Thank you very much everyone for your reviews, I didn't expect them, so I am happy some of you enjoyed this. Hope the following will be as entertaining for you than the first. Also I know my english is bad, feel free to «underline» to me the baddest mistakes when they bug you, it helps me. I am so sorry for the long wait, couldn't get the right beginning for the chapter... Also, it is a short update, and maybe not all that interesting for certain since it will be a little more cheesy, but I felt what follows needed to be in another chapter.
Disclaimer : I do not own or make any money with theses characters. As for the song I am using at the beginning of the chapters, I do not own it either, it belongs to the metal group Gamma Ray.
Binding
Life's a dream that you'll forget
In the endless space
When the scars you got on planet Earth
Will be erased...
- Afterlife, Gamma Ray
The room of the Fayth, there, yes it would be, the Final Aeon. Endless stairs tied in endless knots, bringing back people to the first stairs, cosmic roof of a timeless frame. The singing stars in a sphere around the room without walls gave the sensation of eternety. How ironic. They were going to die.
Yuna did not shake, Yuna did not cry, Yuna was not afraid, as she never was. But that, the unknown, the Black Hole of future, she couldn't bare the sadness that she sensed toward it. What if it would tear them apart ? Well, it would surely do that. But certainly they wouldn't be there, and so they would forget every thing. Death would be the sweet end of worries... The mystic sky looked at them, recomforting but leaving the couple in bottomless doubt.
Tidus, with a wave of his arm signaling Yuna to stay behind one minute, climbed up the stairs. The air was still and the feeling of worrying strangness, the «unheimlich», gripped his heart. The ground was solid but seemed impossible to reach at the same time, like a magnet against another. Anyway Tidus held on and could finally go forward a little more.
"Lady Yunalesca ?"
Yuna was still behind. Tidus took out his sword. Blood pounded in his head, his awareness highen by the adrenalin that accentuated his strength. Before Yuna could call again, Tidus was facing her, hugging and kissing her.
"I will miss you...so much !" he said to her, the urge that time gave made him realize that... Out of despair, he couldn't grip in his mind what he had come to realize. So many thoughts, solutions, memories, ideas jumping in his brain... what was the truth that in the end would be ?
Yuna nodded. She feeled the same, and did not want to make a false move. Tidus sensed her pressing against him, her head resting on his chest.
"You're sure you still want to do this ?" the summoner asked, with struggle in her voice.
"The question never was about what I wanted. It is only about you. Do you want to do it, milady ?" added Tidus to the first question.
Yuna nodded again. The name he had given her touched her heart, for it connoted a champion serving his lady. As if to confirm the impression, the blitzball player kissed her hands tenderly, almost with admiration.
"Then I will follow you, loved one. I have no links here beside you, what would be left of that bound if I'd let you go with one of the others ? Let's do this Yuna, then we'll rest in peace, as you wish, and everyone will be free."
Yuna's eyes narrowed as Lady Yunalesca was coming from the other side. Their hearts were beating fast. They climbed the last stairs and went forward till they stood in front of the renowned summoner.
