Chapter I - A Positively Beautiful Morning

---

"What a beautiful morning it is today!" Wesley exclaimed with a soft, cheerful smile.

As he strolled through Besaid village, dressed in his usual robes that the summoner has always been known to wear on any given day, Wesley went to every tent and gave everyone in the village a smile, often joining them in prayer. From the moment the sun caressed the village, he was ready to tackle the day. Everyone from the blacksmith to the Priests at the temple, Wesley was offering his services by joining them in the morning prayer sessions that were held daily. Though times have been rocky for Spira and believing in New Yevon’s teachings, Wesley never lost faith.

Standing up from his seated position within the Village Leader’s tent, Wesley bowed, his arms stretching apart, body crouched slightly, and then he brought his arms close to him, bending them in an equal ninety degrees as his hands were over each other. “May Yevon be with you,” he said, bowing his head.

“Thank you, Wesley. My daughter has been sick and your coming here has put our hearts at ease. I can feel my daughter’s spirit returning and that’s all thanks to you. How could we ever repay your kindness?”

Wesley waved away the Village Leader. “There is no need for that, Chaka. I’m happy knowing that my visits this past week has brought you some form of peace. With Yevon, peace and happiness are possible.”

Chaka nodded as Wesley left the tent, letting the rays of sunshine bathe on his light skin. When paired up with the gentle breeze that just picked up, Wesley could feel the spirits in the village improving. The smiles that were in fewer amounts were returning. The children who had previously fallen ill were no longer as ill as they once were. If there was anything Wesley could ask for out of the villagers it would be they could benefit from Wesley praying with every single one of them.

Taking only another moment longer to breathe in the clean air, Wesley went about his path. In the two hours he had been praying with Chaka and his family, Wesley had only one last stop before his morning routine was over and that was going to the temple to offer his prayers to the Fayth.

Before Wesley could, however, he hear the familiar sound of a friend’s voice. “Isn’t this the seventh time this week?"

“Good morning, Savayna!” He smiled cheerfully at her, seeing the redhead coming from the mountains. “How did your hunting trip go?”

“As well as to be expected. Kyrie and Touta nearly injured themselves, but we managed to catch a big one for tonight’s feast.”

Wesley was pleased to hear that. “I’m happy. The village is better for it, I’m sure of it!” He was positive of that.

As they walked, Savayna seemed to just roll her eyes at how positive Wesley was. “Don’t you ever have a lower setting for your positivity?” She asked him point blank.

As they seemed to reach the stairs to the temple, Wesley looked at Savayna with quite the puzzled expression. “I don’t know what you mean by that.”

“Well, you’re always so damn cheerful and positive. It’s a bit disturbing that someone I’ve known since most of the time living here has never shown an ounce of negativity or self-doubt. How do you do it, Wesley?”

Even though she explained herself, Wesley was still confused. “I’m sorry, my friend, I still don’t understand. Is there a bad thing about having a positive outlook?”

“Not necessarily, but there’s no way someone could be so happy all the time.”

He still didn’t quite understand where this was coming from, but Wesley shrugged it off. He couldn’t help it. When he saw the smiling faces of the children and all of the villagers who gave him such praise, he couldn’t help but feel humble that people he had known his entire life would honor him with their praise. He didn’t deserve it and he didn’t need it, but that didn’t stop them. The only thing Wesley could do was keep servicing the villagers with his prayers and good wishes.

“I’m just honored that the villagers allow me to pray with them,” Wesley offered to Savayna, hoping his words would offer her some kind of peace of mind.

In return, she rolled her eyes, though as she would see Wesley start to walk up the stairs that led to the temple, she saw one of the priests, Kiat, come this way.

“Wesley! I’m so glad you’re here!” Kiat, who was a man of Wesley’s height and twice his age, was also a man with grayed hair and faded steely eyes.

“Priest Kiat! I was just about to head into the temple for my scheduled prayer with the Fayth.” Wesley informed Kiat, giving his mentor a smile.

“I’m afraid that will have to be put on hold, Wesley. You have a visitor.”

Though he was surprised, Wesley welcomed it regardless. “A visitor for me? Who are they?”

“She wouldn’t say. The only thing she said was that she was here to visit the Summoner of Besaid and wouldn’t take no for an answer.”

And now Wesley was confused for the second time in less than ten minutes. Last he checked, he was not a summoner. He had all the tools, but he has yet to gain the official title. And he wouldn’t until the Fayth allowed him to have the Aeon’s power. Nevertheless, though, Wesley was as intrigued as his mind would allow. “Very well. Take me to the outsider,” Wesley told Kiat, looking at Sav, though he saw the way she was looking at him.

“Not a chance. I’m coming with.”

He knew when it was wise to simply nod when it came to Savayna. She was, if nothing else, an adamant girl. Her fire and strong will were one of the things Wesley respected about her. Everything about her was driven by her will to become stronger. Despite her height disadvantage, Savayna proved it to the men of the village that she was just as tough as they were. Something Wesley knew none of them would admit was how much stronger than them she was.

“Very well. Let us be on our way, then.”

Appearance Details Ever since she was a little girl, Savayna has often been complimented for her scarlet-colored hair and her emerald-colored eyes (not to be confused with the shade of green Al Bhed eyes are). Coupling that with her flawless complexion, Savayna grew from a very beautiful, if not somewhat spunky and attitude-fueled little girl, to a young woman with that attitude and fire with hair deeper than a mage's firaga and eyes greener than the fields of the Calm Lands. And paired with that came the body of a young woman with admirable curves, though she is relatively thin. She boasts a modest body with a lean tone all over. The downside to her thin stature and lean build is the lack of a height on her. Of everyone in her age group, Savayna is probably the shortest with her being closer to five feet than midway to it, though she does make up for it with her athleticism. Savayna has a particular lean to wearing light armor comprised of either double-covered leather or light chainmail. It has a multi-seasonal resistance and, to her, it pairs well with her Hunting Lance. Since lighter armor means Savayna can move around more, she prefers it. The armor she's known for wearing specifically is carved from a mixture of white and blue leather dipped and coated in a special oil that gives it a glass-like shine. She also wears a half-helm that adds to her overall visage. Background Most of Savayna's life is unknown to her. She remembers a land full of blue-like creatures, but the rest seems to be blocked out for some reason. She was found outside of Besaid Village when she was just ten years old with a set of armor and supplies to craft it, a hunting spear with a note that read: Please take care of her. She needs the help that we cannot provide. The origins of whoever wrote that note, even to this day, remains a mystery to Savayna and at some point, she will set off on a journey of her own to find who wrote this note and find where she came from. No matter where it will lead her, she has made this vow to herself since she became aware of it five years ago. Since that day, she's been training, honing her magic and combat skills by taking lessons with Wesley's black magic teacher as well as joining the village's hunters on various trips and hunts so she will be well-equipped with the means to do whatever it took to find out where she came from. Fighting Style Savayna is likely one of the most versatile fighters of her age. Highly regarded as a prodigy, her fighting style is a brilliant combination of a unique form of dark ice magic that, when cast, creates various forms of a red ice element that is likely reflective of her spunky soul and her lean-to ice magic (she failed out on all the other classes of elemental magic). She combines the two in a nearly-flawless impressive display of a paladin-like skill of being able to combine physical abilities with magic, unlike anything Spira has seen. Whether its soloing with ice magic or thrusting/piercing/slashing with her spear/lance displays an uncanny ability to unleash quick, fast bouts of strength with little error, though, on the downside, Sav doesn't really do well against fire foes or those with extra-heavy-duty armor/skin. Her spear doesn't pierce through them and for the fire-types, her ice magic dissolves from the high temperatures. When Savayna pushes her body to the absolute limits, she enters a state of borderline berserker's rage that is often called Vermillion Winter. It is a highly volatile and explosive overdrive that maximizes every aspect of Savayna's capabilities from her magic to the physical aspects of her entire being. In this state, Savayna holds up her spear as her red ice floats around it, turning the entire tip into a razor-sharp, crimson-colored blade of ice that, when she jumps up and stabs the ground, it sends a wave of ice magic through the ground, freezing it instantly and sending a quickly-moving wave of ice three yards around her in ever direction, freezing everything in its path. It lasts for a total of ten seconds before breaking apart. Should it be powerful enough, it could cause permanent fractures int he ground and cause semi-permanent frostbite to living organisms. Others will simply be damaged severely. Misc Savayna takes her training just as seriously as she does her daily snarking of her friends. When she isn't practicing her daily training routines, she's giving people who may not even be her friend a hard time, though they know she only means it half the time. The rest is to just get a reaction out of them.
