Tidus and Yuna felt like they were both being pulled in my invisible string attached to their stomachs as they were drawn in to the light. They were soon surrounded by the mist and couldn't even see each other. Yuna squeezed Tidus' hand harder as they were pulled further in to the vortex of light and mist. Yuna closed her eyes as the swirling was making her feel sick and Tidus looked around hoping that he would see some sort of exit.
He reached a hand out in front of him then felt his way towards Yuna and grabbed her spare hand. He tried to call out her name to check the she way okay but nothing came out of his mouth and he closed is again quickly, trying not to get any of the mist in. He coughed automatically and then closed his eyes. Yuna then squeezed her other hand in to Tidus' and pulled herself closer to him, realizing that they were no longer standing on solid ground.
She opened her eyes quickly and noticed that the mist and light were changing colour, from a dull green colour to a brilliant blue above them and an orange-gold colour below them.
"Ti-" She tried to call out and he opened his eyes.
"Yu-na." He called out and keeping his mouth as closed as possible. She nodded and gave a smile. She loosened one of her hands and pointed down. Below them a new land was forming and they were about to land on sand. He looked down and then nodded at him and grabbed her hand again as they could now see each other clearly.
Seconds later they were both standing on soft yellow sand the stretched for miles. Yuna looked at Tidus and smiled and hugged him.
"For a minute there I was worried that we wouldn't make it out." Yuna said, a waver in her voice a she was trying not to cry. Tidus looked around and then turned around.
"Do you know where we are?" He asked. Yuna shook her head. Then her eyes widened.
"Wait." She said and she let go of Tidus and looked out to the ocean. "This looks like Besaid, we're back at Besaid." She cheered and smiled and her eyes gleamed with tears of happiness.
"We are?" Tidus asked, not believing Yuna. She nodded.
"I know this place like the back of my hand, the ocean, the sand," she then looked to the left of her and saw the deck. "This is it, we're back home. I'm home." She started to walk towards the footpath that went back to the village. Tidus stood where he was.
"I'm not so sure." He said.
"Believe me!" Yuna said and took Tidus' hand and pulled him back so as he was walking with her. Tidus put his hand down by his side and made sure that weapon was still with him. Yuna smiled and nodded and then Tidus, still concerned, nodded and carried on walking with her.

Kimahri ran right up to where the light was, it was getting more and more intense as he looked at it. He reached his hand forward but all he could feel was that there was some sort of field stopping him from touching the light. He sighed and stepped back, stepping around the light trying to see if Yuna and Tidus were anywhere.
Wakka and Lulu arrived next, followed by Rikku and then Auron who was not running but walking quickly.
"They must have gone in there." Auron said. Lulu was fascinated by the light.
"I have only ever seen one of these once before." She said and she reached he fingers forward to touch it. The same thing happened to her as had happened to Kimahri and she couldn't touch it. "That is strange."
"What is it?" Asked Rikku naively.
"It's a type of portal." Auron said.
"It's a Maester Portal," Lulu said. "Usually they can only be used by Maesters when they want to escape or need to go someone calm to breakout from the hectic lives that they lead." She then walked right the way around the portal. "There are usually only one or two ways in to these ad they are a one in a million chance that you will find them. We could stand here and search for ever but there must be another way of getting in to them."
"You think they've gone in there? Even though it can only be used by Maesters?" Wakka inquired, walking over to stand next to Lulu and Kimahri.
"Perhaps there was a rule that was missed somewhere along the line. Something about Summoners?" Lulu suggested. Auron shook his head.
"These portals are controlled by Maesters, if someone were to go through a portal like this a Maester would know." Kimahri shook his head.
"We must find way in." He said and he reached his hand forward again. Lulu shook her head.
"We don't know for sure they went in there."
"They must have." Rikku said. "Where else do you suggest they went? We lose them and then there is a huge blinding light coming from here but it's just a coincidence?" Lulu shook her head.
"That does sound suspicious but perhaps we should check out the surrounding area before we try?" She said and she turned to walk out of the opening.
"Wait." Auron said. "If we search we search together and if we go through this portal we go together. We've already lost each other once, we don't want to make it worse." Everyone nodded. "We search for the next half an hour. Kimahri, Rikku you guard this. Lulu, Wakka, us three will search the surrounding area. Agreed?" Everyone nodded.
"Agreed."
