acheron parthenopaeus, arriving, yuna

I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
WHO: Yuna and Ash.
WHAT: The former High Summoner arrives.
WHEN: Early morning.
WHERE: Spira and then the island (Oh, no, LOST!)
RATING: PG at most.
STATUS: COMPLETE.

Yuna's life was far from simple. Or calm. Or even easy, for that matter. Her experience as a Summoner had both hardened her and made her wise. The pilgrimage was an experience like no other, something she’d never trade for anything else. It allowed her to leave her mark on the people she passed along the way and to establish the relationship a Summoner must have with her people, as well as her guardians. And it brought her to Tidus…but after he “died,” she had all but broken down. How could she have missed his unsent soul? Sending him was by far the most painful thing she had done in her lifetime, silly as it may have sounded to someone else. Had it not been for her cousin Rikku, she would surely still be a mess. But that was all gone now, over with. Though Tidus still haunted her dreams, and she still heard echoes of him damn near every day, Yuna had managed to move on.

It was to escape his presence that she sought out the sphere hunting, though often the treasures took her to places she’d seen with him on the pilgrimage. Somehow, she endured. She'd found strength and friendship in Paine and Baralai. She'd found comfort in Rikku and Brother. She had Gippal, Buddy, and Shinra.

Until today.

It was supposed to be another sphere hunt, one like any other in Djose. Yuna had broken away from Rikku and Paine to explore a cave, in hopes that by spreading out they’d have better luck in finding the sphere. She was trying not to hope too much that the sphere might contain something of him, even if it helped her get through the day. Yuna walked carefully through the cool interior, eyes scanning the surface for any glinting objects. She was too busy looking for the sphere to notice the loose debris, and she tripped clumsily, landing hard on her outstretched hands. She closed her eyes against the fall and waited to hit hard ground, but was shocked when she hit water. Thoroughly confused, Yuna snapped her eyes open and saw she had fallen into a fountain of ebony marble…and she was no longer anywhere near Djose. How she happened to fall in a cave and land in a fountain was beyond her, and it was terrifying.
Grimacing, Yuna pushed herself up, her half-skirt and short jean shorts wet from the fall, and gingerly stepped out of the fountain. She idly played with her floor length braid that was wrapped in a pink bandage and waited with increased breathing for anyone to find her and explain what the heck just happened.

Ash had finished exploring the floor he said he'd explore. He hadn't found anything but rooms, upon rooms. There was nothing truly exciting about the place. Reaching up he pulled his sunglasses off, letting his eyes adjust quickly to the light. It wasn't that it bothered him, and honestly he didn't have anything to hide from these people here. None of them knew who he was, and that, in itself was a relief.

Tucking his glasses into his trench coat he started back down to the lower levels of the mansion. He felt the pull of the gates as someone entered. A doctor from the future who didn't believe in anything but logic. He chuckled, she ought to be interesting to have around. Shaking his head he continued down to his room, and upon opening the door he slipped in and took his trench coat off. Sitting down in a chair, he picked up his electric guitar and began playing it softly, without the amp.

A blonde brow quirked up as he heard the gates open again. He stopped his playing, waiting for a moment and when it appeared that no one else was going to go greet the young lady he put his guitar down and stood.

He began his trek downstairs, eyes watching the woman carefully. She was confused, scared, and she had power that he'd never seen before. He paused at the final step, eying her for a moment with his ever changing silver eyes. "Hello, I am Acheron Parthenopaeus." He inclined his head to her in a slight bow, "Do not be afraid, I will not harm you." Ash knew all too well that his height often intimidated people, along with his eyes which made him wish he'd grabbed his sunglasses.

Finally he took the last step, clasping his hands behind his back as he started over to the desk. There on top of the gleaming wood surface lay a key much like his own. Picking it up, he rounded the desk and pulled out a map from the drawer. Glancing up at her he smiled as softly as he could, "Welcome to the mansion. Have any questions?"

Yuna was no stranger to odd and beautiful eyes. She herself had two mismatching ones, due to her heterochromia, making one blue and one green. And Spira had it's share of different races; Rikku herself had the eyes of an Albhed, meaning they contained an odd swirl to them. But while Ash's eyes didn't flare any fear, his height was intimidating. Not that Seymour hadn't towered over her, but she knew the danger he posed. This stranger was another story, though he claimed no harm. Yuna cleared her throat politely and introduced herself as well. She made the symbol of the Yevon prayer, outstretching her arms and then bringing them to her chest with one hand over the other, cupped as if holding some invisible ball, and bowed. "I'm Yuna Braska." She stood and met his lovely eyes with a small smile.

Yuna walked slowly over to the desk he stood behind, her boots making light clicks on the floor, and peeked around the mansion. She gave him an incredulous look when Ash wondered about her having questions. "I think I have too many. Am I still in Spira?" She'd take this one step at time, instead of bombarding him with how she had gotten here, who else was here, how could she return home, what was going on, who was he, et cetera, et cetera.
