Lightning-Dono: Argh, I can't beat Yunalesca. O.o She's…deadly. Her third form simply murders…but that isn't quite why I've chosen to write this. I ADORE Tidus x Yuna, so here is a little something for that ship. I guess you can say it's Tidus talking about Yuna.

It's very short. Sorry! D:

She smiles, even though she feels the pain hit her like a thousand sharpened knives. It helps her hang on, she claims. It helps her remember that there is suffering in the world greater than her own. She taught me how to bark out my own inner spirit through such remedial sound, as though I were laughing at the world, when I was truly laughing at my own failure.

She cries silently in the darkness as it settles in, refusing to reveal her tear-stained face to those who were too naïve to know. Too controlled by their own inner turmoil to know that her many smiles were thrust out on the behalf of others, but I knew better. She cries because the thousand knives have finally met with their target, and that now she can't hide it anymore. Every tear that rounds her chin is a tear for all of the people that have died because she couldn't fulfill her duty on time.

Every time we hug, I feel and think of only her warmth.

Every time we hug, she's thinking of how many times we may experience such heavenly bliss again before the warmth is extinguished from her body. And when she does, she remembers that before long, she won't have me by her side.

To the world, she's the summoner they need to be safe. The person who was to defeat the monster they have created by their own foolishness by sacrificing her life as penance. She lives to atone for the people she represents the hope of. To them, she is but the metaphorical embodiment of god, ready to call upon the unearthly beings she has control over.

To me, she represents life. A person with a soul as tainted as anyone else, yet pure with the undeniable innocence she wears on her sleeve. The young woman with eyes as soft as a dove's, yet bears a spirit as tumultuous and fiery as a soldier in war.

To the world, she's the one that will save them.
To the world, she is but a summoner.

To me, she's the one that must be saved.
To me, she is a human.
