Tidus stared at Yuna in utter shock.
"You serious?" he asked.
"You know what Yuna must do." Auron said coldly.
"Of course." Seymour said, sounding a bit sarcastic. "Lady Yuna-no, all summoners-are
charged with bringing peace to Spira. But this means more than just defeating Sin. She must ease the
suffering of all Spira. She must be a leader for the people. I proposed to Lady Yuna as a maester of
Yevon."
"Spira is no playhouse." Auron stated. "A moments diversion might amuse an audience, but it
changes nothing."
"Even so, the actors must play their parts." Seymour smirked. He then turns to Yuna. "There's
no need to answer right away. Please, think it over."
"We will, then. We leave." Auron said, nodding.
We walked out of the manor and into the center of Guadosalam.
"Yuna, the high summoners daughter. Seymour, the leader of the Guado, married in the name of
Yevon, overcoming the barriers of race. It would give Spira something cheery to talk about, for a
change." Lulu said.
"Sounds just like a passin' daydream, like Auron says." said Wakka.
"Come on, let's just get on with the pilgrimage. I mean, marriage?" Tidus said.
"Hmm. Jealous?" I asked, giggling.
"What?" Tidus cried. "No way! We gotta defeat Sin. Romance can wait!"
"He sure picked a fine time to lay this one on us." sighed Wakka.
"Maybe..it is a fine time." Yuna wondered. "You see, if my getting married would help Spira.. if
it would make people happy..if I could do that for people, maybe I should do what I can. I never
imagined doing anything like this. But I won't answer until I know what's right."
"You could always just quit your pilgrimiage and get married." I suggested.
"I will..go on. I'm sure Lord Seymour would understand."
"Um, I guess so." I shrugged.
"I am a summoner! I must fight and defeat Sin!" she cried.
"Like Braska before you." Auron nodded.
"I'm going to the Farplane. I will see my father, and think on this."
I had never been to the Farplane before. I had only heard about it. From the stories I've heard, it
was a place where souls of the dead were sent, by summoners. So if someone walked onto it and thought
of someone dead, an illusion of them showed up. You wouldn't actually see the dead, only your
memories. However, I preferred to keep my memories inside. The seven of us proceeded toward the
Farplane. It was near the border of Guadosalam. We all quietly ventured down a long corridor, until we
reached a flight of stairs. Tidus, Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, and Kimarhi walked forward, but Auron just sat on
the steps.
"Aren't you coming?" Tidus asked.
"I do not belong there." Auron said in a shaky voice.
"You're scared!" Tidus teased.
"Searching the past to find the future..This is all that is there. I don't need it. You better go."
"You're not going to see the dead!" I said, approaching them. "More like your memories of
them. People think of their relatives, and the pyreflies react to them. They take on the form of a dead
person--an illusion, nothing else. Well..have fun!"
"You're not going either, Rikku?" Tidus asked.
"I keep my memories inside..memories are nice, but that's all they are." I sat down, and waited
for everyone to come back. They spent a while in there, but I patiently waited.
"Thanks for waiting!" Yuna said when they came out. "I'll go give my answer to Maester
Seymour. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. A spirit was walking toward us, coming out of the Farplane!
"Lord Jyscal!" cried out two Guado simultaneously. Slowly, the figure of the dead maester
toward us.
"He does not belong here." Auron said worriedly.
"Why?" Yuna asked.
"Send him." Auron commanded. He dropped down on one knee, and groaned.
"Lord Jyscal.." Yuna began.
"He is Lord Jyscal no more. Send him now!" Lulu commanded. Yuna took a deep breath, and
performed the sending dance. Lord Jyscal faded away, to rest on the Farplane forever. Auron got up.
"Talk later. We leave now." he said.
