Chapter 1: Yuna's Prayer
She tosses and turns in her bed, with tears in her eyes. Dreaming the same dream as many nights past.
Sin is sitting idly, dying. He, the Dream of the Fayth, jumps off the airship. Before she can embrace him one last time, he is gone. Even though she cannot feel him, his soul holds her close for the last time.
Lady Yuna had done many things in the year past. She headed the rebuilding of Zanarkand, the great machina city. She even founded the local professional blitzball team, the Zanarkand Abes. In return, the newly elected mayor of Zanarkand offered her a home in the growing machina city. Her reason, though, for doing all this was for him. In his memory. For Tidus.
After the memory of Tidus' disappearance, Yuna remembers the only moment she was ever truly happy. It was in Macalania Wood. She just wanted to be alone. But he proved that that was the last thing she wanted. He told her what his Zanarkand looked like. He told her they would fly there, and have fun in the middle of the night. And then, he told her about the sunrise. It hurt her to know she wouldn't be able to see it. She cried knowing she couldn't be with him after Sin was gone. Then, he kissed her, making the tears go away.
Finally, Lady Yuna awakened, eyes full of tears. Normally, she would have gone back to sleep, only to be haunted by the painful memories once again. But tonight, her heart wore too much on her chest. If her love wouldn't come to her, she would come to him. She walked to the balcony of her penthouse. It did not take long for people to notice the white nightgown flowing in the dark night. People cried to Yuna, telling her not to jump. As she cried, Yuna did something most people in Spira hadn't done in a long time, pray. She didn't know who she was praying to, just to anyone who was listening. She prayed for a sign of his return.
Suddenly, a short, high-pitched whistle came from behind her. She could recognize that whistle even if everyone in Spira whistled at the same time. It was him, Tidus. He said quietly, "Get off there before you hurt yourself."
She ran to his open arms. Yuna cried on his shoulder, muttering, "You were gone so long," and "All those nights without you..." He simply shushed her and comforted her as she cried her misery out. Finally, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hers around his neck, and kissed for the first time in a year. As they kissed, Yuna could taste a salty tear on his lips. As though whoever heard Yuna's prayer wanted to make up for her misery, the sun started to rise over the sea, making the horizon seem as though it was on fire.
