Hope is Comforting

A/N: Okay, I want feedback now. ;_; I know, I'm needy. Anyhoo, spoilers for the end of the game as we continue post-game. Oh, and I gave Yuna a last name. It's "Azuremoon". Some of the other characters will have last names too, because they're kinda not real people without surnames.
Chapter Six: The Moon
Who knows how many ages had passed in that cold prison? I do not know how long I hovered in the darkness, until I eventually saw a pinprick of light. It nearly blinded me, after my eyes had become used to the darkness. I concentrated towards the light, poured my soul into its glint, and I felt myself begin to move.
The light widened into a hole in the dark, and then widened into a hole large enough to move through. I flew through into the brilliance of the light, landing on the warm ground. I lifted my head skyward, my eyes adjusting to the sun. I lay on a beach, nude and vulnerable. As I stopped to ponder my current situation, I saw a woman walking on the hill above me. I called out to her, and she turned.
"You poor girl. Come with me. I'll fetch you some clothes. I am Vilucha."
I followed Vilucha to her hut, as she threw a towel around me to cover my nakedness. When we entered Besaid Village, I was startled at the changes. The Crusader's Lodge was now an orphanage, and the immortal Yu Yevon's temple had been torn down, replaced by a town hall.
"What has happened to this place?" I asked Vilucha.
"Do you not know? Sin is gone forever! We have no need for Yevon or the Crusaders," she replied.
I was aghast at this statement. And then I realized that I was truly able to FEEL aghast. I was most certainly alive.
"What do you do?" I asked.
"I am the star blitzball player of the Besaid Aurochs!" she smiled, proudly. "Our best player was a man named Tidus, from the dreams of the Fayth. He was Maestrix Yuna's lover. When Yuna destroyed Sin and Yevon, he faded away when she sent the Fayth to the Farplane."
I wondered if the defeat of the immortal Yu Yevon could be that catalyst for my release from death. After she dressed me in some of her spare clothing, Vilucha continued talking: "Maestrix Yuna lives here right now while they make some improvements to Bevelle. Since she arrived, people have started to appear on these beaches, much like yourself. I will bring you to her."
I balked. Surely my killer would recognize me! I resisted, but then figured that if anyone knew what was going on, it would be my namesake, Yunalesca Azuremoon, newly crowned Maestrix of Bevelle.
We arrived at the site of Besaid Temple, and entered the new building there. I stood in the entryway, and Vilucha and I waited for the attendants to call on Yuna. The head of the attendants, Lulu Ravenlace, cleared her throat loudly and adressed the hall. "Courtiers and Courtesans, the Maestrix of Bevelle, Lady Yunalesca Azuremoon!"
Yuna strolled hurriedly down the stairs, her young age offsetting her regal appearance, dressed in blue robes with sapphire jewelry. Her right eye was as blue as the sky, and her left eye was as green as the sea.
When she saw me, she gasped. "Lady Yunalesca! So, another soul departs from the Farplane." I appeared confused at this, so she continued, dismissing Vilucha, who left the building. "Come with me, Lady Yunalesca. I have three people I think you'd like to see." She smiled at me, her eyes forgiving. I welcomed them.
We left the main hall and entered a large chamber. There, dressed in Besaid peasant's clothes, were the three people I longed to see the most. My guardian Riva, my student Belgemine...
And my love, Zaon.
