just something I threw together for Tidus and Yuna. I would really like to see this as a YouTube AMV but don't have the skillset to make it myself so send the link if you know of it please.

The song belongs to neither me nor Square Enid, further details at the end.


A thriving city, filled with life and buildings that reached to the sky. It did gloriously for a moment, but soon the signs of turmoil showed. It started at the tops of the buildings, disappearing into particals of light...fading from existence. Then the lyrics started.

"Sleepers wake, dreams will fade...although we cling fast.

Was it real? What we saw? I believe..."

As the singer sang her ballad, they saw people in the city. At first, they were ignorant of the crisis descending on them as they lived peaceful lives... But soon they too started fading. Slowly. Ignorantly.

Then the scene switched to a boy: the new legendary guardian. He was smiling sadly at his summoner. At Yuna.

"Lost in dreams, we sleep on—tossing and turning.

Stay with me, by my side. Never leave."

The two stood in a lake in the middle of a forest, embracing one another as they shared a sweet kiss.

"What if the worst comes? What it someday this sweet reverie ends?

We too, our memories fade us by..."

The two were laughing on a stairwell as they watched the sunset.

"Dream with me, by the sea—we watch the waves crash.". They were now sitting on a each side cliff, their view of another sunset marred only gently by a set of ruins only just peaking above the water.

"Hold my hand, think of me

And I'll fly..."

The boy — now fading just as the city had — embrace d her in a parody of a hug...before running straight through her and jumping off a flying ship. Moments later, those particles of light flew up into the sky before Yuna's tear filled eyes. The boy had faded...

Then the screen faded to black.

Just as it seemed over, words bled onto the screen.

'You faded from this world, but that does not mean you are not real. The beautiful thing about a dream is that you can keep it close to your heart, so that it will continue to exist. I will keep you close in both mind and heart so that you can stay with me...'

Then the message faded to be replaced by a single word. One that was read aloud in both Yuna's voice and in his voice together.

"Always."


Bet you didn't think of this song. Ballad of the Wind fish, from Zelda: Link's Awakening. I was just listening to the song and it abruptly clicked that Tidus and the dream Zanarkand are the same as Marin and Koholint.
