Welcome to Gaia! ::

A great Coliseum of the Gods of Old and the lurking Underworld.

Darkness

Darkness. Pain. Death.

That was what that world was. Wasn't it? So much destruction...So much chaos. The people were scared. The people were dying. They were losing their Hearts. And what then? What was he to do? He tried to fight. He tried to save them.

And for what?

The blond gave up. He was too tired to fight back now.

Too many Heartless...

Too much darkness...

Finally, he gave in. Darkness swollowed the Zanarkand dreamer. I'm so sorry...I promised I would protect you people...and now look. I'm in darkness and everyone is gone. The world is done for. Tidus thought sadly. He lost consiousness then...

Underworld

When the old teen awoke, he was in a dark place. A cave. He sat up quickly and looked around. Where the hell was he now? He got up onto his feet, nearly collapsing again from his aching muscles. Oh man...he overdid it this time.

"Hello?! Anyone here?" He called, his high voice echoing across the vast cave. Man...now he would simply get lost again! He wish Auron was around....Or Yuna.

Shuyin?

He heard a woman's voice. And he turned around to her. Brown hair...small frame. Yuna? No...her hair was too long, and she lacked the unique green and blue eyes he had often found himself lost in. Lenne was not his summoner.

"No...I donno any Shuyin. My name's Tidus." He told her, smiling suddenly.

"Hey, your clothes...where are you from?" He asked her suddenly. They looked like material from Zanarkand. Maybe she knew where Yuna was?!

The Blitzer was excited now. He finally found someone! And she must have been from Spira! The clothes were unmistakable!

Spira? Zanarkand?

Oh man. Tidus found someone from his city! The last city Sin destroyed! Giving a loud shout of glee, Tidus threw his arms around Lenne. "Oh man! Yes! It has been so long since i've found ANYWAY from Spira OR Zanarkand!" He laughed. He was so happy!

Pulling away, he smiled wide, calming down conciderably from moments before. "So, uhh...Lenne? How is Spira? Have you met a Summoner named Yuna? Or...an Al Bhed named Rikku! Have you seen any of them?" Tidus asked, hoping to whatever god there was if she knew someone!

Underworld

Lenne froze up when the man threw his arms around her, but she quickly relaxed, quite amused by his show of enthusiasm. Shuyin hadn't been like this, though....he'd always been a little older, a little less innocent...

Smiling at his evident happiness even as the blonde pulled away, Lenne struggled to catch up with Tidus' rapid speech. Wow, he really can talk.

"Well...Spira is fine..." Vegnagun was vanquished at last, and Lenne blinked at the name Yuna. It was familiar, and she knew why. She was the beautiful summoner who had tried to stop Shuyin from utilizing Vengnagun, wasn't she? The one who had her songstress sphere, as well! "Yes, I know Yuna." They weren't exactly...friends, considering the fact that they hardly spoke, but Lenne had found her to be supremely pleasant, and wouldn't mind making friends with her.

She had gotten lonely, after all.

"And yes, I've seen Yuna...as well as Rikku." If her memory served her right, Rikku would be the blond with the skimpy clothes...right?

Underworld

A shiver ran up his spine as he stepped out of the Gummi Ship, blue eyes surveying the area. It was so dark here, in Olympus. The teen furrowed his brow lightly... for some reason, it didn't feel right here. Looking around, he saw what looked like spirits floating by in the glowing water. Backing away from the water, he walked ahead a little, shouting back towards Roxas and the others.

"Hey, you guys comin'?"

Hands in his pockets, the musician looked out over the one side of the water, head cocked out of curiousity when he saw the large rock shaped like a skull. What the heck was that? Whatever it was, it was creepy. Blue eyes flicked over to the pathway, following it up to the large doors.

Demyx threw a cautious look back, not wanting to go too far away from the rest. But.... something just drew him towards those doors. Hesitantly, he walked forward, hand extending outward to lay against the large door when he came up to it. Immediately, he felt a shock go through his system.

Memories hit like a tidal wave, and the feeling almost made him pull away. He remembered the time when he fought Sora here... and more importantly, he remembered things of the past. Pulling his hand away, Demyx stared ahead, a strange feeling swirling in the pit of his stomach. This explained too much to keep from Roxas and the others.

But how to tell them?

Tidus nodded, seeming to understand, though he still had little information of what happened recently. "Is Yeven gone? Or are they still causing trouble?" He asked calmly. He was a bit sensitive about Yeven. After all, they were the ones who turned his life - as well as his friend's - lives upside down.

He pulled his arms up and stretched, his muscles feeling constricting on his arms and legs from fighting Heartless for days. Tidus say down, right there on the floor. Where else was there to sit?

"Man...fighting Heartless is a pain in the butt."

Heartless in Spira?! That he did not know. "I...haven't been to Spira in a while. I was from Zanarkand a thousand years ago, but there was a huge and powerful fiend named Sin that destroyed the city and I ended up in a thousand years into the future. Where...I met her." Tidus explained, looking down slightly when he thought of Yuna. If the Heartless were in Spira, his home, then that meant...

Yuna was in danger!

He slowly pushed himself to his feet, sighing at the pain in his body protesting his movements. Damned limbs. Damned Heartless! But Lenne was right, it wasn't safe here.

"Is it me or does it feel kinda heavy in here? Like having chains all over you?" He asked her suddenly, feeling as if his magic was restricted somehow, as if something inside of him unknown to him and forign to him tugged it away from him and bound it to be unused by anyone. It felt...odd.
