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.

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.

Ash's eyes watched her every movement, amused by the complex gestures of greeting. He smiled at her and bowed once again himself. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Yuna Braska." He meant it, and you could tell by the smile that met his swirling silver eyes. He was thankful that nothing had been brought up about his own eyes, for once. It was a small relief to the god. He could get to like it here, if he had Artie's blood. Without that, well, he was SOL.

He chuckled softly, holding out her key for her and a map of the mansion. His blonde brows furrowed slightly. Spira? He'd never heard of this place, world...whatever it was. He shook his head, "I'm afraid not. I think we're in a place called Earth. It's a planet in the Milky Way solar system." However, Ash wasn't a hundred percent sure that they were still in fact on Earth. That concerned him slightly, but as far as he could tell that's exactly where they were at. "Do you mind telling me about your world? This Spira, I've never heard of it, and that's very odd for me." He could've very well found out the information for himself but he would much rather her speak of it out loud to him. He wasn't a prying person and God forbid someone came into the mansion that could read him.

"Everything that you'll need to know about the mansion is on the map. Who's here, where certain rooms are and so on. However, it could change at any time, there are forces here beyond our control that keep us here." He started explaining somewhat what was going on. "The forces have also given the mansion and the island around it sort of a life of its own." He crossed his arms over his chest, and waited on her next questions that were sure to come.

Yuna felt much more at ease, and welcome, by Ash's smile, and she turned her shy grin into a smile of her own to match his. "Thank you, Acheron." She gratefully accepted the key and map offered to her, listening as he spoke, but eying the map with careful scrutiny. She did look up when he mentioned Forces keeping them from leave, her brow creasing with worry. "Can't leave? But..." She shook her head, perplexed. "That doesn't make any sense," she mumbled.

Yuna's worry evaporated temporarily as she described her home world in a proud and animated voice. "Oh, of course! There are twenty two places locations within my world. I was born in Bevelle, the largest city in Spira, but raised on the tropical island of Besaid after my mother died. I became a High Summoner, like my father, which called for Pilgrimages throughout Spira to the Calm Lands. There are flat fields there, surrounded my mountains. We have four races in Spira; humans, Al-Bhed, Ronso, and Guado, and of course different languages. We have monsters, like Imps and Flans, and we have the much nice Chocobos. You can tame Chocobos for riding. Did you want me to describe each place within Spira, like Djose or the Bikanel Desert?" For now, her questions could wait. Talking about home was comforting.

((Is next to alright? I'm giving him room 421, so she can either have room 420 or 422!))

Ash inclined his head to her once again, "You are welcome, Yuna." His lips pursed slightly as she spoke, and he lifted a shoulder. "It really doesn't and trust us, we're trying to find a way back home. I know that people probably really don't want to be here, and want to get back to their lives in their own worlds." He knew he did, but he really wasn't looking forward to Artemis' punishment for his disappearance. Oh well, she'd get over it in due time. He found it quite odd that he couldn't even hear her, but it was a welcome break from the nagging goddess. "If we all band together I think we might be able to find a way out, the price though for bartering with the people who made this place will probably be a steep one though. Just to warn you."

Ash tilted his head to the side, long blonde hair falling over one shoulder. He smiled as she spoke of her land, picturing it with his mind's eye. He wouldn't pry for the actual images in her mind, he could feel her uneasiness wearing away, and that made him happy to see that she was comfortable. He nodded, "Yes, I would like for you to, and tell me more of the Chocobos. They sound interesting." He pulled the chair out from behind the desk, sitting down in it. With a flick of his hand there was a chair on the other side of the desk, "Have a seat if you wish. If you are hungry or thirsty just say so, the mansion provides food and drink for its inhabitants." He tilted the chair back on two legs, crossing his arms once again over his chest and waited on her to continue.
