||Love and Conjury||

I was young and alone at 23 years old as I left my sister and brother-in-law's home. I was afraid of the very world I was stepping into. The fear that I would face my end still stuck in the back of my mind. I studied a great deal before I went out into the world. Amelia and Devlin thought the best solution was to find me a gentleman, but it just didn't feel right.
Little did I know, I would be stumbling upon a gentleman I fancied more than the ones that they carefully and thoughtfully tried to pair me up with, but it was one-sided to the very end. He did not know of my feelings and saw me as his 'little sister' and we were teacher and student.
His name was Gwydion. He was a 27 year old with wild red hair and emerald eyes who was handy with a sword and a staff. We met in the Conjurer's guild in Gridania as I wished to learn. A more experienced, but novice conjurer Esperanza Moon introduced me to him as he was her 'teacher' and apart of the free company she was apart of. Gwydion met me one day and warmly took me under his wing. I became a fixture in the Azul Moon headquarters and they nicknamed me 'Little Faol' because Gwydion was quite social and he discovered my old nickname from my brother-in-law Devin and he joked that it fit well. Apparently he often filled orders for Gwydion. Just like his red hair, he seemed to always be the center of attention. He always had time for me and was my greatest teacher.
The last memory I have of him, is sad, but it reminds me of how loving he was to everyone...
A hyur gentleman with long wild messy flame red hair that went down to his chin and emerald eyes stared at Yehmiya with a gentle smile. It was Teacher Gwydion after all, a man that Yehmiya greatly admired and looked up to. He wore a simple grey robe and a long wooden staff could be seen from the back. He waved to her, "There's my little faol!"
Her gentle azul eyes met his as she batted her eyes nervously. She held her wooden cane staff stiffly in her hands.
Gwydion walked closer and pulled her in for a hug, "Oh my dear little faol, do not worry. I don't think we should of taken you out yet after what happened to Esperanza..."
Yehmiya blushed a bit, but wrapped her arms around him, "Teacher Gwydion...I feel so powerless. If you weren't there...we would of all been killed...I need more training." A tear fell down her cheek.
Gwydion patted her back lovingly, "The only way to learn is from experience." He looked at her with seriousness her in eyes, "You are great when it comes to learning from books, but in order to truly master something one needs to step out..." He sighs, "Unfortunately...that means taking risks Miya."
Yehmiya pulled away and sat on the dirt ground near the camp as she curled up into a ball sighing and tearing up, "I rather stay inside and read all day instead."
Gwydion looked down at her and explained, "You will will be powerless forever unless you practice. I see potential in you..."
Yehmiya looked up at him solemnly, "Esperanza was talented, but look where that brought her."
Gwydion leaned closer and shook his head, "Sometimes fate is cruel. She was on a dangerous mission. Unfortunately...in our line of work as hired hands...this can happen."
Gwydion sits down next to her and looks at her closely, "Esperanza would of wanted you to smile Miya. She was a noble lady...who served us well. I know you have faced lots of deaths in your life....they may disappear." He pats his chest for a brief moment and continues, "They live in on...in our hearts."
Yehmiya nods and stops sniffling, "I hope I can honor thee well with a long and happy life."
Gwydion gets up and puts his hand out, "Then let us start Miss Faol by..eating and drinking...in honor of our lost comrades!"
Yehmiya puts her hand into his and he pulls her up. She lets out a weak smile, "Ah well I can't say no to food."
Gwydion smirked, "It is the key to this lasses heart am I right?"
Yehmiya nodded as she put her hand down at her side letting go of his, "You know me well teacher. Just...for drinks."
Gwydion chuckled, "I know...I'll make sure the brew you are given is weak."
Yehmiya blushed, "Last time...a fellow company member...gave me a strong drink just on purpose!"
Gwydion's eyes widened in shock, "They must of heard the rumors...and wanted to see."
Yehmiya's eyes narrowed and she twitched a bit, "Sometimes people can be...quite noisy!"
They walked off into the hall chattering and brainstorming about foods they wanted to eat.....
That was the last fond and loving memory I had of him. He died a year later before I could ever gain the courage to confess my true feelings to him. The day I got my first chocobo...I named him in honor of this man. A man who was loving, kind, and noble. Gwydion...Gwee for short became my best companion.

He taught me that the best way to honor past loved ones is the keep them in your heart and live a happy and long life. Instead of closing yourself off to the world, find more reasons to smile...
I hope to be as strong as he was someday. He was my greatest teacher who taught me how to love and heal. He gave me the 'power' I never thought I had. No longer to I feel as powerless as I did in the closet as a 12 year old as my adoptive mother was attacked and murdered...
