Author's notes: Well… Sorry for the little delay of chapter 5… AND for the Cliffhanger too… I think this chapter will be quite boring (I'll try to make this one short) so please bear with it. Tnx in advance!
Love Has No Boundaries
(From Chapter 4)
Yuna went in bravely into the temple waving to her friends. The man told the others to go back to the shore to wait for Yuna's comeback. However, the temple suddenly sank back into the ocean with Yuna.
"YUNA!" everyone shouted.
Chapter 5: The Temple's Trials
The sun rose to the dark sky signaling that it was morning. They ran towards the shore trying to reach the sinking temple, but it was too late for them. Shocked, they stared into the ocean for a few minutes.
"Yunie…" Rikku cried.
They gave a mean look at the man that led Yuna to the temple without them. Wakka tried to punch the man, but Lulu stopped him from doing it.
"Mellow down Wakka… Let's hear him first…" Lulu said.
"After what he did to Yuna?! He'll be receiving a punch from me, ya!" Wakka shouted.
"… I cannot blame you if you have anger deep inside, but do not worry… Yuna is not yet dead… The temple is protected with a form of barrier, which will not allow water to come in… However… If Yuna ever fails to get the Aeon, that is the time to pay the price, her life…" The man explained.
"How do we know if Yunie's okay?" Rikku asked curiously.
"Good question… Follow me…"
They followed the man back inside the dark forest, and led them to the Yevon symbol. It glowed brightly bringing light to the surroundings.
"Here… Once the symbol stopped glowing… It means that your summoner is dead…" He said.
"What!? All we can do is wait, ya?" Wakka shouted.
"Precisely."
"I guess we cannot do anything from here, but to wait for Yuna…" Lulu sighed.
They all sat on the grassy ground of the forest, and waited…
Deep below the ocean, the temple resides and with it, the summoner. Yuna cautiously entered the ruined temple. There she saw broken statues, pillars that fell down, and bits of tiny rocks. She touched what looked like arrows pointing from the four directions, North, South, East and West from the opposite end of the entrance. It was the glyph symbol and it glowed in green when Yuna touched it. It vanished and a new door opened, which led deeper inside the temple. A long staircase was found inside the door. Yuna went down what seemed endless stairs. By the time she got down, her feet were tired, but that did not prevented her to go on. She held her rod tightly to support her body and moved on. She walked in the halls of the ancient temple, and she saw pyreflies flying around.
"Pyreflies? Then there might be fiends in this place… I have to be careful…"
She heard footsteps that were coming nearer to her. She held her rod with both hands and prepared for what might happen. Two human zombies appeared in front of her… She went backwards hoping she would not get touch by anyone of them for one touch of the "zombied" humans would lead her to becoming one of them. She cast a Curaga spell on both of them since it was their weakness. Fortunately, they vanished and became pyreflies.
"It's a good thing that I still have my white magic with me, but I don't know if my magic could hold them much longer…"
She ran as fast as she could, ignoring anything that she passes. Suddenly, she heard many footsteps that was coming at the back, running. It sounded as if they were in thousands. She continued to run hoping that they would not catch her. She went to a stop and saw a dead end.
"A dead end?!"
The footsteps were getting louder and louder by the minute. They all appeared in front of her… Not knowing what to do, Yuna cast the strongest white magic spell, Holy, to them. White circles formed which surrounded the zombies. It went up high and white beams went swiftly hitting them hard. Some of them died, but they were still big in numbers. Yuna, beginning to be hopeless, fell down to the ground as if she was surrendering to the zombies. One of them was about to touch her when a huge quake occurred. They all fell into the ground and suddenly the floor cracked from where Yuna was sitting. She fell down in the huge crack that the quake made, and the upper floor started to collide.
"Aaaaahhhh!
She fell down fast and got caught in a pool of water. A large splash covered the whole place, and Yuna with her eyes closed sank quietly into the dark water. She opened her eyes, surprised that she survived the fall, and swam back to the temple's ground. She climbed up and dried herself for a bit and continued to walk.
"At least they're gone…"
Not a single breeze of the wind entered the place, but it was cold as winter. Yuna, rubbing her two hands together, was shivering in coldness. She sneezed once in a while, which made a loud echo in the deserted temple. She saw many sculptures of what seemed to look like the Aeon. These sculptures looked like cute little creatures. They have eyes that just looked like a simple diagonal curved line. They have a small looking antenna on top of its head. They also have wings, and their body looked furry. In her mind, she thought that she saw this creature before, but she could not remember. With all these sculptures, she knew she must be near the chamber of the fayth. Without thinking about it anymore, she hurriedly went towards the end of the cold place and reached the door to the chamber of the fayth.
"This is it…"
She slid open the door and entered. She saw the circular surface where the image of the Aeon was found and she was right, the Aeon was furry and its fur was colored in white with purple wings, which was found at its back. It also has a round purple nose, and looked to have pointy ears. She knelt down and performed the prayer. She raised both her hands and made a sphere shape as it went down, then bowed. The fayth appeared in front of her. The fayth was a lady who wears a simple white long dress. She has long curled brownish hair that reached the floor of the temple. Her eyes were like Yuna's, one was blue and the other was green. Yuna stared at the fayth's eyes took, a deep breath and stood up. Yuna was about to face the final trial of the temple, which could lead to her death.
