Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story.



My comrades and I had just arrived at Djose temple. There was little furry creatures running around, seeing them made me think of the days when I was free. The days when I could run around carelessly. However, that was different now, now I had to give myself so children all around the world could run around freely. At times, I would question myself. Question why I was doing this, why I was willing to give my life for so many people that I didn't even know. Sin was the reason that I had to do this, IT was the reason that life couldn't be normal. IT was also the reason I'd never have a family, never get married, and never really live out my dreams.



"Whoa, does this lightning ever stop?" Tidus's silly question broke me out of my thoughts.

"No, it never stops Tidus." I said cheerfully.

"Oh, why not?" Auron then ct him off, "Must you ask so many question?" He said in his ruff voice. "We do have objectives at the moment, you know."

"Aww… Auron do you always have to be the one to end all of the fun?" Tidus said in that whinny little voice of his.

"I'll stop ending the fun, when you start saying intelligent things." Auron said as he began to make his way to the inn.

"Man, why's he always so mean?" Tidus said as he paced back and fourth.

I smiled and said, "He doesn't mean it, he's just trying to keep things moving." I said as I walked to the inn.



I got the urge to be by myself so I went into my room. When I got in there I took a good look around. The room wasn't glamorous, but it beat living in the hut in Besaid.

I walked over to the bed and lied down on it. For a while, I just stared at the ceiling and thought about things. My thoughts soon trailed to the Legendary Guardian, who had helped my father defeat sin ten years ago. I wondered what it was like to be so close to my father, Sir Auron was his best friend. Surely, if there was anyone to tell me about my father than it was him. I had made my decision; I was going to talk to Sir Auron. He would know more about my father than anyone else.



I walked out of my room, and walked the halls to Auron's room. I knocked on the door gently, not wanting to disturb him too much. I heard footsteps coming closer to the door, and then it flew open revealing a half dressed Auron. His body mesmerized me. I couldn't speak. He cleared his throat loudly.

"Oh, sorry." I blushed and said, Sir Auron, could we have a talk?"

"What about." he asked curiously. "I would like to talk about my father with you." I said cheerfully.

"As you wish, come. We will talk in here." He said gesturing towards his room.

"Alright." I said as I walked in.



His room looked a lot better than mine, I came out and said, "I wonder why I didn't get the better room." I said while I smiled at him politely.

He just looked at me oddly and said, "Well, are you going to talk?" he said impatiently.

"Yes, where can i sit down?"

"Anywhere is fine, why don't you sit in that chair next to the bed." He said as he pointed to the chair.

I walked over to it and sat down.

"Is it really ok with you, if we talk about my father?" he nodded his head.

"I would like to know more about him, what was he like as a person?"

"Braska, was one of the most caring individuals you'd ever meet in your lifetime." He said as he closed his eye.

"Well, what was he like as a friend?"

Auron paused and then replied, "He…was the best friend I ever had." I could see his expression changing to that of sadness and regret.

"Sir Auron, does it hurt you to talk about him." I said in a concerned tone.

Auron looked me in the eye and said, "Why would it hurt me? He was my friend. It makes me happy to talk about him." He said in a stoic tone.

"I know that isn't how you really feel."

"Yuna, you're much too young to handle the truth about what happened!" he said in a serious tone.

"You wouldn't know that unless you tried me!" I said as I began to get upset.

"Crying is never going to help anything, if you want to know the truth then you must prove it over time." He said sincerely.

"What else do I have to prove, I'm willing to die for all the people of spira!" I said as tears began to plague my face.

"You must calm down and be willing to listen if you want to know the truth."

"I do want to know, but you have no idea what I'm going through. I won't be alive after all of this is over." I said in a whisper.

"You couldn't be more wrong Yuna, I had to go through a pilgrimage that would lead my two best friends to their deaths. Did you think that was easy?" he said as sadness washed over him.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed…" he cut her off, "You didn't know how I felt you're not a mind reader. Don't feel bad about it, it won't help anything."

"Sir Auron, I think I'll be going now. We can continue this another day." I said as I struggled to keep from crying anymore.

"Yuna, don't be so hard on yourself. We all have to be strong, not just you." He said as he looked at her strongly.

"I'll keep that in mind, goodnight Sir Auron!" I let myself out and headed to bed.
