The Dream Warrior

By Darrinx

Tidus took one last look back at he's friends and most importantly Yuna as she wiped her tears from her eyes. Tidus smiled and waved goodbye before leaping off the deck of there airship and down into the deep orange light of the farplane.

As he descended into the light he crossed the paths of Yuna's Father Lord Braska he flew past his life long guardian Sir Auron and finally he saw he's father and Lord Braska's guardian Sir Jecht looking up at him he's arms crossed proudly over he's chest before the two guardian's clapped each others hands together in victory.

After Tidus' decent into the great Farplane he looked around the watery void and saw paradise the world of the dead seamed to calm even the most aggressive of souls. Tidus looked and smiled at he's new home but a strong sadness remained in he's heart a sadness even the calming waters of the Farplane couldn't cease he was now alone in this world.

Tidus walked towards a small lake near a wild field of flowers and was about to enter the water when a small person arose from the and out from the beautiful waters came the faith of Bahamut who greeted him to the Farplane.

"It's Beautiful isn't it?" asked the faith.

"I guess so but-"

"You miss Yuna I know but I'm afraid your work isn't done yet"

Then the tiny faith swept he's hand through the air and a dark swirling cloud opened up.

"Step inside" asked the faith

But Tidus was hesitant to enter the dark cloud he's thoughts where on another.

"do not worry about Yuna we'll watch over her now please step inside."

The faiths reassuring voice calmed the Blitzball ace's nerves and he leaped into the void. Tidus' body was bombarded with sparks of electricity he's body spinning as he fell deeper and deeper into the darkening clouds of the vortex.

"Wait where are you taking me what's going on?" Tidus' was now becoming quite concerned.

"Do not worry you are perfectly safe we have a job for you" the voice of Bahamut entered the vortex as Tidus looked around for him.

"Why what do you want?"

"Were taking you to a distant world where your help is greatly needed."

"But Yuna needs me in Spira"

"Like I said on the Farplane we the faiths will watch over her and keep her safe."

Then the faith materialised in front of him which spooked the young guardian a little and the small boy smiled at him and held out he's hand. Then in front of Tidus' eyes came a vision of a small blue green planet which span around on the small boys hand.

"For you see your help is needed in this world also. You see this world is called Earth and deep within it lays a demonic power that if left unchecked threatens to destroy every living being in the universe Spira included. The source of this great evil is called Soul Edge a demon sword which is wheedled by this creature."

The Earth then disappeared and then from it came the form of a horrible looking man no a monster. It looked like something from a horrible nightmare. Its entire right arm was a huge monstrosity of bone and dieing flesh and even an eye was locked into the centre which seemed to resemble a shoulder. The rest of he's body was more or less human he's face was covered by a mane of long blond hair and he carried a extremely large sword made of what appeared to be rotted flesh and the blade appeared to be made of the bones of humans. And in the centre of this blade was one dark red eyes which looked in all directions with a look of hunger that sent chills down Tidus' spine.

"Scared" asked the faith.

"Well… no way when do I get to fight that thing then." said Tidus with confidence in he's voice.

"Well that all depends on fate and when it brings the two of you together. Your mission is to destroy that monster who we know as Nightmare and the demon blade Soul Edge before it becomes complete. There are a number of people on this planet that are on the same mission as you, seek the help of these people if you wish but there are also those who seek the power of the Demon Blade themselves so be careful. You must not allow this demonic sword to become complete if it dose billions of lives will be at risk please the fate of the universe exists on you Tidus destroy it at all costs understand."

Tidus nodded he's head and the faith disappeared in front of he's eyes before the vortex sucked him down into it's very depths. Tidus begin to slip into unconsciousness when he finally crash landed to the earth below. The slumber hero lay on the ground on he's side when Bahamut came over to the dream warrior and smiled.

"Sleep well O dream of dreams for tomorrow your story begins."

He then took Tidus's sword the Brotherhood and lay it down next to its owner before finally disappearing into the woods.
