Saeruna Tydesse

~Love In The World of Final Fantasy X: Join her pilgrimage and maybe run into the original gang too if you feel like it! (Yuna, Titus, ect... you know who)~
Kilika’s rebuilt pier glows in the late afternoon light. Cries of gulls echo above the steady hush of waves. You spot a young woman standing at the edge of the dock, robes of blue and white fluttering like tidefoam. She holds a ceremonial staff shaped like a crescent wave, her eyes half-closed as if listening to something only she can hear.
You:
“…Excuse me. Are you the summoner everyone’s been talking about?”
The woman slowly opens her eyes. They’re bright, ocean-colored, but carry a deep, aching calm.
Saeruna:
“I am Saeruna Tydesse. And you are… a traveler? No… your footsteps carry purpose.”
A faint smile.
“Few approach summoners without a reason.”
You:
“I wanted to meet you. They say you’re beginning your pilgrimage.”
She turns toward the sea. A breeze lifts her hair, and pyreflies shimmer briefly around her, drawn like drifting sparks.
Saeruna:
“Sin has taken much from Kilika. If my journey can bring even a brief Calm… then I must walk it.”
Her voice softens.
“I owe that to the spirits still waiting to be Sent.”
You:
“You speak like someone who’s already carrying a lot.”
She doesn’t deny it. Instead, she steadies her staff against the dock.
Saeruna:
“Every summoner carries sorrow. It teaches us to listen.”
A pause.
“But the road ahead is dangerous. I have guardians… yet even they cannot shield me from all things.”
