I am glad to hear that people have been going back to their normal states. Though I did make some new friends in the past few days. And lose one.

But it has been beginning to cross my mind that perhaps I should journey back to Besaid. There is this feeling within me that perhaps I should have waited a few more years before doing this on my own.

You know Rikku? She's a dear friend of mine.

I grew up in Besaid myself.

[myfinalyevon]

There was a Yevonite temple near where I used to live on Besaid. I used to go there when my parents fought and read the old texts the priests gave me. Perhaps that explains my introverted nature.

Thank you, Miss Yuna. I appreciate that.

[endlessgrace]

Coincidentaly, the temples is where I was raised. It was indeed a pleasure to enjoy their sanctuary.

[myfinalyevon]

It's always calm in the temples. I've always been drawn to the idea of Yevon, and it's probably due to my childhood. The idea of a Supreme Being is ... comforting, in a way.

[endlessgrace]

Indeed, Yevon will always be there to console those who ask of it. But your childhood was not pleasant?

[myfinalyevon]

It was fine. I was just a nervous child and didn't like fighting. I... had a wonderful childhood. My parents didn't do anything strange; people always fight. I was just a bit more sensitive to it, especially when my younger sister Rosa was born.

[endlessgrace]

Oh, I see. I can see how the temples brought comfort to you, if that was how you were as a child. *small smile* Its how a lot of the children are like at the temples nowadays, as well.

[myfinalyevon]

The temple always provide a sanctuary, especially compared to the hustle-and-bustle of island life. What about your childhood, Yuna? You mentioned living in the temples.

[endlessgrace]

*nod* I lived there after my father died, since I didn't know of any other family. For the kindess they showed me I'll always be grateful.

[myfinalyevon]

I'm sorry to hear about your father. The death of family is hard.

[endlessgrace]

Yes, it was a difficult thing to bear... Xaldin's cruel reminder didn't help. But the temple helped to ease the pain of his passing.

But I'll keep his spirit with me. He helped to purge darkness, yet not destroy Heartless, by trying to find ways to help them become human. So its almost as if I'm carrying on his work.

[myfinalyevon]

... You're helping Heartless get their hearts back?

That's... very good. It's possible, you know.

[endlessgrace]

Yes, but the task is proving harder than I thought. I often wonder how my father was able to do it for such a long time.

...Do you know a way?

[myfinalyevon]

You can't force people to do something they'd never want. Aggravating them does nothing to persuade them.

I only know of the way I did it for myself. Everyone's source of Light is different.

[endlessgrace]

Yes, which is probably how I've been called 'nosy' before. And an optimistic brat. But I can't help but feel like they don't fully realize how darkness won't help...

You... were a Heartless? *stunned*

[myfinalyevon]

It doesn't help. The Darkness merely hides what you really need. If it is of any value, I do not think you are a brat. They're merely too deluded and deep into it to see clearly. Only they can save themselves... if they want to leave.

It's not something I'm particularly proud of.
