The sun shone down brightly onto the emerald foliage of the island of Besaid. soft waves lapped onto the shore as the Besaid Auroks practiced lead by there captain. He was not that old fourteen at most his dark locks fell into his face. his hair was slightly wavy and seemed unkempt. He watched as the ball was passed from one member to another scrutinizing them like they where bugs in a magnifying glass.
"Keepa stop waisting you energy..." he called out to a chubbier member there keeper. The man nodded at him and he sighed. Haku looked like everyone did here slightly odd like a mix between mid evil and modern. he wore black shorts that had red details one included a tribal dragons head on his right pocket. thick metal chains draped from two red strips of hoops on both sides of them. on his arm was a piece of armor that ended in a long spike like blade. on the other arm was a shoulder piece that held yet another long spike this one going out from the shoulder.
around his neck was a thick collar. on his back was the item that stuck out the most about this kid. he had a six foot heavy blade it's handle going above his head as it was much to large for his slightly slender frame. he frowned at the team watching them carefully. he was one of the top Blitzballers however that didn't help there ranking in the tournaments.

The girl, sixteen or seventeen years of age, looked down over one of the short walls dividing the town from the beach. She wore a short black pleated skirt with high black leather boots, a purply tank top and black gloves. Around her neck was a necklace in the shape of a pretty, intricate heart. The blitzball players, always at work. Her lavender eyes narrowed slightly. Their leader seemed to be quite the slave driver. Thank god she had never been into blitzball. The art of black magic had always fascinated Halex. She loved knowing she had the ability to summon any element at will. And Halex often used this to her advantage or amusement. Today was no different. She felt the need to further exasperate the stressed captain.
With one look at the water, a large wave came upon the shore and soaked most of the team, interrupting their practice at least for a moment. Halex giggled somewhat, her blonde curls bouncing up and down at the motion. She continued to watch them, anticipating the leaders certain frustration.

Haku hadn't been paying mind to the shore instead he had been busy giving Letty and Botta a Lesson on tackling. so, instead of hitting them with a hard tackle the boy was swept off his feet and dunked into the water. the rest of the team was luckier then there young captain and only got soaked to there chests. the boy stood up in the water and glared right in Halex's direction. this was not the first time the young gaurdian inteerfeered with his training, and Haku had a feeling it wouldn't be the last. Unlike his gentile sister Haku had always been slightly edgy and high strung. in less then a moment the boy had bounded to where she stood standing right in front of her. he glared at her slightly shorter then the older girl.
"Aren't you suppose to be guarding my sister with Kimarhri..." he said his two toned eyes where both vibrant variations of there color unlike his sisters witch seemed to be slightly faded blue and green.

Halex smirked, her eyes happy at the reaction. "They are out in the market. Told me to go explore the town a bit and make sure nothing was on the way. Sucks that your teams practice was ah... interrupted... wonder how THAT happened...." though her words were innocent her smirk showed that she knew just exactly what had happened.

Not only did she know but he knew as well the young black mage got Haku angry more often then not. it wasn't as if he hadn't tried to like her as she was one of Yuna's good friends close enough for Yuna to ask her as her gaurdain. but, she was constantly doing things like this to him. He sighed as he looked at her then looked down at him team.
"HEY! GET TO WORK!...." he yelled as they where all slacking off. the group sighed and then started to pass the ball back and forth. Haku then looked at Halex. "...Come on...we should do our job...she's going to be going into the closter of trials today..." the kid said calming himself.

"Yes, that's true. It won't be too long now. She'll succeed though. Yuna was meant to do this..." Halex said, her smirk dissolving into a regular expression. "You know I only do stuff like that to you because your reactions are so funny. You get too angry. Just enjoy yourself." the pretty blonde said, passing him a sidelong glance as she began walking towards the center of town where Yuna and Kimahri were. "You coming?" Halex asked, smirking once more.

Haku followed he rolling his eyes why did that girl exasperate him so much. he was quick on his feet as they made there way to the village he could see his older sister already talking with the tall Ronso or at least tall to them. Kimarhri was an old firend of theres and had been Yuna's gaurdian since she was small. Haku walked over to them. his sister smiling at him.
"Oh hello...Haku...Halex" Yuna said in her normally breathy tone. Haku smiled at her and stood right next to her. he was proud to have a summoner for a sister. "Me and Kimahri where just about to go get you...I will enter the Cloister of Trials in a little while and I wanted you two with me" she smiled kindly at them.

Halex smiled and nodded. "We figured as much. Thats why we went ahead and came. Also a freak wave interrupted Haku's practice, so it was as good a time as any. " she smiled sweetly at Yuna, sure that Haku wouldn't correct her. Halex made sure Yuna knew nothing of her funny little pranks on Haku. Yuna just wouldn't approve. Well then again.. he WAS her brother so she just might laugh... either way, Halex simply didn't feel it was the time to bring it up.

Haku glared at Halex half tempted to tell his sister of her friends 'Freak Wave' but thought better of it she had to much on her mind right now. he was proud of his big sister more so then any of the others in the group. they had always been close ever since there oldest sister had disappeared when Yuna was five and Haku was four.
"You'll do well sis'" Haku said putting his hand on her sholder. she smiled down at her shorter little brother and nodded.
"Thank you Haku..."she smiled and then looked at Halex "I thank you for joining me as a gaurdain as well Halex" she smiled kindly.

"It's an honor Yuna. Being a guardian is a noble job, and there is nothing I could ever imagine wanting to do more. Shall we head to the temple?" Halex asked, motioning to the large building place right at the center of town.

Yuna nodded then smiled and started to walk Haku followed her closely behind Kimarhi in front of her. when the enter the temple the large open space was full of worshipers bowing to the numorus statues scattered through out the main chamber. Haku walked up to one of the twin statues guarding the door to the cloister of trials and bowed to it his hands forming the familiar praise to Yeavon sign. Yuna did so as well and Kimarhi just watched them stoical as always.

Halex also made the sign, waiting to be granted entry to help Yuna proceed. She wondered what kind of sphere puzzle this temple would have, not knowing if it would be difficult or not. "Which aeon are you after again?"

"My first Aeon...Valeforth" Yuna said softly with a smile to her companion. She had know Halex for some time now and had in her normal nature become friends to her. "I hope this goes quickly...Sin is growing stronger every day." she frowned softly. Haku watched her and sighed himself as the leader of the temple greeted them and let them pass into the cloister of trails.
"Every one on gaurd..." Haku said as they entered. Yuna laughed lightly at her serious brother.
"Haku...It's not like anything is going to attack us in here..." she smiled "Right Halex?" she smiled at the other girl.

Halex nodded. "Yeah we are safe Haku... the cloister of trials is really only a puzzle, a test of determination and intelligence.... its a mind game, not a war. We will have to fight once we leave Besaid. That's when its the time to be on guard...."

Haku huffed at both of the girls as he sighed and walked ahead of them.
"..Fine...you girls figure out the puzzle then" he huffed slightly at them. Yuna watched as his brother marched ahead of them and shook her head softly. Haku had always been slightly touchy about everything. she frowned lightly.
"... well I guess we should keep up with him..." she said lightly as she looked at halex.

Halex nodded, her eyes having already taken in the two pedestals by one wall, one with a faint red hue and one with a faint blue hue. She then turned and looked around once more, catching sight of a red orb and a blue orb. "Well this is deceptively simple.." she said with a grin as she first walked over the red orb. Halex placed it in the red pedestal which glowed brighter. She then went back and picked up the blue orb, which Halex proceeded to place in the blue pedestal. As the blue orb was placed, a door appeared between them and opened. "Yuna I think that's your welcome..." she smirked slightly.

Yuna smiled softly at her and then nodded lightly.
"Thank you Halex..." she smiled as she walked forward Haku who had been sulking in the corner followed her. Kimarhi waited for Halex to go through the door as he always brought up the rear. Yuna walked into the next room there was one closed door infront of them and two branched of hallways. she looked at Halex slightly.
"I think we need to open this door..." she spoke softly.

Halex nodded. "Yes I agree. How do you think we can open it..." she looked down the two hallways. "There's probably a key or another orb in one of those hallways..."

Haku looked at Halex and frowned. he walked away from the group and moments later came back with a red orb he walked up to the main wall and placed the orb in it suddenly the wall collapsed in a heap.
"...easy..." he said shortly. Yuna shook her head lightly at him with a soft laugh.
"Your such a show off sometimes Haku" she said

"aw you were just trying to impress me weren't you Haku?" Halex said with a laugh, further antagonizing the poor fourteen year old. She then stepped aside and waited, as always, for her summoner to enter first.
