Chapter 5

Guadosalam

Everyone seemed quiet the next morning, when Yuna passed the people on the airship. When she made it to the captain's deck, Kael was there to greet her.

"Hello Lady Yuna," he began, but when Yuna didn't reply, he began again, "It's a wonderful day, isn't it?" Yuna shrugged and stood watching the clouds rush by.

"I was wondering if you would care to join me for lunch?" Kael said. Yuna was thinking of someone else then, not even listening to the handsome Al Bhed. Sighing, Kael left Lady Yuna's side. He walked over to Cid and shrugged.

"Don't give up, kid." Cid murmured.

"I haven't, sir." Kael replied, still watching the beautiful woman.

Guadosalam was a large city full of many people. They were bustling around buying and selling: children played out in the streets and dogs ran abundant chasing stray cats. Cid had told them, that they would meet up in the Macalania Lake. He needed fuel for his air ship. So they would have to walk through Thunder Plains on foot.

The old mansion still stood where it was. The people of Guadosalam had turned it into an Inn. Not to mention a Museum, held by a guado, by the name of Aruba. He had black hair with honey brown eyes. He was already waiting for them at the front of the mansion.

"Ah! Welcome Lady Yuna! I was wondering when you would stop by. We Guado have been waiting for your arrival for some time now." he explained cheerfully. Yuna knew then and there, that he was a very good man. The guado had come to calling him as their rightful leader.

"You have done remarkably well here, Lord Aruba. I am just passing through to see someone in the Farplane. Forgive me for not able to stay any longer, but I am on a long journey." Yuna explained. Wakka, Lulu, and Rikku stood behind Yuna with worried faces.

"Will you be coming back my Lady? Perhaps for a longer stay?" He asked hopefully. Yuna froze at his question and thought it over, she would, she thought.

"I shall be happy to come back for a longer visit." Yuna replied uncertainly. Lord Aruba smiled and bowed, " I will be most gracious if my Lady returns to Guadosalam."

Yuna left her things along with the others at the inn. She had to go to the Farplane today to see him among the pyreflies, to see her parents and lost friends.

"Something is wrong." Wakka whispered to his companions as they followed Yuna behind. Rikku agreed and so did Lulu. Yuna had been acting strange lately, she had many nightmares for the past three nights, and she was eating less.

"I will talk to her after we leave Guadosalam." Said the black mage.

Yuna walked up the marble-like steps to the Farplane. For some reason her legs felt like noodles. Somehow she managed to reach the shimmering wall. With a great sigh, she past through into the other world; ahead of her was a circular out break. Many guado were already there, talking to their long gone loved ones.

Rikku managed to push aside her fear and walk into the forbidden Farplane. She had to see someone too. Auron she mentally whispered and before her Auron appeared. Even though she was young, she loved the man dearly. It was her secret…when they first met, he looked into her eyes and she felt safe. She missed him dearly, but she knew she had to go on with life…

"Auron… I really miss you…" she began.

Yuna stood at the edge and thought of her parents. Her father and mother appeared before her and they smiled at her.

"Father, I am again on a journey, a journey that I cannot turn aside. I don't know where it will lead me, but if I don't follow I will die in grief. I miss you both very much…" Then Tidus appeared beside her parents and he smiled at her. Braska and his wife disappeared and there, suspended in air was Tidus. He too was smiling at her. She didn't say anything, but she stretched her hand out to touch the image before her, only to find air and a few pyreflies. She then remembered once again, that this was just a memory before her. Created from her mind… When she was about to take her hand away, the image of Tidus suddenly moved. His hand past through hers and she snatched it back in surprise. She eyed the illusion and saw Tidus not smiling but frowning. His eyes glanced back into hers and she nearly cried. Did she want this image to move? No she didn't even think of it! Was this? Could this be Tidus's true spirit? No it was impossible…

Without knowing Tidus's image disappeared and at her feet, placed halfway into the ground, was Brotherhood. Yuna took a step back and bumped into Wakka, who was eyeing the sword.

"Where did that come from, Yuna?" he inquired in a low even tone.

"I don't know… it just appeared." Yuna replied. Wakka walked up to the blade and grabbed the hilt. He pulled, but nothing happened! It wouldn't budge. Yuna slowly got the courage to walk up to the ghostly weapon and grabbed the hilt. It came out of the sandy ground easily.

"It's his weapon…" Yuna whispered.

"It's impossible, it died along with him." Wakka said angrily and stormed off. Wakka had lost a brother, but when he lost Tidus, he felt empty of family. He considered Tidus as his brother too. It tore his heart completely when Tidus told them he would disappear. Yuna sighed and clumsily attached the blade to her sash.

On the way out both the girls asked Yuna about the weapon, but Yuna only shrugged telling them she had no idea.

They walked back to the inn without a word.
