A/N: It had just hit me that this will be my fourteenth chapter! It may not mean much to you readers, but before this story I never made it past four chapters, and now I'm ten ahead of that!

Disclaimer: I own what I own, and don't what I do not.

This chapter is dedicated to ... ME! Joke! It's really dedicated to Corina, because I enjoy reading your emails and your peanut joke truly rocks.

Temple Under The Lake

Do you remember what I said a while ago, about when we searched for all the Aeons and after we had finished they was a missing destination? Well, this Temple was the 'missing destination'. The reason it never showed up on the ocillar-thingy? Maybe I should start from when we entered the Temple.

As soon as I had noticed the Temple, I told the others. They all came rushing over to the tiny window to see for them selves. They were not disappointed. We made the decision to go investigate.

Entering the Temple was a bit tricky. You see, as soon as we would open the Temple door, all water would go flooding in. We managed to come up with a plan of action. ON the signal of three ( well, it could hardly be the count of three, could it? We were under water!) we all opened the Temple door and was carried in through the force of the water. As soon as we were in we moved round the side of the door and pushed with all our strength (which isn't a lot, in truth) and were able to slam the door shut. There obviously was still water in the Temple, but it was only waist-height, and seeing as we were already drenched, it didn't really matter.

Once we entered the Cloister Of Trials we were quite shocked.

"Why's it still operational?" Lillie said, meaning the Trials. She was telling the truth – the Trials were functioning.

"I thought the Trials would only work when there was an aeon?" Victoria said, "That's why the other Temple Trials don't work – because there isn't an alive aeon."

We all froze. "Alive ... aeon?" I repeated.

We were all confused, as you would be if you were us. However, our curiosity of what lay behind the Trials pushed us forward and we set to work on what was, by far, the hardest Trial ever.

::Chamber Of Fayth::

I entered the Chamber first. That may make me seem brave, but that isn't the truth; the truth is the others forced me to go in first. I walked forward along the tiny path that lead the circular part of the Chamber, all the time looking at me feet. Then I noticed that the room was glowing a silver, whitish colour. It was the glow ... that the statues had given off. I looked up slowly and my mouth dropped open in astonishment. The statue was still there! The statues that all the previous Aeons used to reside in, one was there, in front of me. Suddenly a man appeared above the statue. It was the fayth of that Aeon.

"Wow ..." I heard Martha say quietly, and I became aware that the others were behind me.

"Wow indeed," The Fayth said, "You obviously were not expecting to come across myself. I can't blame you, I'm unknown anywhere above this water level."

"H-how are you still here?" Victoria said, "Did-did the ruins or something stop you from, you know, leaving?"

The Fayth chuckled slightly, "Of course not – that is not possible. I had to stay."

"You had to?" I said, echoing his words.

"Yes. You see, I am actually the main Fayth. I can understand if you thought Bahamut's was, but instead it is me. It is my duty to stay here and give the information I have to those worthy of it. My name is Farra."

"Um, hi ..." Lillie said, unsure of what to say. "But, what's what your duty? What's this information about?"

"Do you want me to explain? I will tell you know, if you accept to hear what I have to say, you will hold the answer to defeating Lae."

"You know how to defeat him?"

"I do, but if I tell you ... You can not tell any one else, you alone will have to kill him."

Holly asked, barely above a whisper, "Will it be ... hard? Dangerous?"

"Testing," Farra answered, "You will be glad to hear, it involves no fighting. But it will be testing, puzzling, confusing, and I can only give you so much help. Do you accept to hear what I have to say?"

I Looked over my shoulder at the others. Martha and Holly smiled slightly, and Victoria and Lillie give the smallest of nods.

"Yes," I said.

"In that case then," Farra laughed, "You may want to sit down. There will be a lot of questions and answering."

::The Truth And How To Go About it::

"Being the Head Fayth I can see everything and I know everything. All the information you have gathered from Maechen, Bahamut and everything else has been correct, but I'm sure you noticed you lacked one of the biggest things. How to kill Lae. I have that answer."

He paused, then continued, "Lae, or rather 'Nemesis', wants to get revenge to everything he hates. This you know. However, to do this, he is not planning on causes havoc and destruction the way he did in Djose. He has a different idea in mind. That is why he never attacked Luca or Bevelle when you went there. Anyway, there is a power that lays in the Farplane – no human has ever before come across it. In fact, many pyreflies f the dead have too flown past it without a second glance. Nemesis wants to use this power to cause demolition to Spira. You have to go to this place before Nemesis does, and use the power he was going to use to kill others. But instead, you will use it to kill him."

"But ... how are we meant to get there?"

"Follow your heart. Follow your essence. Now, you must tell nobody about this place, or your plans. Not even those of which you travel with. Not even Lady Yuna. Understood?"

"Well, yeah," I said, "But how are we meant to get there before Nemesis?"

"Nemesis is already in the Farplane, searching. What you do is get the others to help you. You can tell them you know how to kill him, but no more. Once you enter the Farplane do anything you can to cause Nemesis to come after you. Tell your friends to keep fighting and distracting him until you find out how to kill him."

"You said not even pyreflies have found this place – how are we meant to in little time?"

"When Nemesis looks for the place, he won't be using his essence to find it, because he does not know that he has such a thing. In fact, no body but you and fayth know about the essence. If you follow the essence within you – your essence, you will find it in know time. Good luck."

"Wait!" Lillie called out, "Aren't you going to tell us more about this power?!"

"When we meet again, I will." Then he faded away.
