III: Alone in the Dark
'Almost there.' Tidus thought as his weak arms struggled to keep treading the water. He was now close enough to faintly hear the waves lapping against the shore, but even the thought of standing on dry land couldn't keep his tired eyes from trying to close. 'Just think of Yuna.' He told himself.
His pace became very slow; the farplane had severely hindered his strength. The comforting lights of Luca lit the sky for miles, but still the moonlit waves were dark and cold. There were no houses or people on the shore. It didn't look like there was anything nearby.
'Maybe I'll just rest for a little while.' Tidus stopped to relax his sore muscles. He stretched and let his tired body sink back into the waves. With his face to the sky, he floated in the cold water. His eyes were heavy and as they fell, he thought of Yuna. 'I'll be with you soon, Yuna. I'll hold you in my arms and never let you go.'
Far away in the quiet village of Besaid, Yuna crawled into her warm bed. 'I'll never forget you.' With one breath, she blew out the flickering candle beside her bed. The pale white light of the moon spilled through her window and onto her face; the same moonlight that shone on Tidus. She thought of him as the angel of sleep closed her eyes. As she dreamed, tucked away in her warm bed, Tidus fell asleep too. His body washed up on the cold dark sand somewhere near Luca. He lay alone in the middle of a deserted beach with the waves washing up over his ankles and then retreating back into the ocean. He dreamed of Yuna, and her memory kept him warm.
