Sent Memories
24th April
Tidus wandered back over to the group of confused teammates. They were now huddled, crying in each other's arms.
Now there were some new members, Lulu and someone Tidus had never seen before.
She was wearing a beige knee-high skirt, with some kind of sandals on her feet. On the top however she didn't seem to wear much, just a flimsy kind of blouse, with a blue studded belt tied round her waist. Her top was rather revealing, and tucked under at the bottom, showing a tanned slim body.
Tidus didn't like her. What was she doing here? She wasn't welcome.
Nor was he. They didn't know him.
The woman turned round to face Tidus, she looked like a sort of desert ranger, her flowing dark brown hair was half tied back with clips supporting the hair tied round the back of her head. Her face looked brave. Tidus couldn't think of any other emotion other than that he didn't want this intruder here.
"I'm sorry, I truly am..." her voice was gentle yet firm and strong. " do you know what has happened here? What was the cause of her death?" Tidus hated her even more, saying the word 'death' sent unwelcome chills down his spine. Something wasn't right. Why did Tidus hate her?
"she is dead isn't she?" asked Wakka. 'How stupid could you get!' thought Tidus. But the hope was unbearable. What if she WAS still alive? But Tidus ridiculed it.' She's dead, and there is nothing any one can do to bring her back...'
Tidus felt like a huge fiend was shredding his heart in a blender. The words...is she dead? 'She couldn't be! Where are the pyreflies? Rikku has made a mistake! Yuna's alive!'
Tidus had got his hopes up. But he had spoken too soon.
" I will send her" the woman said. She drew her staff and began dancing. Her hair fluttering in a non-existent breeze.
'She's a summoner. Yuna IS dead.' Tidus thought. He lashed out at the ranger. " Stop! Don't send her! I DON'T WANT HER TO GO!" Tidus screamed. This was the last, Yuna was finally going. Dead, to the Farplane. But even at Tidus's attempt to attack her, the summoner continued to twirl. Small streams of multicoloured light swam in the air around Yuna. Gently floating skywards. The last.
Tidus felt as though his memories were being sent too. With every pyrefly that left Yuna's lifeless body, Tidus could remember less and less of her. This wasn't how it was meant to be.
Eventually Yuna was gone. Tidus could vaguely remember where she lay, as the sand had shuffled in a breeze that had just appeared.
The desert was hot but the wind was ice cold. It froze the tears that now rolled down Tidus's cheeks. It made his eyes sore...from the last sight of Yuna.
' my life is not worth living, I want to go with her, why couldn't I have died at her side?' Tidus was walking away, brushing past the ranger / summoner in a hurry. He still hated her. For sending, for being there...he realized, the ranger must have been Al Bhed.
He reversed and stared into the ranger's empty eyes. Nothing...just normal...
The Al Bhed would be sorry for their actions...Tidus would make damn sure of it...
Hey! Thanks for reading! Please review.
