Danaya's POV:

I opened my eyes and found myself in a pitch black room. "What's going on?" I called out, my voice echoing everywhere. I tried to look for Sargent, Vidina, Iyana, and Xanxus, but none of them were there. "You guys?" I called out. I sighed and started to walk around in the darkness. I looked down at my hands and realized my sword was nowhere to be seen. *What the heck is going on?* All of a sudden, some yellow light started to shine and I began to smile, but dropped it once I saw the purple mist again. *No…* I started to back away as the purple mist came closer.

"Stay back!" I shouted, trying to reach for something my pouch; however, I could feel nothing in my pouch as if somebody had emptied it. "Ah!" I shrieked as I tripped over something and fell down on the floor.

I got up, but the purple mist appeared right in front of me. "Get away!" I tripped again and fell on my face. I started to scramble up and get away, but the purple mist started to come closer again. All of a sudden, a white light started to shine.

Everything was white. All around me, there was just white. It felt pure. Soothing. It felt like home.

"I'm glad." a voice said behind me. "It should feel like home to you." I turned around slowly, and there she was: Analise. I stared in disbelief as she smiled and walked toward me. She looked exactly as she always had, but her hair wasn't dyed. It was a dark mahogany. *Is that her natural hair color?* She stopped in front of me, still smiling, and held her arms out to me. My vision blurred as I rushed into her embrace. A sob broke from my throat, soon followed by many more, and all the tears I had been holding onto exploded out all at once. Analise just held me close, stroking my hair as I cried, like she had done countless times before.

I suddenly start to think about the others. How would they have reacted if they saw Analise just out of the blue? I hugged Analise tightly as I tried to stop my tears, knowing that Analise didn't like to see me cry. "You're okay." Analise simply said as she continued to stroke my hair. I started to slowly stop, my hiccups started to form.

"No. I'm not okay. How can I be okay anymore?" I questioned through my tears. I shook my head, my hair sticking to my face. "I can't be okay. Nobody is okay anymore." Suddenly, the visions started flooding in one by one. I relived every single one of them as I did before. "I can't handle it. I can't do this…" I whispered in despair. Analise shushed me and shook her head, disagreeing with me.

Once I stopped crying, I simply collapsed to the ground. Analise sat next to me, one hand still on my shoulder. I leaned into her, and she wrapped her arms around me and held me. Analise really was a mother figure to me. "What about the others?" I started to panic. "Where in Spira am I? Were the others killed? But...that Dark Genie…and all the visions." I started to ramble on. Analise started to look at me with slight worry. "What…no. I'm going crazy. Everything's just in my head because of all the visions and stress. It's just my imagination." I blurted out, Analise trying to snap me out of it.

"You're not going crazy, Danaya." Analise stated. I shook my head and started to back away, crawling backwards.

"No." I denied. "You're just a figment of my imagination! Malfonse created you to screw up with my mind! You're not…" I looked down and sighed. "You're not real. I want you to be, but you're not."

After I calmed down, I turned and looked at her. She was still there, holding me and smiling. "You're real." I whispered, holding her tight. "You're here." She giggled lightly, stroking my hair.

"Of course I'm here. I never left." I looked at her in confusion, my eyebrows scrunching up. *What the heck is she talking about? I thought…*

"But…but Anastasia shot you. You disappeared!" I started tearing up again, that scene playing over in my mind as if it just happened a few minutes ago.

"Yes, I did disappear. But that doesn't mean I left you." Analise explained.

"But how?"

She smiled at me before pulling me to my feet. "Do you know where we are?" I looked around. Everything was still white. Seeing my confusion, Analise asked, "Tell me, how do you feel?" I looked at her in disbelief. *Out of all questions, you ask how I'm feeling?* I turned my back to her and looked around again, seeing everything white. There was no darkness anymore. I stared down as I thought of how I felt.

I started to answer, "I feel…I feel safe. It's comforting. I feel…"

"Home." Analise said with a smile. I nodded wordlessly. "Well, you feel this way because we are inside you." My eyes widened and I started to look around again. *What? Analise is crazy…* I started to run forward, not caring if Analise followed me or not. I tried to run to somewhere, but I got to nowhere. Everything was white. I hurriedly turned back around to find Analise standing there. I tried to punch the whiteness, but got nothing as a result.

"What do you mean, inside me? Like inside my head, inside my soul? Inside my BODY?!" She laughed at my outburst. I realized it was a sound I hadn't heard in a very long time; this was the first time in years she had fully let go and laughed. It was a beautiful sound. However, the pain my head still wouldn't go away. It's as if the pain was trying to block Analise's laugh away.

"I don't fully understand it myself." she finally said. "All Bahamut told me about this place was that it's inside you." Again, I stared at Analise in surprise. I thought back to Mom's stories about Bahamut. The aeon originated from Bevelle and he was a very monstrous aeon. It was also the first aeon she had to fight against with Auntie Rikku and Paine.

"Bahamut? As in, THE Bahamut? The all-powerful Aeon that helped Mom? I thought they had all gone…" I replied. "Ever since Mom had to defeat Yu Yevon, all the aeons except for Bahamut surely were gone, right?" I looked down, trying to absorb all this extra information.

Analise answered, "No, they are all still here. Their power is greatly diminished, but they still watch over us." I looked at her in confusion.

"But how could that happen? How would you know?" I questioned, getting suspicious of Analise now. I started to remember the stories Mom and Dad would tell me about the aeons, how Mom would be able to talk to the aeons inside her head. I slowly took one step back, but then Analise took a step forward.

After a while, she answered, "Bahamut told me of what happened." I started to gain confusion once again. *How could she hear Bahamut, but the rest of us couldn't?*

"But why would Bahamut be talking to you?" I countered, a bit of edge in my voice now.

At this point, she started looking uncomfortable. I then proceeded to walk closer to her, urging her to answer me. "Well…" she hesitated before blurting out, "SomehowI'vebecomeanAeon." I blinked in surprise, not full comprehending. Analise took a deep breath, before saying slowly "Somehow I've become an Aeon, and I've been bonded to you."

"Explain." I asked, sitting down on the ground. Analise sat across from me and took a deep breath.

"After I got shot, I was transported into what looked like the Farplane. I was standing in a field of flowers and pyreflies floated around everywhere. I started to explore the field of flowers and came across who I thought was the fayth of Bahamut. The little boy then asked me if I wanted to become an aeon for you. He gave me two choices: become an aeon or forever live in the farplane. Of course, I chose to become an aeon. I did have a disadvantage though. I was told that I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone but you. I could only speak to you." Analise explained, her eyes downcast. I stared at her with sympathy, knowing the relationship she had with Xanxus.

I stayed quiet, trying to accept the fact that Analise was now my aeon. I was a summoner.

We were silent for a long time, before I asked "so that was you who saved us? That glowing Aeon who kicked Dark Genie's ass?"

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that was me. Analise, Goddess of the Moon!" She struck a regal pose, making me laugh.

"Goddess of the Moon?" I finally got out, clutching my stomach from the laughter that had escaped.

"It was something Vidina and some of the other kids used to tease me with, since my skin is so pale. Smack him for me when you wake up." I nodded as my laughter subsided. Analise stood up and started to stretch. I stared up at her, deep in thought. "And my dream? Was that you too?"

She nodded again, but she lost her smile, becoming serious. "Those dreams…I don't know if I'll be able to save you like that again. I caught him by surprise this time. You will keep having these dreams, but I will be there with you. You won't have to face them alone." She wrapped her arms around me and held me tight.

"I won't be alone…" I whispered. "I have you and the others. Everyone will be there with me. I understand now." I hugged Analise back and shut my eyes tightly. "We're going to defeat Malfonse, right?" I questioned Analise. She simply nodded as her answer.

Analise glanced off to the side, listening to something. "It's time for you to wake up. It's been almost a full day, and everyone is worried about you."

I started tearing up again. "I don't want to go. I don't want you to go again."

She smiled sadly before holding me close. "I'm not going anywhere. I will always be with you. Just think of me, and you will feel me there." She let go of me, smiling as she wiped away my tears. "Now, time for you to go." I nodded, knowing that the others are worried about me. I started to think of the others and smiled.

I looked around for a way out, but again all I saw was white light. "How?" I asked. She smiled before gesturing forward, creating what looked like a rip in the whiteness. "Really? I have to go through that?" She smirked as she lightly pushed me through the rip, into darkness. "Now what?"

"Close your eyes." she said, before closing the rip. I was now surrounded by dark instead of white. Trusting Analise, I closed my eyes…
