The End
Chapter Five:

Landing lightly on her feet, Yuna looked around the glen. She found the feel of the flowers under her feet a relief and comfort after the solid stone platforms and walkways they had just been on.

Yuna studied her surreal surroundings. The platforms around the central one where she was now standing seemed to be waterfalls of some sort, she saw crystal clear water pouring over the edges into the unknown below.

She turned around to look at the portal as her two companions, Paine and Rikku emerged from it. They too took a moment to study their surroundings.

"Lets go." Yuna said, in a quiet voice, after a few moments of silence.

Paine and Rikku followed her as she made her way towards the stone walkways, a short distance off, which would take them to the Bevelle underground.

"Thanks."

Yuna and her companions were started to hear a child like voice say from somewhere close by. Looking around, they saw a short figure materialize a short distance off.

He wore blue short-legged pants with a fire design on them. His tunic was the same colour blue and had a hood that was currently pulled up to cover his face. The skin that was visible was a dark colour.

Yuna instantly recognised him as one of the Fayth who used to grant her the ability to summon an Aeon.

She thought for a moment as she studied him. "It was you wasn't it?" She asked after a few moments, her voice quivering slightly.

The Fayth nodded. "I am sorry for any pain my actions caused but it was clear that you needed help in the final confrontation with Shuyin. I could not think of anyone else to send."

"So he is really gone?" Yuna asked. "You want to see him again?" The Fayth responded. Answering Yuna's question with one of his own. "You want to walk together again?"

"Yes." Yuna responded, nodding her head a little as tears began to pour out of her eyes.

"I can't promise anything." The Fayth said as he began to disappear, "but I will do what I can."

Yuna turned to look at her companions, who both wore expressions of surprise.

"We should get going, the others will be waiting for us." Paine said, as she turned and continued towards the stone platforms.

"Others?" Yuna asked.

"Nooj, Gippal, Baralai, Leblance and her two cronies are waiting for us on board on the Celcius." Paine responded.

Yuna nodded to show her understanding and began to follow Paine and Rikku as they made their way to the Celcius. However, the words of the Fyath were still firmly in her mind.

"Is there really a chance that he can bring him back, for good this time?" She asked herself as the trio made their way along the road to the Fareplane. The bevelle underground their destination.
