Yuna had come to the Besaid temple more than a hundred times since she became an apprentice summoner. But today was special. She would be entering the Trials. The trials would determine if Yuna was good enough to be a summoner.
'Hey Yuna, are you gonna go in there, or stand hear lookin at it all day?" Yuna turned around quickly to see Wakka, one of her guardians, standing behind her with a smile of sarcasm on his face. " I was only ...um.... Preparing for the trials...by..you know..looking at it..." Yuna managed to mutter the last few words. "Hahahahaha, Yuna stop being so serious and lets get in there! You know how easily Lu can get a temper change ya?" Yuna nodded quickly and headed to the temple, remembering the last time Lulu had become angry with her and threatened to take her rod away. At this thought she tightened her grip.
The Hymn of the Faith echoed in the temple as they walked inside. People were bending down praying at the huge stone statues. They stopped suddenly as Yuna came in. Lulu came walking down the steps as she entered. "Come Yuna it is time" Yuna nodded in reply and obediently followed Lulu up the stairs.
Her thoughts were racing. What if I don't make it out of here alive? What if I don't even make through the first stage? What if...

Tidus had just finished putting the final touches of his Blitzball gear on when he heard the crowd outside his home cheering and rooting for him to come out. " Wow they don't even stop for air!" He happily walked out of his house and into the cheering crowd. " Can you sign my Blitzball?" One of the children was happily holding up his Blitzball for him to sign. " Sure" Tidus replied, righting a big Tidus on the kids Blitzball. "Once he had finished with the kids, it was onto the ladies. "Sign our Blitzball!" They both called out in unison when they saw Tidus walking over to them. "Which seat?" asked Tidus. "Front row, third from the left!" They both replied.
After dealing the mass of crowds, he finally made into the Blitzball stadium. "Freedom" Tidus muttered to himself. When he made to the locker rooms, he sat with his teammates and discussed the game before yelling together, "What's our goal? Victory!"
The game was rough, but the Zanarkand Abes, Tidus's team, were off to a good start.
After knocking an opposition out of the arena bubble, Tidus saw the perfect opportunity to make his famous move. He dived out of the bubble and into the arena. The Blitzball soared through the are and began to fall. Tidus began his backflip, ready to kick the ball into the goal, but as he turned, horror struck him. Something was in the city. Like a huge blob of water. It was shooting out missiles of water all over the city. Sucking up the city.
Forgetting about his Blitzball move he fell down into the arena grabbing hold of the side of one of the seat stands. The whole stadium began to crumble and Tidus lost his grip on the seat stand and fell into the water below.

After completing the trials, Yuna was in the ancient room of Yevon, where she would began her ultimate test. The room was small and dark with shadows looming in the corners. At the front of the room was a small worn staircase that led to an opening with silk sheets around the edges. This would be where she would go in into, and maybe come out of.
" Ok Yuna...go ahead, and remember Yuna, you are strong and you will become a summoner, if you lose confidence, you will fail..." Lulu words stung in Yuna's head for a few seconds before Wakka gave his small speech. " Brake a leg Yuna...ya know...not literally..."
Yuna laughed softly at Wakka gesture and began walking up the stairs. At the entrance of the stairway was Kimahri, her faithful Kimahri. She smiled and him and continued into the chamber, as the stone wall closed behind her.
Darkness. Slowly the light began to seethe into the room making it lighter and Yuna felt less frightened. She gathered her wits and walked deeper into the room. Suddenly light filtered in everywhere completely lighting up the room.
It was a circular room with glass painting on the roof and along the edges of the roof. As she looked at the ground she could see blank patterns inscribed on the floor. In the center of the room was a bright circle that was lit up. Yuna walked over to the circle and sat down. She placed her rod in front of her and began to prey to Yevon.
