I like this, and I think you've done a really good job of boiling the essence of FFX down into this story so that the meaning comes across even though the details do not. I also like the allusion to Perseus and the Medusa.
The idea of summoning as a song, rather than a dance and a set of gestures as it appears in the game, works very well with the bardic slant to the piece, and I love how people come not to see them off, but rather to not see them because by making this choice, they are already dead.
