At the Eidolon Wall

[lastsummoner]

Rydia couldn't help but smile at the reunion between Eiko and her moogles, but there would be time to interact with them all later. As Eiko led them away, she waved...and then turned her thoughts to Eidolons. Unlike the commonalities than Reis pointed out, knowing that many of her Eidolons were known by summoners of other worlds was comforting. She couldn't explain the difference, but it was there and she was grateful that they were all connected thus.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Eidolon Wall, Rydia let Eiko enter first and then followed, seeking the statue of Anima.

[sharemypain]

The echoes of her singing filled the Eidolon Wall, much as they did every day, rain or shine, summoners or no. Much of the Fayth's time was spent in complete isolation and loneliness, and she considered it fitting for what she had done to Seymour by letting taste power. Her power.

Even so, the arrival of summoners was welcome and as she felt them approach, Anima materialized above her stone. "Greetings, Rydia."

[eidolon_soul]

Rydia pauses and bows, respectful. "Greetings, Anima. It is good to see you again. We brought new Summoners with us...and those who are not new, but have yet to remember their previous time in Gaia."

At Eiko's House

[waterblade]

Having been summarily banned from the wall by Yuna (though he wasn't sure why), Tidus had retreated back to Eiko's house to sit down for awhile. He hadn't gotten a chance to do that much lately, although in reality he didn't really want to most of the time, but with all the girls up there it was probably a good idea to get in a nap while he could.

So whenever any of them came back, he could be found in a chair at the table, head tilted completely back, arms folded over his chest, and out like a light. He didn't snore, but his breathing made it very clear he was asleep.

[lastsummoner]

All in all the whole day had been a pleasant one for Eiko. Friends had come, prayers spoken, they'd shared a meal at her house. The night came and one by one the stars came out, the ones that weren't blocked from view by that huge whatever it was hovering over the village. The child wrinkled her nose and glared at it for good measure. It was ruining all her plans for rebuilding the village and filling it with summoners

A strange wind had started to blow around Madain Sari, something odd... something almost surreal, and something completely unknown to this world. It was sweetly scented; very faint, but very powerful at the same time. The wind carried life with it - that was apparent. It did not lift things such as inanimate twigs, leaves, sand. It only touched that which was living.

To Rishfee, he'd felt it before. It was the astral wind; something which only blew around the astral candescence in Al Zahbi. Needless to say, he had awoken. And he moved to the same area as Eiko. He observed her for a short time, and then made his way to her.

"Something is happening..." he half-whispered, moving an arm around her shoulders. "This wind... It isn't trying to hurt us. But..."

Around the Village

[lastsummoner]

[eidolon_soul]

After the Eidolon Wall but before dinner, Rydia took to wandering the streets of Madain Sari. She would join the rest of the guests at Eiko's house soon, but needed to revisit the rest of the town. Though it wasn't her hometown, Rydia nonetheless felt a strong connection to the place, echoes of Mist.

The green-haired summoner started off at the east end of the village, eager to see what had been started in the way of reconstruction. Of course, nothing would be continued until that eyesore hanging in the sky was moved or removed. Rydia darted a scowl upward at it, as though its presence was there to personally insult her. She wanted to see Madain Sari rebuilt almost as much as Eiko, and every day that was delayed, so too was the chance to revive the Summoner tribe as a viable community.

Vanille was out and about as well at that point. She was taking her time getting acquainted with the village and its moogle population. She loved the little fluffballs already. They were just too cute! They reminded her of Sazh's chocobo chick and she sighed sadly. She hoped he, Snow, and Hope were doing well. She missed them so much already.

Not even thinking about where she was going, Vanille let her feet carry her wherever, wandering around the ruins of the village. It reminded her painfully of Oerba and she'd been quiet pretty much all throughout their time here so far. She knew what this meant to Eiko, because she felt the same for Oerba. They were both important places.

Eventually, she noticed Rydia up ahead and moved forward to stand next to her, looking up at the sky with her. "It's so beautiful here, and peaceful. It reminds me of Oerba."

[eidolon_soul]

Rydia smiled at that. "It reminds me of Mist, ruins and all. I can imagine a tribe of Summoners having lived here; a thriving community, much like mine was, once...."

She frowned, darting a glance to the Lunatic Pandora. "Well, except for that thing. It needs to go back to whatever world it came from and leave this one alone."
