Chapter 11

Adieu

Yuna, Rikku, Lulu, Wakka, Kihmari, and Kael left the area of what was once a live dream of Fayth. They ran into a cavern only to find to their luck, that the doors were still open to Zanarkand. They camped for the night at the exit and at morning they set out again.

When they reached the ridge that led to Zanarkand, Yuna gasped when she saw the sunrise glow like red fire across the horizon. It was just as Tidus had explained it! Yet except the city lights going out one by one, pyre flies vanished instead. If only Tidus was there with her, holding her…but he wasn't. She would never see him again.

The group had reached their destination, this was it. The day Yuna would go on with her life, and not be haunted by her nightmares. The others let Yuna go walk about and have her time alone, to say her farewell to the man they knew as a leader. Rikku sat down watching the others while Wakka practiced some of his Blitzball tricks. Rikku laughed as Wakka slipped the ball and hit Kael in the head.

"Hey!" Kael shouted while rubbing the back of his head.

"Sorry `bout that. Hey kid, ya know how to play Blitzball?"

"Do I know?" Kael inquired sarcastically, " I played with the Al Bhed Psyches! Of course I do!"

"But that team could never beat the Aurochs, my team!" Wakka laughed.

"Hey! At least we tried! You had that star player on your team last year and he had us whooped even though we tried our best!" Kael defended.

"Yup that kid sure knew how to kick your butts! Man wish he was around…" Wakka said, "But he taught my team a lot and that's why we take the cup home this year! It was thanks to that Jecht shot he always pulled."

"Yeah I remember. I actually practiced that shot many times and I think I tamed it!" Kael said with a smile.

"all right, let's see ya try." Wakka dared. The two began to show off their skills as everyone else gathered around to watch.

Yuna on the other hand took a deep breath and walked slowly to the edge of a ruined building. At the edge of the strong ground, the water lapped the concrete gently. Its dark blues swirling within its dark dank depths. A few small fish scattered when her silhouette cast its shadow across the surface. Yuna hummed her tune and let her mind flow through every memory her burdened heart held. A strong breeze pushed past her, somehow washing the encumber off her soul slowly like the waves molding the edges to their liking. From her hand fell a few wild flowers, a parting gift to Tidus.

"I will always love you, now and forever in my heart." Yuna whispered letting the wind take them away into the sea. With that she nodded her head and turned around. Tears glazed her eyes as she took one step at a time. Then she stopped, "I wish I could see you again…to hold you. I wished so much to spend the rest of my life with you, to die old with you. I want to be with you… but I can't go back to your world. There is no way, no hope, and no reason for me to dream on of you. I am at my end and now I must begin anew, "Yuna concluded and sobbed, "Farewell Tidus."

This time she ran away crying and passing the stunned group. She ran and ran until she reached the place of the dead Fayth. She hardly heard her friend's calls as they tried to run after her, but she slipped away. She slid down a steep ridge to the lagoon below and fell into its waters. She cried her whole entire soul out. She slammed the surface with her fists cursing until she sauntered back to shore, slowly falling asleep on the sand.
