Chapter 12

Dream Come True

Yuna's eyes shot open as a soft melody hummed its tune along with the rippling water. She rose halfway to find that a small typhoon rose from the middle of the lake. Was it her imagination or was she dreaming? She cautiously swam deeper into the water, watching the small wall of liquid rise. It was pretty…

The group had just reached the edge of the drop when they saw Yuna standing in the lake, swimming closer to the cyclone. Rikku and Lulu yelled out her name as Kihmari, Wakka, and Kael slid down the precipitous rim trying to reach Yuna.

Kael dove in first followed by Wakka and the Ronso. Kael reached Yuna first and tried to drag her away, but she wouldn't budge! She kept moving foreword as if in a stupor! Wakka and Kihmari swam over and tried to pull Yuna away but their combined strength had no effect. The cyclone was inching closer to the summoner and the trio. Lulu had also tried casting simple lightning spells onto the spout without hurting the rest in the process, but it did little to stop it.

Yuna kept moving, not even noticing that her friends tried to pull her away. She was curious and she kept swimming closer, watching the cyclone weave colors that spellbound her to its atmosphere. It was only seconds later that she realized that it was right above her, hovering to slam its weight upon her fragile body.

"Oh shit!" Kael shouted as the waterstrike fell upon them, sucking them under by a strong tide. Kael still held onto Yuna's body, but the strong tow severed his hold on her waist and he was thrown back into the murky depths.

The last thing Yuna saw was the warping water around her, the crushing of the cyclone's press, and the force that knocked all air out of her. It was only minutes later when she broke the waters surface, gasping for air that she so badly needed. Yuna struggled to stay above, but her energy was failing. It was then when Yuna felt hands grab a hold of her and pull her to shore. She knew that her friends had rescued her from instant death and so she willingly fell asleep knowing she was safe.

"Is she going to be all right?"

"I don't know…"

Yuna knew that somebody was with her and she flickered her eyes open. Yuna stared up straight at the ceiling then at the two people next to her.

"AHH! Who are you!" Yuna shouted as she shoved herself against the cool walls.

"Where's Wakka? Kael and Lulu?!" Yuna inquired, "Rikku? Kihmari?! Where am I!" Yuna's head swirled as she looked at a man and a woman standing watching her wide eyed. The man look like he was in his middle thirties and the woman looked like she was twenty.

"Calm down." The man began, "My name is Terrance and this is my daughter Saluki."

"Where are my friends? Where am I? Am I in Bevelle?" Yuna asked frantically.

"Bevelle? In that jackass metropolis? No! Your in Zanarkand, the finest city in all of Spira." Saluki answered with pride. This is eerie…Yuna thought as she scrambled off the divan and stood up. But isn't Zanarkand a ruin? Maybe some people still live here…

"You should rest…what is your name?" Terrance requested.

"My name is Yuna, High Summoner of Spira…" but she was cut off as the young girl bowed low before her.

"Lady Summoner! We are so sorry, we should have realized that you were a diviner by the staff you have. Please forgive us." Saluki begged.

"Oh please do not bow, it's nothing special really." Yuna said as she knelt down to pick the young woman up.

"I just have one question, how did I get here?"

"We found you floating in Zanarkand's Bay and we rescued you before you sank down to the bottom. You've been asleep for three days now, my daughter and I thought you weren't going to make it." Terrance explained. Yuna nodded and looked around the room, it was pretty well kept for a home in what was left of city.

"I thank you for your kindness, but I must leave." Yuna apologized.

"Are you sure you wouldn't like to stay for dinner? We are having a rare delicacy, Yevon Wafes." Saluki asked.

"Thank you very much, but I have to find my friends." Yuna took out a bag of gil and placed it on the table, "I hope this will be enough."

"Thank you High Summoner." Terrance said and Saluki looked inside the pouch to see a mound of gil.

"My lady this is too much!" Saluki exclaimed.

"Keep it." with that Yuna turned toward the door, not even thinking of the shock she was about to get!

* Heh…Man that was a close one! Poor Yunie! R/R ^^ PLZ??? *
