After the Tears
Authors note:Hey,been awhile!The Spira Times will be fully operational within days,so,if you've been waiting,you can be happy.
Yuna leaned on th balcony railing,and sighed.How long had he been gone? she wondered.She shifted her weight on the rail.A year,i'm almost certain.
A year.
The thought struck Yuna as odd.Time had seemed to pass so slowly without him.What felt like 100 years was only minutes.But those minutes were without him.Everything,everywhere,the world never felt so desolate and cold before he left.Without hesitating,she ran from the balcony,to the stairs,down those and throughthe front door.Running as if her life depended on what she was about to do.Peoplecrying out,"Lady Yuna!" to no avail.Yuna was on a mission.
A few moments later,she arrived at the docks,panting,gasping for air.She edged toward the end of the small wooden platform andlooked out to sea.Yuna remembered what Tidus had told her.If you whistle,i'll come running.Yuna stood on the edge,back straight.She put her fingers to her lips,and whistled.A long,shrill note that cut the
air like a knife.Yuna persisted.He wont come back,she told herself,He wont come running!
Tears rolled down her cheeks as the whistles became more and more delacate sounding.
Yuna fell to the ground,face buried in her hands,sobs racking her body.
Eventualy the sun began it's decent.Yuna tried to regain as
much composure as she could,then started to head back.A stranger stopped her on the way.
"I'm sorry for your loss"she said timidly.The girl bowed deeply.
"Oh....thank you.Very much."
Yuna started to walk away again,and the girl ran up behind
her.A quick hug,a whisper of "I'm sorry,my lady" and the girl was off down the street.Yuna,
for the first time in a long time,smiled.
The house was quiet when Yuna returned.She asked no questions,nor tried to find anyone.She simply went up the stairs,to her room.Later,
laying on the bed,Yuna realized something.She rose and went over to a trunk that held
little trinkets she had collected.Opening it,Yuna found what she had been looking for.
A sphere,of the two of them talking and laughing.And she watched,fond memories
flickering in the dark,the only other light coming from the moon.
It'll be hard,without him.But somehow,I think i'll manage.
