{Wakka} Hey! Sleepyhead! --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Something I want to give you. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Tidus} Whoa! You're giving this...to me? --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Yeah, use it well! --------------------------------------------------End-- {Lulu} That's the sword you gave {Chappu}. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Well, he never used it. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Where's {Yuna}? --------------------------------------------------End-- {Tidus} We're taking the same boat as {Yuna}, right? Why do we gotta wait here? --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} {Yuna} came to this village ten years ago, when the last {Calm} started. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Tidus} The {Calm}? --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Since then, she's been like a little sister to me and {Lulu}. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} But she had the talent... She became an apprentice. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Now, today, she leaves as a summoner. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Lulu} This is our journey... We should leave together. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Lulu} You really don't need all that luggage. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Yuna} They're not really my things. They're gifts for the temples we're to visit. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} This isn't a vacation, {Yuna}. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Yuna} I guess...I guess you're right. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} Okay! Off we go! --------------------------------------------------End-- I came to this island all the way from Bevelle to stop you. {NEWPAGE} But from what everyone here says, I find it hard to believe you're traitors! {NEWPAGE} Warrior monks are waiting in the temple. Better leave before they notice you. --------------------------------------------------End-- Please! The warrior monks will capture you! --------------------------------------------------End-- I knew all along you weren't traitors. Please, go through. --------------------------------------------------End-- No one will try to stop you now. --------------------------------------------------End-- Infidel! --------------------------------------------------End-- Prepare to charge! --------------------------------------------------End-- Stay away from the summoner! --------------------------------------------------End-- You're a bad man! --------------------------------------------------End-- You're the guy from the sea, right? I heard about you from Sir {Luzzu}. --------------------------------------------------End-- {High Summoner Gandof}, give us your blessing, and watch over my family. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm getting ready to go out fishing. There's fiends out in the sea, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- What are you saying? You would break the precepts, fool child? --------------------------------------------------End-- Pray with daddy for the summoner, okay? --------------------------------------------------End-- You should pray for the apprentice summoner's safety, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- You might think about not having that toxin cured. {NEWPAGE} I know there's lots of things I'd like to forget. Lots. --------------------------------------------------End-- You know why the temple faces away from the sea? {NEWPAGE} So it does not have to look upon the sea from which {Sin} comes. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm heading out fishing, so I'm praying for a {Sin}less ocean. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm getting ready to go out fishing. There's fiends out in the sea, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Aurochs} put up a great fight this year. {Wakka}'s the best, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- It may not be much help to Lady {Yuna}, but allow me to pray for you. --------------------------------------------------End-- I know {Sin}'s out there, but if I don't go out, my family won't eat. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hear you're traitors, now? Who's responsible for that nonsense? --------------------------------------------------End-- When will Lady {Yuna}'s Calm come to Spira... --------------------------------------------------End-- The temple's so busy chasing traitors they've left {Sin} alone. {NEWPAGE} It will be a long time yet before I can feel safe going out to sea. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'll be out to sea soon. Perhaps I'll be greeting the Calm from deck. --------------------------------------------------End-- I was pulling in my catch when {Sin} and the flying ship went by. {NEWPAGE} What a sight! I think I forgot to sing. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm praying for the blessings of {Yevon2} to guide that flying ship. --------------------------------------------------End-- Odd clothes you got. What land you from? This your first time to {Besaid}? --------------------------------------------------End-- We don't get many strangers here. I remember every visitor we get. --------------------------------------------------End-- Everyone's gone to the temple, but I'm more comfortable praying at home. --------------------------------------------------End-- And what if something happened? I'd be afraid to go see. --------------------------------------------------End-- At last, Lady {Yuna} has become a true summoner like her father! {NEWPAGE} She was so small when she first came to {Besaid}. --------------------------------------------------End-- I am sure Lady {Yuna} will become a high summoner. Everyone in {Besaid} thinks so. --------------------------------------------------End-- I heard the {Crusader}s' operation failed. Maybe {Luzzu} and {Gatta} will repent and come home. --------------------------------------------------End-- I've no desire to go against the teachings, but something's not right with the temple these days. --------------------------------------------------End-- Daddy doesn't play with me at all. --------------------------------------------------End-- I can't figure whether I'm gonna join the {Aurochs} or the Crusaders! --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm pretty good at blitz, ya? I can hold my breath and everything! --------------------------------------------------End-- They say I gotta train in order to join the Crusaders... --------------------------------------------------End-- Me and Sir {Luzzu} and {Gatta} will beat {Sin}, just the three of us! --------------------------------------------------End-- Dad, come on! Let's go help! --------------------------------------------------End-- Yeah, but... --------------------------------------------------End-- Yeah! --------------------------------------------------End-- Let's go help the summoner! I promise I'll be a good boy! --------------------------------------------------End-- A summoner came to this village not long ago. Now what was his name? --------------------------------------------------End-- Looks like you got over the toxin, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Sir {Luzzu} and the others aren't back. What could have happened? --------------------------------------------------End-- It is true Lady {Yuna}'s a traitor? No one here believes that at all! --------------------------------------------------End-- We got letters from the {Aurochs}! They're doing great in {Luca}, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- I wonder if {Sin} is really going to go away? --------------------------------------------------End-- Long as I'm around, {Besaid}'s weaving will be known as nothing but the best! --------------------------------------------------End-- Don't you worry. The summoner will return, I know it. --------------------------------------------------End-- Worrying over a few hours delay is nothing but a lack of faith! --------------------------------------------------End-- Even should {Sin} come tomorrow, life is the same today. {NEWPAGE} We live and we work. --------------------------------------------------End-- Who cares who they're calling traitor. Defeat {Sin}, and it'll all be forgotten! --------------------------------------------------End-- Wait for the Calm to come before rejoicing. Wouldn't want any...false hope. --------------------------------------------------End-- I am sure that Lord {Braska} is watching over our apprentice summoner. --------------------------------------------------End-- On a hot day like today, it's best to be in the shade, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- I wove so much last month. All lost when {Sin} destroyed my boat. --------------------------------------------------End-- You the one they say came from the sea? {NEWPAGE} Toxin's still got you, ya? You go ahead and rest up. --------------------------------------------------End-- Gone for a night and a day now. I'm too worried to speak! --------------------------------------------------End-- Though I'm sure nothing bad is happening. Not to that summoner. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm glad the ferry's on its way, but {Sin} will be back, he will. --------------------------------------------------End-- I've heard that the {Crusader}s that fought {Sin} were defeated! {NEWPAGE} What terrible news! It's because they turned their backs on the teachings! --------------------------------------------------End-- When those children calling themselves {Crusader}s come back, they're in for a scolding. --------------------------------------------------End-- All these warrior monks were here looking for Lady {Yuna}. --------------------------------------------------End-- If Lady {Yuna} defeats {Sin} I'm sure those nasty rumours will go away. --------------------------------------------------End-- I wonder who was riding on that ship in the sky? --------------------------------------------------End-- Everyone in the village is all excited about that flying ship. {NEWPAGE} Heck, I bet all of {Spira}'s worked up! --------------------------------------------------End-- Welcome! --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}Buy items. {CHOICE:31}Leave. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}Buy weapons. {CHOICE:31}Buy items. {CHOICE:32}Leave. --------------------------------------------------End-- Thank you! Come again! --------------------------------------------------End-- Why isn't the apprentice summoner back yet? --------------------------------------------------End-- You're going with Lady {Yuna}? Does that mean you're a guardian? --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}No way. {CHOICE:31}Maybe so. --------------------------------------------------End-- You're saving it for the tournament then! The {Aurochs} have got to win this year! --------------------------------------------------End-- If there's anything you need to know about guardians, ask {Lulu}. {NEWPAGE} {Lulu} knows everything. She'll be a bigger help than {Wakka} for sure. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hope your toxin wears off soon. {NEWPAGE} I'll sneak in a prayer for you when I pray for Lady {Yuna}. --------------------------------------------------End-- You're the talk of the town, you know? Word travels fast in a village this size. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hope the {Aurochs} don't lose their first match again. {NEWPAGE} I'd like to see them at least tie a game one of these years. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm sure everything's fine. --------------------------------------------------End-- Don't say that again. Please. --------------------------------------------------End-- The apprentice hasn't returned. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}Huh? Apprentice? {CHOICE:31}Hasn't returned from where? --------------------------------------------------End-- The apprentice is the apprentice! The apprentice summoner, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- The Cloister of Trials! It's been a day already. --------------------------------------------------End-- Yevon be with us... --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm watching the store while sis is off praying. --------------------------------------------------End-- Buy more! Support the local economy! --------------------------------------------------End-- Come back soon! {NEWPAGE} You know a funny thing happened. {NEWPAGE} My dog dug something up yesterday. I wonder what it was. --------------------------------------------------End-- I can't believe {Wakka}'s leaving the team. {NEWPAGE} With you and {Wakka} there, the {Aurochs} would have the winning streak of the century! --------------------------------------------------End-- I wonder if we'll get more customers now that the ferry's up and running again. --------------------------------------------------End-- Those monks looking for Lady {Yuna} said that only traitors harbour traitors! {NEWPAGE} Can you believe it? And they're the ones guarding the temples? --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Aurochs} are still in {Luca}, ya? You should pay 'em a visit sometime. --------------------------------------------------End-- What happened to the flying ship? I hope it made it through the fight. --------------------------------------------------End-- Just between me and you, I hear that there's no maesters left anymore! --------------------------------------------------End-- Here, have this. This little fella brought it. {NEWPAGE} I can't figure what it is either. You go ahead and take a look. --------------------------------------------------End-- Who are you, mister? Where you from? --------------------------------------------------End-- The apprentice entered the trials, and hasn't come back... --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm sure Lady {Yuna} will have lots of stories when she gets back. --------------------------------------------------End-- Another summoner came here by boat. He was a nice guy. {NEWPAGE} But I like Lady {Yuna} much better! --------------------------------------------------End-- When the Calm comes, Lady {Yuna} has to come back so we can celebrate! --------------------------------------------------End-- What's a trader? I asked the monk, but he won't tell me. --------------------------------------------------End-- If that flying ship comes back I'm gonna sing real loud! --------------------------------------------------End-- He's got something in his mouth. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} Obtained {Yellow}something mangled and slobbery{White}! --------------------------------------------------End-- Fiends are around even during the day. Take care not to travel alone, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- You know it's too dangerous. Sorry, but you can't pass. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hope the apprentice is well. --------------------------------------------------End-- Instead of just loafing around you should be praying, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- Sir {Luzzu} and his troops are on a mission. I'm on watch duty. --------------------------------------------------End-- Really, it should've been {Gatta} on watch, but he made them take him along, ya? {NEWPAGE} I guess new recruits are always eager, but this ain't no training mission. --------------------------------------------------End-- Like to take a rest? Got to keep sharp, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}I'd like a nap. {CHOICE:31}Maybe later. --------------------------------------------------End-- Compared to the ones we fought during the operation, {Besaid} fiends are easy! --------------------------------------------------End-- I did my time in battle! Fiends are no problem. --------------------------------------------------End-- That flying ship looked like an {Al Bhed} machina to me. Hope it works this time. --------------------------------------------------End-- The Crusaders Lodge is open to guests. Take a rest? --------------------------------------------------End-- I want to go to the temple, but there's an operation to prepare for. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka} and the others are waiting outside! --------------------------------------------------End-- I had a run-in with {Sin}'s toxin before too, you know? {NEWPAGE} I'm a lot better now, but things were pretty bad for a while. {NEWPAGE} Couldn't remember who I was or where I came from! Scary, ya? {NEWPAGE} Man, I nearly cried, and that's the truth! --------------------------------------------------End-- I got better, but only after praying at the temple a lot. --------------------------------------------------End-- You should try praying. It worked for me--it'll work for you, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hope I get over the toxin quick. The big operation's coming up! --------------------------------------------------End-- You looking for {Wakka}? The priest called him to the temple a while back. --------------------------------------------------End-- I haven't fully healed from {Sin}'s toxin so I'm on guard detail. {NEWPAGE} Don't get me wrong, I'd rather be with my buddies. {NEWPAGE} But I'm a little relieved. This operation's gonna be dangerous, you know? --------------------------------------------------End-- You should try praying. It worked for me--it'll work for you, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm praying for Sir {Luzzu}'s and the others' safety. Yevon knows they'll need it. --------------------------------------------------End-- Of course, with the {Crusader}s excommunicated, I'm not supposed to be in the temple. {NEWPAGE} But the priest let me in special. Guess he's not all precepts after all. --------------------------------------------------End-- Just a bunch of empty beds without people to sleep in them. --------------------------------------------------End-- I can't believe {Operation Mi'ihen} was a failure. I just can't. --------------------------------------------------End-- I just pray everyone makes it back okay. Please. --------------------------------------------------End-- Praying won't keep fiends away. It takes {Crusader}s to defend {Besaid}. --------------------------------------------------End-- The toxin finally wore off. Now to make up for all my downtime, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- The battle with {Sin} ain't over yet... I wish there was something we could do. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in. --------------------------------------------------End-- Rent's free, but I've been working like a dog just fixing the place. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Sin}'s struck {Besaid} Village so many times I lost count. {NEWPAGE} After this house got hit I guess the owner just let it be. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Sin} will just come back and destroy it again. Sometimes I wonder why I bother. --------------------------------------------------End-- He looks pretty weak. Maybe he just can't take it. --------------------------------------------------End-- I guess I'll just keep fixing the leaks until the {Crusader}s get back. --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Crusader}s sure try hard, but I don't think they got what it takes to beat {Sin}, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Sir {Luzzu} and {Gatta} aren't back yet. What if they died in battle? {NEWPAGE} Or maybe they're just so ashamed they don't want to come home. --------------------------------------------------End-- Seems the fiends have increased with the {Crusader}s gone. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm no fiend-fighter, so I fix things and help the {Crusader}s that way. --------------------------------------------------End-- Sir {Luzzu} won't admit it, but he's really down. {NEWPAGE} I think he feels guilty about {Gatta} dying, you know? --------------------------------------------------End-- Sir {Gatta} was gloomy as ever after he returned from the operation. {NEWPAGE} Thankfully, his new post as leader of the {Besaid} {Crusader}s seems to have lifted his spirits. --------------------------------------------------End-- I heard the {Sin} toxin got to you. Took your memory, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- I'd be happy to teach you anything you've forgotten, sonny. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}What's Sin? {CHOICE:31}What's toxin? {CHOICE:32}What's Yevon? {CHOICE:33}What's Zanarkand? {CHOICE:34}No, thanks, gramps. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}What's Sin? {CHOICE:31}What's toxin? {CHOICE:32}What's Yevon? {CHOICE:33}What's Zanarkand? {CHOICE:34}What's a high summoner? {CHOICE:35}No, thanks, gramps. --------------------------------------------------End-- Maybe if I remind you of some things, you'll remember who you are! {NEWPAGE} --------------------------------------------------End-- Something else you'd like to know, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- How could you forget {Sin}? I can't say I don't envy you, though. {NEWPAGE} There's many who would give anything to forget the pain {Sin} has brought. {NEWPAGE} {Sin} appeared a thousand years ago, a raging demon intent on reducing {Spira} to rubble. {NEWPAGE} Everyone in {Spira} lives under {Sin}'s black shadow. {NEWPAGE} But to forget {Sin}...well, I'd consider yourself lucky, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- {Sin} appeared one thousand years ago, a raging demon intent on reducing {Spira} to rubble. {NEWPAGE} Everyone in {Spira} lives under {Sin}'s black shadow. {NEWPAGE} But to forget {Sin}...well, I'd consider yourself lucky, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- The foul vapours that boil from {Sin}'s hide are evil indeed... {NEWPAGE} One breath, and it will taint the very core of your body. {NEWPAGE} People who get too close to {Sin} forget even the most important things. {NEWPAGE} Just like you, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- How wretched you must be, to have forgotten the teachings of {Yevon2}! {NEWPAGE} The teachings are the only salvation for those who suffer because of {Sin}. {NEWPAGE} I'm sure you followed the teachings, before the toxin got to you, of course. {NEWPAGE} Go pray at the temple, and all will return in time. --------------------------------------------------End-- Zanarkand was once a great city in the far north of this land. {NEWPAGE} Now it lies in ruin, destroyed by {Sin} a thousand years ago. {NEWPAGE} Such was its punishment for relying too much on machina. --------------------------------------------------End-- One of the four summoners that fought {Sin} in the past. {NEWPAGE} Lord {Ohalland}, Lord {Gandof}, Lady {Yocun} and Lord {Braska}, it was. {NEWPAGE} {Spira} would have fallen to {Sin} long ago if the high summoners weren't around! --------------------------------------------------End-- Sorry I can't do more to help. You understand, eh, sonny? {NEWPAGE} The whole village's all wound up, with the apprentice not back from the trials. --------------------------------------------------End-- All this worrying's no good for an old man like myself. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm sure you'd like to know more before you head out, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- Some wild youngsters are saying the {Aurochs} won after a 23-year losing streak! {NEWPAGE} Yeah, well that'll be the day! {Aurochs} winning? Heh! Heheheh! --------------------------------------------------End-- Looks like you got over the toxin. Praise be to {Yevon2}, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- We {Besaid}ers all know Lady {Yuna}'s no traitor. {NEWPAGE} The daughter of Lord {Braska} turning against Yevon? Hogwash! --------------------------------------------------End-- We simple folk ain't got a clue what them temple elders are thinking. --------------------------------------------------End-- I think I'll stick around long enough to see {Sin} get what's coming to it! Heh! --------------------------------------------------End-- Me favourite's Lord Ohalland, ya? Spitting image of me old hubby. --------------------------------------------------End-- With Lord {Braska} looking over her, I'm sure she'll be returning, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- What do you want, heathen? --------------------------------------------------End-- I've nothing to say to a breaker of the precepts! --------------------------------------------------End-- Do not disturb our prayers, heathen! --------------------------------------------------End-- What? You? A guardian? The toxin still got you, eh? --------------------------------------------------End-- What trick have you pulled on the good Lady {Yuna}? --------------------------------------------------End-- I made up me mind to pray every day till Lady {Yuna}'s Calm begins. --------------------------------------------------End-- When the Calm comes, we'll be putting up a statue of a new high summoner. --------------------------------------------------End-- Sin's toxin? Nah, you don't look sick. {NEWPAGE} You must have not breathed in much of the stuff, ya? {NEWPAGE} Guess being a blitz player means you can hold your breath pretty good. --------------------------------------------------End-- I wanted to be a blitzer way back when. I just couldn't hold my breath. --------------------------------------------------End-- Mainlanders love the fabrics we weave here in {Besaid}. --------------------------------------------------End-- I suppose you can't run a business on tradition alone, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- The village was attacked by {Sin} when I was just a little kid, ya? {NEWPAGE} The village was burnt to ashes... I still have nightmares of that day. --------------------------------------------------End-- I got a bad feeling, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Well, the last summoner almost... --------------------------------------------------End-- Ah, my apologies. --------------------------------------------------End-- Without breaking the precepts, all we can do is pray, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- I heard {Kilika} was attacked, ya? Wh-What if {Besaid}'s next? --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm so scared of {Sin} I can't think straight, but the old man will have my hide if I mess up. --------------------------------------------------End-- I bet me praying every day helped the {Aurochs} finally win, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- There's a reward being offered for news of the traitors. {NEWPAGE} No one here'd think of saying nothing, but watch out on the road. --------------------------------------------------End-- I wonder how things are on the mainland. We don't get much news down here. --------------------------------------------------End-- Sounds like that poppycock about Lady {Yuna} finally got cleared up. --------------------------------------------------End-- Now if {Sin}'d just go away, we'd have nothing to worry about. --------------------------------------------------End-- It's hard to work with the Calm right around the corner! --------------------------------------------------End-- May the apprentice summoner return to us safely. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Yevon2}'s teachings are our staff and our guide in life. {NEWPAGE} Without the teachings, we'd just live every day in fear of {Sin}. --------------------------------------------------End-- It...It's like we were born to live in fear. --------------------------------------------------End-- May the protection of {Yevon2} be with our apprentice. --------------------------------------------------End-- Please, guide Lady {Yuna}'s travels well. --------------------------------------------------End-- When I think about Lady {Yuna}'s journey, I wonder if praying is enough. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm sure she'll be fine. {Lulu}'s with her and all. --------------------------------------------------End-- It's the machina's fault that so many of our {Crusader}s died. {NEWPAGE} So many lives wasted... and for what gain? --------------------------------------------------End-- You should watch yourself. Never go against the teachings. --------------------------------------------------End-- How unfortunate that Lady {Yuna}'s engagement to {Master Seymor} was put off. --------------------------------------------------End-- I can't believe Lady {Yuna} would ever turn her back to the teachings! Never! --------------------------------------------------End-- I pray that the next Calm will last a long time. --------------------------------------------------End-- Please let the Aurochs score at least one goal. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Wakka}'s a guardian. He should go help. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm gonna pray for Lady {Yuna} every day! --------------------------------------------------End-- When I was born, Lord {Braska} and two guardians came to our village. --------------------------------------------------End-- Let Lady {Yuna} defeat {Sin}... Soon... --------------------------------------------------End-- The priest told me the story of Lady {Yunalesca} and Lord {Zaon}. {NEWPAGE} {Spira}'s here today because of what Lady {Yunalesca} did. --------------------------------------------------End-- If I was strong like Lord {Zaon} I could have been a guardian, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- Only sworn guardians may approach the Cloister of Trials. --------------------------------------------------End-- Pray hard, and the toxin will surely release its grip on you. --------------------------------------------------End-- The high summoners, in order from the right: Lord {Braska}, Lady Yocun... {NEWPAGE} Lord Ohalland, and Lord Gandof. Do you remember them now? --------------------------------------------------End-- Putting your transgression aside for now, let us celebrate the birth of a summoner! --------------------------------------------------End-- Quickly, to the village square! Share in our joy! --------------------------------------------------End-- Perhaps your transgression shall be pardoned on account of the toxin. {NEWPAGE} But just this once. Follow the teachings, my son. --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Crusader}s are planning an operation that defies the teachings of {Yevon2}. {NEWPAGE} It is a pity. The loss of {Chappu} should be lesson enough to follow the teachings. --------------------------------------------------End-- You look better than you did yesterday. Has {Sin}'s toxin weakened its grip? --------------------------------------------------End-- The summoner undergoes the trials. We must not interfere. --------------------------------------------------End-- I've not told the people yet, but I hear {Maester Mika2} has passed away. {NEWPAGE} What is going on in {Bevelle}? --------------------------------------------------End-- The chaos in the temple only serves to worry the people. --------------------------------------------------End-- This ship of the air, could it be an {Al Bhed} machina? {NEWPAGE} I'm not sure whether to cheer or condemn it. --------------------------------------------------End-- Even searching the Scriptures of {Yevon2}, I have found no cure for {Sin}'s toxin. {NEWPAGE} May the blessing of {Yevon2} guide you to health, friend. --------------------------------------------------End-- I, too, will pray for the blessing of {Yevon2} to shine upon you. --------------------------------------------------End-- My heart is heavy when I think of the worst that could happen. {NEWPAGE} Should the Trials remain unconquered, our apprentice has no future. --------------------------------------------------End-- Great strength is only obtained through great suffering. --------------------------------------------------End-- Let us greet the {Crusader}s warmly when they arrive. {NEWPAGE} Returning them to the true path is my duty as a follower of Yevon. --------------------------------------------------End-- It appears the summoner's pilgrimage goes well! Very good, very good. --------------------------------------------------End-- All word from {St. Bevelle} has ceased. {NEWPAGE} None of the temples know which way to turn. --------------------------------------------------End-- You've been a stranger to the temples lately, I hear. {NEWPAGE} Be at peace. Come what may, you are always welcome at our temple. --------------------------------------------------End-- Even the teachings of a thousand years are due for an update once in a while. --------------------------------------------------End-- Why, if {Sin} is defeated, we may no longer need {Yevon2}'s guidance. --------------------------------------------------End-- {Besaid}'s devotion to the teachings of {Yevon2} is commendable. {NEWPAGE} Still, there is much for a priestess such as I to teach them. --------------------------------------------------End-- I appreciate the {Crusader}s' zeal, but they must heed the teachings. --------------------------------------------------End-- With the statues' guidance, I'm sure our apprentice is doing fine. --------------------------------------------------End-- Pray at the temple, and you may just overcome {Sin}'s toxin. --------------------------------------------------End-- I don't mean to be rude, but some privacy would be appreciated. {NEWPAGE} I must pray for our apprentice summoner, you understand. --------------------------------------------------End-- The people of the village could use your help. You should pray, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- I suppose we'll have to call our apprentice Lady {Yuna} now. --------------------------------------------------End-- And you, heathen. Know that the teachings are the only true guide! --------------------------------------------------End-- The summoner embarks on a perilous pilgrimage to save the people. {NEWPAGE} We must pray from the very bottom of our hearts for her success. --------------------------------------------------End-- Fear not! The toxin will heal. --------------------------------------------------End-- I appreciate the {Crusader}s' zeal, but they must heed the teachings. --------------------------------------------------End-- The people of the island all pray for Lady {Yuna}'s safety. {NEWPAGE} I'm doing my part, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- Word of Lady {Yuna}'s achievements has reached this island, too. --------------------------------------------------End-- I hear you've become a guardian! May you guard Lady {Yuna} well. --------------------------------------------------End-- Even here in {Besaid} we've got orders to arrest Lady {Yuna}. {NEWPAGE} Nobody knows what to do, but we certainly wouldn't do THAT! --------------------------------------------------End-- Those warrior monks that came to the island were just a bunch of crooks, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Who can the people of {Yevon2} turn to now that {Maester Mika2} is gone? --------------------------------------------------End-- I've followed the teachings of {Yevon2} ever since I was a child. {NEWPAGE} Even should the temple fall, I will keep praying. I will. --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Besaid} fabrics they make here are famous all over Spira! {NEWPAGE} If I buy cheap and sell high, I'll be rolling in Gil in no time! --------------------------------------------------End-- Take a look. Even with the village in turmoil, they just weave away. {NEWPAGE} Now that's the true sign of a professional! --------------------------------------------------End-- Hey, I'm worried too! But all we can do is wait. --------------------------------------------------End-- That old coot dropped what he was doing to go see the summoner off. {NEWPAGE} Now I gotta do all his work, too! It's just not fair. --------------------------------------------------End-- Sorry, no time to talk. Rover starts barking when I slack off. --------------------------------------------------End-- One recruit ain't gonna make the {Aurochs} winners! {NEWPAGE} They'll lose in the first round again, leaving us {Luca Goers} to pick up the cup! --------------------------------------------------End-- I hear the {Crusader}s' operation goes right against the teachings of {Yevon2}! {NEWPAGE} They're way out of their league, if you ask me. Leave {Sin} to the summoners! --------------------------------------------------End-- I heard you whooped 'em good at the tournament in {Luca}! {NEWPAGE} Maybe the {Aurochs}' winning will be good for the weaving business, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Heard the {Crusader}s got their butts kicked. They had it coming, if you ask me. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm sure impressed with the old man, ya? {NEWPAGE} If {Sin} showed up, I bet he'd stare it in the eye and just keep on working! --------------------------------------------------End-- Well, if it ain't the traitors! You got some nerve coming here! --------------------------------------------------End-- Hey, hey, just kidding! No need to glare, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- I hear things at the temples are a mess. Bad for business, I tell you. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'll admit it, I didn't believe that story about the flying ship! Who would? {NEWPAGE} When it came flying over town, whoowee! I nearly up and died. --------------------------------------------------End-- When that ship came, the old man, he kept working while he sang! --------------------------------------------------End-- I travelled Spira looking for a land where nobody had heard of {Sin}. {NEWPAGE} I...I gave up looking. I think it's for the best. --------------------------------------------------End-- The village where I was born is no longer there, thanks to {Sin}. --------------------------------------------------End-- The villagers have a lot on their minds. You should stay quiet for a while. {NEWPAGE} Intoxication is no excuse for bothering people with questions. --------------------------------------------------End-- Most of the villagers went down to say farewell at the dock. {NEWPAGE} Our summoner's leaving. Aw, I've never liked goodbyes. --------------------------------------------------End-- Careful not to break any more precepts, or you'll end up like the {Crusader}s! --------------------------------------------------End-- A summoner named Lord {Isaaru} came to the village, but he left so soon. --------------------------------------------------End-- The {Crusader}s' operation failed as expected, because they used machina! --------------------------------------------------End-- {Operation Mi'ihen} was a crushing loss for the {Crusader}s, but they're rallying together from every land. {NEWPAGE} Much better than those warrior monks. They're all holed up in {Bevelle}, I hear. --------------------------------------------------End-- It's funny that the {Crusader}s are the ones protecting us, even after being excommunicated. --------------------------------------------------End-- Maybe I should learn {Besaid} weaving...make a place for myself here. --------------------------------------------------End-- I doubt some old song is going to help anyone beat {Sin}. --------------------------------------------------End-- Seafaring is hard work. Gotta kick back sometimes. Get some R & R, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- Is it true that {Sin} showed up near here? {NEWPAGE} Oh boy! And the S.S. Liki's scheduled to leave any day now. --------------------------------------------------End-- I sure hope we don't run into {Sin} on our next voyage. --------------------------------------------------End-- I saw the apprentice summoner and two guardians enter the temple yesterday. {NEWPAGE} Everything looked alright then. But now I'm starting to worry. --------------------------------------------------End-- I do hope they come back safely. --------------------------------------------------End-- I'm gonna kick back in town till the next ship gets here. --------------------------------------------------End-- There's no time to rest out there. Never know when {Sin} will show up. --------------------------------------------------End-- If you muck around here, the ship will leave without you! {NEWPAGE} And the next boat won't be here for a while. Better hurry, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- I really, really hope we don't run into {Sin} on this voyage. --------------------------------------------------End-- Someone saw an {Al Bhed} ship near the island. {NEWPAGE} Wonder what they're up to in these waters? --------------------------------------------------End-- I kinda got to liking this town. Maybe I'll give up seafaring. --------------------------------------------------End-- One of my friends is on your ship. I'll pray for both of you. --------------------------------------------------End-- I heard the {Guado} blew up the {Al Bhed}'s home! {NEWPAGE} I got no love for the {Al Bhed}, but that's going too far. --------------------------------------------------End-- No matter what happens in the temples, it's life as usual here. --------------------------------------------------End-- Seems kind of odd to pray for the temples' sake, ya? --------------------------------------------------End-- That flying ship was spectacular! Those {Al Bhed} might have something there. --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} Obtained {Jecht}'s sphere! --------------------------------------------------End-- {WINDOW} {CHOICE:30}Take a look. {CHOICE:31}Leave it alone. --------------------------------------------------End--
