Yuna looked at Tidus under the water and then both headed to the surface but they soon found out that they were not in present day Spira anymore. They both found themselves near the shore on Zanarkand, 1000 years in the past. The city was like any bustling city of that time full of machina and many people. "Tidus, are we..?" "I think so Yuna, we're in Zanarkand." "So this is what it looked like huh?" "Yep, I have been wanting to get back here ever since I left but now I don't find my self in that same state of mind." "What do you want to do first Tidus?" "I think maybe we should try to find my father if he is lurking around here." "Oh, I would love to meet Sir Jecht, the man who helped my father defeat Sin," she hesitates and thinks for a minute, "Tidus, you said that you hadn't seen your father for ten years now right?" "Right." "Tidus, I have a thought that I really hope isn't true." "What is it Yuna?" "I think that my father chose Jecht as The Final Summoning." "Oh, well is that a bad thing?" "You mean you don't know? Tidus if my father chose Jecht as the final summoning that means, well…" She hesitates more and almost begins to cry, "Tidus, your father is Sin." "My dad, Sin, no way, it can't be!" "Tidus were do you think he went for ten years?" "I just thought that he couldn't get back like me, I mean…" Tidus pauses and looks like he is sick and then Yuna runs up to him and says "Tidus, what's wrong, what's the matter, what's…" Yuna begins to feel this way too. They both go into this sleep-like trance and then wake up in the middle of the water in Gagazet. "What happened Yuna." "I don't know really, were we dreaming, did we go there?" "I don't know, we should really get going." "Okay Tidus lets go."
Yuna and Tidus made their descent down Gagazet and saw the ruins that lay before them and couldn't help feeling a slight bit of "déjà vu." Tidus began his long walk through a world he once knew and loved but now, destroyed just as Yuna had said. He could help but shed a tear to see all the places he once knew all gone. "You were right Yuna, it's true, it's gone." "Tidus, don't feel bad, sometimes people need to see things for themselves. I am sorry about how coarse I was to you." "That's alright, now that I see all this, I could understand why now." They made their way through all the trials of the ruins and finally made it to the chamber of the fayth were they met Yuna's namesake Lady Yunaleska, the first to defeat Sin, the bestower of the Final Summoning, the daughter of Yu Yevon the ruler of Zanarkand. "Good evening Lady Summoner," Yunaleska said. "Good evening" Yuna said followed by Tidus. "Have you come to get bestowed the final summoning," "No I haven't, I need to talk to you Lady Yunaleska." "Wait, I know how you are, you are High Summoner Braska's daughter, are you not?" "I am Lady Yunaleska, I wanted to ask you something, with your help, I would like to defeat Sin, in another manner, I have been thinking about this for a while and I think there is a way." Tidus looks appalled after the earlier conversation they had about him being a dream but then realizes that Yuna wants to achieve a calm without death or loss of friends so he stood his ground. "There is no other way to defeat him, you must receive the final aeon and then kill Sin using the final summoning, it maybe a sacrifice but your sacrifice does not go unrewarded for you will bring a time of peace, the calm." "But Lady Yunaleska, could there be a way to avoid the sacrifice, just think about it, a summoner dies to kill Sin and the calm comes, but for how long, ten years maybe, what if we could bring eternal calm, what if we could end the Spiral of Death." "You make a convincing argument Lady Summoner, please tell me of your plan." "What if instead of killing Sin, bargain with him, we could…" "You would bargain with Sin, you would bargain with a much higher power," "Who?" "My father, Yu Yevon, he possess the aeon and turns it against Spira and trust me, once he has his mind set on something, he stops for no one." "I see Lady Yunaleska, then if we must fight him then we must." "I like your spirit Yuna, you remind me of myself when I was your age, I bid you good luck and farewell for this maybe the last time we cross paths in this life." "Thank you Lady Yunaleska, I will try my best." While Yuna and Tidus were departing from Zanarkand where they met up with a terrifying reality… To Be Continued.
