Slowly, he opened his eyes, letting them adjust to the light around him...which wasn't much. He was in water...a ocean maybe? He raised his hand slowly to his eyes, he could see it, he scanned the rest of his body seeing the rest of him intact. But still...the numb feeling persisted, he couldn't hear, but he could see, and from what he could gather he wasn't breathing either...Tidus looked at the water he drifted in, where was he? How much time had passed? How did he get his form back? He thought, kicking against the blue liquid he propelled himself towards the surface the light growing brighter and brighter as he reached the surface. He broke the surface with what should have been a loud splash, but not a single wave was made, not even a ripple...He looked at the surroundings around him...He was in...Spira? But how? He thought confusingly...He knew he couldn't be real...if he was he would feel, he would hear...As Tidus scanned the area around him he realized he was in Kilka, the very same place he had seen Yuna send killed by Sin to the Farplane. Was he in the Farplane? He wondered...was this really Spira? He propelled himself through the water, nearing one of the docks, climbing up, he tried to dry himself off, but he realized he wasn't even wet...not even his hair.
Tidus just shook his head, "this is definitely something I'm going to have to get used to", he thought. As he walked down the dock he saw people going about their daily business, greeting each other as they passed. He tried to catch one of the passing men's attention, but he continued walking as if he never even saw or heard him. He just shook his head and continued walking down the peer. He stopped for a moment, staring at the sun as it began to descend into the horizon...
All at once he heard children laughing and playing, he could hear in the distance the sound of hammers, people talking amongst themselves. Tidus looked around confused, why had his hearing came back so suddenly...was he starting to become real? The thoughts raced one after the other through his head. Suddenly he heard the commotion of children behind him, before he had time to react, the children were racing towards him. One after the other each child passed through him as though he were never there. Tidus just looked down in shock as he watched the spectacle...
Just as he was on the airship...he was nothing more than a shade in a world of life... He sat down on the peer, confused and full of questions without answers. Why was he here? What was he? When was he? His cascading thoughts were interrupted by a small voice..."Your confused, wondering how a shade could be within the light when it is only ment for the darkness..." Tidus snapped around hearing the voice. He saw a small boy, his wore a blue hooded robe, his face shadowed, but parts of it could be made out. He was a Fayth...the same Fayth who helped Yuna and them destroy Sin, the same one who told Tidus in the beginning what he was...
"Why am I here?" Tidus said bluntly. "We are not sure ourselves, a dream should fade when the dreamers awaken...but here you are, a shade...but still here." The Fayth replied honestly, "You are a dream touched by reality, that part of reality holds you here where you should have disappeared into nothingness..." "But a dream you still are, and until you are dreamed once more, forever will you stay a shade.." replied the Fayth. Tidus yanked at his hair, he did not feel it touching his hands, did not feel the pain he should have as he yanked it in frustration. In fact he doubted he could even mare his form..."Then what your telling me is I'm stuck in Spira alone? I can't be seen, or heard...or even interact with the world at all!" Tidus said, his voice raising with each word. "Yes" The Fayth said quickly. "We are happy that you did not fully vanish with the rest of the dream, you helped us wake from that dream...but you were touched by Sin...and in return were touched by reality...Im sorry, but a shade is what you are, it is more than what you were ever suppose to be..."
Tidus stared along the ocean as the sun made it's final decent behind the horizon, covering the world in a dark shroud. He was impossibly confused...why was he allowed to remain behind, even as merely a "ghost" But worst of all...why was he left to be completely...alone...
Truthfully, I'm not happy with this chapter, I think it really, really sucked. I don't know why it is, but I have problems with dialogues between characters, I'm trying to work on it, please review and tell me what you think or how I can improve, and if you think it is utter crap like I think it is, please tell me!
