Sorry I am not posting as often, Trying to gather together some new ideas to make this sotry a little more interesting. It all ties in to X-2, so expect another story in the future...
Any ideas? leave a comment. thanks.

When we reached Bevelle, Auron and I stayed back in Macalania forest. Braska, along with Jecht, went in to see his daughter Yuna. I guess Auron just didnt want to have to deal with the people in Bevelle, I couldn't blame him.
It was Jecht that had been the one to notice that I had fallen, and was the one to carry me though the thunder plains. I guess I was out cold for more than an hour. My dreams were confusing, swirls of pyreflies, faces of people that I may have knew in a past life. Was I the girl in my dreams? Impossible. I would remember that, wouldn't I?
Auron watched me like a protective father would, yet not making any effort to ask me what was wrong. I think thats when I knew that I liked him a lot more than before, and it made me sad to know that he was so distant, towards me and his friends. Maybe it would have been the best thing for him to marry and live here in Bevelle. It was obvious that he missed this place.
"I had a vision, I think.." I began. "Its silly, but...I was told that I was being kept from the farplane..."
Auron's face crumpled up, I never seen such emotion on those cold eyes before, this was the first time he showed feeling come to think of it. He made a fist with his hand, and looked away for some moments. "The night you arrived in Bevelle, you.."
"I?"
"You died in my arms Tanith..." He shruged, trying to regain his calm demeanor.
"impossible!" I cried, but in a way I knew it to be true. was that why Auron could never really warm up to me for more than a little while? Was it because he would always go back to that moment, here in Bevelle?
I watched him get up and cross the space between us, to sit next to me. I dont think I was crying, but he put his arm around me and said it was going to be ok. It didnt feel like things were going to be ok ever again, but I let him try to comfort me, let him be my friend.
"But why am I here?" I asked him, resting my head on his shoulder. It felt like something I had done before, but I could't recall being this close with him. Perhaps at Mi'ihen, but it wasnt the same....
"unfufilled promise?" He suggested..."Was there something you had to do?"
""Promises?" I repeated, trying to think, but nothing was coming to me. I'm, I was just a simple girl from Luca, I had nothing exciting to look forward to, I was alone...my parents had died. But the word, promise..."Do you know about the machina below Bevelle?"
"what?" He jerked his head back in surprise. Obviously he didnt know.
"Just a dream..." I glanced up at the sky, what was the connection? What did my dream, and me being desceased have to do with each other, why wasnt I with mom and dad now? "Dont tell the others...that..I'm..."
"Dont worry..." Auron nodded, giving me his solemn oath. I knew he would take it to the grave, that was one thing I could always be sure of. Auron kept his promises, and so did.... I blinked, at my thoughts. Someone else promised me something, but it was a long time ago. I must have looked confused, as Auron pulled me closer to him, giving me a little shake.
"sorry, thinking..." I sighed.
Staring off at the highbridge I watched a little girl come running. She was beautiful, and had the most cheeriest of smiles. One eye was Blue and the other Green. I assumed it was from the Al Bhed lineage. Jecht chased after her, lifted her up in his arms and placed her on his shoulders. For someone so gruff, and tough, he sure did know how to play with kids. Did he play this way with the son he had back in Zanarkand?
"You like Blitz ball little Yuna?" He asked her. "Back where I come from, there is a stadium where we blitz twentyfour seven!"
"really? I wanna see!" She giggled. I smiled at her, knowing that it would be impossible.
"Maybe one day you can..I have a wife, and a...son.." I noticed his voice droped when he said the word son. I couldn't figure out why, it almost sounded like he was in pain. Of couse, losing my parents was hard enough...losing his family must have been much worse. For him, they were still alive, but seperated by Sin.
I felt that I could understand. I was seperated from the place where I belonged right now too.It was a little diffrent, but a little bit of the same...
Braska leaned in close to us. "Auron, when this is over, when I defeat sin...Please bring Yuna to the Isle of Besaid...I.. I want her to have a simple life. Bevelle has become..." He paused, searching for the words, then shook his head. "Bevelle is not the same as it used to be. I dont want her to grow up in such an environment..."
We both had to nod. Auron knew this more than the three of us, and gave his promise to Braska that day, that whatever happens, Yuna would be safe in Besaid.

Just before we left Luca a week ago, Jecht had purchased himself a sphere recorder. While we travelled, he recorded. Said it was for his Son back home. That maybe one day his little one would be able to see these spheres. It seemed a little far fetched and almost impossible to me, but then I had to remember that I was dead. It was supposed to be impossible that I walk among the living, but the more I was in knowledge of this...the more I realised that there were a lot of cases of those who just didn't know they were gone...I saw it with my own eyes infact. Especially in the calm lands....
Jecht would often record me, then wonder why I didnt show up in the playback. I would laugh and tell him that it was the sun in the way, or the atmosphere. Jecht wasn't a dumb man, but he just didn't seem to figure out something was wrong with me. Or maybe he did, and just didnt want to admit it. Braska had a lot on his mind,I think he would have noticed if he was free of his worry.
The Calm lands was full of people who were deseaced and didnt know it. Some of them were in plain sight, others I could only see. But they were still there, lost here after Sin ripped though this area, causing the canyons and tears in the ground. Rocks jutted up from the grass, and the ruins of an old town were littered thoughout the plains. We were just passing though however, but the place gave me shivers. As peaceful and calm as it looked, there were many people wandering here, it was disturbing to say the least.
Just as we were leaving to cross the bridge to Mr Gagazet, we were confronted by the Lady Belgemine. I knew right off what had happened to her, and she gave me the look as if she had always known about me. She was alone, her guardian was no where in sight.
"Strong Fiends at Fayth's Scar..." She held her hand up to her chest, like she was having a ahrd time breathing. But I knew she wasn't breathing at all. "Beware of Sin, he lurks near the entrance of Zanarkand...."
Jecht steped forward, spinning his blitzball on one finger. He seemed confident, as earlier he had defeated fiends with just one hit of his now spiked ball. It would take more than just a hit to slow sin down. If only we could make it into Zanarkand without confronting sin just yet.
"here, take these..." Belgemine held out what looked to be all of her item and weapon stock. "I shall be going to Remeim Temple...." Before leaving she raised her hands above her head, then brought them down in front, bowing to Braska and wishing luck in his journey.
"She's just giving up?" Jecht spat.
"She's dead..." I walked on ahead, leaving Auron and Braska, along with Jecht staring back at the Fallen Belgemine. "come on..."
