Audition for Lenne

[Lenne]

Boom! Another explosive dropped out of the sky and hit a tall building on the other side of the street from where the battered songstress was standing. There was hardly any cover left to take at this point. Everything was damaged. Quickly thinking, she dived behind the a large stack of wooden crates stuffed with hay that she couldn‘t believe were still standing. She felt a ray of heat flow over her head and bring sweat down her forehead. She whipped it away before it could get to her brunette eyebrows as she stood up, knees trembling from the pains that were shooting down her legs. She walked out from behind her cover, noticing that those too were now being eaten by the fire. Lenne watched as a few of the citizens fled hollering in the streets, trying to get away from the area. Many had given up at this point, as you could tell by some of the corpses with bullet holes, feeling that there was no escape. Just when Lenne thought she had a moment to suck in the little oxygen that was left in the smoke filled air, there was another loud noise in the distance, which could only mean another bomb had been dropped.

“Where are you?” Lenne spoke in a worried tone, scanning the area for tall, light haired men.

Her lover was no where to be found. They had gotten separated a while back in a massive crowd of people. Lenne tried to go back for him, but flames had engulfed the pathway. Right now, she was looking for another way around. His body had to be giving up just as hers was, which only made her more concerned. After all, they had been trying to fight off the army for hours. How could her beloved city let itself come to this? Many people opposing the newly stated Zanarkand army had fallen, leaving Lenne to witness the horror of watching all of her friends lives perish right before her eyes. They’re wasn’t much hope for a come back. As long as Shuyin was alive, she just couldn’t give up hope. Not yet.

Another air ship was making it’s way toward her current location. Lenne sucked up the pain, and began to run again. All of her summons were long past defeated and useless against the masses of the army. It wasn‘t too far off in the distance that Lenne heard the high pitched screams that sounded like the voice of a young female child. Although it was hard to see through the smoke, she couldn’t have been more then seven. Everyone else was just running past her, trying to save themselves, not caring about whether anyone else was injured. She couldn’t believe how people would just sacrifice others, sometimes their loved ones, in order to save themselves. It wasn’t very human to act with such cold hearts.

Turning her running speed up a notch, Lenne managed to get there just in time to tackle the brunette child down to the ground as another bomb was dropped onto the bakery shop close behind the girl. Lenne managed to cover her from the flames, but she wasn’t able to help herself. A deep serge of pain and agony went through the summoner as the flames scorched her back. She let out a shrieking scream and dropped to her back, rolling to put out the fire before she was burned any worse. She had to force herself to quit coughing. After taking only moments to breathe, she stood herself back up.

“Are you alright?” she asked the little girl, out of breath, gasping for more of the thin air the fire was taking away from them. “Let’s get you out of here.”

Lenne went to pick the young child back up, just as two helicopters circled closer to the ground, dropping off at least a dozen of it’s soldiers. She couldn’t believe this, it was one challenge after another. Although she was already defeated, Lenne picked her summoner’s staff up off the concrete ground from next to the child, and then took her place in front of her. She had to defeat the odds here for the sake of seeing Shuyin again, and for the sake of this child. Her heart was aching, which was the worst pain of all. Shuyin and her withstood one thousand years apart, were put to rest, and revived by the Gods. Yuna had done the impossible by bringing Lenne and her love back so they could finally live a life together. They had all come too far and worked to hard to have it all end here.

”We'll die together again, or not at all!”

That was the only thought on her mind, and she knew it was what was going to get her through this. She took a ready stance.
