Chapter One:
Today was exactly one month since Wakka's mysterious death. A young Al Bhed girl stepped off the airship that had taken her from the newly rebuilt Home to Besaid. She was going to visit Yuna, to see how she was doing.
The village was alive with its usual occupants running around busily. Cheerful kids played on the dirt road with Blitzballs as smiling parents watched.
Rikku walked up the path to Yuna's house and frowned at the sight of dead plants around the hut. Rikku knocked, but there was no reply. She tried again. Nothing.
She turned around and scanned the huts that lined the street. There was a man in a Blitzball uniform that was sweeping the area in front of his house.
Rikku walked over to him and opened her mouth, but he interrupted. "The name's Berrik. I'm retired, so if you're-"
"Do you know where Yuna is?" She asked, silencing the man. He shook his head and returned to sweeping.
Rikku frowned again and walked back up to Yuna's house, hoping the dead plants weren't a sign of how long Yuna had been gone.
She was about to open the wooden door when footsteps behind her made her stop short. Silently hoping it was Yuna she slowly turned around to find a young woman in a pretty blue and yellow dress with a sad smile on her face.
This is not good, Rikku thought.
"If you're looking for Yuna, you won't find her here." The woman said brightly, but the sad smile lingered.
"Do you know where she went?" Rikku asked hopefully.
The woman shook her head. "It was quite sudden. She didn't tell anyone she was going to go somewhere. I'm worried about her. If something happened to her..." She shook her head. "If you need a place to stay, there's a hotel down the road." The stranger offered. "Just tell them Lakkam sent you, and you'll only have to pay half price."
"Thanks." Rikku muttered absently. Lakkam turned and walked away, humming to herself. Rikku sighed and opened Yuna's door.
If she'd been expecting to find the place in ruins, she'd be disappointed. The whole place was neat, and organized. The sort of place that you'd be afraid to touch anything.
But the house showed no life. Yuna was obviously not there. Rikku walked out of the hut in exasperation and uneasiness. There wasn't even a clue to where she went.

A figure dressed in dreary gray bent over the trembling form of a young woman. She was caught in a nightmare, one that seemed so real.
"Sleep." The figure hissed.
The young woman with short brown hair stopped trembling and eased into a deep, dreamless sleep.
The dark clothed person smiled grimly and began to pace the one roomed hut, muttering under its breath. "Not safe here. No, not safe." It stopped, looked over its shoulder like it expected to find something, and then flung its arms heavenward.
There was a crackle as lightning unleashed, striking the walls and seeping into the wood. The whole room became alive in wild light.
"No one can enter." The figure muttered, a feral smile portraying its lips.
Suddenly it crumpled to the floor. A vision had claimed its mind, tearing it from reality.

On the outskirts of Macalania, under the shadows of a small hill, was Lulu's house.
From the surface of the airship, the house looked cozy and peaceful, but Rikku suspected the inside was far from it.
Lulu had become distant after Wakka's death. She moved across ocean and land to get away from the memories Besaid held. Memories of Wakka.
Rikku frowned and hopped off the airship. Hastily, she walked up the small dirt path that lead up to Lulu's house. Putting on a cheerful smile that she didn't really feel, Rikku knocked on the door.
A crash was heard, and the door flung open. Lulu blinked a few times at the girl, as if she didn't realize who she was. Then suddenly she waved her into the house.
Rikku stepped inside rather hesitantly while Lulu muttered a hello, and closed the door.
The house was poorly lit with only a few pieces of furniture. There were no vases, or pictures, or any decorations of any kind. Though Rikku did note that Lulu had her old Attack Mog sitting in a chair.
What brings you here?" Lulu asked as she lead Rikku into some sort of living room that held three chairs, a small table, and a violet rug.
"Yunie." Rikku replied, deciding to simply get to the point. "She's disappeared.
Lulu lifted one hand to her forehead and shook her head in disbelief and sadness.
"When was the last time you heard from her?" Rikku inquired.
Lulu glanced at the table, not willing to meet Rikku's eyes. "Since the burial." There was a few minutes of silence before Lulu spoke again. "I'll keep an eye out for her and listen to the rumors. But she'll be extremely hard to find considering Spira's so big and..." Lulu stopped and shivered.
Rikku nodded. "I'm going to find Kimahri. Maybe..." She paused. "Maybe he'll know where Yunie is."

As Rikku began to walk to the travel agency that was placed in the snow right before Macalania, a figure in gray slid into the airship.
It said no words, just simply raising a hand. The controls sizzled as lightning flickered over them, and water poured into every corner.
And just as Rikku returned, the figure stepped out of the airship and ran off into the ominous night.
