I don’t know what I should do. I try to put on a mask, a brave face, so that everyone will see I want to become high summoner. I don’t want them to know that although I know what happens once you die, I’m still scared of what it’ll feel like to be on the other side of that platform that separates the living from the dead in the farplane. To be the one floating effortlessly in the air, not the one standing on solid ground.
“Father, did you ever feel scared about the end of your pilgrimage?” I ask quietly, knowing the others won’t hear me. They’re too careful about giving me the privacy I want, to say goodbye to places I won’t see again. Except Tidus of course, but then he doesn’t know. And that’s one of the reasons I love him so much, the fact that sometimes his words cut my heart in two but I know he’s only saying them because he doesn’t know.
The ghost of my father nods, and my mother squeezes his hand. They seem so happy together, even though they aren’t alive.
“I love you mama, father, but I don’t know that I’m ready to spend eternity with you yet,” I whisper. “I’ve fallen in love, but I should marry someone else because it would help Spira. He’s a maester, but something about him is… strange. He seems nice, and I’m sure he would let me continue my pilgrimage, but there’s something about him I just don’t like. I don’t know what to do.”
My parents smile at me. I wish they could speak to advise me or even just tell me they will support what I choose to do, but they can’t. They are just memories really, not their true souls.
I remember when my father defeated Sin, people were cheering in the streets. Everyone was so happy, and although I was sad I was happy that everyone else was happy. I know if I marry Maester Seymour my own heart will break, but it would bring hope to the people.
“I’m going to marry Maester Seymour,” I tell my parents. My parents nod and smile encouragingly at me. I turn and walk away, knowing I will never see them again until I join them as a departed soul on the Farplane, hopefully after defeating Sin.
