Chapter 3
Yuna and company emerged from the temple, the priests giving the traditional Yevon bows to the newly blossomed summoner.
Lady Yuna, we are pleased you are safe and sound. The priest approached her, narrowing his eyes at Tidus.
Yes, thank you. I am sorry if I worried so many people. Sir Seymour is a good guardian, however. Im sure my pilgrimage will be safe with him by my side. Yuna replied.
Yuna, show us what the fayth has taught you. Lulu encouraged.
Come, Yuna. Seymour extended his hand towards the door, as if to show her the way.
Yuna nodded and stepped forward: those in the temple followed her out into the main center of the small village. Yuna turned, smiling and nodding towards the people. She raised her rod in the air and a shield of magic formed around her, the Yevon symbols circled around her as the sky parted, and a flash of light revealed the summon beast Valefor. Valefor flew from the sky and landed down by Yuna, awaiting her command. Yuna approached the beast, stroking the side of it as the people cooed in awe of the newborn summoner.
Tidus especially seemed awe-inspired by what he saw
as if he had never seen anything like it before. Seymour watched him carefully as Yuna turned to face the villagers, smiling happily at her oundound talent.
Later in the evening, Seymour watched from a distance as the villagers rejoiced in the start of Yunas pilgrimage, keeping an ever-watchful eye on his son. Sion sat near Tidus, examining him, grabbing at his clothes and asking him continuous questions.
Seymour sighed, leaning back in his chair and tilted his head up, staring at the stars
I wonder if youre watching
Seymour was unaware at how much time had gone by before Sion approached him and tugged at his dads sleeve.
Dad? Do you really think that Tidus is from Zanarkand? he asked.
Is that where he says hes from? Seymour asked, patting his son on the head.
I told him what you told me: Dont tell that to any holy rollers, that will cause trouble!
Actually what I said was: Be careful to whom you speak to about Zanarkand
Yevon considers it a holy place and will not take too kindly to those claiming that they are from the lost city of the dead.
Yeah, what you said. Sion smiled before a yawn escaped his mouth.
You need to get ready for bed. Seymour smiled.
Will you be here when I get up in the morning?
Yes
I will. You are coming with Yuna and I
you are her guardian.
Like Ill be able to do anything
I am a kid. Sion pouted, looking down.
But you are also my son
and we will work together with Wakka
and Tidus
most importantly, you will remain by my side. Seymour smiled calmly, We will always be together, and nothing will change that.
Dont get all gross on me
Sion looked at Seymour, halfway amused.
Yes, its disgusting how much I love you, isnt it? Seymour smirked.
No kidding.
All right, thats enough from you, Seymour laughed, hurling his son over his shoulder, Time for bed. We have a big day tomorrow.
I dont wanna! Sion pouted, but was unable to fight back from exhaustion.
Sing that tune after youre tucked in. You sleep like a shoopuf.
Seymour walked into his hut and waited for Sion to prepare for bed before he tucked him in. He sat inside for a few moments, reading quietly before Yunas voice was heard calling to him quietly.
Seymour?
The demi-guado stood and walked outside to meet her. She looked puzzled and almost frightened.
What is it, Yuna? Seymour asked, tilting his head to the side.
Im sorry
were you trying to sleep? Yuna asked.
No, Seymour shook his head, Whats wrong?
Im so sorry to just
interrupt.
Yuna
Yes, yes
Im sorry. Do you
Do you think I did the right thing? Yuna asked, I mean, do you think that I am really ready for all of this?
Yuna, you made the choice because you believed that you could do it. Do not let fear stop you. Your pilgrimage will be full of laughter
I promise.
Thank you, Seymour
I am sorry.
Please stop apologizing. Seymour put a hand on her frail, small shoulder, There is nothing that youve done wrong.
Thank you
Goodnight.
Yuna
one more thing
Seymour stopped her, Be careful with this new boy
we have yet to know where hes really from and who he really is. He claims to be from Zanarkand
whether or not this is possible is unknown.
Yes
Yuna bowed slightly before turning and walking away.
Seymour sighed a little before turning, his eyes falling upon a blonde individual who stood not far from where he and Yuna were talking.
Eavesdropping? Seymour cocked an eyebrow.
Uh-! Tidus looked around as if he tried to find someone to save him from Seymours wrath.
Seymour stared at him for a moment, I dont trust you, as I mentioned. You do anything suspicious, I will not think twice about killing you.
Hey! Whoa, wai-wait a minute! Tidus walked up to Seymour.
Please be quiet, my son is sleeping.
Oh
hes yours? Tidus asked.
Seymour stared at the boy without responding.
Look, Im not here to hurt anyone
Wakka says that I might find someone I know in Luca, so thats why Im going. I
Tidus stopped in mid-explanation due to the unpleasant look spread across the guados face. I guess this conversations over?
Correct. If you are not ready on time, I will leave you here. Seymour retired inside his hut.
Tidus stood there for a moment, unsure what exactly to make of the blue-haired man. He scratched the back of his head and looked around. Spotting Yuna still sitting by the fire, he walked up to her and smiled.
Dont mind Seymour, hes really protective, thats all. Yuna smiled.
Yeah
tell me about it. Tidus sat down beside her.
He was my fathers guardian
and he lost someone
Oh
Sions mother?
Yes. Yuna sighed, My father asked him to bring me here and watch over me, so, Seymours like my surrogate father.
So, your dad beat Sin? Tidus asked.
Yes
it was quite odd growing up with Seymour
he was only eighteen when he first came here.
What is he? Tidus asked.
Youre
really not from around here, are you? Yuna asked, excited.
No. You mean you believe me? Tidus asked, hopeful.
I dont know if I do or dont
Sins toxin is very powerful. Yuna shrugged, But I do want to hear more about Zanarkand. Youll have to tell me tomorrow, on the boat.
Sure. Tidus grinned, Anyway, what is Seymour?
Yuna giggled a little, Seymour is from the guado tribe, but hes only half-guado. The other half of him is human, like you and me.
So, Sion is part guado? Tidus asked.
Yes.
Hey! You two need to get some rest! Cmon, Tidus, I have a place for you to sleep.
Well, until tomorrow, goodnight.
Tidus stood with Yuna as she smiled at him and walked away, disappearing into a nearby hut.
Dont get to cozy with her, ya? Wakka nudged Tidus shoulder.
We were just talking! Tidus complained.
Yeah, yeah! Get to bed, eh?
