Scene Two: Yuna visits her Mother
[We are in Macalania woods, in front of a particularly large and shimmering tree. Yuna is weeping at her mother's grave just at the tree's base.]
Maechen: Now, Yuna had planted a branch at the grave of her Mother,
And her tears watered it until it had become a handsome tree.
Yuna: I've been good and I've been kind, Mother,
Doing only what I learned from you.
Why, then, am I left behind, Mother,
Is there something more that I should do?
What is wrong with me Mother?
Something must be wrong!
I wish…
[Belgimine, Yuna's mother and an unsent summoner, appears in the tree.]
Belgimine: Do you know what you wish?
[Yuna, startled, jumps up and stares at the tree.]
Are you certain what you wish is what you want?
If you know what you want, then make a wish.
Ask the tree,
And you shall have your wish.
Yuna: [After a moment…]
Shimmer and glimmer, little tree.
Jewels and gil throw down on me.
[Several butterflies float out of the tree, carrying a beautiful gown, which Yuna grabs]
I'm off to get my wish!
[She runs off towards Bevelle]
A/N: The first chapter was incredibly long and scary. So congratulations on making it to chapter two! The next installment isn't long, but is a little scary. You've been warned...
