Auron pushed and shoved through crush of people down a long, long corridor. He knew this Gaia would take and give places as it pleased, but this... this was different. He found himself in Bevelle, somehow. This day... this day would never leave him.

Lined up in the courtyard inside of the walls were a small band of young men who he had trained with for many years. The old rivalries between himself and the other boys made him grin as he saw himself, a young man of 20 with nape-length jet black hair and both eyes still fully functional. He began to elbow the shorter redhead next to him lightly in the ribs, teasing him about his lack of height. Auron removed his sunglasses out of respect for the final initiation, rolling his eyes hard as the tutors began to speak. Considering he had no real love for this particular man that was talking, he began to mock him under his breath, the boys snickering at his snide but brutally true commentary.

Quiet for once, Yuffie came to stand next to Edgar, laying a hand on his back. "It was a nice memory. You should be happy."

She let her hand fall from the King's back, humming a bit to herself. Okay, so she had let a few moments pass before she said any teasing comments, it was time for some more. "At least you were cuter when you were younger!"

Yuffie darted away before anything, running backwards so she could see Edgar's and the other guy's expressions. Suddenly, the scenery changed once more. Figaro Castle fell apart around them, and the calming lands of Wutai came forth, trees sprouting from the ground. This wasn't the Wutai they would recognize, however. This was the Wutai Yuffie knew more, the one with the Mako Reactor looming in the distance, with flags proclaiming the best tourist attractions west of Costa del Sol.

A cluster of buildings surrounded them, with the Pagoda of the Five Gods in the background. Wutai was damaged, broken. People all around were fixing things up.

"Yuffie, my daughter. You're back."

Yuffie stopped suddenly, turning around. There, with tools in his hand, stood her father, Godo. The Yuffie that responded back looked tired, battle-worn. "What are you doing?"

"The town needs much assistance. Wutai will need young people like you." He set the hammer in his hands down, looking to her fully.

"You know what I've been through, right? What happened to the welcoming party? Where is everyone?!" Her father had begun to walk away at this point. Yuffie quickly followed, explaining her exploits.

"I know nothing about what you’ve done. What I know is that the world got dragged into a mess that the foolish Shinra and crazy SOLDIERs caused. In the end, the universe’s will was to end that dispute and it summoned Meteor but, our planet defended itself by releasing the Lifestream and destroyed it— That is the way I understand it."

Auron had only caught the smallest snippets of memory. If anything, he was utterly confused about what Yuffie was explaining to the phantom only she could see. He was concerned for all involved, but Edgar seemed to have been deeply affected by what he saw. "Are you alright?" he asked him, still watching and following Yuffie closely.

In truth, he had no idea what to make of anything at this moment. This world and its magics were far too treacherous to even trust, let alone relish in. But still... he had not realized how much he truly missed his old friends of youth.
