Elle could see that everyone seemed to be in panic mode as everyone tried to protect the ones they love. Did they completely forget about the Elders, who seemed to run wildly through the flames and over the corpses of the onces they've governed? Aura seemed to be very powerful indeed, Elle watched with a mere snap the girl could summon the powers of her Mana Pool, completely opposite hers. Black Magic. It is that if a White Mage was to use Black Magic, it would be poisonous to their Mana Pool, and the same for a Black Mage with White Magic, causing an equal balance in the two. Somehow, Red Mages seem to find a loop hole in their Mana Pool to cast both magics, as dangerous as it may be. Though Magic fatigues fighters who may use it, they are capable of using both, since there Mana Pool isn't devoted to Magic, rather their actual fighting skills."She's... Different," Yuri said to Elle."You're telling me." She responded quickly, watching the girl go through the Seekers like a stack of popsicles on a hot summer day. She was strong, so strong it made Elle wish she wasn't so weak.
They had planned to go to the Mages Guild, the most seemingly safe place. In the east wing, Study of Black Magic, in the west wing Study of White Magic, a place Elle would hope she'd never have to go back to after the death of Maryia, the place that held dark memories for Elle. The heavy breathing of a nearby person got Elle's attention. She turned her head, with a gasp she cried,"Head Elder!" She ran over to the wounded old woman who was laying on her back, hands over a bloody wound that pierced right through her stomach."Here let me help." Elle said in a whimpering voice, when Elle was about to place her hand over the wound, the Head Elder grabbed it, putting Elle's hand in her own lap.
"No child. Let me die an honorable death, protecting a place I've worked so hard to create,"She begun to cough, blood partials erupting from her mouth,"You, Yuri, Aura, and the others are very important to Spira," She said softly,"The guardians are blessed by The Elder Spirits. Your gifts lay within, within your souls. They've implanted a piece of their Source within each of you, which is why the Pyreflies were attracted to you all." The Elder wasn't making much sense to Elle, though she listened patiently, as she slowly stroked the head of the dying elder." You have must had felt it before. The source. whenever you are feeling alone in the world, as if no one truly understand you?" Elle nodded."They've all felt the same way. It's because you are different amongst the rest of us. You all are the key to defeating Sin. There is an Air Ship in the forest we have hidden not to far from here. The Source of all the guardians would be able to start the ship again. You must all go to the Aeon Temples, and release the Aeon's from their slumbers. It will be a challenging task, but the Aeon's spirits will be able to roam the world freely, and in the final battle, they will come to your aid. It takes at least 3 guardians to unlock the soul of a single Aeon, remember that before jumping into a battle carelessly. Please, protect this haven, save whoever is left. Spira is in grave danger." With her last breath, the elders eyes closed. Elle watched silently as the creases in the elders face grew pale. Elle got up from her knees and went back to the others. It seemed whatever the others was doing, was working. The Seeker population seemed to decrease. She saw Yuri."Yuri,"She called for him, trying to hold back the tears,"The Head Elder is dead. She told me before she died, that there was an Air Ship, hidden in the forest. She told me we had to go to the Aeon Temples. We have to round up everyone when we are done here there is no time to lose."
