Sorry it's been so long since I've updated on this story!!! I was having an episode of writers block for a while...like...I knew how it was going to end, but I wasn't sure what to do with the middle chapters. (During my writers block I started writing another fic called Zanarkand A-East....check it out if you want to make me happy!! It's quite the funny fic...the full summary is before Chapter One of that story if you're interested) However, I thought of a good transition...This story isn't near done yet, but I think I have the rest of the story planned out. ) R&R please, and I will definitely update more soon!

"Hello, Yuna." I jumped perhaps a good foot and a half when the fayth spoke to me again. I wasn't concentrating on him floating in front of me, I was more thinking why Lenne and Shuyin didn't appear. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"No, it's just that...I thought that the pyreflies only formed visions and memories of people. I didn't think that the visions could actually talk," I trailed off as I thought of the time when I was on my pilgrimage and I came to the Farplane. I went to talk to my parents about how Seymour proposed to me, but they never said a word to me. They just looked at me...

"The visions don't talk to you."

"Ah, okay, this makes perfect sense. I'm hallucinating then. What else would I be doing?" I didn't mean to have a sarcastic tone in my voice, but I was just shocked, so surprised. I didn't know what else to say, so I just stood there, blinking at the fayth. At that moment, the fayth grabbed my arm and pulled me off the floating bit of land that I was standing on. I screamed as I was engulfed in a white light.

I slowly opened my eyes to see where I was. I observed my surroundings as I sat up; I was surrounded by a beautiful array of flowers in every color of the rainbow. There was a gentle breeze that hit my face and moved my hair. Waterfalls were flowing on one side of me, whereas nothing was on the other side. I'm assuming that if I were to fall down there, I would never hit the bottom. I would just fall down into an abyss. Abyss...that's where I was. I was in the abyss of the Farplane Glen. This was not the first time that I have been here, or the second. I was here the first time that I met Shuyin, (and I thought that he was Tidus...my first thought? "Damn, two years definitely did some great things to him!!!" Although he was a very attractive man when I met him at first as well...but you know what I mean) and when the fayth from Bevelle thanked me for putting Shuyin and Lenne to rest.

"Hello?" I said as I gradually got to my feet, hoping to hear some response. My head was throbbing for some reason, I must've hit it somehow. I walked around a few steps, and pyreflies gathered a few feet away from me. "Oh thank god..." I said under my breath. At least I wasn't alone.

The pyreflies slowly became the form of the fayth. I walked up to him and he simply looked up at me. There were so many questions that I wanted to ask him that I didn't know where to start. After a minute of silence, I finally thought of something to say.

"What's going on?" Okay, it wasn't the most brilliant question that I could've asked, but it was vague enough that it asked a million questions.

"You are in the Farplane Glen," I tried not to roll my eyes at him. Hello, I already knew that.

"Yeah, I've been here before. But what am I doing here?" I asked as patiently as I could.

"Don't you want some answers?" I nodded my head at him and he nodded back. "This was the only place that I could speak to you without anyone else eavesdropping. I'm not supposed to be talking to you, knowing I'm just supposed to be pyreflies."

"Oh." Yep, those were the only words that I could squeak out. I was not feeling the brightest at this point in time, but I hate being confused. Once again, silence fell between the fayth and I. "I know this sounds like a stupid question and all, but while I was in the Farplane, I was thinking of Shuyin and Lenne, and they didn't appear. Where are they?"

"We're sorry."

"Sorry about what?" I tried not to whine as I said that. The last couple of times that the fayth from Bevelle apologized for the rest of the fayths and himself, badness ensued.

"Yuna, when they burst into pyreflies, who performed the sending?"

"The sending?" I said as I wrinkled my nose. "Summoners don't exist anymore."

"Sin is dead. The age of the summoner is over. These are the thoughts that many people in Spira have, including you, I see." I nodded because it was true. Summoners weren't needed to go on a pilgrimage any more. Sin was never coming back, so summoners simply weren't needed. Even though I have the title of High Summoner, it doesn't really have any affect. "However, the dead still need guidance. They need to be sent to the Farplane, or else their souls turn into fiends."

"Wait a minute," I said as I started to catch on. "There haven't been any summoners in the past two years. How many people have died in two years? Hundreds? Thousands? Where did their souls go?"

"Exactly my point." I gasped as I put my hand to my chest. "They're angry."

"And Shuyin and Lenne?" I couldn't stand to think of them as fiends. Shuyin was powerful enough as it was as a human, how strong of a fiend would he be? "Are they fiends too?"
"Go to Bevelle, Yuna. I cannot share more with you now." He burst into pyreflies as I let out a frustrated scream. What the hell was going on? A blinding pain struck my head and I was engulfed in a white light again.

"Yuna! Yuna, please wake up!" I slowly opened my eyes to see Tidus, Rikku, Gippal, Leblanc, and Nooj kneeling around me. "Oh thank god, you're all right!"

"I...I'm fine," I said as Tidus helped me sit up. I looked at my surroundings and realized that I was still in the Farplane, but I was in Guadosalam. I was no longer on the Farplane Glen, and I was thankful for that. I slowly stood to my feet as everyone just looked at me in astonishment. A thousand thoughts were running through my head at the moment, and I didn't know how to sort them all. I didn't want another adventure like this; I just wanted to settle down with my life. Have a family, live a wonderful life, die of old age. I didn't want to jump into the fray again, but every time I do, it seems like it's for personal reasons. I'm too close with the people of Spira. Maybe everything I did was for my father, for Auron...or maybe it was just for myself.

"What happened?" Rikku said as she gave me a hug. I groaned a little bit in pain, for my entire body hurt. I felt like I was repeated hit by thundaga spells after a shoopuf ran over me. She released me and apologized. "Sorry, Yunie."

"No, it's okay." I sighed as I brushed the dirt off of me. "I don't know what happened."

"All that matters is that you're not hurt," Tidus said as he kissed me on the forehead. "What possessed you to come here anyway?"

"Well, I was originally here to see my father. Ya know, maybe just talking to him would clear my mind and he could help me out." Everyone gave me a look that said, 'and...go on...' so I continued. "However, when I got here, I started to think of Shuyin and Lenne. Ya know, see how they were doing and see how happy they were that they were finally together again."

"Awww, how are they doing?" Rikku said in a cheery voice. Rikku is a sucker for romance, that's for sure.

"Um, I didn't get to see them." I said simply as Tidus and Gippal helped me to my feet. Everyone looked at me in a confused manner, but since I was confused as well, I couldn't explain myself. Instead of trying, I only sighed and said, "We need to go fix up Bevelle. Let's go." Everyone nodded as we all headed toward the Celsius.
