The unseen realm was dank and dearly, as it always was. Various Yeuls were doing various things. The one Caius was currently on his way to see flower Yeul aka Rose. It had been three years since the new world began. Well he was pretty sure, he always did have a strange relationship with time. He had approached the top of a hill and was able to see her. She was talking to a recently deceased man.

"So, then I told him that they're called hydrangeas for a reason" He laughed and in that second Rose joined in. Caius Smiled. It was nice to see that even though they would be spending all of time taking care of the dead that there was still some joy.

"That's so funny!" Rose almost fell to her knees. She caught herself and saw him. "Caius! What brings you here?"

"Just making the rounds," He gestured to the man, "Who is this?"

"I'm Mark," The man Put out his hand. "Nice to"

"He's a florist!" Rose basically yelled, almost jumping up and down. "They say that the new world has all kind of flowers! Some that didn't even exist on Pulse!"

"Oh right!" Mark put this hand into one of his pockets and rooted around for a bit, only to pull out a seed. "I was wounding if this made the trip" He offered the seed to Rose, who was staring at it wide eyed.

"Is that a plant seed?" She moved to take it, only for Mark to side it into her hand. "Ahhhhhh"

"Rose," Caius paused not sure how to explain, truth be told he wasn't even sure if the seed would be capable of growing here. But Chaos did what it wanted so it was worth a shot wasn't it?

Caius was taken out of his thoughts by a rumbling coming from where the old god was. He didn't even think about saying anything before he jumped up and few towards the dead old god, hoping Rose would understand.


Yeul never really got gatherings like this on the old world. Most of the time it was just the three of them, and even then, Caius was being stone faced and serious. But this, this was nice. She felt a nudge at her arm. She had zoned out again.

"You okay?" Noel asked form the seat next to hers.

"Yeah, what did they say this is called?" Yeul poked the red thing that was sitting on her plate. Apparently, it was quite expensive so instead of getting a whole one they had it cut into smaller pieces.

"That's a lobster," Vanille said from her seat across the table. "It's considered a delicacy in places,"

"What kind of places?"

"Mostly inland, it is a sea creature." Fang butted in, "But it sure is delicious and I would know, I'm a conquer of all things meat!"

"Oh really," Noel had spoken up "I'll have you know that for seventeen years all I ate was meat!"

"Boy, you only had three different kinds of meat, and it was all monster meat!" Fang continued "There's a lot more then that!"

Yuel turned her attention to some of the other conversions going on at the table. She was pretty sure that Noel and Fang had this same conversation at the last get together. Hope was talking to Snow about some research that the lab that he was working at was doing. No point in trying to join that one, Hope's tech mumble jumbo flew right over her head. By the look on Snows face it went right over his too.

Sazh was talking to Diane, His long-lost wife. Judging by how close they were and the fact that Sazh's hand was on hers they were having a personal and romantic talk. She definitely did not want to interrupt that. The two had a lot to catch up on. Dajh was not taking park in the talking but seemed to be happy eating potatoes, she wondered how many severing he had had of the stuff.

Serah was talking to Lightning and Chocolina. She looked at them, wondering what kind of conversation they were having. It was a bit odd. Her and Chocolina had to be the ones that "Knew" The game the least. Chocolina was able to make conversion and friends really easily, one of the believed reasons that she had managed to become one of the best entrepreneurs in the world. She also got to go and travel during the five hundred years. Yuel was not really happy in that temple.

She was brought out of her thoughts by the ringing of a phone. She had been losing herself in thoughts a lot recently. It was Diane's cell phone. She excused herself from the table and went into the living room.

"And that's why cooked corgel is the best kind of meat." Fang finished.

"Agree to disagree," Noel huffed. Diane came back into the room

"Work calls," She said looking sad, "It was great to see you all again."

"It was great see you too!" Serah said as she got up and hugged her. "see you next time!" Sazh got up and kissed her and walked her to the door. He returned and sat down next to his son. And Dinner continued.


Yuel woke up in darkness. Well wake up was a relative term. She could slightly see now and made out grey sand and the should of crashing waves. She was in the unseen realm. This was unusual. Sure, sometimes a different Yeul would come and visit her but she had never gone to the realm. Wait, did this mean that she was dead? She started shaking. The last thing she remembered was lying in a bed in the Villiers home. Had the curse not really been lifted?

"Ugh, stop being so over dramatic." Oh no she knew this it Yuel, it was salt. "You're fine. Caius just really needed to talk to you." Salt was laying on one of the rocks looking up at the endless chaos above them.

"Come with me," She rolled off the rock and felt right on her face on the ground. Yuel went to help her up only to get swatted away. "I'm fine, you're fine, we're all fine." She got up and walked towards a hill Yuel followed.

Caius was standing over the crystalized remains of Bhunivelze. From what he could tell it wasn't him that had done this. He heard the footsteps approached and turned to face Yeul and Salt.

"Yuel I'm sorry about this, it looks like some of the Chaos has escaped this realm." Yeul opened her mouth about to respond, "It will come back but I'm afraid It's heading right for your Frie-"

Yuel was jolted awake from her bed, by the sound of a thump on the ground She got up and hurried over to the other bed were Vanille was sleeping, well where she was sleeping. But Vanille wasn't there, not the Vanille she knew it was a small child, who appeared to be about five years old.
