Sphera

Hello everyone, I have been playing FFX again, and just quite inspired to write this, so I just wrote this in one sitting. Hehe. My real intention is to expand it into a full story, but knowing how I might just leave the story incomplete... it'll be considered complete FOR NOW.

Hope you enjoy the story :)

Chapter 1 - Prologue

I have always been looking at her.

She doesn't know it, or maybe she does. But I always see her in my dreams. Or maybe she sees me in her dreams, because after all, I was a dream of the fayth.

I see glimpses of her, almost everyday. Not that time matters, where I am at now.

I saw her standing at the podium in front of thousands of people in the Luca stadium. Wow, I thought to myself, she sure has become more confident since I first met her. She was never the sort that could speak in front of thousands easily. Then again, I would've already saw that change in her, when she stood fearlessly in front of Ronso Maester Kelk. Wakka had never looked more proud… and more concerned for Yuna than he was at the Luca stadium. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I guess she must've been addressing the people post-Sin. I wonder how she was feeling then.

I saw her in the summoner's room in the Temple of Besaid. Looking at the suitcases unpacked near the bed where she was sitting at, she's probably just reached Besaid from Luca. Lulu stood a few feet away from her, her usually stoic expression full of concern. Kimahri stood by the door, his comforting presence making up for his silence. She turned to Lulu, smiling. The black mage nodded and walked out of the room, gently pulling Kimahri along. In her own solitude, I saw her face, expression unreadable. She wordlessly stood up, and paced slightly in her room. She suddenly placed her hands on her hips and started laughing. I could barely make out the words formed by her lips, but I knew she was laughing. If I could still feel pain in the Farplane, my heart would wrench in pain for her at that specific memory that she was recalling.

No matter whatever glimpses I catch of her, I'll always see one scene again and again – she standing at the end of the boat pier, whistling. I thought that I was just getting the same vision repeatedly. It was the day that she stopped doing so, that I realized that for the 6 months since Sin was defeated, she has been whistling everyday. Whistling for me.

Life in the Farplane is not that fun really. It is a never-ending plain of void, yet we were never lost. My old man and I usually sat around and chatted. There were lots of people I've met, and never met. I met Lord Braska, her father. I saw Luzzu, who saluted me for my work in Spira, and thanked me for the care I've given Gatta. The Farplane were full of dead people of Spira, full of fayths… and the dreams of the fayth, like my ol' man and me. But I was not lonely. Auron was with me at least. My mother is here in the Farplane too. Apparently, all the dreams of the fayth never disappear, but remain in the Farplane. Like as if we're dead.

Many times I wondered to myself why she never came to the Farplane post-Sin. I'm not complaining, but she never even once showed any curiosity as to whether I'm dead. Maybe she already knows that even if she were to look for me, I won't be there. Perhaps one day, not wanting to curse her, her time will be up, and she'll be here in the Farplane, reunited with me. Maybe there's that chance that I will completely disappear from the Farplane and no amount of summoning at the Farplane could bring me back.

But until something happens that'll change my life, or hers, I'll always be here watching over her and ensuring she's alright.

Oh and by the way, if you haven't known already, my name is Tidus. And even here in the Farplane, I'm watching over Yuna as her guardian and as one who loves her.

Do review! It'll mean the world to me :)
