"Yuna!"

I felt someone shaking my shoulder frantically. But, I just kept staring at the spot where the man was before he vanished. I barely heard Paine and Rikku's voices of panic. I was soon snapped out of my trance when I felt Paine smack me across my cheek,

"…Guys?" I whispered. Their faces were etched with so much fear.

"Yuna…we saw what happened. We heard everything."

"Who was he Yunie? What's going on?"

I took a deep breath, drawing my hand back, bringing it close to my chest, "Guys…we have another mission."

"What are you talking about?" Paine asked.

I told them the entire dream with the Bahamut Fayth from earlier in the day. I told them about the threat to another world, about the prophecy, even the man's voice at the end. Afterwards, they looked really confused.

"Ok, here's my question, why are we getting involved in another world's problems? Why is the Fayth sending us to help these people?" Paine asks, irritated.

"…I don't know." I said softly.

"I have a guess," Rikku started.

"Oh great. What is Professor Rikku's theory?" Paine mocked, voice border lining between annoyed and amused.

Rikku stuck her tongue out, "The Fayth feel bad about what Tidus did to Yunie. Maybe they want her to find happiness in this other world. And the fact that the world is going to be attacked is probably a coincidence."

"I doubt it." Paine said bluntly, "They probably set the whole thing up."

"I don't think so. There's something that doesn't make sense to the whole thing." I said.

"And what would that be?" Paine asked.

"How could the Fayth know what's going to happen in another world? And after knowing that, learn of a prophecy that mentions me and four other people, who I'm guessing are all from this other world, in it and the five of us are key names in this, whatever it is. Also, how can they have the ability to send us to this other world? It just doesn't make any sense to me."

"Maybe there are more people pulling the strings." Paine said.

"Pulling the strings?" I asked.

"I mean people like the Fayth probably set up the whole thing, deities I guess would be the name. This whole thing might be just a giant play to them."

"Paine, don't be so negative." Rikku retorted back, "The Fayth might have thought that the people would not be capable of handling the threat on their own and needed help. These deities you mentioned probably warned the Fayth that help would be needed and asked to send aid. They're probably going to help with the transportation. Besides, the man that was just here was really hot, wasn't he Yunie?"

She playfully hit my arm and winked at me. Honestly, the man was very attractive. Just the way he looked and sounded…

"…Yeah, he was." I found myself blushing as Rikku playfully hit me again, "Just wish I had a name to go by."

"Wonder though, what part of that prophecy is he? He said he was in that right? Is he one of the heroes said to fight with you, or…are you going to have to fight against him?" Paine asked.

"Paine! Don't ask questions like that!" Rikku shouted, playfully smacking Paine, "Don't scare Yunie like that!"

"Stop that! I only said it as a thought! Don't get all bent out of shape!" Paine shouted, grabbing Rikku's hands. "Anyway, we should head back. We can solve this puzzle in the morning."

"Yeah, it's getting late. C'mon Yunie." Rikku said, releasing herself from Paine's grip and helped me up. As we're leaving for the village, I turned one last time to look at the spot where he was. I thought I saw him, winking at me with that smirk on his face.

"Yuna! Let's go!"

"Who are you?" I whispered, as I followed Paine and Rikku back to the village.

The Bahamut Fayth saw them leaving. He, too, had seen what transpired, "Yuna…" Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching him.

"Would you mind telling me what you're planning…Sophitia?"

"You don't really need to know." Sophitia said as she came closer. Her long, light blonde, braided hair, tied with a teal ribbon and her short white dress flew gently in the ocean breeze.

"Yes, I do! Who was that man that was just here?! Why did you tell me to speak with him! I demand you give me answers!"

"Oh come now, why must you act like a child? I told you, Soul Edge is planning-"

"You mentioned that already! I am well aware of the basics! Just explain who the man is and why I spoke with him! How important is he?!"

Sophitia, unfazed by the Bahamut Fayth's outbursts, calmly answers him, "He…is a key figure in our fight against Soul Edge. He is also a key to free your hero from her troubled past."

"What do you mean?"

"I did a little…investigating…if you will. He has a troubled past of his own. I figured, the two of them can help each other out."

"Wait…so you basically just paired them up?" he asked is disbelief. The only reason that man is important…was because Sophitia just hooked them up?

"No, I assure you, that is not the case. I simply gave each of them hope. That's all it was."

"Whatever." He said, irritated.

"Besides, that wasn't really him. More like a dream version, an illusion if you will."

"What? How did…never mind." He shook his head. He figured out that she wasn't going to reveal any answers to him, but he wanted to push his luck with more questions, "So, you told me to speak with him because…?"

She turned her gaze to the ocean, "…Because, like he said, he is part of the prophecy. I sent you to warn him."

"If that's the case, then why didn't we warn the others about this? Weren't there more people involved in this 'prophecy'?"

"Yeah, there were at least three other people, but I figured that if we warn one, he'll send the message out."

"Admit it; you were too lazy to warn the others."

"It has nothing to do with that," she glared at him, "but, there might be more than them, but-"

"Wait, there's more!?"

"Well, I recently learned of a new part, an al bhed thief finds love unexpectedly, but has to choose between the hearts of a werewolf and a two-toned ninja. I think that's how she deciphered it."

"Wait, she who?"

"You don't need to know. Anyway, shouldn't you worry less about my motives and more on making sure your hero is mentally ready to go. This will probably be the biggest fight of her life."

"You…fine. But I still want some answers. You never did give me that man's name."

"Later. Now, check on your hero."

The Bahamut Fayth gave an irritated look as he disappeared. Sophitia returned her gaze to the ocean, watching the waves closing in on the shoreline.

"You don't really need to know of my motives, just help us in our fight against Soul Edge. I didn't choose for your hero and her two companions to be part of it, but now they are needed. That man that was here, he plays such a big role, him and his own companions. There's a heavy burden placed on them. But, that one has more to deal with, like cutting the chains of the past off your hero and himself. I wonder, will he? Will he truly be able to free her and himself as well as defeat Soul Edge? Will you be strong enough for all the events that are going to happen to you…Dean Ambrose?
