Chapter 8: The Dream...
We are back on the road heading to our next destination once again. We have become stronger now, but so have the fiends. They are much tougher and harder to deal with, and I haven't been in good mood lately. The rage inside me is bubbling up like a volcano ready to explode any minute. I ran up to the battle lane and sliced the ice fiend in half with my all-so-mighty Godhand.
"Rikku, you've definitely become stronger compared to the time when you've first joined." As Braska observed my strike at the fiend.
I gave a little smile before moving on to what seemed like an endless road up ahead.
"She's definitely stronger, but that was out of rage that she sliced the thing in half." Jecht commented. Somehow, he always knew how I really felt deep inside. In a way I am glad, at least someone understood me. I glanced over to the tall dark figure who's slowly pacing himself on the dirt road. No reaction. I suppressed the tears that welled inside my eyes as I sighed in disappointment and walked off once again.
It was already dawn and we've finally arrived at the boarder of the biggest city of Spira, Bevelle. I stood over the cliff of the mountain and stared out into the City of Bevelle. I took a deep breath and looked at the sunset, it was…
"It is truly a great scene." My body spun around to see who had finished the sentence for me. It was Auron.
"What do YOU know about beautiful landscapes?" I questioned him.
I could hear his old chuckle again…annoying…but it reminded me of the older version of Auron. Come to think of it, I really missed him…even now, when I am suck in this world where I can see the younger version of him. He's just different. I missed those time where he'd comfort me. The time at the airship…
"…I know it's hard…to loose those around you you love…"
"What do you know about love!"
Tears formed at the corner of my eye as my mind continuously plays back the scene of home.
"Kayakku…"
"Sometimes…you just have to let go and accept the fact."
"I can't…I just can't…"
I could feel his soft leather glove placed on my shoulder, padding my lightly.
"You seem awfully quiet today."
I snapped up from the world of the past and coming back to reality.
I took a deep breath from the fresh air and let out a sigh.
"Have you ever been home sick?" It was an awkward question, but I couldn't hold my stress in any longer.
He chuckled.
"How can one be homesick if they don't have a home?"
Right, he was a warrior monk.
"Hey, don't worry bout it, we're your family right?"
We both stood at the cliff, enjoying the gentle breeze slightly bouncing off our face and through my blonde hair. For one moment, I felt relaxed. I had almost forgotten what it was like to watch sunset with your beloved. I remember the one and only time I had watched sunset with him. It was the night at Zanarkand. That memory will forever stay within my mind, because I thought it would never happen to me again. I missed him… but now...
"It's hard…when you know that one of your family member will die."
"You mean Braska?"
He gave a slight nod.
"Yeah…but everyone will look up to him."
"Fame…is not what Braska wants…and little Yuna…how would she feel about loosing a father."
"Yunie will surely be proud of what her father did!."
He gave an awkward stare.
"Yunie..."
"OH, hehe Yunie is a cute name! I think I should head back to camp now, night Auron!" I hurriedly walked to my tent and slipped in before he had another chance to ask more.
Does it harm to tell him my true identity? Maybe, he could somehow help, or understand me. Or would he just abandon me and never speak a word to me ever again?
"Where I am?"
"You're in a dream, Welcome Rikku, I am a Fayth."
"Wa…wha…how did I come here!"
"I've sent you here so I could speak with you."
"Wh..why?"
"Calm down, I know how you're feeling right now in the world of the past. But you mustn't tell anyone about your identity. You have to be strong, the fayth and Auron depend on you. You are his only hope if you want to save him."
"But…how? Why me?"
"We know you share a special bond with himthat you keepwithin your heart. It is this bond that makes you special, and it is only this bond that can help save Auron. You mustn't let the past repeat itself. You must stop the death of him. Stop him from running into Yunalessca, do you understand?"
"Ye..yes…but… why can't I tell Auron? I will tell him about the future and he will understand not to face Yunalessca."
"No, you mustn't tell anyone about your identity, remember that. If you do, there's a chance where the past and reality will collide and corruption will occur. Remember my words. It is time for you to wake up…Wish you luck…"
"WAIT!" I shot up from my pillow.
"No!"
"Rikku…" Small footsteps approached my tent. I opened the zipper to see Auron standing outside.
"I was patrolling the area and I heard you scream…"
"No, I am fine…" I wiped the tears off my eye and gave a few sniffs.
"Rik.."
"I SAID I AM FINE, NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" With that, he turned and continued his patrol outside. The words of the fayth echoed in my mind. I had so many questions to ask…maybe if I fall asleep and dream again, I can see the fayth. I closed my eyes…waiting to fall back asleep…to dream once more.
That's it...more fluff will go on later...gotta go now... plz post up some reviews! Bye!
