What Really Happens in the Chamber of the Fayth

Summoners are Stoners

Yuna faced her guardians in the frozen temple, their eyes watching her.

"I will pray to acquire Shiva," she announced. She abruptly turned, as if anxious to enter, her arms at her side trembling. The heavy door marked with the symbol of Yevon lifted for the young summoner, the light blue fans parting for her entrance. Her steps seemed oddly clumsy, as she stumbled into the chamber like she wasn't quite in control.

"Does something seem weird about Yuna lately?" Tidus asked, leaning against the wall.

"Nope!" Rikku chimed quickly. None of the other guardians felt it necessary to respond.

Tidus slumped further against the wall, "Really? C'mon, guys!"

Yuna paced around the Fayth stone. Anxiously her fingers twitched, she glared behind her, checking that the door was shut. She wiped her brown which was damp with sweat.

Suddenly an ice covered goddess appeared, her skin a pale blue accented with silver and azure garments. Her long hair was sectioned into many braids with golden ribbon weaved between the plaits.

Yuna was immediately relieved, falling to her knees, pleading, "You have it, right? Please tell me you do!"

Shiva smirked, revealing a small pouch in her grasp, "You know the price."

Yuna fumbled with her hands, an awkward fidgeting occurring, "Well, Sir Auron needed a new sword, so I only have 520 Gil. I can pay you back, I promise!"

The aeon's anger flushed across her once calm face, "520 Gil?! Yuna, how much do you think this is worth?!"

Yuna collapsed to the ground, finally succumbing to her withdrawal.

"Oh crap, not again. Ifrit warned me of this, damn summoners. At least they give me business."

Shiva's ice cold hand brushed against the comatose summoner's forehead, instantly waking her.

"Fine, for 520 Gil, I will give you this, but you owe me."

"Oh thank you! Yevon is so kind!" Yuna hurriedly snatched the pouch from the ice aeon's hold.

Within moments the young summoner had injected her stash of crystal meth.

"Nice doing business with you, damn ignorant summoner." The aeon's haughty voice made clear her frustration.

The young summoner did not notice the words for she was too doped up. She acquired the aeon soon after the purchase and usage, then exited the chamber. Her frail steps alarmed the guardians waiting outside. Kimahri rushed to assist the young summoner.

"Seriously! Guys! Doesn't she smell weird?!" Tidus pondered loudly.

"Nope!" Rikku instaneously replied.

Yuna's other guardians had their suspicions, but none voiced their opinions. Something was wrong with Yuna's demeanor of late, her speech was slurred, and the lids of her eyes unevenly covered her hazy eyes.

This wasn't the Yuna Tidus had first met. The Fayth changed her, and he would discover the truth.
