We all stayed the night, and boy was it cramped. I got up early as per my usual and made a breakfast spread that could rival a Bevelle feast. Yuna woke up first and saw the spread, her eyes wide.
"You made this all for us?" She asked and I told her to wait a few minutes and she would understand. Not even two minutes later, the boys appeared from their room and mumbled good morning before digging in. They piled their plates with food, and Yuna told them that what they had on their plates could feed all of Besaid. That made them laugh.
"That is a normal plate for them. That is why I get up early, to cook enough for those two." I said as I watched Rikku and Auron come out of his room. My raised eyebrow didn't escape Auron's notice, and he gave me a look that told me to keep it to myself. After everyone was full, we packed our gear and headed out. I locked the door again and turned around to see everyone waiting on me. I started walking towards the towering Mt. Gagazet, with them following me. As we walked, I suddenly remembered something. I turned to ask everyone if we could make a slight detour, and it seemed that no one really wanted to go to Mt. Gagazet yet so they agreed. I saw the boys getting antsy so I told them to meet me at the Travel Agency. That was all they needed to take off running. Rikku looked at Auron, who took off after them. We were getting into Malboro territory and I knew he was making sure that they didn't meet up with one. Rikku quickly followed after him. Yuna looked at me, the question in her eyes.
"I will say nothing because I know Auron would really kill me. And without Braska, that would make all my children parentless. So I will keep it to myself." I told her. She pouted for about five minutes, then laughed. Paine made a side comment that Rikku must be happy since she wasn't in the girls' room last night. Yuna's eyes widened, and I retorted with a comment about her and Tidus. That made her face go red, and she said not another word the rest of the way there. As we got closer, we saw that the boys did get into a fight with an Malboro, and Auron and Rikku were trying to protect them. Yuna and Paine ran over to help, while I readied my most powerful fire spell. As soon as I was close enough, I let the spell loose. It hit, and the Malboro fell.
"Mom! I can't wait until you teach me that spell!" Sora screamed as he ran towards me. I smiled and told him that when he was ready, I would. After we made it to the Travel Agency safely, I talked to the creator of Argent, Inc. We talked about his son and how he needed a wife, and I told him that I could spread the word. He thanked me and I told the others that it was time. Time to head to Mt. Gagazet. I had kept in contact with Kimarhi through the almost two years that he was leading the Ronso. He sent me a message when Lian and Ayde were born, and I told him to raise them with love and care. I knew that they would leave the mountain and told him to tell them stories of the world.
I knew that deep in her heart, Yuna couldn't wait to see Kimarhi. And I knew if it came down to protecting Yuna, Kimarhi would lay his life down for her. Their bond was strong and after everything she went through two years ago, he would never leave her side if she asked. But it would do him good to see her. To see how strong she was. She had lost almost everything back then, and Kimarhi had to go lead the remaining Ronso not long after Yuna's announcement that Sin was gone. Wakka and Lulu would send messages every so often and took good care of a broken Yuna. But I had warned Lulu that one day she would want to see the world again, and they needed to let her.
By the time I was pulled out of my thoughts, we were near the entrance to the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. I led them down to the gorge, and Paine gasped. My guess was she had never been here. Yuna turned to her and told her that until two years ago, a Fayth was here. Paine had so many questions, but she saw the hurt in Yuna's eyes and let the subject drop. While Yuna and Rikku went over to the organizers to give them a piece of their minds, I turned to Paine.
"I knew about this Fayth before when I journeyed with Braska. But he didn't need it for his journey as much as Yuna did. So when the time came, I made sure she had all the strength she needed to defeat Sin. And she did. I stayed close to help her, and guide her. As any mother would." I explained. Paine nodded and said that her past was bad too. But I already knew what had happened, and this journey would help her put the past behind her. Hopefully. But Yuna was done and was ready to meet Kimarhi again after two years.
We trekked out of the gorge and started our climb up to the mountain gates. I had sent a message to Kimarhi to let him know we were heading his way when we were at the Travel Agency. So he knew we were coming, and had a Ronso waiting to escort us to the gate. Yuna looked surprised that we had a guard, but accepted it with grace. We were led straight to Kimarhi, and Yuna ran to him.
