Part 5: Aetheon
AN~ Hey everyone...well I just got an email from someone who read this and
asked if it was a TRF or an ARF (Aeris/Tidus resurrection fic) Well....NO,
it's not. I feel that making this story into one of those would be degrading
to the splendiness and realness of the ending. Tidus's death was the best and
only way I would have chose to end FFX, it made the game surpass FF7, which,
until now, I did not think was possible. Nothing has made the impact on my life
the way that FF7 did at one time, and now...FFX...I want to thank Squaresoft
for not giving us what we wanted...a happy ending.

Yuna looked up in surprise.
"Sir Auron's brother?!" she said disbelieving but as she took in the man in front
of her appearance, the more it made sense.
"Heh, heh...yes...'Sir Auron's brother'." He laughed again.
"Oh sir!" Yuna began to say, "your brother was a most trusted and loyal guardian.
His services to me and my father before me-"
"Thanks...yeah....I know..." The man interrupted Yuna. He waved his hand about his
head as if swatting an annoying fly. Yuna gave him an odd look.
"Do you...do you not want to hear-" But she was cut off again.
"No no...it's not that at all, Lady Yuna. I loved my brother very much, it's just...
Well..." He paused and his face became thoughtful. "I suppose the wound is too fresh." He
turned his head away at that last remark, but then faced Yuna again...a smile played across
his mouth once more.
"I understand, Sir...."
"Aetheon."
"I understand, Sir Aetheon." There was a moment's pause as the two took each other in,
recognizing the signifigance of the person standing before them.
"Wha, erm...why are you here Sir Aetheon?" Aetheon chuckled and turned a bit red.
"No need for formalities, Lady Yuna. You can just call me Aetheon." Yuna, surprised,
nodded.
"Then...call me Yuna, if you would Aetheon."
"If you say so, La-...Yuna. Now, as to why I am here. Well, I came here because it was
something Auron asked of me... It seemed, well...it seemed that he knew what fate had in store
for him. After defeating Sin with High Summoner Braska, Auron returned home three times... Three times in 10 years...and on his thrid visit, he told my parents and I that he was going to be your guardian. Then....then he said the most peculiar thing..." Aetheon paused at these words, as if remembering his brother was a bit painful. Yuna could definitely relate to that, Tidus's death haunted her every day. Aetheon then continued.
"'Yuna has a strange and uncertain future ahead of her. I promised Braska to watch over
her, but...I am not sure that I will be able to keep this promise. Please, search her out
after...after all of this is over, and make sure she is not suffering.' And so...I did..."

"He saved us. Almost single handedly. Are we just going to forget about him and let him
waste away?"
"He does not want our help, he wants to waste away...it's his decision I suppose."
"But, people lose husbands and wives and children everyday...they don't break down..."
"When someone finds their soulmate...well...its a very rare thing. When that person then
sees the one the love ripped away...When they see a sword cut the thing that they love more
than life itself, down. Well, that's when they lose it. I'm surprised he's still alive at all."
"But Red---"
"There's nothing we can do, Tifa. Let him have peace. Let him be..."
