few stand to fight this horror, and only one can succeed.

Anyone can begin the journey, but only the strongest and most selfless can achieve their goal. There are many driving forces behind this pilgrimage, most of all hope to forever end the sadness of Sin.
