Chapter Nineteen: The Destruction of Zanarkand
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Yunalesca�s
eyes opened suddenly and she groped on the dark for the lamp. The sudden
onset of light in the dark room woke her husband who was sleeping soundly
beside her. The two had arrived at their hotel in Luca just hours before
and had collapsed onto the bed in sheer exhaustion to sleep but something � a
feeling of dread � woke Yunalesca. Zaon�s sleepy question filled the room,
�What�s the matter?�

�Call
Shuyin.�

Zaon
sat up suddenly, now seemingly completely awake, �Call him? Now?�

�Yes,
now,� Yunalesca replied, �Just call him. Humor me, Zaon.�

Zaon
shrugged, �I�m sure he�s sleeping, Yuna.� The look his wife gave him was a pleading
one and Zaon felt compelled to call if only to calm this sudden fear in
her. He reached for the hotel phone next to him and asked, �His home or
his cell?�

�Try
his cell. That way we�ll get him no matter what.� Zaon nodded and punched
in Shuyin�s number, �Put it on speaker�� his wife demanded.

Zaon
nodded and pressed the speaker button. Three sharp rings sounded and were
followed by the sound of someone picking up, but it wasn�t who they thought it
would be.

�I�m sorry, but the user you have dialed is out of service
range. Please try again later.�

�Out
of service range?� repeated Yunalesca, �I thought that the cell phones were
good for all over Zanarkand��

�They
are�� her husband replied as he dialed the number again.

�I�m sorry, but the user you have dialed is out of service
range. Please try again later.�

�I�ll
try his home number.� Zaon said as he punched those numbers into the
phone. It was followed by three�four�five sharp rings and then a click.

�Hi, this is Shuyin. I can�t answer right now so leave me a
message and I�ll give you a call back when I can.�

Yunalesca�s
brow knotted in concern and she leaned closer to her husband, �Should we try
Lennie�s cell?�

�But
isn�t she on the front line? It�d be out of range anyway.� Zaon shrugged,
�She probably left it at Shuyin�s.�

Yunalesca
frowned and looked out the window just as the sun began to make its appearance
over the crest of the horizon. The light glowed softly over Luca and
Yunalesca would have smiled had the feeling of dread not been so poignant, �Oh,
Zaon. I hope nothing�s wrong.�

------------------

The
Bevelle soldiers trudged through the snow that was falling sideways on the
snowy slopes of Gagazet. Their bodies were chilled through and through
for none of them had thought that they�d end up lost on the great
mountain. The line of men followed their leader, Captain Durrn as he led
them up yet another overpass, promising once again that this one would lead to
the other side. The men were starting to lose hope in their leader and
with shaking hands tried to hold onto their guns and knapsacks.

None
of the men wanted to fight this war. None of them understood the need for
it. Zanarkand was bigger, but Bevelle was more powerful and their
alliance had worked for years and yet for some reason they were now told that
war was the only option.

It
made no sense.

A
low cry echoed from ahead of them and word trickled to the back that the crest
of Gagazet was ahead and soon they would be off the cursed mountain. The
men, though frozen to the quick, let out celebratory cries and quickened their
pace to reach the crest.

Inoreyo, hatenaku ebonju

The
men paused and looked around. Captain Durrn shouted, �Who�s singing that
infernal song? You all know that the song is outlawed in Bevelle!�

Sekae tamae

�Whose
doing it?!� Durrn screamed again as he forced all his men to stop in their
trudging, �That is the song those Zanarkand dogs sing to make fun of
Bevelle. I won�t allow any of my men to sing it!�

Yume miyo, Inorigo

A
light began to shine near Zanarkand and a cry went up through the soldiers,
��Tis a song from an otherworld!� screamed one near the front.

�An
otherworld!�

A
panic rose amongst the troops and Durrn saw the light behind him as well.
The light formed into a giant ball of water and before he could see what
happened after, he screamed, �Retreat!!�

----------------------

Yunalesca
couldn�t shake her bad feeling and crawled out of bed about an hour
later. Zaon stirred next to her, �What is it?�

�I
just can�t sleep,� she replied, �I�m going to watch the sphere.�

Zaon
tenderly grabbed her arm, �I�m sure everything is fine, Yuna. There�s no
need to worry.�

�I
hope you�re right�� she whispered as she walked out into the living area and
turned the sphere on. This particular hotel didn�t have the cable
channels that Yunalesca was used to. In fact, this particular hotel only
had 5 stations.

Today on Lerry Sprinkler, aeons and the summoners who love them.

Yunalesca
made a face and clicked on the remote again.

�Gart!�

�Don�t have a fiend, man!�

Yunalesca
laughed a little bit. �The Tympsons� were really funny, but she�d already
seen that episode.

We will return to �Gill & Lace� after these messages.

�Stupid
commercials,� Yunalesca hissed to herself.

�What�s
wrong with commercials?� her husband asked jokingly as he stepped from the
bedroom in his boxers to join her.

�I
thought you were going to keep sleeping,� she said.

�I
can�t knowing you�re upset,� he replied, �so I thought I�d keep you company.�

Yunalesca
smiled, �I�m just trying to find something to watch but I�m having no
luck. There are only two more stations left,� she said as she flipped to
the next one.

Hi, I�m Nyan Moonflowcrest and I�m here to ask you the burning
question. Who will be the next Luca Idol?!

�Oh
now that is the burning question,� Zaon said sarcastically as he rose, �Let�s
go back to sleep, honey. There�s nothing on.�

Yunalesca
shook her head, �I still have one more station to try.� She replied as she
flipped the station. It was the news and she made a face, �Figures, I
hate the news.�

Zaon
laughed, �Now let�s just go to sleep,� he said as he grabbed the remote from
her hand and made to touch the power button when the sight on the sphere caught
his attention.

�This is Lorni Isan of Spherechannel 23 with breaking news.
I am live in Airship 23 above Zanarkand where a horrendous thing is
happening. Bevelle soldiers announced today that while cresting Gagazet
they heard a song and then a bright flash of light just before a monster
appeared above Zanarkand.�

Yunalesca
gasped as she and Zaon crawled closer to the screen. The �monster� was
changing shapes between a large waterball and a huge piece of dirt.

�We�re not sure what to make of this monster, but it appears to be
ingesting Zanarkand as it passes over it, leaving behind only rubble in its
wake. There also appear to be a huge number of fayth forming near the
base of Gagazet in Zanarkand.�

�What
the�.� Zaon whispered as his eyes watched the scene painted before them.
This monster was indeed passing over Zanarkand and pulling houses and cars into
itself before dropping them back on the ground in broken pieces.

�So far this monster has destroyed D-West and C-South and is
slowly traveling toward B-North. With the trajectory it is traveling in,
we estimate that it will leave most of A-East relatively unharmed structurally
but no doubt kill any people still in that location. This is Lorni Isan
and I�ll keep you posted on this horrible story as it develops.�

Yunalesca�s
hands were shaking as she reached for the remote her husband had dropped and
turned the news off. Zaon looked at her, �They�re dead��

�That�that
was�no, that can�t be��

Zaon
squirmed closer to his wife, �You know what that thing is?!�

Her
eyes connected with him and were rimmed with fear, �I thought it was a myth��
she whispered, �It�s a final summoning called Sin and when a summoner calls a
final summoning, they sacrifice themselves.�

�Final
summonings don�t exist!�

�That�s
what I thought!� Yunalesca cried, �especially that one! It�s
volatile. Nobody can control it. It exists only to destroy and
kill!�

Zaon
stood suddenly and began pacing around the room, �Damnit, Yuna! Did your
father call that thing?!�

�He
said that he had a greater purpose for me�he must have called it.�

�Then
what the hell is his greater purpose?�

Yunalesca
crossed her legs on the carpet, �The only way to defeat a final summoning is
with another final summoning. A summoner must gain all the aeons that
Spira has to offer and then summon the final aeon, but in return for that power
the final aeon will kill the summoner.�

�What?!�
Zaon shrieked, �I won�t let you die just to stop that thing!�

�I
can�t defeat it, Zaon.� Yunalesca replied, �The aeon Yojimbo vanished and I
didn�t receive him. There�s no way I can call the aeon without turning
someone into an aeon.�

�You
can do that?� her husband asked, incredulously.

Yunalesca
nodded, �All summoners can. It�s a fail-safe just in case an aeon is
stolen�like Yojimbo was.� Her eyes locked with him, �There has to be a bond
between chosen and summoner, for that is what the Final Summoning embodies.�

�What
sort of bond?� her husband asked.

�The
bond between husband and wife, mother and child, or between friends. If
that bond is strong enough then the summoner will gain the final aeon.�

Zaon
sat down next to his wife and ran a hand through her blond hair. Yunalesca
looked into her husband�s eyes and whispered, �I can�t defeat Sin alone,
Zaon. I need your help.�
I was on a good streak these past few days, so to thank all of you
for the great reviews, I have decided to post the final two chapters of Silver
Wings as well as the first chapter to Silver Wings 2 at the same time.
Thanks so much and keep the reviews coming. They really mean a lot to me!
Author�s Notes: For those of you wishing that Allyn would get what�s coming to
her, this chapter is for you. Although, after you find out some of the
stuff that Benedict has done, you might feel sorry for Allyn. In this
chapter you will also find out what happened to Lenne and Shuyin. There
is one more chapter after this one that wraps up Silver Wings. The entire
�Shuyin/Lenne� saga will be wrapped up in Silver Wings 2. The first
chapter of that story will be posted shortly. Also, please note that in
the next two chapters any words in italics indicate that it is Lenne
speaking and no one else (except the fayth) can hear her.
