History till now
At the age of 7, Nedah and her older sister Lulu were placed at foster parents since their parents died in a battle. Nedah never understood and never found out how they died, but ten years later she learned everything about it.
Nedah and her sister Lulu were chosen to become a guardian from Yuna, a 17 year old high summoner, who was chosen to defeat an enormous enemy named Sin who returned every ten years.
The monster who had taken many lives, including Nedah’s parents.
During their journey, Nedah had visited all the temples to let Yuna pray for the faith who would offer the final summoning which would be Spira’s hope to get rid of Sin. Their journey was rough, they met enemies who tried to stop the summoner only because they wanted to become the next Sin.
But not only enemies arrived, also friends. Rikku, Yuna’s cousin joined the group and later on a mysterious man named Auron became a great help. Also a famous bliztballplayer named Wakka saw the struggling of the pilgrimage and also offered help. The group found a way to defeat Sin, but what was more importantly, they also found a way to stop him being eternal. Sin would always stay away and would never come back again. Yuna and her guardians were seen as the heroin and so Yuna and her guardians are often asked for help. After the pilgrimage Nedah finally decided to study black magic. Lulu was a master in it and her magic was a great help in battle during the pilgrimage.
Rikku was a master in stealing and passed on her abilities to Nedah saying it would come in handy most of the time. Nedah can steal money fast and some items. But it still fails mostly.
Nedah didn’t see Yuna that much anymore, it appeared she had left to a group named the gullwings who were always out for hunting spheres. Rikku was asked to join and Nedah later as well, but she left after participating for some months. She still is friends with people who were in the organisation.
Shinra the wizkid, Paine the mysterious girl, Brother -Rikku’s brother- the crazy pilot, and Buddy the navigator. Now she makes time three times a week to visit the Gullwings and fly with them for fun.
The story
Chapter 1
“Come on, just throw it once, don’t worry I can catch it!” Nedah folded her arms and looked not to happy at Wakka who was training his bliztball team. “No time for goofing around ya, we’ve got an important match to play Saturday! And we gotta be in top shape to win!” Wakka exclaimed when he kicked the ball away to his team member. “Aah come on, one time, just for fun.” Nedah was bored and wanted to have fun with friends but no one seemed to have time. The Gullwings were out on a mission, Lulu had work to do in the temple and Wakka was training his team, but this was the only place worth to have some fun. “Why don’t you lay in the sun to tan or something instead of bothering us now.” Nedah knew she surpassed a line of Wakka’s patience and gave up.
“Fine, party-pooper. I’ll go lay in the sun then, but when you kick that ball my way, it’s a goner!” She grinned and walked off to find a nice spot to lay down. It was pretty hot outside.
Probably the hottest day of the month June. Nedah found herself a nice place to lay down. It was near a tree so if it would be too warm she could roll in the shadow of it right away.
She did check first if there were spiders in the tree. One time she experienced that a big one fell on top of her head when she had fallen asleep under a tree. She lay down on a towel she had brought, put on her sunglasses and looked up at the beautiful blue sky. Somehow she was fascinated by the sky, she could stare a long time at it. Little birds flew by and sometimes a small cloud crawled by.
She put her hands behind her head and put herself onto relaxing mode. She was ready to close her eyes when she heard suddenly a sound of an engine approaching . She opened her eyes right away and noticed a big red airship got closer towards her. Nedah sat up, put her sunglasses on top of her head again and watched how the airship landed in front of her. A door opened and Rikku, Yuna and Paine jumped out of it. “Nice surprise, just when I was about to relax you show up again huh.” Nedah said teasingly. “You definitely missed something again!” Rikku giggled, “Gippal was flirting with Yuna again.” Yuna gave Rikku a push and blushed a bit. “When doesn’t he flirt.” Nedah said as she stood up. ”I know, but he definitely seems interested in Yunie!” Rikku showed a big grin, Yuna still stood there blushing and Paine just had her arms crossed and looked like she didn’t care.
“So, you came to me to tell that?” Nedah smiled and brushed of her clothes which had some sand stuck on it. “No, we found an ancient treasure in some ruins! We wanted to show you first before we bring it to Baralai.” Rikku grabbed Nedah’s hand and dragged Nedah with her into the airship, “Hey, I can walk myself you know!” The door closed behind Paine who was the last who walked in.
“So where is it?” Nedah asked when she stood at the bridge. “Shinra is scanning it right now, it should be done in a few minutes.” Buddy replied at his usual spot. He was looking for more locations for finding treasures. Brother stood in the center and couldn’t help but to stare at Nedah’s behind.
Rikku noticed it and punched him in his stomach, “Stop that, sicko!” Brother fell down and groaned, “I’m not a sicko, it happened by accident!” Nedah turned around and raised her eyebrow when she looked at Brother, then she gave a fast look at Paine who still stood there silent having her arms crossed. She walked towards her and decided to ask if something was wrong. “Is something wrong, Paine?” She looked at her mysterious crimson eyes and hoped Paine would open up a bit.
But only a lousy ‘nothing, why?’ Was her answer. “You seem down. Wanna talk about it?”
Nedah knew she opened up more since she journeyed with the Gullwings. She still doesn’t spill it like Rikku or Yuna do, but still it was a progress. “There is nothing to talk about.” Paine looked serious and determined not to say anything. “Alright, but if you want to talk, you know where you can find me.” Nedah showed a smile and then decided to leave her alone. She did hear a deep sigh from Paine behind her. “Alright, I scanned the treasure.” Shinra finally said. “Woopie! So what can you tell about it!” Rikku said as she leaned on Shinra’s shoulder. “It’s an ancient treasure, I believe from 1000 years ago. It was said that this treasure would protect everyone against danger. Most people believed it, but it never worked of course. It’s ruins collapsed when Sin arrived and so it was buried under the rocks. It’s today almost 5 years ago that they rebuilt the ruins again. No one ever came that far as you guys did, people must have known it was still stuck in there but the fiends struck them down.” The Gullwings remained silent. “So ehm, that’s it? Nothing more important?” Yuna asked.
“It has a great value of course for New Yevon, but for us. No” Shinra said as he faced Yuna.
“Dammit, everything for nothing. We almost died for nothing!” Rikku started to curse.
“No.” Nedah said, “Baralai will be so happy with it, he has to give you a nice reward right, who knows you can use that.” She showed a smile and sat down on a chair. “Yeah! Who knows a new awesome dressphere. Or, or, a lot of Gil!” Rikku became cheery again, but Paine still stood in the back having the same facial expression. She hesitated and walked towards Nedah. “Alright, I’m ready to talk.” She sighed. Nedah looked surprised, nodded and lead her to the deck where the most deepest conversations were given. Paine sat down near the gull on deck and looked up.
Nedah sat down next to her and waited for her to tell her story. ”It’s not much but, it still bothers me a bit.” Paine said as she looked up at Nedah. “You see, when you were still a full member, I had more a great time then now. Rikku and Yuna are so much a like, well they are family but, they are way too different to me to hang around with them, they are constantly cheery while you know I’m more the sarcastic type.” Nedah nodded, “But, I’m very cheerful as well right, I’m actually just like Yuna and Rikku.” Paine remained silent for a few seconds, “Yes, but you can be serious, and it looks like Yuna and Rikku never can. No matter what situation.” Paine had a point there, Yuna and Rikku mostly stuck with each other being hyper about every treasure they were looking for or every mission no matter how difficult it was, while Paine mostly followed a bit.
Nedah sometimes had enough of the hyperness as well to be honest, so she mostly walked with Paine behind the girls. ”I just don’t really fit anymore at the group, at least it feels like that.” She sighed and looked at the sky again, only to avoid Nedah’s face. “So you mean, you will quit?”
Paine nodded, “It’s nothing for me anymore. Unless you come back.” she faced Nedah again who had her mouth a bit open in surprise. Did Paine really miss her? She never expected Paine to be the person wanting her back. “I-, I dunno, being away constantly isn’t my thing anymore, when I go back to the Gullwings I have to give up my black magic studies and my job to guide the people through the temple.”
“Forget I asked then.” Paine smiled a bit, “But I’m glad you listened, and that you know what I think.” Nedah smiled back and stood up, “I’ll think about it to come back, but please Paine, don’t leave the Gullwings, they can’t miss you.” Paine also stood up now and walked slowly to the elevator, “I’ll think about it.” she said as she walked in the elevator.
“Sooo, had a pretty important conversation huh!” Rikku said when the two girls were back at the bridge again. “Mwah.” Paine replied, “It’s alright.” Rikku showed her sweetest smile letting you know she wanted to know what it was about. “Rikku, no you won’t know.” Paine sighed.
“Aaaw, why not! We are also friends.” Rikku pouted and pretended she cried. Nedah laughed a bit, “Sometimes you don’t want everyone to know hm.” She gave Rikku a little pat on her back and walked further. “Yeah but, aaaaw- okee.” Brother looked at the members and started to smile wide.
“Let’s do something to relax! For example, Yuna dancing!” Rikku looked up surprised, “Hey, yeah! Great idea! Let’s do that, please Yunie.” Yuna blinked and had to think about it, but gave in not much later. While Yuna was getting ready. Paine, Rikku and Nedah were laying on the beds in the cabin. Rikku was very excited but Nedah wasn’t that much. She experienced Yuna singing before on the deck of the airship and to be honest, she didn’t really like her voice.
No one really said something when waiting, they were mostly listening to Brother who had a conversation with some musicians they picked up for the little private concert. “Yuna sure takes her time.” Paine said after some silence. Rikku jumped up, “I’ll go take a look.” and left Nedah and Paine behind on the beds. “So, when Yuna is performing, shall we go as well afterwards?” Nedah asked with a grin.
Paine looked shocked at her, “Me, singing? Hell no.” Nedah laughed, “Ah come on, it will be fun. Let off some steam, act crazy for once. You don’t have to hold yourself in, we are used to crazyness!” Paine raised an eyebrow, “I don’t know yet, we‘ll see how it goes.”
A short time later Yuna was ready and everyone proceeded to the deck. The musicians stood ready and Yuna went to the middle and started to sing. Nedah closed her eyes for a moment. Yuna didn’t start flawless but later on it went better. Rikku danced with Yuna and the rest sat on the floor just watching. Brother was making weird sounds of happiness and jumped later on stage as well.
Paine and Nedah just sat on the floor. Nedah thought it was time to get on stage and act a bit crazy.
“Shall we go on stage?” She asked with a wide grin. Paine gasped and shook quickly no, but Nedah grabbed her arms and pulled her up already. “Nedah, no, I don’t want to!” Paine yelled with a bit of an angry tone. Nedah didn’t listen and dragged Paine towards Yuna who sang her last note now. “Can we perform now?” Nedah asked with a cute smile. Yuna glanced over to Paine who stood behind Nedah. “Sure! Good luck!” Yuna handed over the microphone to Nedah and sat down on the place where Nedah sat before. Buddy and Brother cheered for the girls and were very enthusiastic. Finally, Nedah would sing for them. They only witnessed her singing once when she thought she was alone. They also never thought Paine would perform, this was like a dream coming true.
The music started to play and it sounded familiar for both. Nedah did some dancing moves and laughed a bit at Paine who stood pinned on the floor. “Come on Paine, move!” The crowd shouted.
Paine took a deep breathe and finally started to dance, she hated to stand in the spotlight, but she decided to go for it for once.
Nedah started to sing.
“Far away, where the sunshine never fades
There lies this land, the greatest of tales
You can not reach it when you go by foot
You can not reach the place when it’s on flood
For a bird in the sky, For a fish in the sea
There is always a star shining, even for me!”
At the last sentence Nedah put a lot of power in her voice and then let Paine repeat the same part.
Everyone sat silent on the floor watching the girls sing. They didn’t expect them to have such a good voice. The stress of performing totally disappeared and even Paine had fun in doing it. When they finished they received a large applause. Nedah grinned at Paine and high-fived.
“That was amazing!” Yuna shouted happily, “Didn’t know you could sing that good as well Paine.”
Paine smiled, “I didn’t know it either.” Nedah put an arm around Paine’s shoulder, “And how did it feel to stand there.” Paine smirked, “It even felt good.”
The group sat outside for an hour and then went back inside. Brother drove the airship back to Besaid to drop Nedah. “Well we had a great time again.” Yuna giggled. “You know, we miss your presence, it would be nice to have you back.” Nedah smiled, “I’ll think about it, you’ll hear it next time we see each other again.” The door opened and Nedah jumped out. “Bye guys!”
She stood there for some seconds watching the airship flying away again and then head back to the village. It was a bit colder then it was before she got on the airship, but it still was a pleasant temperature. When she arrived at the village again it was pretty quiet in the streets. Only a dog surpassed her and the owner from it. Nedah entered her house but no one was home.
Assuming Lulu would be in the temple she headed towards the temple and walked in.
“What the hell! What happened!” She put her hand in front of her mouth when she saw the temple was destroyed inside.
I finished the first chapter right now and I wanted to share it with you guys.
My grammar can be a mess since English is not my first language.
Hope you enjoy it!

“Sooo, had a pretty important conversation huh!” Rikku said when the two girls were back at the bridge again. “Mwah.” Paine replied, “It’s alright.” Rikku showed her sweetest smile letting you know she wanted to know what it was about. “Rikku, no you won’t know.” Paine sighed.
“Aaaw, why not! We are also friends.” Rikku pouted and pretended she cried. Nedah laughed a bit, “Sometimes you don’t want everyone to know hm.” She gave Rikku a little pat on her back and walked further. “Yeah but, aaaaw- okee.” Brother looked at the members and started to smile wide.
“Let’s do something to relax! For example, Yuna dancing!” Rikku looked up surprised, “Hey, yeah! Great idea!

Paine gasped and shook quickly no, but Nedah grabbed her arms and pulled her up already. “Nedah, no, I don’t want to!” Paine yelled with a bit of an angry tone. Nedah didn’t listen and dragged Paine towards Yuna who sang her last note now. “Can we perform now?” Nedah asked with a cute smile. Yuna glanced over to Paine who stood behind Nedah. “Sure! Good luck!” Yuna handed over the microphone to Nedah and sat down on the place where Nedah sat before. Buddy and Brother cheered for the girls and were very enthusiastic. Finally, Nedah would sing for them. They only witnessed her singing once when she thought she was alone. They also never thought Paine would perform, this was like a dream coming true.
The music started to play and it sounded familiar for both. Nedah did some dancing moves and laughed a bit at Paine who stood pinned on the floor. “Come on Paine, move!” The crowd shouted.
Paine took a deep breathe and finally started to dance, she hated to stand in the spotlight, but she decided to go for it for once.
Nedah started to sing.
“Far away, where the sunshine never fades
There lies this land, the greatest of tales
You can not reach it when you go by foot
You can not reach the place when it’s on flood
For a bird in the sky, For a fish in the sea
There is always a star shining, even for me!”
At the last sentence Nedah put a lot of power in her voice and then let Paine repeat the same part.
Everyone sat silent on the floor watching the girls sing. They didn’t expect them to have such a good voice. The stress of performing totally disappeared and even Paine had fun in doing it. When they finished they received a large applause. Nedah grinned at Paine and high-fived.
“That was amazing!” Yuna shouted happily, “Didn’t know you could sing that good as well Paine.”
Paine smiled, “I didn’t know it either.” Nedah put an arm around Paine’s shoulder, “And how did it feel to stand there.” Paine smirked, “It even felt good.”
The group sat outside for an hour and then went back inside. Brother drove the airship back to Besaid to drop Nedah. “Well we had a great time again.” Yuna giggled. “You know, we miss your presence, it would be nice to have you back.” Nedah smiled, “I’ll think about it, you’ll hear it next time we see each other again.” The door opened and Nedah jumped out. “Bye guys!”
She stood there for some seconds watching the airship flying away again and then head back to the village. It was a bit colder then it was before she got on the airship, but it still was a pleasant temperature. When she arrived at the village again it was pretty quiet in the streets. Only a dog surpassed her and the owner from it. Nedah entered her house but no one was home.
Assuming Lulu would be in the temple she headed towards the temple and walked in.
“What the hell! What happened!” She put her hand in front of her mouth when she saw the temple was destroyed inside.
